Back to Life
Hey guys, it's been a rough 3 years, and I'm still in a really bad place, mentally, socially, and financially, but I'm happy to be renewing my passion for my characters and stories. You can find me more actively on Instagram as: CtrlZeke or for my WWII & NSFW art, follow CtrlAltZeke I'm also moving to my new DA account/brand @ctrlzeke where I'll be posting only my personal art, characters, stories, etc.
Policies and Content Update
I got cancelled on social media and lost my career of 15 years cuz people dug up old stuff I drew 10+ years ago and had already deleted, and some kink art under a different pen name. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’d be lying if I said the last 3+ months haven’t been hell, and I’m still jobless and suffering, without a computer, my apartment, and my IRL friends over it, but I won’t let some random assholes online define who I am. I’ll continue to post my personal art here on Deviantart, as this has been my art home since 2003. My policies have always been, and are as follows: I believe all is fair game in art so long as you aren’t harassing someone, promoting hate, or spreading misinformation. Cancel culture was meant to stop actual criminals (rapists, child molesters, money launderers etc) from continuing to profit from their fame, not to defame randos online cuz you don’t like some ship they support or drawing they did. Anyone who practices petty/toxic cancel culture can get lost, as well as anyone
Rebranding: Feedback please!
I want to rebrand my personal art to disassociate it from my commission work. For the most part "ThirdPotato" is still my brand, but I want a different penname since the name I go by is quite permanently attached to my commissions. There would be no 'taking it back' since a lot of people in that community already know me by that name and have reblogged and tagged me under that name. I won't mince words, most of yall who have been following me for years know I do furry fetish commission work full time, but I don't want that to be associated with my personal art brand, so would it be weird if I just came up with a new pen name to go by, to associate with "ThirdPotato"? I used to go by Fyuvix, but it was a dumb name from childhood from a ripoff pokemon thing I had going. My current penname Tato is just a shortened verison of "Thirdpotato" so it's not entirely super-top-secret. But I don't have anything for folks to call me on my personal art accounts that isn't just my furry penname...
New Beginning
... I know I said I wouldn't store my old cringey art, but here I am... I went ahead and stored 3.4THOUSAND deviations (It was an all-day endeavor XD). It was emotionally difficult to go through essentially a scrapbook of my entire life for the last 17 years on Deviantart. DA had always been a place to share, connect with people, make some life-long friends, and grow as an artist. Going through my 4.8k deviations caused me to face my past- the good, the bad, and the ugly. Literally, the ugly XD soooo much ugly. It wasn't just out of vanity, but rather, my old art represented a version of myself I no longer identify with; outdated humor, beliefs and attitudes. With the world in the state it's in today, I didn't even want some of the old stuff to be available to the public. I drew and said a lot of things in my youth that were petty, insensitive and cringe, and I want to be able to shake that and move on. I was recently forced to delete entire galleries on FurAffinity due to their

Awesome.
I've been posting plenty of stuff also with the fan pics lately. XD
Just some fun gaming experience I enjoy sharing. I made it out like
my in-game persona is doing, "Quantum Leap" from one game world to
another. XD I'd would write a brief fan fiction scenario with each pic.
It was an alternative to a full on literature, back when I used to post
fan fiction on DA. But due mostly from the lack of interest, and the
baffling appeal towards lesser thought out fan fics, this fun project
became an indirect revenge, meaning, I do what I do with fan pics
for my own amusement anyway. Plus it makes for nice visual reference
for my future original projects. It has many tactical purpose. Hehe.
Recently though, I started writing my next chapter of my original light novel,
after so many months of writer's block, among other combination of reasons.
But, I'm happy to have finally gotten back into the writing.
I'm also working on the graphic novel version as well. It's all coming along very slowly.
Oh, Happy New Years! XD
We made it to another year as striving artist. XD
I'm sure you've had your share of creative challenges too. ^^
Some of the artist here on DA, have disappeared off the digital map or
have gone silent. And so the rest of us would have to carry the torch of
their hopes with us.
