*MAYBE* NO MORE FAT/MACRO ART
8 years ago
It has just come to the point where it only feels like a chore rather than something just for fun. What I mean is that I feel that I'm avoiding trying to grow and evolve into the creator I desire to be on the long run. And art is already part of my ideal welfare. If you stilll don't know what I mean, basically what I'm saying is that majority of my followers here only wish to see art that turns them on. And yes I did address the elephant in the room and I apologize if going to that extent has offended some of you. For a long time I wanted to avoid bringing this up because I feel like an asshole for taking away the thing everyone desires to see, which is fetish art. You might be sayin, "this is FA, of course people want to see pornagraphic art pieces most of the time". Of course I'm aware of that. It just sucks that not many of you, (not you specifically) don't wish to see what else I could do and what kind of art I wish to present in the real world. The obvious answer would just be something like, "then leave FA you idiot, go to a place where it isn't always cartoon animals all the time." But the thing is I ironically get more income for doing fetish work than work I conventionally do in my spare time. This may be selfish of me to say that no doubt, but right now I don't really mind. I'm not trying to discourage you guys from not commissioning me for fetish artwork (honestly that would be nice though) I just want to simply address my current view towards this. Because in the end I guess it's all about getting as much money as possible right?
Disclaimer: this is no intent on bashing on those who do request fat fur art from me, and i apologize in advance if that's what it seemed like to you. This is just a rant in hopes of people gaining more perspective on my current state of mind.

Fat and Macro art are things I care little for.
I'll look at stuff like that, but not if its porn... its gross when its porn for me.
I guess I'm just not into most types of porn maybe?
Anyways, it'd be a shame if you completely abandon making various forms of art out of frustration.
But it would be a bigger shame if your forced to make art you don't like making and/or care for at all.
Please do what you deem necessary, stop making what worries you the most, and continue making only that which your okay with.
If anyone complains your not making specific forms of art, ignore them. Don't worry about it.
The odd thing is that I never considered you a 'fetish' artist and, in fact, was surprised that you drew that. I always imagined you to be a characters builder and setting builder. Whatever 'fetish' art you drew was just fun stuff, to me.
...then again, I am of this. While I like some 'fetishes', I am more focused in making stories and characters, too. My only difference is the art skill and my more-relaxed disposition towards 'fetish' art.
I've actually noticed a few artists who are have voiced their opinions about wanting to not draw fat and/or macro art anymore. I have to wonder if there's a general community attitude about being entitled to what art we want to see and using our money to enforce our desires. Some artists will draw what people are paying them for because it pays the bills. Other artists may not be making their primary income off art and can literally afford to tell people "whatever, whatever, I do what I want!" It gets to a moral crossroads where an artist often has to choose money or control over the content they produce. Not a fun situation to be in!
Going by the above comments, it sounds like a lot of your more vocal fans are very understanding and it's great to see that. I agree an artist should draw what they want. People change, they may enjoy drawing fatties at first and then it becomes a chore and an obligation later. Take a break and focus on your own art. If people want to pay for what you WANT to draw, it's a win-win.
