No Aryion/Eka's Portal anymore...?
6 years ago
Ok guys, first of all I'd like to thank everyone who joined my poll on my Telegram Channel and gave me all the information I needed, which I've been trying to gather for a long time.
Why am I posting this journal?
I have been on Aryion/Eka's Portal for more than a year; I haven't been the most active person (I'm quite reserved).
Despite personal problems FyreDraygg (mostly) and I had with the owner and other users, I have been thinking to close my account for a long time.
Why?
Well, this will take a while to explain.
I am slowly realizing what I really wanna draw, what I want my specialty to be.
I've never liked vore (in the strict meaning of the term), I just hang around possibly non-cringy communities when I can because I like the "eating people" narrative trope.
I like telling something with my illustrations; it might be a story, a relationship between two characters or how they interact.
As you might have noticed, I'd much rather draw mawshots and other oral fixation material than ingestion and inside views (despite the contents of my gallery suggesting otherwise: it's actually because of requests and commissions which were mostly about ingestion and internals).
Most of what I like to draw are positive interactions with themes like cuddles, love and protection.
I don't like drawing "vore" for "vore"'s sake.
I'm not into the fetish side of it (again, the proper meaning of the "vore" term) and as such I don't enjoy its sexual connotation. Since it is, however, a simple narrative trope at its core, I still like to play with some very similar and related concepts which, sadly, lack a proper term describing them and this is where much of the confusion arises.
It's also very hard to explain this matter in a serious discussion because you always run the risk of getting caught in the crossfire between the cringy bigots who paint vore as a satanic sin and the vore fanatics who try to force you to admit that you like it sexually just like them, but are too shy to admit it.
[^^ This "rant" is both mine and FyreDraygg's ^^]
What I truly enjoy drawing are cute characters being in each other's mouth for positive purposes.
What I still like to draw are characters eating each other as protection, as a play on words or part of a story.
Characters eating each other just for the sake of it, without any reason, any plot significance, any true purpose or plausibility, just to enact and embody someone's sexual fantasies is not what I want to do.
I'm not against any possible form of enjoyment of my art. If someone wishes to enjoy it as fuel for their fetishes, they are welcome to do so. What I'm saying is that my artwork is never born with that specific purpose: it always has other primary functions and purposes and whether or not it is enjoyable from a "vore perspective" is an entirely collateral attribute.
That being said, Aryion/Eka's Portal isn't a place where I am comfortable sharing my artworks anymore.
I waited for such a long time because I thought more people were using Aryion/Eka's Portal as their only gallery, but well... I realized the site is actually dying and hosts only a minimal fraction of people. Plus, as far as I know, the bulk of the communities are now on FurAffinity and DeviantArt.
So, that's all! I am going to leave the page to keep the nickname, but it won't be active anymore.
I need to thank FyreDraygg for his incredible ability to translate my thoughts into words with immesurable accuracy and grammatically correct sentences.>>> You can also find me HERE! <<<
