This is how it is.
Added 2018-01-31 21:04:30 +0000 UTCMy patreon page is failing. It's not anyone's fault but mine. I'm not asking for handouts or donations to save me from any financial stress. What I'm doing is admitting that I've let down my fans and supporters and they've decided to slowly but surely leave.
My best months on here were May and June of last year. Since then patron count has been dropping. I can explain why. My art is suffering in quality. My output is a joke. My style is becoming unattractive and almost grotesque in some cases. My heart isn't in it. I don't care about what I'm putting out any more. There's a lack of variety in every aspect of what I used to call my art. It's no longer art to me. What I've been putting out is a product I don't want to make any more.
I have to stop this cycle because it's not good for me and no one wants it. Before you go directly to cancelling your pledge at this point, please keep reading. The worst is now behind us. I'm not quitting. I'm starting over with your help.
What I'm proposing is starting from scratch and practicing. I worried so much about the end product and whether or not it would appease some fetish that belonged to my fanbase that I forgot to enjoy what I was doing. I stopped sketching and doodling. I stopped trying new things. The rut I fell into was filled with complacency and fear of the unknown. I stopped being creative. I made my self into a porn printer that was running low on ink, barely getting by. I stopped giving a shit. For that, I apologize.
I don't know what I'm going to draw at this point. I want to continue a few of the projects I've already started but I need something new to work on that gives me freedom, something unrelated to my "style" or my "genre" that allows me to go back to basics and really explore.
Call it a crisis of identity or a brutal reality check. Either way I'm at a point where I can't keep doing what I've been doing. Something has to change. I'm also going to be more active on here communicating with you. I used to think of my self as a lone wolf. Self reliant and self sufficient. Lone wolves starve and die alone. This is a community. I can't keep wandering off.
Where does that leave us entering February? I don't know. But I'm hoping you can all chime in and we can work this out together. What I do know is that things are going to change for the better because the alternative is death. This all seems bleak and melodramatic, I'm sure. This is me admitting fault and probably being way to hard on my self for something every artist hits at some point; burnout. So lets fix it, take our time to figure it out and move forward.
~Peace~

This big post is old but honestly? I was disappointed you didn't branch out to other fetishes and that's why I originally cancelled my pledge, and will do so again and come back in another six months to see if anything has changed. There's been brief hints of you being able to put out awesome stuff that has nothing to do with interracial art, from a lot of your Legend of Queen Opala stuff to the futa pics you did as fanart for Dmitrys/Affect3D. The world of Coxville is bland, it barely has one dimension let alone two. I'm hoping you expand on it, and your variety in general but we'll see.

2018-02-13 22:38:27 +0000 UTCI just started pledging today, so I'm a latecomer. I didn't know you were facing all these issues. I didn't even know you were making 3d stuffs. You're a very talented man. I remember when I first discovered your art years ago, I was thrilled. Each new picture was an excitement. Very unique. At that time I had stopped drawing - I used to draw my smut fantasy as well before - but I had lots of respect for the artist you were. And I still have lots of respect : You have always kept on improving instead on relying on a proved formula. I guess that's maybe why you're getting tired, and aim for 3d and animation : that's a new challenge. Just follow your heart, and work your magic on whatever you feel inspired to. Cheers

2018-02-11 09:52:45 +0000 UTCI totally get where your coming from but also love your artwork. I myself host a Patreon that has seen better times. Going from 100 patrons to 80 regularly. But keeping focused and taking a new angle is a great idea.

2018-02-10 20:53:04 +0000 UTCListen dude I love your work I have never payed a site like this before ....but your work struck a cord with me it is almost addictive....Carry on would love to see both the girls get dicked from a gang bang perspective... and just my gut feeling that Jenny has lesbian leanings..... Would love to see more on the HOT MEAL theme

2018-02-10 05:47:12 +0000 UTCI just started pledging and really love your work! My favorites are the pinups of your girls, like in Jenny Poolside below. The interracial sex is not really my thing, but you do it well. My only suggestion would be to keep it simple.
2018-02-09 16:10:18 +0000 UTCDo you have any interest at all in tabletop roleplaying games or the like? I think incorporating aspects from that could jog your imagination and get you thinking about fun story telling and improvising more for the sake of it. I know this is Pit-"Erotic" but I would not mind seeing you branch out from straight up porn into more ecchi stuff. Pick some fantasy or alien races you think would make a cool story. Elves, Orcs, Gnomes. Then some elements Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light, Dark. The patrons can vote for these very vague things and you try to make up a character based on it. As you go along, end pages where the character has to make a decision. It can be multiple choice thing like picking between a grappling hook or an axe, or more open ended like "we're about to get hit by a fireball, what do you do?" and pick whatever sounds like a good suggestion in the comments. Just start really loose, don't even worry about the quality of the artwork to begin with. If you get inspired to want to show some cool stuff then put a little more work into it. Focus on telling a fun story first and foremost. Or do something else. It's just a suggestion among many.

