Peachy things
🕑 Added 2025-01-13 02:25:40 +0000 UTCThis has been a difficult week, I had to say goodbye to one of the cats I've had for almost 12 years yesterday due to lung cancer. I haven't quite made sense of anything in my brain yet because it was so shocking and jarring, when my dog passed last year I knew it was coming for months but this caught me completely off-balance. Rough start to the year.
It's been a little cathartic to draw simple things like Peach over and over again. Just using different styles, and in other news, I've only got 10 pages left to color of Libby & Holly. Ever closer, ever closer.
I know this will probably have an impact on what I'm able to get done this month, it will likely result in me just doing whatever work feels like the biggest escape and right now that seems like drawing Peach.
Happy Sunday, everyone, hug your kitties for me ๐

So sorry to hear about your loss. Itโs been 5 years since we lost our first beloved dog, so I understand how it feels ๐ Iโm glad you were able to find some solace in art, I too found itโs a good way to keep the thoughts at bay. Take all the time you need!
Rico
Hope youโre doing ok Winton! I know how hard it can be to lose a loved one, especially a pet ๐ Whatever your mind decides to draw is what Iโll be happy to consume. Thank you for all your hard work. Keep going strong!
Taylor
Iโm so very sorry :/ Iโve been there and can totally empathize. Sending virtual hugs your way
Rev. Zee
I'm so, so sorry.
Zack
Also, is that an actual stool she's sitting on, or just a hapless / lucky Toad who happened to be nearby? My headcanon favors the latter...
Zack
So sorry to hear of your loss. Please take the time you need to grieve; your work is always worth waiting for. Case in point, these are lovely. I appreciate your dedication to keeping Peach juicy <3

I'm so sorry for your loss, Winton, I went through a similar thing with my dog before Christmas and I know it's devastating. Take your time and let the scars heal.

Sorry for your loss man, I lost an old cat a few years ago, it's rough. Try to focus on the time you had together and try not to stress yourself too much
Alina Castillo
So sorry for your loss ๐
Jamie
Take care of yourself and give yourself some slack while you process this. When my first cat died, she went from what we thought was fine to gone in a week and it was so awful to go through. Iโm so sorry youโre going through this right now. Prudence (my pfp) and I send our love ๐
Chantal Strong-DePauw
Iโm so sorry for your loss. Itโs always so hard to lose those you love, but the shock of unforeseen loss is its own kind of heartache. Try to focus on all the good you shared and brought to each others lives as you move through this, and move gently๐

Seventeen years! ๐ It's wonderful to be able to spend so much time with them but I feel like that just makes it harder because they become such a fixture in our lives๐ Thank you for the kind words, Tiffy
Winton Kidd
I've learned that cats can really hide their pain/discomfort too, so even though we keep really careful watch over our cats it just seemed to come out of nowhere๐ญ I'm sorry to hear about your loss, too Grace. It's always hard

Very sorry to hear about your loss.
Fable
Take your time to grieve, im so sorry for you and yours and hope you can cherish the memories of the lovely life you gave ๐
Grace Kieser
Losing a pet suddenly is hard. We had to put our cat down several years ago because of a throat tumor. They said they couldn't operate, and just a few days later she was gone. Take the time you need to grieve and process. We'll still be here! Just because they were a pet doesn't diminish your love for them
Tiffany Salem
im so sorry to hear about the loss of your cat winton. i lost my 17 year old kitty a couple years ago and i still can't believe she's gone, so i completely understand where you're at right now. try take care of yourself right now, we can be patient. โฅ๏ธ by the way, the peaches look absolutely adorable. i really love that you've been into drawing her lately! ๐
Kurbee
Oh Winton. I'm so sorry to hear. They were so lucky to have your love and I'm certain you gave them a wonderful life. Losing our fur babies is so hard. Take it easy.
Sephiroth1204
I'm so so sorry for your loss. Cats are something else. These peaches are adorable though, do what you need to to cope and get that escape <3
