Posted a year agoTen months later I finally dropped a thing worth looking at.
Reasons are pretty much the same as a couple journals ago. I can't catch a goddamn break, and it's largely thanks to a brief moment of stability that we're here Now.
There have been attempts at something presentable throughout the days, but nothing really stuck. I might upload one or two just to dump them into the scrap pile if some of you are actually interested in seeing one-tenths of a piece of garbage.
As stated in the description provided here -> https://www.furaffinity.net/view/56024255/ The idea for this came from a scuffed little story I've been cooking up with the use of AI-dungeon + basic subscriber benefits. Am fairly confident I could just write the damn thing much better by myself, but writing is a lot of fucking work and I only mess around with AI Dungeon to get my rocks off for a bit now an then anyway. It's a novel toy at least, a creative tool as a distant second.
"Midsummer Camping" was built in about the span of a week, It's on the same AmbitionLevel with Fun Control and much more confident in the Lineart department. I find that I really am at my most comfortable when I do my best to close the gap between traditional and digital, with some tweaks and a lot of practice I've gotten closer to where I wanna be but it's not perfect yet.
My background is in studying and making comics after all, the only right answer is to rely on that experience.
Perhaps the day will come when I can put my practice here to use and produce a whole short-story with my favorite Eeveelutions and this dude. Man can dream, but before that happens, I gotta seriously bone up on painting environments and like "global-lighting" or something, cuz this shit ain't gonna cut it.
"Midsummer Camping" just like "Fun Control" was also rather spontaneous, and I still don't wanna make any promises on when the next one pops in. However, I haven't forgotten about the idea of exploiting the apparent void of Mewtwo content, and I've been encouraged to perhaps explore Umbreon a bit. In the latter regard I'm inclined to put thought to form since I didn't spend all that time studying cats for nothing.
Also wanna hand a little shoutout to artist "bigdad", they pump stuff out at a positively ludicrous rate and it's been a privilege to study the recorded process, gave me good ideas on what do.
Shoutout to Camotli also they came out with a fantastic Espeon animation here-> https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53579935/ actually a dream come true my god.
And lastly, thank you for taking a moment outta your day to look at my crap. I fully expected to come back to an empty follow-count so it's cool that didn't happen.
Yeah, later.

Hahaha What?
Posted 2 years agoI come back with an upload after a couple months silence and all hell has broken loose here.
I'm not gonna give any kinda take here about what FA staff should and shouldn't do concerning their policy, what I am gonna do is review my content and perhaps remove a couple Espeons and maybe that freakin' cat, just in case. Other creators have opted to move their content on to other sites with more lenient upload policy, I'm not gonna follow suit since I don't make a habit of violating policy, and I don't expect anyone would follow me that far rn.
Anyway the new Fun Control is kinda cool and my picturemaker friends seem to approve, which is nice. I'm only slightly upset that the linework is a bit too soft or thick, need to do some research on how to replicate my traditional lining style on Digital because on paper (literally) Mewtwo would've had that hardness to them that I like.
Lighting and posing this time were on point, I'm really happy with those. it's a slight shame however that so much of the background I worked so hard to make ended up 75% covered, I redrew a whole bg from the Pokemon movie (plus added some anime tech-bs) to make sure it's not just a cheap paintjob. I suppose at the end of the day I'm walking away with a good imageRP bg.
I'm not really sure what it is that's gonna come out next since (again) this was such hyperspontaneous creation. From what I've gathered through surface level research is that Mewtwo isn't really super duper popular somehow compared to the likes of Renamon or w/e, I'll consider exploiting that.
Thank you for spending your time looking at my makings. More to come if and when there's a good idea to put out.
Extended thanks to new favorite scavs and followers too <3
Aight', later.