2018-02-07 19:24:05 +0000 UTCTry some new styles and new techniques. Maybe branch out to more genres. I'm sure there are some great resources out there for you to check out.

2018-02-07 01:40:50 +0000 UTCDude you have 1,000 people supporting you for every drawing you make. Just draw a variety of BBC comics. Rabies and KennyComix are pumping out great BBC material at a faster more consistent rate than you. JUST DRAW SOME HOT CHICKS AND BIG DICKS---THEN HIT POST. I think you are overthinking things...
BBC Waifu
2018-02-04 22:09:01 +0000 UTCIMO Pits greatest work was between hunt 19 and 119. there was a more simple fun feel to it back then. When ThePit says he feels his work is "becoming unattractive and almost grotesque" all i can say is i'd remove "almost" the sentence; i'm glad pit finally noticed. Overuse of neon pink and blue, bodies taken to extremes with girls just being a collection of lips, tits and ass. guys look like they're injecting lego instead of steroids into their bodies. when i look at officer gold pic from jan i don't recognise the Pit in there. The Two Hot Blonde comics were simple two hot blondes getting nailed. The art was good the story simple but fun. whatever caused ThePit to take his 3 years holiday from johnpersons is what he needs to look at because since returning he's not be happy with what he's producing. i know this just turned into a rant but its what i've been thinking for years and needed to get it out. also more comics not just pinups

2018-02-04 19:21:38 +0000 UTCI wanted to add my reply from your latest creation "Jenny Poolside" because I think it's appropriate here and I hope others will read it: This is def one of the most amazing ever! When I see an incredible fantastic piece like this, a phrase comes to mind sort of like a paradox which is hard to wrap my mind around: to have and to be. I want to have her and to be her. It's similar to having your cake and eating it to, only I'm not talking about eating (def not ruling that out either ;]), but rather being. To explain the distinction, I think the notion of how we can't have our cake and eat it too is obviously about how perishables/consumables are typically gone once used or consumed. On the other hand, to have and to be is about how we can't occupy the same space as the specific subject of desire and the desirer of said subject. So I think there is at least some minor distinction here, but yeah, basically, for the vast majority of us fans, the simpler phrase applies insofar as she is the beautiful sumptuous cake we want to have and eat. Meanwhile, I've noticed it is also the very popular feeling that many more fans of your art, evidenced by their own admission or glorification via avatars on social media, in which we dream of being your various characters. Just look at all those role-players on Twitter! I can't even keep track of how many Jennies and Kitties and studs there are, each with thousands of followers of their own - personas based on your various creations. But anyway, I look at your stunning pinups and think how incredible these archetypes are, that my mind feels liberated enough I could celebrate having and being any of your characters. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that countless others feel the same way. I don't know, I just believe that life is too short to be ashamed of our dreams. Thankfully I think your watershed works have been instrumental in allowing more and more folks to be open-minded. People used to bitch and argue about this stuff, but I see a lot more acceptance lately. I think a lot of that can be credited to the fact that since you launched your public galleries on various social media, your large following is better recognized and they are very many diverse and cool people, from Tara Babcock to Brandon Graham. All your fans I've come across have been very cool and kind, including the several artists you have inspired. You should be uber proud.

2018-02-04 18:49:58 +0000 UTCWhere can we see your stuff?
Hammertyme
2018-02-04 17:43:41 +0000 UTCDevin, you are talking about Marie-Claude Bourbonnais at AVN? There's a video clip of her in cosplay as Kitty Summers on Pit's twitter. I was just wondering if you might have seen others besides her. Also, I love interracial. I love BBC and bombshells, but not just blondes. I love redheads, Asians, Latina and black babes, specially sassy size queens who desire to be put into their place and share the BBC fantasy. <3
Hammertyme
2018-02-04 17:30:59 +0000 UTCI agree with A.M. You have a couple of story lines hanging - Damballah Island, Racist Blondes Go Black, Officer Gold and BLow. Finish them up. That should keep you busy and consistent for a while for your fans. Your trademarks are bimbos and BBC so let your creativity run wild in the genres that made you well known. BTW - Stormbringer has put out a lot of story material that you could put art to as you have done in the past, i.e. Jenny, Kitty, etc. Go for it!!
2018-02-04 05:36:31 +0000 UTCI've been following you specifically for curvy dames and big dicks! As I've been following along, i've come to discover you're also a fantastically skilled artist, who is more than capable of drawing literally anything and everything that comes to mind, So i can see why you'd feel this particular subset you're climbing out of can feel so claustrophobic. Personally, I love bimbos, I love big girls, small girls, buxom girls, thick girls.. I love fat girls and thin girls and tough dikes and soft nerds and I will always be on the look out for more beautiful women. To have an artist who puts out such lovely work of these girls with impossibly big cocks is a massive plus, but the racism and bbc stuff is just a gimmick for me, not really a turn off, but i wasn't going to complain. If you wanna draw more types of girls and guys, I'll definitely stick around and offer my support! If you wanna draw something completely different, some gnarly sci fi adventure or crazy fantasy, i'll stay too, because goddamn the stuff you make is so gorgeous, how could I ever leave!

