TL:DR I'll be Posting a Lot Less Art next year...
2 years ago
TL:DR
I'm going to be posting a lot less and will almost exclusively focus on commission work.
The full version below:
A Change in Plans...
I'd imagine most of the people following me probably won't read this long post and that's okay. This is really a message for my friends and people who genuinely care about me.
I plan to slow down a lot on posting content for this account. As in, I want to work less here. There's a few reasons why I've made this choice, but I'll talk about the main reason.
For those who don't know, I am currently studying a Bachelor of Animation at University. It's a career I've always been interested in and it was only up until last year when I bit the bullet and had a go at it. My life before then, well... it wasn't great. Long story short - school was awful, I was bullied a lot, I had very little friends, my older siblings were far more acedemic than me (which became an expectation my parents wanted me to meet but I was never able too). I had almost nothing to my name when I finished school, the next few years I was working 2 jobs that slowly made me miserable. Life sucked. I started making size art as a means of escapism, to imagine a fantasy where I would be happy. And when I started posting art to my account, I was shocked by the positive reception! It was a moral boost! I used this as motivation to continue drawing and to practice getting better at it!
It was at this point I realised that I actually could make a career out of drawing! And given how awful life was working those two jobs, I decided that I earned this opportunity to at least try! So after researching the best campus to study at, carefully planning for accommodation, and many months of cleaning up at home to make life easier for my Dad for when I leave, I finally packed my bags and moved to the city to pursue my dream job!
This was probably the boldest and bravest choice I've ever made in my life, but my family isn't convinced I made the right choice. They still believe I'm wasting my years and money chasing a hopeless fantasy. And I partly don't blame them... They have never seen my art. I would go to great lengths to hide my fetish work. I was basically living a double life in secret. If they ever found out about it, I don't think I could ever face my family again - I'm THAT shameful about it... Not that I think there's anything "morally" wrong with vore art (most of the time), it's just they could never understand.
But this is where my problem lies: I'm about half-way through my animation course, and outside of the projects I've done, I have NOTHING else to show for it (Well, nothing I CAN show that isn't Vore Fetish art). As I've been told during my studies, when I go job hunting, I will need to have a PortFolio of work I've made. This Portfolio NEEDS to be Safe For Work!
And now you can probably guess what my dilemma is. If I continue to spend my time making vore art, I'm never gonna have anything to show for my Portfolio.
And if I can't get a job because of my 'empty' Portfolio, this VERY Extreme Decision I've made against the wisdom of my Dad (and family) would be all for nothing (and I truely won't hear the end of that for the rest of my days).
The point is, I didn't come all this way to fail. I Want to Succeed. I NEED to Succeed! And so, I've made the very difficult decision to cut right back on posting on this account. At least for 2023.
What does this mean? Well it means I will almost only work on commissions and I will limit down the number of commissions I'm will to take on. I also plan to redo my price sheet and simplify it down to about 3 or 4 options that I know I can easily knock out instead of experimenting with random bullshit.
It's not that I want to stop making vore art (Believe me, I have SO MANY more ideas I really wish I had the time to make!) but I know it's what I have to do as I want to focus on making SFW content that I can actually put my name to and show in a portfolio.
And before you ask, I DO NOT plan to connect my SFW account to my "Mesa" account. I very much want the two as separated as possible (as I don't want anyone in my personal life to find out about the "Mesa" account).
But... knowing the internet, there's probably a good chance somebody is gonna figure out my SFW account, so if you happen to be that person, all I ask is you treat the SFW account like its own thing and not connect/talk about any of the vore art I've made. That would mean the world to me!
With that all being said, I do still have a handful of personal projects I would like to complete before the end of 2023, including making some content to sell on Gumroad to see if that's worth doing than just commissions. So if you wanna help out a Mint, please do check those out when I do make them!
But overall, that's about it. It's a long message, but if you're still reading; Thank You from the Bottom of My Heart!
It's been people like you in this community that have inspired me to push myself to become a better artist. People like you shown me that there are so many amazing peeps to be friends with (Albeit, very horny people XD). People like you have supported me and proven to me that I can make it as an artist, and by extension of this, you've led me down a path of happiness and joy pursuing a career that I've always dreamed of having. You guys are truely the best friends I've ever gotten to know!
What happens after 2023? I don't really know. I guess that depends on how well things go for me. But when I do figure out what my plans are past next year, I'll be sure to let you guys know.
Thanks again for reading this, and I truely hope you have a wonderful day.
Stay Safe out there guys!

I hope you can make something out of your dream and hey, what you learn, you can definitely use in the future. You could pull a Don Bluth and put in a vore scene here and there.

OP
Haha Maybe XD! Have no idea how or when I could pull off something like that.

It will of course need timing and put in as a scenario where the protagonist somehow gets out. Exploration is always a fun idea.
