Even with the small amount of interactions I have been able to put in lately, I figured I would try something less personal and more fun to do journal-wise. Nothing more than just some lax fun to be had here. π
BASICS:
name/nickname: Julie, also okay with OokamiJ
gender: uses female, but wouldn't be surprised if fluid/genderpunk considering I just do what I want as long as it's not harming me nor others
pronouns: she/her & he/him interchangeably
age: late 20s (Feb. 16, Millennial if you want to be in specific but I sure don't act like one much)
location: Midwest USA
fun fact: I have had some artwork published in a book during highschool through an art oriented after school club. Not exactly national best seller but I know they still sell them at the local area cons and stores.
hobbies/interests: gaming, Pokemon, Sonic the Hedgehog, anime and manga, music (varied), art, reading, vampires (one specifically)
dream job: as a child, I obviously wanted to be an artist; as an adult, I had considered doing either programmer or similar occupation (minus tech support)
ART:
favorite medium: traditional tools, especially colored pencils
favorite subjects (what do you like to draw, take pictures of, making music about, ect): any humanoid characters as well as anthro/animals to boot, creatures of various varieties
favorite artists/inspiration: too many to list, but Akira Himekawa (which is actually a duo of pretty awesome women mangaka) was a huge influence as well as several others
favorite period of art: bits of Japanese history, bits of Renaissance, but mostly a whole lot of modern
piece you're the most proud of: there's actually several of them, which might or might not be posted here
how long have you been creating: off and on since tot years, but full time starting 8th grade
how did you learn: mostly self taught, but had some influence from other teachers and drawing books
how long does it usually take you to make something: it depends on the project itself and how finished I want it to turn out
what's the big project you haven't got around to yet: art wise I have yet to make decent character sheets for most if not all of the characters I yak about; outside of art I still needed to do my website stuff and hoping to try and get into the electronic fixing scene with DS lite shell replacement especially since the L trigger button is not functional
TAG:
Tag five people: No point. I figured I let folks that want to do it, do it. Tagging me as the referrer is not a requirement, but we'll appreciated.
Who tagged you: Not exactly tagged, but I took the idea from @rorauru and went with it.

Not a lot of folks follow my Pillowfort (and I kind of don't blame them), but let's just say I probably picked a rough time to start back up on my art sharing jazz. Not just because of the uprising of Artificial Intelligence wanting to become artists because people feed it ideas (yeah, they're not artists). Bitcoin and the likes are just a footnote in the list of crap. The big thing that really agitated me the most is the uptick in spammy accounts and scams. I get tired of the same old get meds fast bait and switch as well as the numerous casino scams.
For the most part, I block the accounts but not before flagging their comment/posts. It just seems like most of these happen on spots like DoodleAddicts and sadly Listy (Instagram for readers). All I can do is sigh and do what I can. At least Listy gives me a decent amount of options compared to DA... Both of which I dropped from my radar for the said reason.
Second half of this is just a call for ideas on Species to use for a meme found on my FB and Tumblr feeds. Granted, they're moreso for anthro characters but I still want to do it with my ookamimi boy. I had considered using one as the original species and then have one just being plain Jane human. The ideas are so endless at this rate I figured it was a good idea to ask for suggests, hence this post.