2018-02-04 01:10:02 +0000 UTCJust draw more. Whatever comes to you. Common complaint about you online is that you propose something and do couple pages and you go silent for a while afterwards.

2018-02-03 18:48:12 +0000 UTCDraw what makes you happy. If you generally care about what you put out, the people will too, and they'll support you.
J J
2018-02-03 04:05:29 +0000 UTChow you feel about your art and your business is something only you can process. do whatever you have to do to be in the right place with it. i appreciate your work, even if a piece isn't right up my alley, which it usually is, hard core interracial. that being said, you don't have to produce anything until you're ready. the only time i feel let down is if there is a promise of something to come that doesn't come. why not just post at your own convenience, and don't post when you don't feel like it, or don't have anything new or inspiring to you, but just don't tell us what or when things are coming? that's the point of patreon. post when you want. do whatever you gotta do. i'm still supporting your patreon. and i look forward to being charged whenever your next post happens to be.

2018-02-03 01:13:36 +0000 UTCHey man, I love your work... But, anyways like many others have said here before, your art is great, and I mean, you might see it as maybe porn or smut, but honestly its seems way more original then any of that. I mean, storytelling wise you can do so much more with hand drawn art then you can with real people. I will say this though, I don't believe 3d is the way to go. Sure, it may be easier and may have initially more appeal than 2d art, but honestly I keep going back to the 2d stuff, and get bored of the 3d because a lot of it just lacks imagination.

2018-02-02 23:52:56 +0000 UTCI know I've been there before, maybe still am. I'll continue pledging to you out of the sheer respect and love for your style!
Kerby Dallas
2018-02-01 23:25:13 +0000 UTCGood luck with this crisis. It's never easy to make a critic about the work you produce and it demand sometimes to look at some hard truths. good luck. SOmetimes it's good to look back at the begining some unfinished projects, some ideas... I like your old style for your details but you should find a happy middle.

2018-02-01 18:05:56 +0000 UTCA truly great idea!!
3DXAddict
2018-02-01 15:51:51 +0000 UTCVery well put and Perfectly agree...this is what I want as well. As I have said before, I don't think he is tired of doing Interracial and I don't think he will stop. I think he wants to try new things and even though he was doing that before, I believe what he means is that he wants to keep at it when he starts something new but he is unable to because he gets pulled in a million different directions, which can happen to anyone!
3DXAddict
2018-02-01 15:46:57 +0000 UTCI agree 100% I don't think he is tired of doing interracial...hell that is what he has ALWAYS done and I don't see that being the problem. I thing he is just tired of everyone asking for his older stuff and also how people demand so much out of him. He just went thru having cancer and that is one of THE Hardest things to EVER have to deal with, but he got thru it. Everyone was nagging him the entire time about his work. But he only charges for what he makes so if nothing gets published then no one gets charged. I just hope he both tries something new, but also continues to do what he does and has ALWAYS done best...Interracial. I know that is not ALL he wants to do, and I totally understand that. I just don't think he is talking about quitting his IR work...I believe he enjoys doing it, just that he wants to do other stuff too. His work with 3D models was looking Amazing and I hope he continues working with 3D, he did really seem to enjoy it. I would like to see him continue to do Interracial stuff as well as work with 3D models and also Animations, and try new things as well!
3DXAddict
2018-02-01 15:11:13 +0000 UTCI like both the old style (2 Hot Blondes-JP Style) and the New Style (Hot Meal, Bimbo Girls, Damballah). As for your desire to try new things...go ahead and do just that. You do what you want, we are here to enjoy it. I hope you continue to do what you are best at though...IR art, but I also hope you can find a happy medium and do other styles as well, which is what I am sure you are referring to when you say you need to "start from scratch". A suggestion from me...keep working on like 2 or 3 of your projects, but work on something new as well...most of us here will enjoy whatever you produce!! I just want to see you flourish and hopefully go back to enjoying what you do, like you used to!! Hope all is well for you and don't worry, you will be back in no time!!!

