      Sorry to hear that Asya, depression and anxiety... no bueno. Sometimes it's good to step away to feel through it, though. I'm glad you're here, just wanted you to know, I went through a spell myself and you happened to be a shining light for me in this universe. Thank you for that... ☺

      In 2006 we had a crazy snowstorm here in Colorado, 6 ft. drifts, and the kids turned our property into a mini snowboarding hot spot... all the kids in the area were hanging out, and at the time we had Great Pyrenees dogs, it was so fun. One of our Pyrs acted so goofy though in snow and ice, and we though we lost him (we had a big property, lots of trees, a deep gulch with ice) and I found him lumbering around, breaking ice, rolling around in those huge drifts, just having a ball. I was the one freaking out. His name was Yeti BTW! And such a goof. Sweet and goofy.

      I'd love to see a Yak and moose or some kind of polar bear trying to figure out snow maybe (?) in your style! I bet you could come up with some really cool scenarios? Brainstorming here, maybe all the woodland animals are learning how to snowboard and the giant Yak is not figuring it out. Needs lots of help and so all the animal friends decide to fashion a special sled that works for him.

      🙂

        @Chantal-Goetheer Was reading through the thread here and when you said Yeti it reminded me of our Great Pyr, his name was Yeti. 🙂 Huge dog! Love Pyrs forever...

              I'm sorry you're going through such a hard time right now.

              I see a squirrel and a fox.

                    @Asyas_illos how fun! You should just have her draw a couple more and them use her ideas!

                    And sorry to hear about the depression and anxiety. I’ve been feeling a lot of that recently too. I hope drawing helps! Sometimes it does for me if I can push through the clouds enough to get really into it. Sending virtual hugs your way!

                              @Asyas_illos I'm sorry to hear you've been going through that, but I'm also glad you've decided to create again. Character wise, I'm thinking fluffy. Squirrel. Yeah, squirrel.

                                          @Asyas_illos I'm catching up on this thread... praying for continued energy, rejuvenation, and support as you make your way through this storm.

                                          I'm smiling to see the progress you've made and those anthropomorphic characters are SO CUTE!

                                          Other characters I envision - since there is a bunny, why not the good old Tortoise? Maybe he can be a father (slowly) pushing his mini-version too haha Maybe the Tortoise and the Hare are good friends now in their mid-life journey 😄

                                          Excited for what's to come and know that many of us are cheering for you in this moment! 🙏
