Am I creeping you out?
16 years ago
So lately, I've been digitally painting pictures that are meant solely to serve as a vent for the fear, anger, and madness that comes with my condition.
They're not gory or shockers or anything, but at the same time, I have to admit they're probably a little creepy. And while I'm usually not one to coddle you people by posting nothing that would challenge you, this is a little far and away from the reasoning and inspiration behind all the rest of my art.
That said, I can't stop making this artwork. It's really therapeutic for me in ways that are very very important. Now, I don't have a problem posting it, but I don't want to surprise-bomb someone who expected something dirty or cute and got something disturbing. So tell me now: Should I create another account for this kind of work, or am I worrying over nothing? Your choice.

Okay, so it's pretty much unanimous, you guys don't care. Fair enough, I'll keep uploading this stuff.

Not as much as you, but I think I like having a varied gallery and am too lazy to make a separate account for that kind of stuff.
These pics wouldn't need a separate account I would think. It's not like they are some sort of major fetish thing that goes beyond what you have normally posted. If they are therapeutic for you to create and post, do it on this account. It's nothing to worry over.
On a personal note... every morning when I wake up, I wish I could go back to sleep instead of facing reality... and half the time, the dreams I so badly want to return to are FAR creepier than what you've shown us so far.
Also.. just keep it all one one account. You already post adult things here.... i don't see the problem with posting other material.
Besides I think some people don't even fullview stuff in their inboxes if it doesn't have blue or red borders.

While it is a bit strange to admit this, these pictures do concern me, even though we are just two strangers on the Internet. :-P But if it's therapeutic, I think you should continue, and you shouldn't feel like you have to hide them from people. As much as you may be watched for your art that is cute, erotic, or both, anyone who complains about how you've done something dark and personal instead of the Tailsko picture they wanted is being selfish and greedy.
Well, then you will be relieved to know that it's because of those drawings that I'm feeling better than ever. There are a lot of repressed emotions I've had that I didn't know what to do with, but this has helped me immensely. I'm starting to fantasize about murder a lot less, and that's a big positive step for me.
It's a little disorienting, I know, but with such dark, seemingly unexplained urges, it's good to be upfront. No secrets, no fear, right?
For ten bucks a pelt, I hunted coyotes and processed them for dog food and fur. But when the wardens recounted after a local population boom, my job was done.
I'd like to think people who don't care for them are able to just side-step around them instead of clicking on everything and going OMG when they find something they don't like.
What's one more account? I like this art. Keep it coming!
So draw what you wanna draw and if it scares people too much,you can always take it down.
Oh, wait, creep out. I always confuse that with arouse. Sorry about that.
Your Honor, let's recall something that this witness just said.
He mentioned that the defendant commits this crime every day at 3:32 PST.
But the defendant lives in Arizona, a state that doesn't subscribe to Daylight Savings Time.
So in reality, my client could've never kept the same schedule!

Now as far as the art goes. I`m a bit behind watching your posts. But I clicked on the links and found them very artistic! I would say as long as you still draw some cute stuff go to town with it especially if its therapeutic .Now if you had a gallery of exclusively such stuff I`d be a bit dissapointed but like I said its artistic. I`d probably still watch even then.
and now you have my opinion, I wish I was paid 2 cents
There's a lotta people on FA who keep their art art and porno art separate. it's kinda disappointing when they split.
(Unless it's for professional reasons- Read:Double life)
But you hurt nad feel, just like everyone else. D: why should we hate you for that?
That, and I'm a pretentious stubborn and preachy prick.
You are very, VERY worrying over nothing.
Didn't you have a rant a short time ago about how people shouldn't be ashamed to post different forms of art on their account, and how they shouldn't worry about what people may judge of them for it?
( I smell hypocrisy, and it smells like burnt ham...)
Sheesh, I thought you WEREN'T one of those overreacting, girly-girly gay guys... ;)
Yes, this is definitely a new twist for you, and some may indeed see this as quite creepy (especially if they take the time to really consider it), but it's still good art--it's still YOUR art.
You have taken a beautiful minimalist approach to an emotional concept and used it to create a scene reminiscent of all of our dreams. Some folks can't see the same details that I can in these pieces, and it's not because of any special artistic insight--It's just because I have better night-vision than most folks.
You've created a piece that utilizes light and shadow in a way that a person's natural ability to discern things in low-light can affect how they see it.
Awesome!!
And furthermore, "surprise-bomb" is a good thing. (Look at that Warhol whackjob)
If these pieces help you to express yourself, then keep making them. the people who matter are those who know how important these pieces can be.
(admittedly, I'd personally appreciate it if they had a "happy ending", but that's just because I'm a stickler for happy endings)
This is good work man, create what you want to create. We'll stick with you.
Long story short, I'm behind you all the way!
The only thing I would be concerned about is that it could attract people that leave comments that disturb You.
I have many picture of you and your characters ...but you never show that you wanted me ashamed ...
I say keep them coming, especially if they benefit your well-being as well!