2018-02-01 14:48:55 +0000 UTCuhh.. i guess time moves on. good for you, let's see what you come up with, I'm here for the quality behind your art.. thought there's be more comics stories. again I'll stick around for a bit but being honest I was here for the fetish..
tron carter
2018-02-01 13:45:12 +0000 UTCI'm a big fan of you!!! So if you are curious about my opinion: your best style is the 2HBH page 95-114, page 40 of Plantation (pink and blue dressed girls), or Ho-ForTheHolidays pinup! That style is amazing, soo fcking hot, and my favorite part. That art make me your huge fan. The style of recent times (3D or grotesque girls) is not hot, and good. Where is Pool party, Planatation or 2HB series?? I sorry for you PIT, but you must change back to the time, and make that in the modern art/style. This is my opinion...
Kronus
2018-02-01 11:24:16 +0000 UTCI'm here for the blondes tbh. If you are not interested in the fetishes you've drawn so far, try some other ones that appeal to you. Sketches will be fine, and you can get feedback from people here. As you already know a lot of your work is posted elsewhere. If you post on other sites in addition to patreon you can get feedback from a larger userbase. F.ex we pay for the sketch, then you can make it available for free to the rest of the world later. You color it if you think it's worth it. As for 3D, I'd love to see it, and I am okay with waiting for a finished product. People would still be interested in seeing a demo, like you've already shared.
kitchener
2018-02-01 11:13:13 +0000 UTCI for one appreciate the brutal honesty, and I will say that you shouldn't continue making art that makes you unhappy, or feels like a chore. I'd say you need to evaluate yourself and just figure out some things you've always wanted to make art of and DO IT. I'll be honest to say, I don't care what fetishes you make art of, just to see your style of work and see something you made with passion would be awesome. If I were to suggest ANYTHING, I'd love to see your style of bimbo translated to something sci-fi. Women meeting alien beings, your women wearing those sexy 50's style pinup space suits, but that is just something I'd want to see. Again, just figure out some things you've wanted to draw and go crazy. I'll continue to be one of your patrons, and will gladly support you through this transition. Good Luck!

2018-02-01 10:45:13 +0000 UTCVery well said, I wholeheartedly agree. Head up Pit, you will find your inspiration soon :)

2018-02-01 07:27:58 +0000 UTCPersonally, when I started pledging to you, I did so not out of any expectation of regular output from you, but rather because I simply wanted to support someone who is clearly ridiculously talented and who has earned my unending appreciation. For me, these are donations of thanks and love to you the artist -- to YOU the human being. I know I don't speak for everyone, but as far as I'm concerned, you could permanently retire from art today and I would still want to support you as my way of saying thanks. I can relate to a lot of what you posted about losing steam, drive, and "not caring." Holy moly, everyone experiences this, even about things we should arguably care about the most in life. You don't need to apologize for being human, and if people give you flak for it, to hell with them, they certainly couldn't do any better (and if they could, they wouldn't need to visit your page in the first place to get high off your creations). I'm sure from your perspective, you would love nothing more than to quickly rekindle that spark, that flame that got you excited in the first place and got you to that point when you felt your output was peaking. Too bad creativity doesn't always cooperate with our timetables. Dry spells are all too common and can last for months, years, or be basically the continuous "default" state in between rushed, brief flurries of creativity. On top of everything, it can be almost impossible to be creative when you're distracted or otherwise occupied by what's happening in your daily life. Whatever happens, you've got a loyal patron in me and I plan on continuing my support, modest as it may be, as long as I possibly can (for life hopefully!). You just be yourself and do what your heart tells you -- even if that means starting over, taking an extended break, or pursuing something entirely different. Keep chasing your happiness -- you'll be rewarded with it, at least from time to time if nothing else!
Mister Glitch
2018-02-01 06:56:56 +0000 UTCIt's all good general advice here but the specific directions are up to what you'll want. Personally, I felt your art style around 2012 was best, but it's not like you can lose artistic talent and there are probably good reasons like you said for switching to the caricatured style. I don't know what direction you'll go or should go but I'll still be patreoning.

