Moving to DeviantArt+Rant
Posted 5 years agoFor those of you who didn't notice, I posted another artwork series last week that got taken down for involving a minor in a sexual context which got me suspended for one week. Let's get one thing straight here, this is a fetish website. People come onto this site to either find fetish art they are interested in or produce it themselves. I doubt that anybody comes to FA to upload their 'normal' art which could easily be posted on much larger websites like DA. That being said, I don't grasp the ridiculous level of censorship on this site. Because let's be honest here, FA is not a holy palace, it's a place for fetish art and degenerates. Not a single soul comes onto this site expecting ordinary high-quality art.
The rule that minor characters can't be used in fetish art is a completely inconsequential rule. Just take a good look around you, most of the fetish artists on this site violate this supposed rule, yet nothing is being done. And I'm not saying they should be punished for this because again, this is a fetish site. If the staff really cared about fully embracing this rule, they would purge most of the Sonic The Hedgehog art on this site since most characters in that franchise are minors. For instance, you therefore shouldn't be allowed to post anything involving Tails in a sexually seductive context. Yet, people can freely do so, which is a good thing. I'm a very liberal person when it comes to any sort of freedom, whether its freedom of speech or artist freedom. I've always been against censorship because it's a weapon to suppress other people's freedom rights.
That was the final straw for me to finally quit using this site. If the staff is more concerned about making this site more appealing to outsiders rather than focus on their loyal users so be it. Nobody who uses a site like FA demands more censorship, the people who come here do so because they can't post their art on larger and stricter websites. I can't support a site that pretends to be something serious like a holy land in which high standards have to be maintained when in reality it's just for people with perversions. Which again, is completely normal to have. I'm in no position to judge other people's fetishes considering my own.
And let's be honest, this website, even without the censorship, is god awful. If you are a creator or a frequent user you know what I'm talking about. The extremely annoying process of uploading artworks with a resolution above 1280x720, the constant web crashes when going one page backwards, the lack of a search feature on user's galleries etc. This site has hardly improved over the past few years. The only improvement is the security which isn't saying much considering how it's still below average. If you need something as cheap as ReCaptcha to secure your site, you should know the position you're in.
But I'm getting off track. For those of you who enjoy my work, I will still be active on DeviantArt (Link below). If anybody wants to upload my new artworks onto FA for others or themselves, go ahead. I will probably still check out some of my favorite artists on this site from time to time. It was nice getting to know you all, I appreciate every comment, note, criticism, watch, etc. I hope to see some of you on DA. Best of luck to all of you <3

(Closed) Requests!
Posted 5 years agoNot taking any requests at the moment!
Okay, since people constantly send me notes asking whether I take requests I'm going to explain it here. Yes, I do take requests but keep in mind that it's not guaranteed that I will get to it. Due to my tight schedule, I barely have enough time to get my own ideas done, let alone your requests.
But let's get to some basic rules when requesting stuff. First of all, I do not make comics because they are too time-consuming. I will do one render per request. However, I can include closeup shots if that's any compensation. Now let me establish how I want the format of these requests to be. A lot of people hardly give me any details on what exactly they would like to see, sometimes I get a request that consists of six words and nothing more. I can't work like this, therefore I'm asking you to be as specific as possible. Tell me the models, model pose(s), camera position, background, setting, lighting, etc you would like to see on the render. You can also post an existing artwork as a reference point. One more thing I get constantly is people asking me for renders that I can't do due to the models not being available. I use SFM to make these posters, so the models must be available in the workshop.
If you have all that done post it as a comment below. Sending it as a note is fine but I would prefer to have all the requests listed in one section for me to read. I can't assure you that sending it as a note will be enough for me to remember since I do get notes frequently, which means that your request will most likely get buried. Post it here if you want to be on the safe side. And please refrain from spamming requests. With that, I leave you to it.