Posted 2 years agoRight, so what we got here is what we got here.
The new Espeon kinda owns.
My hands haven't been idle as I've sat hidden away in this shithole for the last half-something year. Esploitation is effectively a remake of Espeon Tests 4 and 5, lessons learned and applied, still chasing Kekitopu and Camotli while developing into something presentable. I don't wanna say that this one was pre-meditated in any way outside of vague visions from a couple days previous, In other words the Hiatus isn't really over(?), because this was such impulse moment that happened to turn into something decent.
As for the reasons behind the Hiatus... well I don't see the need to get into specifics; suffice it to say that it's nothing more dramatic than the usual school/life/brains kind of circus juggling that everyone else struggles with in their own ways. I check back here every so often to vibe on whoever I happen to be following and enjoy your wonderful creations + friendly comments when you drop them, but yeah things are normalish and fine, The world burns, god is in his heaven etcetc.
So anyway back to Esploitation; I think all the pieces fit effectively in this. I was feeling a lot less of the usual hesitation that no doubt comes across from earlier experiments. Photobashed Lacepatterns do a lot of the heavy lifting here, although I should've prolly spent a little more time in trying to make it look less artificial because the density of detail obscures and confuses way too much. Fun is king though, and there was plenty of that in this production.
My only Real gripe is the anatomical errors which I wilfully ignored throughout, priority was to get something out after such a long break. Forelegs too short, weirdly skinny, hips and waist tilted at a weird angle, hurts to look at.
Happy to give myself a solid C for effort this time. I was a little worried for like five seconds that the background graphic would make it look super shit but turned out super complementary, and that is an encouraging experience. Experiment, test, thrive.
Yeah that's about all I have to say this time.
I'll leave you with my thanks for your viewership. I hope you'll continue to enjoy my works in the future and maybe show them around too if your friends are into this stuff, though I suppose that's more upto me to make things that are worth sharing. I know I wouldn't wanna drop just any old piece of shit on my buddy's lap and expect them to jerk to it or whatever. Frankly I don't think my pictures are all that jerkable yet anyway rolfmaokek
Yeah, please look forward to the next one when it comes (they're ready when they're ready), might be another half-a-century don't hold your breath.
Almost forgot to adress the following:
P.S
I deleted my twitter account in a shitfit of rage some months ago and have no plans at the moment to bring it back up. I think I'm waiting for a better time to do it since right now i just see no value in maintaining that in any capacity.

Posted 3 years agoThings are wild IRL
Can't do FA related works anytime soon with warranted effort.
Don't expect anything new here for a hot while, You'll know as soon as I do if/when something is happening.
Yeah, have a good one.

Posted 3 years agoWe're back now after a bit over two weeks with Ero-energy to go at it again.
It's no secret by now that my time with Klonoa has given food for thought, and most importantly new materiel to work with. Like I said before, i have a hugely biased opinion about those games, they mean a lot to me on an emotional level and I hope some of you have or are considering giving them a chance.
Before I got to work on these new makes I struggled with some apprehension because I didn't want to let this work corrupt my relationship with the game and its subjectmatter, this irrational fear has since been dispelled because I realized I'm not an idiot so yeah we're good. Basically, whatever Klonoa is supposed to be has a very important attribute to go and that's sex-appeal, therefore we're going to exploit that for fun and clout.
Anyway, Let's talk about what we've uploaded so far.
Looking at Both K2Lewds it's fairly obvious that we're just using the same old methodology shared by the latest output from my Espeon days, What sets them apart a bit is that this time I redrew the frames from pencilsketches I made IRL. I feel like this afforded me the chance to let a bit looser with the linework since (try as I might) I can't seem to feel 100% perfectly in sync with my tried-and-true drawing technique even on a screentablet. Makes me wonder whether the problem is just lack of practice or sub-optimal program settings that makes the thing feel off. I'd hate to think that there is some inevitable "de-sync" with the machine that I just have to learn to live with, y'know instead of using the thing to enhance my drawing power. (If anyone has a take to give on this then I welcome it, I'm on a Huion Kamvas Pro 16)
The works themselves I feel have become standard fare for me, I think I'm getting better with color but There is improvement to be made in terms of rendering technique. In addition, I don't really appreciate the vagueness of our human anatomy, we could Iron out the kinks on both K2Lewds with a little more time, but I find I don't have the patience at the moment for extended frustration. You should know that I have a fair few more drawings left that I want to translate into Digital, and I also don't want to give in to my older perfectionist mindset so that's that. (You can probably tell just by looking that Klonoa got the least of my efforts on both Images, both pairs were produced on the day they were released if you exclude the IRL pencilwork)
I should add that it's kinda refreshing to work on humanoids. While Pokemon were still The thing for my brains I had a great time studying feline anatomy and depicting Pokephilia with Espeon, but as I've said often before; My Hyperfixations are fickle and I must follow their lead to their natural ends.
Back on topic, I'm thinking I just need to find some way to maybe improve what the Lineart needs to show so I can save time on rendering, now I said that out loud and realize with newfound clarity why so many of my favorite creators on the webzone settle for flat-shading, and instead focus on effective Images.
Being able to churn out more content more often (if I settled for flats) is the only justification I have in my head for this behaviour. Perhaps the time will come when I try a series like that, but I'm not going there until I'm done hashing out a fast and effective rendering method. If I can make acceptable work speedily, then I could make a lot of product that sells too which would be nice down the road.
Lastly, as per usual, I wanna acknowledge account related things.
The sad truth is that Klonoa isn't super well known as a franchise so I don't expect these new images to make a very big splash with the content-hungry crowds, but we're making them anyway because MY LIFE MY RULES
Somehow the favorites and Watchers still appear and I'm grateful for them, they are still encouraging me to try new things here and outside the website, that's really the best reward for my labor that I can think of next to funds to maintain lifestyle. I'll create a proper commission sheet etc when I'm ready to do so despite my peers suggestions.
It should be noted that I STILL continue to lust over Espeons. Every night, me and my trooper salute her passing fervently as she tiptoes in my dreams and beyond the umbral Noctiplains. Her rosy body and feline form compel me to give tribute in the one true way, I trust further elaboration is not needed (this time).
I give thanks to my watchers new and old, please look forward to more Klonoas in the near future. (buy the games too if you would be so wise)

