'Final' update

2 min read
Just a heads up, i will not be uploading to this account anymore, and i have (mostly) moved on from the paleo community based on a shift in interests and the toxicity of the paleontology community itself i no longer wish to be a part of or associated in.

While i am still keeping up to date in paleo news, i don't really enjoy drawing dinosaurs like i used to, because of the limitations of trying to stay accurate, i've seen too many arguments break out over 
accuracy even if its not the purpose of the artwork, sometimes its even a hostile complaint and i want nothing of it anymore. I am not a perfect artist, and i have my limitations in what i can do. 

I have moved on into training to get certified to become an automotive mechanic, since i have had a lifelong interest in cars and the racing industry (if i can ever get involved in it).
Last but not least is my art in general has changed a lot too, I still draw gryphons, but i also draw, you probably guessed it by now, living machines.

So yeah, leaving this account up as an archive.

Also, school update. I'm having to spend another year in highschool because depression killed my grades, wonderful ain't it? But i moved to a much smaller alternative school, so yeh.

Life update

4 min read
yeah you probably noticed i'm not very active on DA very much anymore, i kinda just...lost interest in this site, though, i am somewhat active on my second DA account, but its all mostly personal art and living machine artwork, sorry, no dinosaurs there :\ (rebranding myself ok). I've become more active on Tumblr, discord and Instagram. Especially discord, and if you really need to contact me, my discord tag is Singlespeed#6152

So starting off is my health, it has taken a sharp decline lately. Starting with my bodily health, i'm broken, broken as in uhhh... .my reproductive organs '>> Stuff ain't workin' right and i've been in and out of pain all summer, i suspect that my appendix is about to burst as well (fuck). This all started when i went up in a Cessna plane for around 30 minutes, and after we got on the ground, immediate pain, and it didn't go away for an entire week. it drained me of all my strength and i wasn't getting any sleep. I got my blood tested and an ultrasound done, and they didn't find anything wrong, but you know, i'm still dealing with the pain, and i have a checkup with an actual doctor in that particular field who will indeed probably find the issue, along other things i need to discuss (uh, yeah, you know).
My appetite had died and i haven't really eaten much in a week, my stomach hasn't growled at all during that entire time, and i literally just don't feel like eating, i've just been either having a snack or dinner once a day. I went from 138 pounds to 127 and its still kinda dropping. I've been doing a little better, but slowly, its hard to keep anything down or find food appealing, i don't know why.
And last but not least, my mental health, oh boy...I went into consoling a few weeks ago, and i was quickly diagnosed with ADHD, Social anxiety, and moderate-severe Depression. I was a bit surprised on the depression thing to be honest, i always denied it for the longest time, putting it off as just me asking for attention, but apparently it was actually depression so *shrug*.

I have my last year of highschool starting tomorrow, and i know it will be a super rough year, i HAVE to pass all my classes to make it through this year, and oh god its gonna kill me, i have zero hour, and i have to do one online class as well. I was lucky enough to get into a tech school, specifically auto tech, which i have recently grown an intense interest to, and i'm looking to make it a career.
You have probably heard me mention about joining the Navy, and yeah i am doing that, and i could be joining in as soon as next summer, but i'm thinking of waiting until the year after that, since i would be so fresh out of highschool. originally i wanted to do AirForce, but you know, i don't meet the physical requirements to fly, and that is something i've always wanted to do, but i'm too short and lightweight. Kinda hurts really, i wanna get a piloting license and fly myself, i don't know when that will happen, but hopefully some day, so being a mechanic in the navy is my only other chance. And it really sucks that i'm 18 now and there are people younger than me already achieving their dreams :\

last but not least, i started driving, i don't have my full license yet, but im getting it really soon if i can pass the test.

So yeah, basically my whole summer in a nutshell, its gonna be a rough year and hopefully i can push through


Ending it with a Snekky shelby mustang i doodled the other day, cuz its cool bro
