Moving Bulk of Work to DeviantArt
13 years ago
I just got to get up and start moving and never stop until progress succeeds. Life is not about finding myself, I have to create myself.

I've decided that I will be moving the bulk of my work to deviantart.
Originally, I had a much lengthier explanation then this, but because my finger slipped and I somehow closed the tab before I was able to finish this journal, I have to make an abridged version to why I'm leaving
I think drawing porn is a cop out. I can't submit myself so easily to it like most artist, because I feel I'm under cutting my talent. In all honestly, I think as an artist I'm more of a puritan then I like to believe. Which is funny because i'm a constant sexual person. I constantly think about sex and watch porn, just not enough to be a porn artist.
I am leaving because, this is not a popular mode of thought in FA or IB. I simply can not give these audiences what they want and i feel I have a better time on a much more cleaner site like DeviantArt.
Unless, I can view sex more then its basic steps. Unless I can view sex the way I view other such expressions I have. If i can view sex as an expression itself, I simply can't push myself into it.
I will not leave completely. I simply will be most active in a place thats more suited to my audience.
I realized as I watch my peers, I'm nothing like them. I never completely approached my work with sexual glee like they do. I can't produce in such a way. I've always been keen on creating work that makes an impression on my audience. But, I just don't see porn at the outlet.
The things I draw, the ideas I create. The characters I make, are simply more then objects. Something beautifully creative with emotion and a soul. I like to express sex in a playful way, but when I got even deeper, i can't bring myself to it.
Ozzy as a character, he himself has always been something more to me. So I can't put him into any role where he's bleekly underused and objectified for the sake of views and watches. Its crazy, because when I tell the people close to me that I will draw porn for money, I almost always feel so bad for saying that. Even as they encourage me, I an get the feeling of, wow, so he's given up or sold out.
I can't shake it. Drawing porn for me is the same as just sitting around inside my comfort zone. I'm not expressing anything more then sexual arrousal.
Unless, in the future this changes. Maybe I become a part of some sexual revolution. Unless someone can show me there's more to it, that I can really express myself with it, I have to leave.
As such, I want to say, I'm sorry to all that I could not deliver what you wanted. But i'm happy you all atleast appreciated my work. Is this permanent? I don't know, but Its just something I feel I'll have to do. I'm simply catering to the wrong audience.
It'll be harder for me being a "furry artist", but I guess I'll find a way. I will not be leaving entirely, but the bulk of my work will go to DA.

My name's Pako, I should show up as being from "Málaga"
Yours isn't really "Nyeh~", is it? :V
Or... you can just stay and draw whatever the hell you want, and not give a rat's ass who you're trying to impress with your art and just draw art for art's sake and your own.
Someone wants me to draw porn? Sure whatever, good practice. As long as I get to draw my own thing from time to time.
If you don't want to draw smut, then simply don't. I dont get why you have to leave FA because of it. Is it because you think DA will appreciate your art more? GUESS WHAT, it's about the same as here minus the desperation for porn.
Draw for yourself and for self improvement, not for people's expectations of you.
G'day.
