Alex/A.J - any pronouns - 18yrs old

heya, my name's alex. im a artist/cartoonist that draws furry/oc content and fanart! i like to dabble in other stuff like animation and 3d modeling. i have been drawing since i could pick up a pencil and have always wanted to do art and content creation full-time since i was 9 years old. i grew up with unlimited internet access and its done good and bad things lol. i grew up with newgrounds content that was reuploaded to youtube, gaming youtubers, and just the online art community. i started posting stuff online when i was about 10 years old. anything from personal cringy vlogs to my artwork. i love to collab with others and make silly characters. my purpose here is to just post my creations as a way to connect with others and express myself.

content warnings!!

- (self harm art) i draw a lot of artwork depicting self-harm, including artwork of myself and my sona. i use drawing this stuff as a way to prevent myself from doing self-harm and as a coping mechanism for self-harm thoughts. i am not nor would ever encourage self-harm for anybody. i will include trigger warnings each time i post art with those themes. btw, i am still currently in recovery for my mental health. i would appreciate if nobody would tell me over and over i need help or forcibly get me hellp when im already doing so. and if you dont like the way i cope you dont have to follow me. just block me. drawing self-harm/suicidal topics to cope doesnt glorify those things. the people who do glorify/sexualize it STAY AWAY I DONT LIKE YOU!!!- (suggestive/nsfw art) i do have accounts where i post erotic drawings that are NOT meant for people under the age of 18 years old! i do promote my nsfw art on my sfw accounts but with censors and a reminder that its not for people under the appropriate age. im not comfortable being sexualized by others and anyone who makes sexual comments directly towards me will be blocked. i sexualize my sona who represents me to a certain level but not fully.
