I'm having some troubles making it work the way I want. I think kink wise it's probably one of the craziest pieces i've made so far x) I'll get back to the other stuff soon enough. I've just been having my fun with it haha

WIP - Preggo #3

Hmmm.. Big question. I think the best answer would be that it's a bit of everything. I think that needs a bit of context to reply. During highschool, I had a cinema class for which I had to create a short movie with friends. We weren't good in acting, so we decided to make an animated movie. I couldn't draw, but I still wanted to help, my friends and I didn't have a drawing tablet, so I asked my father if I could have one, and he accepted (a basic one you know, those ones without a screen). And because my father gifted me that, I didn't want it to go to waste. I started learning how to draw for the movie, but also for myself, because I wouldn't have liked to never use that tablet anymore after the movie. So at the time, I didn't have anyone following me. I drew whatever I wanted to draw. It wasn't NSFW, I drew characters, that's what I preferred to draw (and what I still prefer to draw). Sometimes it was a little bit questionable, I tended to draw my characters with bigger assets. But they never were naked or anything. Time goes on, I continue to draw a bit, and I start wanting to do more. I write a comic, and I start working on that around COVID time. I have fun, I am making a story about characters, and it's fun to see them evolve. I think that by then I understand that I like creating a context around my drawings more than just the drawing, having a little story with it. Though I still want to get better at drawing. I ended up never finishing that comic, even though I still have made 80 pages of it, mainly because I wanted to get better at drawing. When I was doing the comic, I was doing it as fast as possible, so obviously I was cutting corners, and it was even worse than my actual level in drawing at the time. So I started to spend more time trying to actually draw. Some friends wanted to as well, so we started participating to Inktober52 (one drawing every week during the whole year). I continued for a long time until I wanted to try doing comics again. Which I did, I created a story for Karen. I made 3 pages and then stopped lol. And not long after that I got interested in actually drawing NSFW stuff. I used to RP with an AI kind of bot at the time, and I really enjoyed it. But it was a bit limited. It was scary to me, but I decided to join a discord server to start RP-ing with actual humans. But I didn't want to do it under my name my friends know, so I created a new discord account and such. But because I needed refs, I drew stuff for my characters. Only Karen at first. And that's when I started drawing NSFW stuff, created my social media accounts and such. I was very interested in drawing these things when this happened. It was new, and I was allowing myself to draw my fantasies, so it was giving me energy to do things. I kinda of started to play the game of social media as well, probably a bit against myself to be honest. And slowly I started to doubt about my abilities to do good stuff. But I still continued. I still liked it, despite feeling a bit down about it sometimes. Time passes and I get more followers and such, and now it adds a bit of a pressure on me. Will I manage to do stuff people will still like? I was still searching what I actually wanted to draw, if you look at my older stuff from 2022-2023 it's not completely defined what I wanted to draw, what themes I wanted to draw, I mean. Then I decided to draw almost everyday after I got my degree, and that's where it started to explode a bit in terms of numbers. I put in my head that it can become my job, and that stresses me out, on top of other personal stuff happening at the time. In 2024 it's quite rough for me. I get noticeably better at drawing, I start 3D-ing, animating, I start getting money for my thing through commissions and Patreon, but I don't feel very good. I am somehow feeling like I'm not good enough. So I am kind of trying to make art for other at the time, until I just kind of give up, and not do anything for a few weeks. I take some steps back, and I slowly get back to it, and here we are now. Sorry for the essay about my life lol. I don't think all the information there is useful to understand the opinion I am going to give now, but eh x) To reply to your question, I think it is indeed a bit of everything you say nowadays. The proportion was different before, given everything I said. But I definitely started drawing NSFW because I was interested in it. And I will be honest with you, I think it freed me too. Allowing myself to do that, to let myself out on my love for that kind of thing, freed me a bit, and I am glad I did. I liked seeing those things, and now I am doing stuff on my own. I am proud in that sense. I am proud that now some people see my things and are looking at my stuff the way I was looking at others' stuff. Because I want this to be my job, yes, of course I'm doing it for the public now, to please you guys. But it's the rule of the game, isn't it? It just happens that you guys found me, and I really really like doing what you really really like watching. But of course as a creator at some point you get a bit low on inspiration when you only do one thing. So that why sometimes I end up going into kinks that I am less used to draw. Like this current piece for example. Those are things I enjoy, less than what I draw all the time, but I still enjoy it, and sometimes I need that freshening to continue wanting to do what I want. Keep in mind too that having constraints sometimes is good. Having to do stuff, having to post them makes it so I can't really be lazy. And I think that's a good thing to some extent. I still have some troubles limiting my behaviour one way or another, but that's something I will learn for sure. I don't think I would have been better at drawing if I just did stuff only for myself. Wanting more followers and such made me surpass myself. I will end up saying that I am interested in drawing what I draw. I would never draw something I have absolutely no interests in. And that's why having people following me for what I like to draw on Patreon is such a big deal. It allows myself to know that I can do what I want, and people will still mostly be happy with it.

Bit of a more "artist behind the art" question. When you do projects like this, is this created under the intent of kink or desire. Like, is it just because it's hot or is this more of an outlet for wants that you wish upon yourself? A lot of artists tend to lean towards the art of the craft and keep most personal representations to themselves, but there's always the other group who either create because they love to or create to satisfy an urge to see or partake in the Art's topic. I know a few who'd love nothing more than to be part of their works for it represents their personal fantasies. I'd like to know where you fall with your work. Do you create for the sake of it? Do you create for pride of the craft? Do you create for kinks? Do you create for yourself? Or do you create for your desires? In short, are you making this for us or for you? This question is mostly as an attempt to know more about you and your creative process.

My stance might be clear already, but I also say keep going crazy xD
