Mentioned this on Twitter a few days ago, but my Tumblr accounts been terminated. I’ve heard horror stories about how ass tumblr is for nsfw artists, but I was hoping it’d last longer than that. Guess I’ll update you guys when I make a new one. Remember, Twitter @ ToHDraws is the best way to keep up with my work, I upload and update a lot more there than here.
I've decided to not take anymore new commissions until further notice. If you're already on the list I will still be taking yours when it's your turn, but please note it could take a bit longer, I'm working on these slowly around my other projects. Thank you for your patience.
A big reason why I'm cutting off new comms is because I've realized I can't make a livable income off commissions alone. Thus I've made the decision to focus most of my efforts on comics and animations for Patreon in the hopes I can get it supported to the point of actually living off that income. I'm basically living off the remaining funds in my bank account right now, so the goal is to get my Patreon expanded by the end of the year. If I can't do it by then, I'll have to figure out some other plan for life.
Currently on Patreon I upload a comic page every 2 weeks, 1-2 animations a month, WIP's of everything, and take a picture request from patrons every week. If that sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, then please consider supporting; you guys are what allows me to keep creating and I'll always appreciate that!

Blame it on irresponsible parents letting their children browse Internet without restrictions, and then blaming said websites for "scarring their children" or letting them see something they should have no access to.
In Tumblr's case however, as I mentioned below it's a case of their owner company's CEO being notoriously against pornography and NSFW content of any kind, who tried to make a spectacle of them purging NSFW content from Tumblr when they bought it. However since people massively opposed this decision, they instead decided to go for a more subtle approach (random account deletions, staff outright refusing to reply to NSFW account owners regarding issues, filters which "accidentally" turn themselves on or off, being excluded from Google search results, hidden from the dashboard etc.)
