Why we don't do underage anymore

General
We felt we needed to get this out of our chests.
Back in the day DK and Jery from Softpaw were crazy darlings for giving us a chance, one with colours, the other with drawings. We had a blast really, and never thought we could be hurting anyone because to us, and we're not even going down the morale road and what laws exist in every country, we were simply drawing characters, not making real flesh babies to sell out to the porn industry. We didn't care at all, we were just drawing.
This turns out, gave us our first taste of recognition and people reacted really nice. We never EVER had anyone complain directly to us about doing underage.
But laws changed a lot since then, the public and world too and it got us thinking.
We honestly and totally believe that for example, people want to see Pokemon sexy arts and such others mostly for wanting those characters having such interactions and not because they are kids.
But we realized that such things always end up luring in the bad and negative because that's how things are. We know we can't fight that but the idea of real sex offenders owning pics by us because it's underage is unsettling.
So that's why we stopped all together and we're not going back. We know for a fact that other artists with whom we collaborate are like us, doing work for the sake of work and in no way we condemn those who like to see a younger character but the risk of being misinterpreted is too great.
Well that's it. Finally out of our systems.
