Hi again,
First of all, I wanna thank everyone who read my last journal and shared some advice or even just nice words, I really appreciate y'all <3 I also wanna thank everyone who's purchased a slot of my last YCH, I'm seriously so grateful for how successful it was! I can now focus more on myself and my art and not worry so much about finances, you guys are life savers.
Now onto the news. I've been doing a lot of thinking ever since I came home from anthrocon, but more so after that last journal, and I came to the conclusion that I'm not proud of what I've been doing. As time went by and my art started to change and my audience started to grow, I eventually let myself stray too far from the kind of content I actually enjoy drawing, especially the kind of vore content I enjoy. I wanted to experiment and try expanding my horizons so I could please more people and not just draw the same thing over and over, but... I don't know how to explain this, but I forgot how to go back to what /I/ actually like. I lost interest in my own art and the subjects of it, and it took me so long to realize it that now I don't even know what I wanna draw anymore. I've been drawing for people and for money only, and as much as I had fun doing the stuff I did, in the end I'm just not proud of it anymore. It came to a point where I don't even show my art to anyone anymore bc I'm embarrassed of it and I have nothing "clean" to show. I love vore and I'm extremely grateful to this community for my success and growth up to this point, but I feel necessary to start cutting back and changing some stuff.
For starters, I've shoved most of my gallery into scraps (don't worry, nothing's gone!), except for a very selected few. From now on, I'll be a lot more selective on commission subjects and themes, I would really like to have more "clean" work in my gallery and make it more "accepted" by the general public. I've been doing furry commissions for like 10 years now and only recently became known as a vore artist. I kinda wanna go back to what it used to be. I still wanna draw vore, but less often and more tame. I would rather refrain from same-size vore and excessively large and bumpy bellies, with only a few exceptions every now and then when I feel like. As for new themes, I honestly have no idea what I wanna do. I'm still gonna take some time off of doing commissions so I can find myself again, then maybe come back with some YCHs or something. I wanna find my inspiration for making art again. It might take a while, so I apologize in advance if I don't post anything for a while. I know I still owe some commissions, these people have been incredibly patient with me and I'm very thankful. I'll still try my best to get y'all's art done soon.
For now, I think that's all I wanted to say. I'm sorry if this is disappointing to anyone, I understand. I just wanna make it clear that what I'm feeling is no one's fault but my own, and that I don't regret anything. I seriously did have fun drawing the things I did, but I need to do something different now, for the sake of my own mental health. And sorry if I'm making this whole thing overly dramatic, that's just how I say things sjfgdslg
Thank you guys for everything. For your support, your patience, for buying my art, believing in me, and for sticking with me. <3 I owe you all so much. I wanna do more and do better.
Take care!

Sometimes all we need is a fresh start so I wish you the best of luck on it~
I know how worrying about money can make it hard for you at times like these but I'm glad them YCHs helped with that for a while.
So yeah! Try out a nice change of pace and I'm sure you'll eventually find your motivation again, buddy!
Can't wait to see ya post more cute stuff in the future, and I'm greatly looking forward to getting more (clean!) art from you when I can afford it again..That night scene you did for me and my BF is still one of my favorite pieces of art ever <3
And yeah, it's still in my wallpaper rotation and it's just wonderful, makes me smile every time I see it.
Plus it sounds like the themes you want to return to are way more my taste anyway so its a win-win here!
Cant wait to see what you create!