So...
Posted 3 years agoIt's been about two weeks now since I last journalled here so have this little update.
We're not ready to say that there's anything significant happening in terms of uploads, but I am toying with some ideas in my sketchbooks and slowly getting to find that Mojo I need to get to work again. What you might see soon is a small upload to replace the placeholder thumbnail I have on my pfp, that upload will go straight to scraps.
So yes, rest assured that my hands haven't been idle throughout the last few weeks.
This is unrelated but the new Klonoa Remaster came out on Steam, packadge deal includes remastered versions of both Klonoa 1 and 2. I can confidently say even with my obvious bias that they're both great games and you should probably buy them. Send NAMCO a message with your dollars that we want more of this.
Favorites and watchers are still pouring in somehow and that's pretty nice, I'll take any positive reinforcement I can get that these experiments haven't been a total waste of man-hours.
Yeah that's about all there is to say for the moment. Have a good one.

Posted 3 years agoThis post is kinda late but not too late for a briefish explainer.
I've been asked this off-site but no such thing as quitting has happened in this absence. As stated in the frontpage description and the spectrum explainer, my commitments and hyperfixations fluctutate at a rapid pace, frankly it's a miracle it lasted as long as it did this time. New interests have taken my full attention and I'm no longer able to divide my dedications in such a way that more Espeons could be produced.
Sorry if you find this disappointing but that's the way the cookie crumbles. I'll be back eventually to continue the lewdquest and you'll see the results of that sooner or later. Most realistically speaking I might just drop some handdrawn stuff from paper here just to pepper in some content unless I somehow awaken to an unforeseen level of Horny, I honestly never know with these, it's a fickle thing. Journalposts won't be as frequent either but I'll try to keep you abreast of any relevant developments as I go.
Definitely keeping things extra brief this time, thank you for your understanding and patience.