2018-02-01 05:51:36 +0000 UTCyou should do a manga! love your art
marley01
2018-02-01 05:50:59 +0000 UTCHey, I became a patron of yours for a reason. That reason was to support you in what you do because I recognized huge talent. That hasn't changed. I think we've all been at a point where our passion felt like, for lack of a better word, work. There's no joy in that. I will continue to be your patron because I've struggled with some of the same things you have and got through it with the help and words of others. Because I still see immense talent. Because I know I'll be a fan of whatever you put out that brings you joy. Keep on keeping on Pit!
Dave
2018-02-01 05:23:08 +0000 UTCI understand how one can lose their inspiration and stop putting their heart into their work, that happens. I recognized a drop in quality and output but I was willing to stick with you because I've seen you're work at its most polished. I'm sorry to here that you are not continuing any projects, never got to see the end of the Power Girl project, but I'm still here so lets see how this goes.
Loki Boy
2018-02-01 04:53:14 +0000 UTCHey man, i feel like i been through something similar and maybe in some way still going through it. I feel like you know what you need to do Is to draw for your self, learn and explore, draw what makes you happy. Im fan of you first of all so im happy to see what you create regardless. Seeing what you draw for yourself makes me learn about you as a person and thats interesting. Fans will keep supporting you.
Dmitrys
2018-02-01 04:47:49 +0000 UTCI hear what you're saying. I think it's best that you take time to think about what you want to create. Try different styles, different techniques, even different platform for you to create. Post what you enjoy and then see if we more, then decided if you want to continue with it. You have talent but it will be wasted making what you don't enjoy. Find what you want to make and share it with us until a shared enjoyment is found. Maybe try to keep posting this month with different ideas and find a new project and then focus on that. I'm sure most of this patreon will be happy to contribute with ideas that hopefully match what you can create. Just create and spitball ideas with us, keep it a two way street and I'm sure you will be much happier with what you create.
Will Chesterfield
2018-02-01 04:40:09 +0000 UTCAs I have said from the beginning...I do not really care what the content you produce is; just that you produce. I am happy to keep supporting you in whatever you do. I am here for the art. As an artist myself, I can understand being your own harshest critic, but please believe me when I say that you have nothing to be worried about with what you have been producing so far. What has always drawn me to your art is your solid figures, construction, grasp of human anatomy, and your very attractive cartooning. I've watched you evolve from pen and ink and very simple coloring to becoming a fully digital artist, and your evolution has done nothing but impress me. Your coloring style, be it painterly, aribrushed, or cel shaded is always impressive, and I like your warm pallete. It makes your images inviting and lively. Your figures have great gesture which keeps them from being static, and gives them a sense of weight and movement, even in a static pose. You expressions are spot on and easy to read, communicating an internallife to your characters If you are no comfortable with the content you are current producing, then by all means...pursue what interests you, because what you are doing now obviously isn't working for you. Do work that interests you, and continue posting. While I only speak for myself, your art and your style are attractive enough that you will find a new following eventually. There is absolutely no point in doing work that doesn't make you happy, unless you want to pursue being a commerical artist (IE, art for money), in which case...you will have to do work that doesn't interest you to the best of your ability. But here, on YOUR Patreon...do the work that interests you, and it will eventually find an audience. I will continue my support. The way you have set up your Patreon, charging by the content produced rather than a flat rate, puts all the power in your hands; the more you produce, the more I am willing to pay. Those are my thoughts on this.
ForeShadow
2018-02-01 03:37:12 +0000 UTCI hope you make it stick this time man... I seem to recall a post a year or so ago that basically hit all the same points you've made here... And look where we are. Be serious about making changes stick this time buddy.
Jaina Splinters
2018-02-01 02:45:45 +0000 UTCYou do what you need to do, I stopped supporting for a while, but I'm back. creators have to go through this phase of self realisation , i agree . Trying out new styles and things are good too . But i only ask for one thing . Keep working on it . whatever it is , new , old , weird , whatever , just keep doing it . also , new styles and stuff is good , but i'm guessing most of the fans are a fan o your present art and story styles , so retain an amount of it in the future , going into a completely different style will probably be not good . i mean its good for you and if people like it they will stay , and you may get even more fans , but all i'm saying is keep your current style in mind too :)

Daniel Picone
2018-02-01 01:47:10 +0000 UTCBro, I came to you for the art. No matter what the content is, it's still done by you. I'll be here. Blaze a new trail and we'll follow.

2018-02-01 01:32:35 +0000 UTCSince this is pay per post, there was no lost involved that gave me a reason to leave. Trust me, I have one patreon that charges by month but barely delivers anything. With you, I have no quarrel, I know one artist owes me $700 in commissions if that makes you feel better. I have enjoyed your work and still do, even the ones that your trying new styles. If your having a trouble to motivate yourself, at least having paid by post makes it easier for us to be patient. Just get yourself back up and get motivated and don't change what you love to draw...Hot women that are too good for reality getting into hot actions! X3
Animeplayer
2018-02-01 01:16:45 +0000 UTCInstead of focusing on all these ideas that you have, pick ONE and start there. We're loyal to you and if you keep communication and showing SOMETHING, we'll know you're atleast making an effort. But sending an email once every two months is obviously going to piss people off. Shit. I was pissed but I, an artist as well know that youre going to have artists block from time to time. But communication is key.
2018-02-01 00:55:46 +0000 UTCAs an artist myself I can see where you're coming from, so here's just my two cents. It can indeed be hard to find motivation and drive for your drawings as you transition from it being "just a hobby" to it being your job. If you feel you've been forcing yourself to deliver a sub-par product you should probably stop, and take a step back. Consider what you like to do and just start doodling. I know that whenever I enter a rut the thing to shake me out of it is to draw something completely unrelated, put it aside for a moment and just let loose. The result could be garbage, or you might hit gold accidentally. In either case, if the end result of your mindless doodling is something worthwhile for us patrons, just post it. Doesn't matter if its unrelated to any ongoing projects. Now after you've done that (and while you're continuing to do that) it's time to just set a time for when to work on the big projects. Like, make a schedule, an hour a day for let's say... every workday. If that hour ends up a dud and you couldn't get anything done then so be it, just at least put the time in. The point is to still have fun with your drawing and only partition off small parts of your day to do your "job", the boring part you don't really like, but have to do. The major thing school teaches us is not any skills or knowledge, but how to do something even if we don't feel like doing it, because it's boring, it's numbing, it eats away at your soul, but it's also important. That's why you have to chew through and just go, find different means of enjoying yourself if your hobby turned job doesn't manage to bring the passion out of you anymore. People often say that those who can turn their hobby into their job are blessed, but we're really not, turning your hobby into your job can suck all the passion and love out of it. And you can end up just like the office worker sitting in a cubicle, mindlessly typing away at his computer and copying files. That at least works for me. Now as for the content of your drawings, I personally never cared for BBC or bimbos, I only really am just interested in your style, so as long as it's smutty and drawn by you, I'll prolly stick around.

