Post Inktober
4 years ago
So, a day early for the victory lap but... I know I've already done the thing and it just needs to be posted so... Victory Lap, lols.
I am super happy that I made it through the entire fucking list this time. All 31 days of prompts, no skips, no cop-outs. It's all done~! Whoo! Final image from the prompt set will go up tomorrow afternoon as normal... Then once November rolls around... ahh... I don't know? XD I've got a few things I did before the month even started to still post? So I'll probably dig those back up and any other alts I had leftover to toss up maybe, if I feel like it... So those'll be up shortly I guess then... I dunno? I hadn't entirely planned for what to do after this. I just knew I wanted to do it and put all my focus onto it. And now... I dunno! XD
I've certainly got some projects to get back to and try to lift off the ground... one of which I teased with Leak, but... That's still a ways out from finished product. The pieces are all there, I just haven't put them all together yet. My usual awkwardness and stuff holding me back.
And it's hard to choose what to do sometimes too, even though I pretty clearly know my "audience" around here. :p Inktober has proven as much, as if I didn't already know. The breakdown is pretty much...
General/Clean/Personal Stuff - Barely any interest usually
Sex/Lewds and Non-Vore Kink - Low interest to Moderate attention
Vore Things - Lots of Fucking Attention, Lols
It messes with me sometimes, because I know I put a lot of effort into the cleaner things too and just... nobody cares, lols. XD But hey, this is effectively a porn site, I'm not surprised. It just feels weird and gets discouraging sometimes. But a few people still care and I guess that's enough, even if it's just my friends. :p But I've suffered from a lack of "Engagement" on FA for some time now, so I just get like that in general, not really know what people expect from me or if they'd actually buy anything I tried putting out. I guess if I ever finished anything, I'd know for sure, lols... but... aarrgghhh... the fickle motivation and the feelings that no one cares.
So again, I dunno. Don't expect me to keep uploading every day or anything, lols. But I'm going to at least *try* to maintain some manner of "just do it for yourself, if nothing else" like this Inktober thing nobody asked me for and I just did for myself and... maaaaaybe we'll make it somewhere? :p I just gotta decide on what to do. Probably should think up some YCH things soon too just because... holidays and-- getting more commissions of Taro maybe? I don't know. XD
Speaking of, first person other than me to draw em, go check this set out, it's fantastic~! <3 <3

And...yeah, to the engagement. :p Considering I've almost never drawn lewd, all I ever see is "Barely any interest usually" to "(Relatively) lots of fucking attention, lols" People want the vore, and it's the audience that was ultimately fostered so it makes sense that they're largely only paying attention for what they want, but it can be difficult on the motivation front. I won't deny that it can be hard to do it even when you settled into the idea that you're just drawing for yourself. After all, I've said to myself too often, if I feel like playing a game or watching a show, why force myself to draw instead when I'm the only one who cares anyway? :p It's a rather defeatist mindset when one succumbs to that, so gotta be kinda careful. But so long as you shift away from that then it can be kinda freeing to just...draw. Still feels bad when few seemingly care or pay attention something you put a lot of work into, but the sting is weaker when y'remember that those who care probably really care.
Anywho. :p Yay Taro~
aaaand yeeeeaaahs... tough to keep it all in check, but i'll keep working on it :p
And yeah, engagement do be like that. And art over writing, too. Learning to do things for yourself as a creator that values engagement is challenging and I'm still not very good at it. But if you've ideas and desires, please follow them! Your work's great and it seems like it makes you feel great too, and that's all the reason to do it!
(And that set is fantastic, agreed~)
aaaand yeeeeaaahhh... actually doing stuff for a "wide group of people" rather than "just yourself" or "just one other person" is ahh... kind of a tricky business? And I feel like aiming at a wider audience is naaaaawt my strong suit... :p
(and yee)
