Removed all of my art
8 years ago
Hey guys, it's been a while right ?
So uhm, yeah this is a bit suddent, but I decided to delete all of my art here.
There are a few reasons for this, and you might find them stupid, but heh...
So first reason is because, as you could see I am no longer active here.
This is mostly because as I explained in my journal "Leaving FurAffinity", I don't feel at my place here. I am mostly a SFW artist, and even if I absolutly don't mind NSFW (I actually kinda like it), I just don't feel like drawing it. I mean, I do a few NSFW piece, but if it is not personal art, it makes me uncomfortable (like YCH or commissions). And sadly I feel like this place is mostly full of people who wants/does NSFW. I know it's a pretty "negative" point of view, but this really how I feel about this website.
I do not judge or anything ! I mean, eveybody does what they want with their money and art skills, I don't care if you like to have your character having a lot of sex partners lol, I mean, just do what you wish, I am not your parent at all.
Same for fetish, I don't care wich ones you like. I have a lot of friends who have some, and I might have one or two, so yeah.
But again, this is not my cup of tea, and I don't feel like doing it all of the time. And since I am a sh*tty shy guy, I won't even tell you that what you are asking me to do make me uncomfortable.
Then, second reason, which is maybe the one that really made me want to delete everything is that, I found several artwork of mine being reposted on Facebook.
A few days ago, my godfather told me he found few of my drawings on Facebook but he wasn't so sure if I did post them. So I checked and saw a few furry group reposting art of my fursona. Not even art like commissions or things I did for them, it was personal art.
So now I am serious. I am extremly strict with whatever concern my art and I am really protective thowards it.
I know this mind sounds abusive and over reactive, but I am really serious. I absolutly HATE when my art is reposted. No matter what kind of things, it could art I did for you, or personal art (which really pisses me off when I see people reposting it). But when it's art you paid for, or anything, even if I am not 100% ok with you reposting it, I don't mind. As long as you use it for personal use and do not claim it as your own by giving proper credit, I am kinda ok with it.
However, it is completly forbidden to repost art I made for myself ! Such as art of my fursona or things like that.
Again, you'll tell me I am over reacting + the people I see reposting my art actually gave me credits.
But this is where it will sound ridiculous, but is actually pretty serious.
I have a very low self-esteem, and mostly thowards my art.
You'll tell me "but lots of artists are like that, why is it a problem ?". Welp... I saw the reposted art got way more interest that the original posts... And this really made me feel bad.
This is completly stupid, but I felt like sh*t for three days because of that.
So yeah, if you follow me on other websites such as Tumblr or DeviantART, do NOT repost my art unless you asked me first.
I really hate to see my art going around the internet when it is not the original post. This is not pleasant at all.
Anyway, I really don't know if I will ever be back here. Again I really don't feel to be at my place here.
If you need to contact me, just send me a message on my DeviantART or on my Tumblr (both username are princeiess)
Thank you a lot for understanding, and sorry for the rand/vent journal.
Hope to see you soon.
Please stay safe, and thank you a lot for the support.