2018-02-01 00:33:17 +0000 UTCPit... Been with you since the beginning, since the shemale drawings and superhero stuff. I love that you found a niche in Interracial and NO ONE ... I mean NO ONE does it better than you!! In fact, I was at the AVN awards a few years ago and there where REAL WOMEN dressing as YOUR CHARACTERS ... LEGIT!!! I do IR art as well. You gotta do what makes you happy. Discipline is an artists worst friend and sometimes the enemy to creativity. Just draw what you want. People will still come for the quality (your Supergirl stuff) or DON'T... Its really about how much you care about making money at it to. I enjoy YOUR INTERRACIAL Tremendously.. and ONLY NITE Q is as good stirring my wild imaginations.. But ultimately if you were to do something else I would still stick around to see what its all about. Thank you for being honest, exposed and sharing your feelings. Sometimes it takes a new hobby to stir up creative flow... I just try to put it to myself that I can either draw or do my taxes for the year... I always end up drawing. ;)

2018-02-01 00:18:05 +0000 UTCDon't give up on BBC! That is your bread and butter. But a piece of advice when you start something new---stick with it. Like when you started the 3D models, you created them and them....did nothing. Other interracial artists have an consistent BBC theme, but they constantly create new characters and new storylines to shake things up!
BBC Waifu
2018-01-31 23:49:10 +0000 UTCI don't know what you will do, if you want to stop drawing erotica or if you want to explore new ideas in itself, but whatever it is, I think people will support you. I do. I would love to know what ideas you have, ideas that make you excited to draw. Because at the end of the day, is not about us, it's about you. If people stop supporting you, new people will come, interested in your new drawings and ideas. That's what I want to see.

2018-01-31 23:01:56 +0000 UTCHi Pit, I'm personnaly not going to remove my pledge because I really enjoy your art and style. I don't mind you trying new stuff and I really enjoyed your animations (you made one cumshot animation which was more than fapworthy). So in short, do what you think is good for you because in the end you are the first person you need to convince with your work. So stay awesome.
Devilkitsune
2018-01-31 22:44:59 +0000 UTCI think you should carry on with your current style and not give up. The B-low animations are just too great imo. Maybe just do other kinds of stories as well as the occasional interracial one?
Re-edit
2018-01-31 22:43:45 +0000 UTCAlso, I really love Jenny!
Don
2018-01-31 22:41:53 +0000 UTCI think you have improved, if you ask me, what I say is before you draw stuff on the computer, get the paper and pencil out and just draw whatever for half and hour or whatever to feel free. Use them sharpies, paints, scan stuff in, Your style is much cleaner than before and better for it, Also look at books on artists you follow , always have them to hand. I always say check out disney art books to what ever animated film you like, eg Zootropolis art book is really good, and Big hero 6 too, Hope this helps. Going to the park and soding about in the outdoors really does work.
Don
2018-01-31 22:38:23 +0000 UTCI know that you tried to stretch yourself out to try new things. Maybe you'll get back to basics and back into it. I want to be around to see what happens. Stay strong, my man!
David Boddie
2018-01-31 22:31:55 +0000 UTCSorry to hear your having a bad time, I had no intention of dropping you mainly because you only charge for what you produce. I have supported others who use tiers and have been blanked. But, maybe if you switched to tiers and created a character driven comic based on your ideas and supporter suggestions, you might find a real challenge to inspire you and your own sense of what’s right will motivate you to keep going. I think, for me, it’s not what you are producing but the fact that you don’t finish. I think it is important to be proud of what you do, but, you can only get a sense of accomplishment from completing what you start.
asstro
2018-01-31 22:03:43 +0000 UTCI really like the Power Girl comic you where doing, I'd really like to see more of that stuff. I'd like to see a comic of a skinny flat chested girl being turned into one of your bimbos.
Roy Rodgers
2018-01-31 22:03:14 +0000 UTCNope I completely agree, I draw interracial for the same exact reason: contrast. And I do hope you continue to draw interracial as well. What I meant by "anime girls" is like say chi chi or bulma from dbz, but draw them in your bimbo style. Or tsunade from Naruto. If you want, you could still draw them with black guys (which again, I think is hot) but its something to experiment with. Heck you could even go with futa (Dick girls), which is something I have debated to get into myself. As long as you have fun doing it pit I won't mind and I'm sure neither will others!

