I'm losing my taste for drawing Scat
5 years ago
Ok, I guess I should probably just make a journal about this since it's kind of becoming a... problem, I guess.
I haven't been in the mood to draw scat as part of commissions for... I dunno... a long time. Maybe it's lingering bitterness because I feel like I've been typecast as a scat artist, or something, but even ideas that I find 1000% hot just don't appeal to me as commissions. I'm not calling anyone out or anything, and I'm honestly flattered that so many people like the way I draw it, but I dunno... I just don't want to right now.
And I don't know when, if, I'll want to do it again.
Sorry if that disappoints anyone, but... I dunno.
Weh.

I feel like I scare people off because I didn't segregate my accounts into Non-Scat and Scat. But it's well beyond too late for that.
but yeah, i also got people tell me they dont commission me cause they figure I wont do vanilla or non scat work.
guess i cant blame them. you can always try creating an alt account to keep the weird works from the more vanilla ones? i dunno, thats what I'm considering doing actually
Even if it's... permanent.
Do what makes you happy, man. I still love your stuff.
don't worry, give it a break and see if the interest comes back!^^
I can also attest to a lot of scat fans being admittedly very quick to commission it, simply cause there aren't many artists who draw it as well as you. I've gotten my fair share of them too and I dont even post the scat pieces that get commissioned anymore simply cause its not the #1 thing people want out of my work so I keep losing followers cause of it.
all in all, I think you should do you more than anything and share the love with commissioners who follow your needs as much as theirs ^^
My husband and I would still love to take you out for a beer sometime ^.^
And yeah, I had the exact same problem. I didn't mention it in the journal, but I've definitely heard of people who didn't want to commission me because they were worried I'd turn their idea down for being too normal.
I Had the same Situation a few times, people are afraid sometimes i'll Turn their chars into a pile of dicks or so.
Also I 100% understand what you mean about still liking it but not commissioned. I got stuck doing the same thing but with tf art. All people wanted was the same generic idea. It got so bad I just said no more, especially since people thought the only thing I would draw was tf art. I still like it and draw it, but I don't do tf commissions anymore. It's helped me lots and maybe it will help you!
I've never thought of you as simply a scat artist, though. You do your TTRPG work with Kah and the rest of the FAPP team, and beyond that, you have an excellent SFW portfolio. You have fascinating and wonderful ideas in your own right, and create some really, really cool stuff.
But you do you Min. *hugs*
Personally I was never here for the scat anywho! You do a lot of interesting concepts and situations that are all together super neat across the board
I love your scat art but if you don't want to draw it, temporarily or permanently, I don't want to see you draw it. I'd rather there be less of a thing I like than have artists drawing it when they don't want to, and I'd like to think that most people feel the same way.
Your art is excellent, regardless of the subject! You're extremely talented and have been for a long long time! I look forward to seeing whatever is next in the pipeline regardless of content.
