I'm highkey giddy and wanna say;
5 years ago
I just want to seriously thank everyone for the serious rad support lately. Just some months ago I was terribly worried about changing my content type to something I found real enjoyment out of. I vented to you all and worried that me focusing more on stuff I liked, would result in a huge jumping ship type of movement. Especially because it meant like 99% of my NSFW was shut down unless it was personal stuff or for fun. It turned out a lot different than I expected though!
Even though I am doing less of the old stuff I did (I still do most of it, besides the NSFW, but just not as often) I'm noticing I'm getting more feedback and interaction than I ever did before. My SFW stuff is now doing better than my NSFW and... idk that's pretty awesome to me!
I kinda assumed I'd just deal with it all being low afterward and just kinda settled on that idea so I could draw what I enjoyed most.
Thank you all so much for following me through this journey. It's going way beyond what I expected and I'm glad I didn't end up letting people down with the shift.
I'm also glad my variety isn't throwing too many people off. I can tell it is some, but it doesn't seem to be any type of negative effect like I thought it would have. I like being able to draw many things, over just one thing. (Example, Loa, humans, monsters, occasional typical furry-esque character, quads, fantasy dinosaurs and the new paleoart I am trying to get into hard)
Thanks so much for sticking with me even when there might be a streak of something else content-wise, then it going back and forth.
It all depends on my mood!
I feel a lot less weight on my shoulders knowing I don't have to at least get the same thing over and over out there several times a week. My art block is dissipating so much faster now, and though I'm not 100% free, this was a /several year art block/ so that is a huge plus for me!
I also love having a very diverse group of followers. I know some prefer some types of my work over others, but I just dig hearing from the different types of people's feedback so much.
Speaking of feedback! WOW it's been fantastic! Especially on my new paleoart journey! I read every comment and they make me honestly giddy. It makes me excited to work on the next piece and I mean that so hard. I'm already working on the next now, just taking a break to write this.
I thought my paleoart would bore people to tears. I was like okay with getting 0 comments and maybe a dozen faves, but the response is nothing like I thought. Thank you! It's so exciting to know people also like the things I nerd hard out over.
Okay, end of rambling, I'll just go on forever.
The point was me just thanking everyone so dang much. ;v;
it was kinda a breath of fresh air from the rest of FA. On the note of your art I am very excited about seeing more human
art, maybe one day we could do a trade! Id love to see Fenyx in your style and would love to draw for you again!
This concept seem so much of a given to me. ALL artist should make the things they love. To me, it's mind boggling that you would do otherwise. You build a following around what YOU make. Its always been about what the artist wants and if other viewers like what they make.
I USED to really enjoy it. But now drawing those subjects feels almost agonizing no matter how long of breaks I took. So it was a short lived enjoyment.
Look, obviously a lot of us like our lewds, but after a while, it starts getting repetitive. The dinosaur-loving child in me gets seriously excited (I have squeed out loud; it’s embarrassing) when dinos and generally nifty art pops up.
(I swear I will catch one of your adopts some day...)