Posted 3 years agoPretty good aye
This week I feel like we caught up with the ideal productivity.
Got a whopping three images out, one of which is a near duplicate of the other but it was for a worthy cause so definitely justified. I finished my runs with Sekiro so that won't be looming on my back anymore, as a substitute I took to Ace Attorney for a time, but my enthusiasm for that seems to have run it's course already. I love Phoenix Wright but I feel I would be doing the game a disservice if I was tryna force it down without absorbing its brilliant writing and Iconic characters with the proper respect. I'm considering playing the DOOM games again (2016 and Eternal) as a palette cleanser and dessert but we'll just have to wait and see, in any case my soul seems to yearn for some primal action.
One other thing I should mention.
Before I'm ready to continue with my Espeon related shenanigans I have another hobby-related chore that I need to get out of the way which I won't elaborate on here, suffice to say that I won't be able to give the photoseries my full focus if I don't sort this thing out first, speaking of-
-
E.BJ 1.1, as stated in the description is intended as the starter of a short series for the orally inclined, perhaps more if I feel like it. As some of you are doubtless aware, there are plenty of photoseries of this type out there, easy referral would be ArtistCG categories on some hentai sites where the images get minor alterations and new text for consecutive pages. I always found these a fascinating form of hentaimaking, I had this notion that surely there'd be a lot of time saved and more room left for elaborate/descriptive storytelling. I still believe the timesaving aspect to be true to an extent, but again I find myself humbled by the sheer labor of it all as I'm fuming over things such as the following:
How do I keep the imagequality and rendering style consistent across the board?
Where can I take shortcuts and where should plan redrawing either subject in a new position etc, what are the appropriate justifications for these moves?
IF I decide to go for writing dialogue, How much am I really willing to write? Did I leave enough space in the frame and how do I make/obtain a readable typeset?
What kindof writing would be appropriate for this anyway if I wanna keep it sensual? How much context do I have to provide potential readers about the situation, does it need context?
How much time am I willing to set aside to study contemporary works for examples on what's good and what ain't?
Point is there's a lot going on, and like I've mentioned before I don't wanna submit sub-par work. I'm not exactly in a hurry or anything either but I don't really wanna waste my time on some ingredient that would'nt go in the pot so to speak. Still, I think these are all interesting questions with a lot of answers to them. Some of those answers may seem obvious to you, but before you get any ideas you must understand that I'm not asking for advice here, this is just things that I'm considering out loud.
Anyway let's talk more about the images that DO exist.
The Original image (titled E.BJ 1 proto) had some redundancies like very awkward looking human thighs on the bottom of the frame, my peers agreed with me that our saluting trooper was found a tad too short, and the subjects expression, while decent, looked to me like a placeholder at best.
Inafox astutely mentioned that the new one is much more sensual and that is indeed what I want to convey instead of rampant lust ahegao bullshit, atleast for the time being.
E.BJ 1.1 has all the glaring flaws rectified, However, I'm looking at it now and just wondering if going for such an extreme close-up was such a good idea. I'm wondering if higher contrast in lighting would do something good to the feel of it, and worrying about how awkward it might get when I start posing the two subjects around. It's gonna be a challenge for me but at this point there's no other choice but to bite the bullet.
We should also acknowledge the Tender Horsea image, I made it over a quick evening in exchange for a quick favor IRL and there's not a lot I can say that hasn't already been said in its description. It was kinda fun to make, I still think the scene is pretty succesful for my standards and I look forward to making pictures with other pokemon in the future. Dude licking a Horseas broodpouch is pretty out there, but I in turn invite you to look up an actual seahorses sexual organs/behavior, and then tell me to my face what I shoulda done with that :D.
-
Lastly, as per usual, I wanna acknowledge account related things.
Like I said, I'm happy we got caught up with a better imagemaking quota, the works themselves have been satisfactory and good for my learning. I even made some sufficient backgrounds for once which I'm very happy about, it was a larger hurdle for me to overcome than you might think.
I STILL continue to lust over Espeons as is made evident by my producing of them. This creature wanders the umbral plains of my raunchiest dreams, and I, deranged and decadent, am the cunt-starved beast that stalks its every graceful step. This habit is gonna die hard, harder than the actual Die-Hard directed by John McTiernan which I would recommend to anyone looking for a good time.
Again, I'd like to give my sincere thanks to the people who've dropped Favorites for even the shittier test pieces, it keeps happening, and it continues to be more encouraging than you know.
I'd also like to give special thanks to my actual watchers who continue to steadily grow in number, you know who you are and must also know that I still appreciate you.
Due acknowledgement must needs be given to those who have bravely engaged me with their friendly comments, I'd ofcourse like to see more of them but I'm not complaining, just happy and eager to talk to you :3
As always, Please continue to look forward to the next thing.
This week I feel like we caught up with the ideal productivity.
Got a whopping three images out, one of which is a near duplicate of the other but it was for a worthy cause so definitely justified. I finished my runs with Sekiro so that won't be looming on my back anymore, as a substitute I took to Ace Attorney for a time, but my enthusiasm for that seems to have run it's course already. I love Phoenix Wright but I feel I would be doing the game a disservice if I was tryna force it down without absorbing its brilliant writing and Iconic characters with the proper respect. I'm considering playing the DOOM games again (2016 and Eternal) as a palette cleanser and dessert but we'll just have to wait and see, in any case my soul seems to yearn for some primal action.
One other thing I should mention.
Before I'm ready to continue with my Espeon related shenanigans I have another hobby-related chore that I need to get out of the way which I won't elaborate on here, suffice to say that I won't be able to give the photoseries my full focus if I don't sort this thing out first, speaking of-
-
E.BJ 1.1, as stated in the description is intended as the starter of a short series for the orally inclined, perhaps more if I feel like it. As some of you are doubtless aware, there are plenty of photoseries of this type out there, easy referral would be ArtistCG categories on some hentai sites where the images get minor alterations and new text for consecutive pages. I always found these a fascinating form of hentaimaking, I had this notion that surely there'd be a lot of time saved and more room left for elaborate/descriptive storytelling. I still believe the timesaving aspect to be true to an extent, but again I find myself humbled by the sheer labor of it all as I'm fuming over things such as the following:
How do I keep the imagequality and rendering style consistent across the board?
Where can I take shortcuts and where should plan redrawing either subject in a new position etc, what are the appropriate justifications for these moves?
IF I decide to go for writing dialogue, How much am I really willing to write? Did I leave enough space in the frame and how do I make/obtain a readable typeset?
What kindof writing would be appropriate for this anyway if I wanna keep it sensual? How much context do I have to provide potential readers about the situation, does it need context?
How much time am I willing to set aside to study contemporary works for examples on what's good and what ain't?
Point is there's a lot going on, and like I've mentioned before I don't wanna submit sub-par work. I'm not exactly in a hurry or anything either but I don't really wanna waste my time on some ingredient that would'nt go in the pot so to speak. Still, I think these are all interesting questions with a lot of answers to them. Some of those answers may seem obvious to you, but before you get any ideas you must understand that I'm not asking for advice here, this is just things that I'm considering out loud.
Anyway let's talk more about the images that DO exist.
The Original image (titled E.BJ 1 proto) had some redundancies like very awkward looking human thighs on the bottom of the frame, my peers agreed with me that our saluting trooper was found a tad too short, and the subjects expression, while decent, looked to me like a placeholder at best.
Inafox astutely mentioned that the new one is much more sensual and that is indeed what I want to convey instead of rampant lust ahegao bullshit, atleast for the time being.E.BJ 1.1 has all the glaring flaws rectified, However, I'm looking at it now and just wondering if going for such an extreme close-up was such a good idea. I'm wondering if higher contrast in lighting would do something good to the feel of it, and worrying about how awkward it might get when I start posing the two subjects around. It's gonna be a challenge for me but at this point there's no other choice but to bite the bullet.
We should also acknowledge the Tender Horsea image, I made it over a quick evening in exchange for a quick favor IRL and there's not a lot I can say that hasn't already been said in its description. It was kinda fun to make, I still think the scene is pretty succesful for my standards and I look forward to making pictures with other pokemon in the future. Dude licking a Horseas broodpouch is pretty out there, but I in turn invite you to look up an actual seahorses sexual organs/behavior, and then tell me to my face what I shoulda done with that :D.
-
Lastly, as per usual, I wanna acknowledge account related things.
Like I said, I'm happy we got caught up with a better imagemaking quota, the works themselves have been satisfactory and good for my learning. I even made some sufficient backgrounds for once which I'm very happy about, it was a larger hurdle for me to overcome than you might think.
I STILL continue to lust over Espeons as is made evident by my producing of them. This creature wanders the umbral plains of my raunchiest dreams, and I, deranged and decadent, am the cunt-starved beast that stalks its every graceful step. This habit is gonna die hard, harder than the actual Die-Hard directed by John McTiernan which I would recommend to anyone looking for a good time.
Again, I'd like to give my sincere thanks to the people who've dropped Favorites for even the shittier test pieces, it keeps happening, and it continues to be more encouraging than you know.
I'd also like to give special thanks to my actual watchers who continue to steadily grow in number, you know who you are and must also know that I still appreciate you.

