Ren @ziphi@vulpine.club

So, I haven't been on this account too much recently. There are a few reasons for that.

First of all: I've moved! To a different account I mean. I'll still be using this one to boost important things and artists I like and to post my own art, but my musings and depression posting will be elsewhere.

Second, I wanted to have a more private account with restricted follows. So pardon if I don't advertise it here. A few close friends have already found me there, but that's about all I'm comfortable with.

Third, my depression has been very severe recently. Extremely. About as bad as it gets. So I haven't been able to do much more than sleep, work (barely), and try to keep myself alive.

Anyway, I'll be around. Just a lot quieter than I used to be.

#Introductions !
Hey! I'm Ren.

I'm a grey fox, an artist (primarily with watercolor, ink, and acrylics), a nonbinary trans girl, and I dabble in just about everything creative. I also struggle with severe depression and use platforms like this to discuss and process it.

I have a terrible tendency to avoid initiating social interactions, but please, feel free to talk with me! I'll open up rather quickly.

Doing some design work for when I am eventually able to sell my pins! Still need a backing card for them, but here's a first step:

A logomark and logotype for branding purposes.

And, of course, I tried to make it still be readable (if a bit muddy) at lower resolutions as well. It's not perfect in that regard, but it works well enough for me.

Here's a red fox to go with the grey.

Eventually, I want to be able to make a pin for every variety of fox (and a couple of red fox color morphs), but that dream is far in the future, when I have a more secure base of buyers and also funds.

Here's another pin design!

I think this one has potential.

Yet another potential pin design!
This one would cost a bit to manufacture, as it would have to be a decent size and it has five enamel colors. And I don't know how much of a market there is for grey fox pins. But I *want* it.

Working on potential pin designs!
I don’t know if I’ll ever get the courage to have them made and sell them though.
