Emotional Rant by Blizzie

9 years ago General

So, this medication is doing the exact opposite of what they told me it was going to do. I haven't hardly slept at all... I'm an emotional wreck....
I'm really wanted to stop drawing porn and vore all together, because it's getting boring and repetitive and it kinda makes me want to shoot myself in the foot because it's all starting to look like a slobbery oragy of a mess and the sad part is... if I take a break from porn and vore... I'll basically starve becasue I won't make any money what so ever... so.... it's a lose lose for me... I have two choices, continue going down a path of repeated commissions and slip into madness or live on the street...

Thank you to all my watchers!

I am very sorry to hear about this. I will admit some selfish interest since I really do love your art but nobody should be in a position where they feel bad about things.

To make things a bit less repetitive, maybe mix things up a bit in terms of poses while still keeping things in the realm of what any given commissioner asks for?

I'm not asking anyone to change their current commissions.... I think I'm just going to open up themed commissions for a while. Skulie had a good idea.

That's a nice idea.

Plus also get some non-usual ideas, maybe even offer a small discount just to incentivize people to cook up something new.

I think that's a good idea. Don't get burned out! You're too awesome an artist to lose to burnination!

Yeah, I was going to suggest this. Either some YCHs or else give a topic or idea and ask people to work within that. Your art is of a high enough quality that I'm sure any topic you provide will have some takers. I don't think any of us want you to be feeling like you currently are!

I'm glad to have been of some sort of help.

Perhaps offer a discount or deal for commissions not involving such topics? Like characters in Halloween outfits just as a suggestion.

Your images are always a treat to see and I don't mean that just because of the adult themes and situations. It would be a shame to see an end to your work.

YCHs are also a fun option to try :0

As far as I see of your art style, you have a lot more potential than you imagine. Is true you have done vore and porn mostly but you can try new things like, making your characters appear in regular situations: Watching tv, study, walking etc.

The money stuff is hard for sure (i'm a writer and i can not even afford to make comissions here on FA because i dunno how to put a prize to my work sadly) but there is no need in only center here on the fandom, I'm pretty sure you may do a great job as an illustrator :)

I don't know if it helps or not but I mean I think you do great work, love your porn but maybe you can take a small break or cut back on them some? Should have to do something you got no passion for but I got about 3 nonporn/rl based pixs I'd like to get done if your up for it and when I got the $.
All are going to be 1 char but the background going to be kind of big

I dunno what to say :( Maybe some helpful advice, which I heard aided other artists: Try to combine drawing commissions with drawing more of what you enjoy, to the best extent possible.

Aww... I want to help, but I can't afford a commission. Maybe you could run some auctions for art that isn't vore or porn? Like, a beach shot or a beauty contest scene, to bring diversity and get out of the repeating art?

I really hope the medication works it self out soon or you might have to have to see the doctor to have it changed.

If you feel like it is going to be a chore, perhaps it is time to occasionally switch to a different theme through YCHs or promotions to help attract other types of commissions to help spice up your gallery.

Hey life is struggle sometimes there are periods of good and sometimes there are periods of bad, just persevere and don't fall into depression. I'm religious so I'll pray for you if you'd like.

-offers hugs- I hope that your medication helps you soon. If I was able to I'd definitely commission an SFW piece from you. You're such a wonderful artist, person and friend. I hope that things get better for you soon.

Hope you feel better Blizzie. Sleep deprivation can be pretty harrowing.

In the end you got to go with what you will enjoy as an artist, cause if you don't enjoy your work it will just hit you like a weight.

Though not changing my commission since it is a gift for a friend, ill make sure to come back for a more sfw thing once i got more money again

drugs are like that sometimes. I just got put on something for pre-diabetes and it's clashing with all my neck up meds. IT's making me shaky, screwing with my perceptions and making me really crabby on occasion. I was in an ideal spot with my head meds, It took me a while to find the right cocktail as it were. The effects vary so much from person to person, it does take time. but there's hope. I hope they can get you dialed in soon. God bless

I'm so sorry to hear you are going through such hard times And hope that a change of medics iron or something along those lines can help.. and on the themed commission idea it is a really good one, just think on what you'd prefer to draw or crowd source some none vore/sexual themes. There are countless ones I'm sure us watchers would love to see in your style. Hopefully that helps break up the tedium and helps you enjoy your work again ^_^

somehow i knew this would happen...
try to draw different stuff, try to find commission partners that want some new things. exclude thigns you don't want to draw for a while, the money will not be huge at first but you will find new watchers for other fetishes too. also offer fun stuff you choose what you do like ych. maybe that helps

I certainly hope all is well. Be safe and keep a level head.

I'm sorry to hear that things aren't going well. Medications can be really stupid sometimes, and the stress from your situation is definitely not helping either.
I can't really offer any useful input, but I sincerely hope that things improve for you.

Perhaps there's another niche market you could practice a couple pieces of and advertise that, to get out of porn/vore? A lot of them are "fetish" but not blatantly adult, like paw stuff or transformation stuff? I've also seen some artists have success auctioning a few custom drawn character designs.

I'm sorry to hear you're having such a rough time. I hope things start looking up for you!

Oh, well I didn't know you don't like doing those kinds of work. I shouldn't order any then.
