I am Officially Retiering Estelle
3 years ago
I've been mulling this over for awhile and I think it's the right thing to do. Estelle was a manifestation from a very dark period in my life, and a lot of the thoughts and feeling I had back then that inspired her are thankfully no longer a part of me. I have ZERO desire to do anymore renders with her, and the few I have done semi-recently were all commissions. I will NOT deleting any of her renders from my gallery, they are a part of my past that is where they belong, and that is where they are going to stay.
And while the majority of the decision was purely for personal reasons I do realize the optics of having a character like Estelle, especially in today's climate, aren't the best. With American conservatives, and other fascist fuck-tards all over the world, ramping up their attacks on LGBTQ+ people having a non-binary character who is an uber-violent, criminally-insane, serial-rapist is, well, just super not cool. Not that it ever was.
Needless to say the Estelle's Plaything Special is no longer being offered and my commission info has been updated to reflect this.
And with that Estelle has been relegated to the past - like Nick Di Paolo's comedy career!
