I was initially confused by this site but now that I've finally joined it seems pretty cool? Really like the idea of the Local timelines. Anyway my name is Elaine and I make art and comics! I'll kick things off with the little TV robot man from my avatar! #art #mastoart #drawing #artwork #illustration
My goodness, it's been 20 years since I first read your name on that ancient art site starting with Y. (Not fully naming it in case you don't want people to find your old stuff.)
Your work was a big inspiration to me back when I had just discovered the online art community. It's great to see you're still around, and your style has evolved so beautifully!
@bestiaexmachina aaawww thank you so much!!! that means a lot!! 😭 I honestly didn't think anyone remembered me from that site, haha! (and I still enjoy furry stuff even though I don't draw them as much now)
Yeah, it feels like most people from back then have scattered into the wind, became professionals in the industry (and are hence super elusive online), or I may just not recognize them any more due to them changing their online handles AND style – so it's always great to see a familiar face from back in the day!
I hope you had a great start here and enjoy this place as much as I do. 😊
I was just lurking back then, to be completely honest – was never brave enough to apply, afraid my work might not pass the quality control. 😅
I hung out on Side 7 as "Scary Sarry" (😂🙈) and eventually switched to DeviantArt around 2003-ish, where I went by "Cibex" for a long time. (Absolutely no offense taken if it doesn't ring a bell – I was mostly active in an industrial and glamfur-adjacent niche and chances are we might just not have crossed paths!)