Jonathan Bravo
2018-01-31 21:56:46 +0000 UTCI followed your art from far back and I always thought you where getting better and better, I was really excited for the 3D stuffyou where doing.
Roy Rodgers
2018-01-31 21:56:44 +0000 UTCI was enjoying the animated comic a lot. It just seemed people wanted more than just the sketched animations. Apparently if it's not fully colored and inked like an anime it's not worth pulling your dick out.
Pit-erotic
2018-01-31 21:54:51 +0000 UTCWell, I'm here for the long haul, I've said it before and I'll reaffirm it. I look forward to seeing you draw what you would like to draw. Trying to please everyone is a sure way to become bitter. Lol. Do you and with your fans input, I hope you build something you like and can stck to, I'm with you all the way! =D
BloodFX
2018-01-31 21:54:37 +0000 UTCI think your drawing style is excellent. Your female designs are like evolved Jessica Rabbits. You just can't find it anywhere else. Maybe apply your style to different stories? Btw does this mean you weren't enjoying creating B-low busted and won't be finishing that story? I was really hoping to see those two having an animated fuck. Can you wrap up this era with that? Something pretty much a kin to the face fuck one?
Re-edit
2018-01-31 21:52:23 +0000 UTCI’m not in the art world but I am going though a crisis of my own too for the past year. I really hope you get through this not only as a fan of your content, but because it gives hope for others like me going through our own little crisis or burnout. I don’t want to force you into doing something you don’t want to do, and I know that whatever you decide to put out will be great. Not gonna lie though, I hope you don’t completely give up on interracial. A change up is in order because for me the race play and cuckolding gets a little old but I still love the concept and the look of interracial whether it was in your old style, bimbo, or realistic. I still understand that you may decide to move away from it or give it a break, but I hope it’s not the end.

2018-01-31 21:47:12 +0000 UTCThanks bud. Best of luck killing off that cynicism. Shit gets harder to overcome every year.
Pit-erotic
2018-01-31 21:40:32 +0000 UTCI agree. Maybe I'll get into WHY I was doing caricatures in the first place pretty soon. It should spark an interesting discussion.
Pit-erotic
2018-01-31 21:36:14 +0000 UTCI can't speak for everyone but I feel that the people that have stuck around are in it to the end man, I loved your style back then and I like the style now whatever you decide to do imma keep supporting, but yeah if you wanna try new things or stuck to your bread and butter just make sure your passion is in it, if you ever feel like your drawing a blank just ask us I'm sure everyone hear has something they want you to draw, but for real it'll all be good man just keep your head up.

2018-01-31 21:27:50 +0000 UTCI'm going to aim for weekly updates of some kind. Whether it's just a letter letting people know what's going on, what I'm working on or full blown pages/ paintings/ pinups/ sketches/ whatever. I'm going to force my self to AT LEAST say something.

2018-01-31 21:26:18 +0000 UTCGood luck with the reset. Perhaps more complex characters and fewer racist caricatures would be beneficial.
Joe Snuffy
2018-01-31 21:25:27 +0000 UTCYou need to see the future. The future of porn on the internet is Futanari. Also 3D. Animations are a must. Good luck.

2018-01-31 21:25:18 +0000 UTCDon't give up my dude. I was a harsh skeptic in the past but I can get why you're struggling. I hope you do stsrt a whole new chapter and I can't wait to see what new things you come up with. You can count on my pledge
Shep Tower
2018-01-31 21:22:23 +0000 UTCYou are not alone. I have literally gone through this all last month and then some. Oddly enough I reached a similar conclusion when Jacksonville lost to the Patriots. With that loss it dawned on me that I wasn't taking anytime to enjoy well anything in life. Football, art, whatever else was just another daily motion for me. I wasn't trying any new ideas nor was I inspired. I didn't like being like this. So I decided to change. I'm going back to the person I was 10 years ago. The guy who drew everything that came to mind and didn't care how he was perceived. It's a difficult journey to unlearn cynicism but for artists, it's necessary. So I wish you the best in your work and your future and if you ever need somebody to bounce ideas off, I'm Right here.

