So with the new year officially underway and the uh... lets say troubling sociopolitical state of the USA atm, I wanted to again thank you all for giving me stable support throughout everything. Especially as a queer black creator, I've always struggled to find my place amongst even the most accepting of spaces. I'm really thankful to have garnered such an encouraging community.

Obviously this isnt limited to this month but, I really encourage all of you to check in and support your Black and POC friends during this time! Community beats tyranny every time!

I havent really spoken about it much, but a big driving factor for my creative output is to infuse more black... ness into things haha.

Thats one of the big reasons I've gotten so invested in my worldbuilding project, black and african themes are so rarely featured in media that I really want to do my due diligence! I appologize for the lack of concrete updates about it thus far, I've just been so caught up in research and planning!

And... to be honest... Im a little nervous about sharing any of it haha. Its one thing to make art of existing characters and properties, but when it comes to something more personal and, well, original... I worry how much of my audience will even care/like it haha. The general lack of interest in black/african themes is felt even in the furry fandom, ESPECIALLY the NSFW side...

Despite this... I am determined to share it with you all! Even if only a few of you care abt it, its something I just really need to do, I think.

I am officially designating this month as my "get over your anxiety and start posting about the spider project properly" month, no more hesitation!

I already have a bunch of sketches and concepts set up to start posting soon, theres just a few big explain-y things I wanna tackle first. I've already created a special tag and collection for it on here to stay organized!

As I've said before, there will be many NSFW themes discussed in the project, but its more than JUST nsfw stuff, so expect other worldbuilding posts too! I'll try my best to not clutter yall's timeline.

Oh also! Thank you to everyone who submitted to my comm form!

Ive already gotten into contact with every client I've accepted and am making good progress on the first batch, expect a lot of WIPS real soon!

I think thats everything! Thanks again <3

Best of luck, and honestly, I have been doing a bit of the same. One artist that I follow who has helped with this is Jerycer Dianingana because they will post pictures of the books they are using as a resource, and those books tend to have excellent pictures if you can find them. (Most arent digital, however)