Sure
Posted 3 years agoTime flies huh?
In my previous journalentry, I said that I would focus more on making things for this webzone again, but that was before I got horribly distracted by grossly neglected and sanity restoring Gaming + a relative of mine who shares my passion for picturemaking is having their birthday come up soon, so I had to put the lewds to the side in favor of making a nice picture involving their OC. This picture will not see the light of day here or anywhere else as it was made for them and them alone, nobody else would get it and I will not budge on this no matter what. Anyway, I managed to complete that piece well before the due date so that's all sorted out, however, the gaming isn't.
Foreword, I've been enthusiastic about Videogames my whole life. The digital worlds and stories they can tell have been so influential to me that I cannot with a clean conscience begin to describe my fondness and respect for their potential as a platform for storytelling, or their undeniable status as a totally unique artform. That being said my current goal with Sekiro is largely motivated by a completionist attitude since my initial "RP/lorefiend playthrough" is complete. I can't seem to get enough of that visceral and primally satisfying Stealth Action Combat, the intricate characters, or the Sengoku-era Nippon vibes. Sekiro is almost a perfect game for me, but I don't wanna dwell too deeply on studying the blade here, lest I find myself writing a short essay about its many many merits in a misguided effort to justify how i live my life to you. Indeed, it would be the height of folly to do that.