2018-01-31 21:20:39 +0000 UTCWhat’s up man, I haven’t really noticed a dip in your pledges... I guess that goes show that people aren’t really paying attention anymore. Us the consumer can guide you to a certain point but ultimately the route you take in your future work falls on you and your passion. I really wish you the best, but once a month updates isn’t gonna cut it (especially with your fans)... continue to have dialogue with your patrons, that plays a big role. Good luck.

2018-01-31 21:19:48 +0000 UTCWhile your particular established style is what I know and love, I'd never want to pressure you into getting stuck with it if it doesn't make you happy. I may not have been drawing much or for long yet, but I've also been creating Second Life snapshots before that for years and in both cases I know well that art takes inspiration and passion to be made. I adore your bimbo gals and enjoy the interracial kink stuff, but if you're not creatively satisfied with what you are currently doing then please feel free to spread your wings and try whatever you feel like. I'd like to support you for that. You've given me so much art to enjoy and inspiration as well and I wanted to give back for that from what little money I have. I want artists to be able to create and share that creativity.
Tamara S.
2018-01-31 21:18:25 +0000 UTCHonestly pit, I know exactly where you are coming from man. Art is a hard career path, because it requires time and mental energy (or imagination) to continue doing it. We all experience that burn out and or get tired of the same thing we continue to do. I'd say look at other peoples work, what do you see in their work that appeals to you and what you want to explore in your own work. I personally really enjoy your bimbo style, and have learned a lot from you, but if you want to go for another style or something new, I'm rooting for you. I really hope you don't end up leaving patreon because honestly, this is beneficial to all of us (both you and your fans) Maybe try drawing more anime girls in your sryle? I've found that to be the new craze these days. At the end of the day, so what you want. And I'll be eagerly awaiting to see what amazing works you produce.
RalDu
2018-01-31 21:15:36 +0000 UTCFuck that dude, of course I'm sticking about, I stumbled across you years ago on John Persons and it really kicked my arse (from the UK) into drawing more in every sense. I'm staying and look forward to whatever you feel like doing, I'd love to show you some of my doodles sometime, they are entirely inspired by your art after all. We got you. 💚
Stretch
2018-01-31 21:15:34 +0000 UTCWhatever the fuck you do, start and finish it please. Hate getting excited for works that never get completed.
Jacques Suttle
2018-01-31 21:15:26 +0000 UTCI've been following you since the first set of Jenny and Kitty pictures so yeah, your art style has drastically changed. I separate them into two time lines. And I dig both the more realistic and the cartoon like stuff. I only really have two complaints. The first is about the men. The horse dicks on them don't match with the cartoon look of the girls lately. It becomes a little ridiculous. They work with the more realistic stuff from earlier though. My other complaint is not finishing what you've started. A little more focus on currently running projects would help in a long run. I'm going to continue pledging because I like your work and it has always saved me money in the long term than when I pledged to John Persons website.
HyrulianWarrior
2018-01-31 21:14:11 +0000 UTCGood on you for it putting all out there. And just to chime in the change on art; please keep it 2d. I don't mind the 3d modeling posts but don't let that be your main creations
Nicoftime
2018-01-31 21:13:29 +0000 UTCThere are many other people in creative pursuits out there who understand what you're going through. You have my well-wishes and best hopes for the future and, I hope, those of anyone else who has at one time picked up a brush, or a pen, or a microphone, and taken this tiger by the tail. You're not alone, even *if* you don't communicate as much as you'd like, there's kinship among those who create, in any medium, and also those who view, enjoy and generously give so muses can be realized. Take your time and do what feels right.

2018-01-31 21:13:27 +0000 UTCI'm not going anywhere. Start showing us what you want to make. Throw some ideas out there.
Dregoth
2018-01-31 21:12:21 +0000 UTCYou do you man! Every artist has to go through that rut sometime or another. I won't cancel my pledge cause I simply like seeing your art, even if you might have stopped enjoying making it. This is honestly a little exciting! We get to see you work on what your interested in! Draw what makes you happy, and if that's porn or not, so be it. Explore genres and styles you've always wanted to try and never even thought of. I know it'll be ethier awesome, sexy, or both. Ethier way, I (and I'm sure many others) am behind you!
xbomp
2018-01-31 21:12:20 +0000 UTCGo for it, do art for yourself and that you like and not what others expect from you. If you improve/fail it will be doing something you like and enjoying it rather than hating it and feeling crap.
Danosaur
2018-01-31 21:11:07 +0000 UTCLook at it like this man, we pay because we want to see your work. Hell yeah we would like to see you do sequels off of your good stuff but at the end of the day we just want to see whatever you WANT TO create. Your style is really cool and people will always bitch and moan that you aren't doing the things that THEY want to see, but at the end of the day they will like whatever you put out. So just draw bro. People may have left now but they will come back to see your work!
