Art Updates and Big Changes
7 years ago
General
Hey guys!
I’m sure it’s obvious that over the past year I’ve been taking less and less commissions and posting less and less art due to trying to focus on schoolwork as well as wanting to enjoy life and attend cons as often as I can afford ^^ I sincerely apologize for the lack of posts and art updates in general and I do want to change that! Though, I have to be honest and admit I’ve got a following from the wrong audience. As much as I enjoy how many people support and are willing to pay generously for my art, it’s always for very fetishized works. I know I always say I don’t mind because it pays but sometimes it’s too much for me? I just don’t always ENJOY drawing it and sometimes it’s literally draining to draw, but that is what majority of people want from me... :x I want to change that without disappointing you guys and those who follow for that kind of art, but it’s hard drawing the same fetish, tf, etc all the time and I feel that I don’t have room for improvement by doing it. This is why I had a long break and popped out with these experimental-personal artworks and posters every now and then. Just me trying to improve and learn. I need a better portfolio, something I will actually be proud of and I hope you guys can understand and help me out over here!
Any advice from fellow artists or input from my usual commissioners?
I’m thinking about making a list of stuff I would like to offer Commission-wise if that’s be useful for everyone :o

Whichever direction you take, you know I'll always support and care for you! I do want to see you succeed, and grow as an artist, and a person, I know I've personally seen you grow over the years and I'm so proud of your progress so far. Seriously, keep up the great work! <3
I will say I absolutely throw in my approval for a "will draw / won't draw" list, many artists do, and some of their tastes change over time, I know some artist friends who drew and was known for certain things, dropped it, made it clear they wished not to draw it as much/anymore, and just went from there. So if you feel like you're pegged into specific ideas that are REALLY not your taste... I wholly recommend this option. The reasonable commissioners/supporters will absolutely understand, and the ones that don't? you don't need 'em in your life anyway~. I hope this advice has helped! I'm very curious on your ideas and directions you wish to take! :3