Let's get back to what it's all about here.
Inbetween my gaming hours I put together some decent lineart, did my usual thing, and today I Dropped another neat Espeon into the Pokepool. The unrelated artpiece for my relative gave me a good opportunity to test out the skills I've learned making Espeons. (It's probably gonna be weird reading about a piece you will never see but bear with me as this is intended more to clarify my own thoughts/observations)
That unrelated piece got a lot more effort out of me in terms of Rendering techniques. I'm fairly happy with the result. but I can't get over how artificial and whispy the digital painting looks despite my best efforts. I want my harder renders to look more solid and tactile, to have the feel of conceivably reaching out to touch the thing, that is the dream. I realize it's still far off for me because, instead of actively studying the masters and reading the theory, I spend my time indulging myself with Espeons and other hobbies, but this is where I remind myself that I'm not running a goddamn marathon or (to and extent) competing with anyone for attention. Over the years I've lost my enthusiasm for making pictures too many times because of an external pressure to try and monetize this thing you know?. The point is, I do genuinely wanna get better at this, but it has to happen on my own terms, and additionally, as of now this is just another hobby for me, my attitude shows in the output and that's fine and cool and good.
So about the new Espeon, I think it's like all cool and everything. Slowly getting more comfortable with depicting genitalia and experimenting with newfound knowledge of Feline anatomy is fun and exciting. I'd like to think my heretofore repressed affinity for this kind of thing is evidently coming across to my followers and peers. In Espeon 5 I touched up on this topic a bit in the description box; Progressive uploads have made me notice an annoying trend, and that is the fact that these images tend to lack the Oomph/impact I'd really wanna put out. Some of the artists I referred to in the last Journalentry seem to have a firm grasp on this element. I'm not sure how I'd put it into concise terms myself, but I'd like to learn how to make my images feel way satisfyingly impactful. I confess to some jealousy as I glance my way through my inspirers works every so often, afterall if they can do it, why not I?.
This is not to say that I totally dislike my own output, but it's their obvious artificiality that bugs me. Realistically speaking I don't expect to cross that gap anytime soon, which is fine I guess, my pace my rules. I think I just need to get braver about the use of lighting and color, radical perspectives and wilder posing, more exaggeration and all the fucking buzzwords you could think of. Yeah that's about all there is to say about that for now, the output will be more interesting to see rather than reading about my speculations anyway.
-
On another note I wanna acknowledge account related things.
It's still a bit of a shame that there's only been one submission this week, I'm attributing the delay to the aforementioned distractions. Even so , if it turns out that is just the natural pace for my hobbyist-level output then it must be accepted. I wouldn't want to force myself into delivering sub-par product to your hungry eyes.
My intensive gaming cannot be neglected either and I won't make any excuses about that since it is so crucial to maintaining sanity.
I continue to lust over Espeons so it's safe to assume there will be more of those until I've reached a point where i'm either comfortable moving on or (god-forbid) grow tired of this magnificent and lascivious creature. Their supple and graceful body is endlessly stimulating, and ripe for perverted tarnishings~
Again, I'd like to give my sincere thanks to the people who've dropped Favorites for even the shittier test pieces, it continues to be more encouraging than you know.
I'd also like to give special thanks to my actual watchers who continue to steadily grow in number, you know who you are and must also know that I appreciate you.
Due acknowledgement must needs be given to those who gave their comments and well wishes on the previous Journalentry. The topic of my condition can be challenging to tackle at the best of times. Your responses were heartening to read, thank you.

Okay
Posted 3 years agoYet another week has flown by and This time we only have the one lewd Espeon to show for it, but before we get into that I wanna lay some things out for our future benefit.
I'll drop the "bomb" here first, I have AS (Aspergers) and without getting into too much detail it means that my writing or behaviour can seem odd to people. It has happened before. I'm not trying to make excuses or to use my condition as a crutch, I take full responsibility over my own actions. The point of me coming out about it is to maybe give you some much needed context IF or WHEN there's something about my written word or general conduct that you find weird somehow.
One example would be that I tend to overexplain and try to sound overtly eloquent, other times much too direct or blunt and even insensitive. I will not always realize what I've done unless it's pointed out to me in clear english. Know I don't try to be intentionally abrasive or cruel with strangers on the internet or otherwise. To an extent, I've come to accept and appreciate these traits in me and will not compromise them no matter what, but I'm perfectly willing to give you my apologies as long as you're willing to explain to me how I've been an asshole.
It makes me happy when I'm allowed to express myself as clearly as I can so there is no room left for misinterpretation, I also have to insist on doing everything my way or else there's tremendous resistance and pain from the Brain. Being able to use this Journalspace to speak freely too is just one of the ways inwhich I find the satisfaction and peace of mind that I need, therefore you can continue to expect weekly updates here because the structured approach helps me cope with my brains.
Noone's gonna ask this of me but this just for the record, I'm not gonna pretend to speak for the "AS community" whatever that is. I don't seek them out or hang out with them. I don't need help with this, and if I do I seek it out from professionals or my close friends. I can and will Only speak for myself.
You might think this was not even a little necessary, and you might be right.

