I will be posting art to start working on a portfolio for myself and hopefully connect with other artists again. I have spent several years mostly offline with the exception of art fight, which doesn't give back what I put in, so I'll be taking a small step back from that. I no longer feel the need to try to curate my art for an imaginary audience or to maximize attention, so I feel safe to start posting my art because I do genuinely like to share my work. Other than the digital attention rat race, the biggest thing that's held me back is fear of backlash over internet discourse. But I'm a grown man, and I know that there are other people who will like my characters and stories as much as I like making them, and that's what matters.
