*IMPORTANT UPDATE* LEAVING FA/NSFW ART
Posted 8 years agoHey everyone!
First of all, I'd like to thank everyone's love and support you've had for me on this account.
For all the likes, favorites, comments and shout outs, I really appreciate everything and really glad I could make a few friends on here,
even if my time here has been short lived. I really can't express enough how I've enjoyed getting all the feedback on my OCs and monster art
and wish it hadn't come down to this.
For those of you that don't know, recent news and information has come to light about a former friend of mine, Kalematsuba.
I don't want to go into to much detail, just because I've already seen to much ugliness, but basically it's been proven that he use to and
enjoyed drawing child porn of underage characters, both for monetary gain and for himself. He has been for many years, at least as late as 2012,
and was involved with that community on tumblr.
You can find more info here: *PLEASE BE CAREFUL, THERE ARE SOME VERY TRIGGERING AND SENSITIVE IMAGES, CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK*Link here
...I know that some of you will form your own opinion about this, if you haven't already but please, I implore you to read through wordbending's posts (and others, there are a few that have more evidence and talk about why he shouldn't be defended) and those that are talking about it on twitter before you do. Please, reconsider supporting or following his art. What Kale has done is not normal or right. He's made several apologies about his past work, laced with excuses and whys, but all have been proven to be false. He's been doing this for YEARS, since at least as late as 2012, some he did without being paid. And there have been chat posts found of him admitting he's stalked a 13 year old boy when he was 17 years old and encouraging minors in his group chats that what he does is ok. This is not ok. Drawing porn of underage characters is not ok!
I am a csa survior. I was abused when I was very young and had to live with my abuser till I was in my early 20s. I am also a trans man who just recently started my own journey to be who I am a few years ago. But this, seeing this, who he really is, it has effected badly me. Enough knowing that someone I was intimate with (we were for a short time and after he had already hidden/deleted his past), was capable of this, has made me relive my trauma and painful memories of my abuse. It has wrecked me both physically, emotionally and mentally and I can't even look at NSFW art anymore without cringing, even my own.
I need a break.
So that's what I'm doing. I'm deleting all my NSFW content for now, until I feel comfortable again drawing and viewing it. I promise this isn't a goodbye.
I hope one day I can come back here again. :) and I do want to say, I still want to draw NSFW art. I still love sexy monsters and aliens and exploring my sexuality
through drawing couples of both. But this has all become too much for now and I need to give myself time to heal. This does not mean I'm not drawing art anymore, though. I'll still post content on my other blogs, just not anything too NSFW or porn.
And, hey if you don't believe me or don't care, that's fine. I'm slowly trying to make peace with what's he's done. But even if posting about this helps at least one person avoid something that is truly ugly and horrible and keeps them safe, I'll be happy and have done the right thing.
But I'm not comfortable or safe right now.
So again, I am sorry, but I have to do this. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here, in this community and hey maybe you'll see me around again someday, posting cute demons and monsters making love to one another.
but for now, I wish you all well and the warmest goodbyes! <3
Stay safe, loves~

Another UPDATE! Computer crashed! @A@;;;;
Posted 9 years agoHey guys!
I wanted to first of all. say thank you, to all those who have been waiting for their commissions!
Several days ago, my computers power supply went kaput and I couldn't do anything until we ordered a new one.
I just arrived today and I was able to install it without a problem.
I've got a few cuts on my hand from pulling out cords and trying to figure out where certain ones went, but it was well worth it!
Old Herbert 2.0 is back up and running again. Now I can get back to work!
So I should have my last few commissions done in a couple of days!
Thanks again everyone for being so patient and I hope all of you are having a great and fun filled day!
