Probably going to dial back on drawing for a bit
5 years ago
Okay, so I needed to write this journal in order to make you all aware of what's going to happen in the coming months.
First, gotta make sure you know that I'm not quitting. Some people might assume that, and if you don't, then awesome! But I needed to make sure you were aware of the fact that I'm going to be dialing back on my drawing after I get my current lineup finished. I have about two dozen pictures I'm drawing for various people, and these will be finished, but after that's done I'm going to focus on another passion of mine, which is model-making. I've been really into that since I was a little kid, and now I'm really hitting my stride as a modelmaker. I've built models that people have said looked like the real thing, like the following:

Now, I'm not simply focusing on modeling. I'm going to be starting a web-series about it on YouTube! I'll be going over my processes for making them, as well as doing things like drawing concept art for ones that are original creations. My show will also include a semi-regular series called "Junkyard Rescue" where I take old models I'd started but never finished and complete them. It's something I've been wanting to start for a long time, and I think the time is right for that. Plus I'll be opening up a Patreon page so that people who like my show can contribute, and hopefully that will allow me to eventually support myself independent of a regular job in a couple of years.
Does that mean drawing will take a back seat? Probably, at first. After all, models are much more intensive than drawings to finish and require more time to invest in making them, and figuring out the schedule for shooting and editing will take a while. However, after that's all nulled out and I've settled into a routine for it, I think I'll start drawing again. Probably not commissioned works, though. Commissions are the number one thing that burn me out and make drawing unenjoyable for me. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the opportunity to draw for you all, and it makes me feel absolutely wonderful to know you want my work so badly that you'd be willing to pay me money to make it happen! But the steam does run out after a while and I end up just dreading drawing if I keep drawing for others instead of myself. So after the current lineup is complete, commissions will be closed indefinitely. Not permanently, but definitely for the foreseeable future. I just don't want to burn out completely and end up losing all drive to pick up a pencil like I've done in the past.
Bottom line though is that modeling is my favorite passion. I never have taken a break from it to recuperate like I do with drawing, and I find that it really gets my creative juices flowing in a way drawing simply doesn't do.
I really hope you guys understand... it's not my wish to make you all lose faith in me or get upset in any way. I'm just wanting to ensure that I don't ever lose my drive to draw diapers and ABDL-themed art, and this will be best in the long run for ensuring I never stop completely.