My Fourth Espeon came out just a scant couple days ago, felt pretty good to do it too. Real Talk? I'm still kinda awkward about tryna do actual porn, I honestly didn't think I had it in me, especially after staring at Espeons 1 through 3, but there she is now happyily taking a quirked up white cock goated in sauce inside of her. I think it's genuinely a good thing for my future output that I've broken through the artificial barrier of misguided modesty, so now the floodgates can be more open. What I mean by that is I think it'll be possible from now on to be more honest about what I really want to do, and so much of it is thanks to all you wonderful genius artists out there like
Camotli 
kekitopu_fa 
SeviYummy and 
MischievousMonica who have recently become a Tremendous source of inspiration and influence for my growth as a Digital Picturemaker. You have my deepest gratitude for making me feel actually excited to get to work again!
I have to confess, For the longest time I've resisted going into pornmaking because I had this dumbass notion in my head of it being somehow beneath me. I'm really glad that being here more actively the last couple weeks has humbled my perspective on the value and quality of my own work. My world of digital artistry has expanded by a great deal thanks to all of you who continue to produce artworks of all skill levels with a kindof perceived sincerity that I'm not used to seeing. Somehow it feels more real to me when the subjectmatter is "Taboo" you know? I'm sure this has nothing to do with how I grew up in a relatively conservative environment :), but I digress. Point being I don't want to carry on with some stupid mentality about how "true" artistry is an exclusive club for the real doers and pioneers. I want to learn how to Not treat this like it's a competition to be the best, but instead to learn and improve my skills for my own sake instead of chasing monetary gains.
-
On another note I wanna acknowledge account related things.
I consider it a bit of a shame that there's only been one submission in the last week, I really had to sort out that Commissiondeal first since it was causing me so much headache and distraction. Just to be clear, the Unrelated commission thing IS indeed sorted out and I can put more focus on Pokephilia again. Frankly speaking it's a load off the shoulders, this here is definitely what's driving my development right now. Speaking of which, I'm continuing to consistently sweat over Espeon (Stupid Sexy 'Speon) so you can pretty safely expect more of that as I continue to experiment and look for that Style that suits my way.
With that In mind, Once again I'd like to give my sincere thanks to the people who've dropped Favorites for even the shittier test pieces, it continues to be more encouraging than you know.
I'd also like to give special thanks to my actual watchers who continue to steadily grow in number, you know who you are and must also know that I appreciate you.

Cool
Posted 3 years agoBeen a good week in a lot of ways since I wrote the last Journal entry so let's get into it again.
The Two Espeon pieces I've made as tribute to the AO3 fanfiction titled "Only Crystal" have been pretty successful as experiments and publishings. I've yet to receive any meaningful feedback concerning them, but we all know what that's about. I'm thinking the more effortful comments will come with consistent uploads and additional renown down the line, and even if they don't that's just the way it usually goes in these pictureposting forums, and I hate to say that I've more or less come to accept how consumeristically artworks are treated in these spaces.
I haven't looked very deeply at the general code of Commenting conduct in this websight, but I have a feeling this might not be the kinda community where we Actively encourage eachother to "Git Gud" at making pictures, which is fine, like, I get it it's cool.
Speaking of which, Only Crystal 2 (my upload) was the closest so far in what I actually really wanted to put on paper so to speak. In a lot of ways it's still lacking. but I'm fairly confident that those glaring errors will be rectified in whatever follows in its wake. I'm undecided whether or not I'm gonna continue with Espeons though, they still bounce around in the back of my head, and in my steamier daydreams, but I don't want to make any promises ;)
The two latest Espeons have been rather tame in comparison to what I've posted before, they're like kids cartoons when compared to some of the other content I've seen posted here. Now, while I do have an inclination for getting down and dirty with it, I hesitate and still think it's gonna be a while before I try going deeper into the NSFW hellhole.
When I look at Espeon tests 1 through 3, I experience the kindof Mortal Cringe that you'd get if (as a purely hypothetical example) my Mom walked in on my 15 year-old ass staring at a sex-scene in Mass Effect the first. I really just want to delete them, but in the interest of transparency over my development I'm keeping the trigger off the finger for now. You people still give them favorites too which is welcome, and kinda weird but then I remember that you have no standards which is funny to me.
Anyway, objectively speaking, Espeons 1 through 3 have extremely sub-par bodyknowledge backing them and it's painfully obvious and it hurts my guts to Look at them. In my defense however, I made those three really quick over a few hours but it just goes to show how truly ignorant I am about the Details of the craft that some take for granted around here. I don't wanna be like that. In addition, I'm just not horny enough to go that direction yet, and I really REALLY wanna make sure I've studied feline anatomy and the general mammalian proportionality to a satisfying degree before I give it an honest try. I hope that this suffices as an adequate explainer for why I really insist on doing the proper research first.
If that is the type of content that you're looking for from me, then I'm sorry to say that you'll have to bear with me for a good while longer. I won't hold it against anyone if they find my approach disagreeable, but I will not subject you or myself to sub-par "art" until I'm good and ready no matter what. (unless you wave 200 bucks in my face then I will absolutely reconsider because I'm hungry)
‐
On another note I wanna acknowledge account related things.
The next upload is gonna take a bit of a backseat while I work on a non-pokephilia/furry related commission, I've been putting it off in favor of making Espeons AND so I can practice my digital picturemakings more comprehensively. Thanks to all of that hard work and your silent encouragement, I'm happy to say that we've reached a point where I'm eager to put the things I've learned here to the test. After that's done I can get back to planning the next thing for this webzone, please look forward to it. (When the unrelated commission is complete I will not be uploading it here because it would be too inconsistent with everything else.)
Once again, I'd like to give my sincerest thanks to the people who've dropped Favorites for the new and old experiments, it has been more encouraging than you know.
I'd also like to give special thanks to the new (Hi :3) and old (Sup) watchers, you know who you are and you have my gratitude.
Yeah that's about all there is to say for the moment, please continue to look forward to the next thing.

