Name Change    

By Jijix, 3 years ago
This has been in the works for some time now.
The name Jijix is associated, for me, with a lot of good things, and a lot of bad things too. It was originally made as a kind of 'brand name,' not representative of anything or language. Throughout its tenure, it has enjoyed a long period of good standing and success. It has also seen some negativity, when I overloaded myself with work years ago during a time of extreme hardship. Fortunately my life has not been so unstable in years.

This said, it has changed, and I don't wish to be called by that name anymore. Any time someone refers to me by that, I kind of twitch a little bit. I don't feel it represents me. My art has changed, my character has changed, my interests have changed, I've changed, and my audience has changed. It's time to reflect that with a name change that really means something to me, and for a while now I've been going by Vagabond (Or Nomad, where Vagabond isn't available.)

This name is something I will treasure, as it means many things to many people, myself included. I brought something to this fandom through this name, and I will continue to -- But through another.

I will keep this account updated with any art/content that I feel is relevant to it. Such as, if I feel like drawing some cute twinky boys or my old characters, I will post it up here. But, for my newer art and consistency, please see:

vagabond vagabond
nomadlioness on Twitter
nomad on SoFurry (account under construction)

You can expect my lioness character, updates to RaSS & associated universe there, as well as monster-y werewolf-y type content.

I would like to take a moment to thank all of you. All 15,666 of you (at the time of this writing.) Thank you for enjoying what I create enough to follow it and helping me to become who I am today. I wouldn't be where I am without you. This isn't goodbye, just a see you over there!

Let's look to the future,
-Vagabond

Kudos to the inevitable powers of change and the outcome of what lies ahead! ;3

You'll always be Jijix to me... but I can wholeheartedly respect your decisions to move on.
Been there, done that. ;)

So is this account going to have only repeats of what your new one will have? Please excuse me being rude, I just like to keep my watchlist clean and concise, so I don't wanna just have something
redundant, y'know?

I'm not stopping you from being yourself, man. I know that we've had our disagreements in the past. I don't know about you, but I know I'd rather let all that go. Whether or not I'm still on this
account doesn't really matter. <:3