I'm undecided whether or not I'm gonna continue with Espeons though, they still bounce around in the back of my head, and in my steamier daydreams, but I don't want to make any promises ;)
The two latest Espeons have been rather tame in comparison to what I've posted before, they're like kids cartoons when compared to some of the other content I've seen posted here. Now, while I do have an inclination for getting down and dirty with it, I hesitate and still think it's gonna be a while before I try going deeper into the NSFW hellhole.
When I look at Espeon tests 1 through 3, I experience the kindof Mortal Cringe that you'd get if (as a purely hypothetical example) my Mom walked in on my 15 year-old ass staring at a sex-scene in Mass Effect the first. I really just want to delete them, but in the interest of transparency over my development I'm keeping the trigger off the finger for now. You people still give them favorites too which is welcome, and kinda weird but then I remember that you have no standards which is funny to me.
Anyway, objectively speaking, Espeons 1 through 3 have extremely sub-par bodyknowledge backing them and it's painfully obvious and it hurts my guts to Look at them. In my defense however, I made those three really quick over a few hours but it just goes to show how truly ignorant I am about the Details of the craft that some take for granted around here. I don't wanna be like that. In addition, I'm just not horny enough to go that direction yet, and I really REALLY wanna make sure I've studied feline anatomy and the general mammalian proportionality to a satisfying degree before I give it an honest try. I hope that this suffices as an adequate explainer for why I really insist on doing the proper research first.
If that is the type of content that you're looking for from me, then I'm sorry to say that you'll have to bear with me for a good while longer. I won't hold it against anyone if they find my approach disagreeable, but I will not subject you or myself to sub-par "art" until I'm good and ready no matter what. (unless you wave 200 bucks in my face then I will absolutely reconsider because I'm hungry)

On another note I wanna acknowledge account related things.
The next upload is gonna take a bit of a backseat while I work on a non-pokephilia/furry related commission, I've been putting it off in favor of making Espeons AND so I can practice my digital picturemakings more comprehensively. Thanks to all of that hard work and your silent encouragement, I'm happy to say that we've reached a point where I'm eager to put the things I've learned here to the test. After that's done I can get back to planning the next thing for this webzone, please look forward to it. (When the unrelated commission is complete I will not be uploading it here because it would be too inconsistent with everything else.)
Once again, I'd like to give my sincerest thanks to the people who've dropped Favorites for the new and old experiments, it has been more encouraging than you know.
I'd also like to give special thanks to the new (Hi :3) and old (Sup) watchers, you know who you are and you have my gratitude.
Yeah that's about all there is to say for the moment, please continue to look forward to the next thing.
Wow
Posted 3 years agoAwhile ago I read this piece of fanfiction on Ao3 called "Only Crystal" that lit a fire under my ass for making Pokephilia.
The premise was Pokemon/viral outbreak, Survival with Zombies.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but I found it a genuinely good piece of storywriting.
(Link at the bottom)*
Anyway, I feel that after the Absol Test piece I'm ready to try making a genuine tribute to that story by making an Espeon related thing.
Feels appropriate to give due credit now that I am so inspired.
The piece itself has decent linework and flats applied already so now I just need to be brave about how I color/shade it.
I guess my goal is to try and convey the emotion of the scene in my own bumbling way, so that's something for you to look forward to I suppose.
After that's done I have to make a decision about whether I wanna do a proper series of Espeons for practice again, and also need to think about how hard I wanna commit to Hard Smut vs Sensual Lewd, thinkin' I'll cross that bridge when I get to it and see what feels right.

On another note I wanna acknowledge account related things.
I hadn't uploaded much of anything consistently for a few years since I first popped into this webzone outta curiosity, so the reception to recent things has been heartening to see.
I admit to some hesitation about starting out on this and trying to insert myself into a such an infamous community, but the vibe has been good.
Pokephilia as subject matter felt dubious at best to me, and I'm sure the same is true for the select few that I've shared this with in my circle of friends, but noones come and told me to fuck off yet so that's been a nice surprise.
With that In mind I'd like to give my sincere thanks to the people who've dropped Favorites for even the shittier test pieces, it has been more encouraging than you know.
I'd also like to give special thanks to my actual watchers, you know who you are.
Yeah that's about all there is to say for the moment, please look forward to the next thing.
