Content?
Added 2021-11-15 13:13:49 +0000 UTCI'm struggling a bit with the content I want to output. I've always done images/stories but looking back I can't help but feel that some stories deserved a lot more attention/details and more images to support the story. At the same time I know that focusing too much on one story might turn off other fans/supporters since they're not getting what they want to see/read.
I feel like I'm not growing much as an artist anymore when it comes to artwork. Hence, I figured maybe its better to focus on the actual content more and create higher quality stuff. Quality as in: more images going along with the story/comics, illustrating the situation with more details. Stuff actually worth re-reading or rewatching when you're in the mood. However, as said before, this also means there will be less variation in stories throughout a month.
It's not something I've already decided on. I just can't figure out anymore where to go now. In a strange way I look around the art landscape and see some artists still grow while applying the exact same formula for every image. However, I see my own numbers dropping more and more with each month. It creates this dark cloud of what the future might (the voice in my head tells me I'm dying as an artist even though my numbers are still growing).
With the poll on deviantart I realized a large part of my community loves to see dark/bad endings when it comes to bondage related content (https://www.deviantart.com/lerra22/poll/I-like-images-stories-that-have-8072857).
I can't put a poll here on pixiv but I'm kinda assuming the numbers are about the same. Maybe, I should focus a bit more on bad endings instead of the lovey/dovey stuff with a semi good ending or a loving relationship involved. After all, I can't keep creating stuff that doesn't attract new people or makes any money. I put a lot of time in this (its actually my main job right now) and in some ways I feel like I'm failing.
Don't get me wrong, I grow a little bit each month (that's what my follower numbers say at least..). I just feel as if its not good enough or something. (since the numbers of likes/favorites seem to drop more and more as time passes by). I'm not talking about the fanbox likes (you guys are amazing really!) but when I look at other profiles (deviantart/pixiv) I can definitely see a stagnation in likes/favorites despite more and more people signing up/watching/following my work.
I'm currently putting too much time and work in the game I'm making. I'm very motivated to finish it since I've already put so much work and time in it and I really want to show something now but I can't forget what has brought me this far: Stories, artwork and your support. I will post a new game update in a week or so but right now, I'm working on 2 new images and a story going along with it.
Just out of curiosity and for the sake of my own profile/content: What do you guys think? Should I switch content around? Do something different entirely? Or is there a story/image that specifically brought you to my profile? Let me know in the comments below. (this post is open for everyone, trolls will be deleted).

Personally I'm more of a wait till the end of the month and download the care package that comes with the every great surprises. I'll always hold out for more Georgie but alas I think I'm quite a minority :) ... Anyway keep your chin up and keep on rolling.

2021-11-17 11:07:18 +0000 UTCin truth, the bondage first caught me, but when I started reading the content and the stories that went with it... that's when I decided to stay and enjoy it all. As for what to do.. I'd think why not try a little of each.. switch a little, then do something different that you've wanted to do.. kinda get a feel for which makes you feel really good and go from there.. we love what you do and will try hard to continue to encourage your creativity.

2021-11-17 04:52:47 +0000 UTCIf you feel like stretching your legs, why don't you look to other bondage stories on the internet? Making art that follows other stories will speed things up on your output, and give you freedom to draw new subjects/alter how you draw things. Then you can take a little more time to develop your game(I'm super excited to see more of that!). I look forward to hearing more about your art adventures!

2021-11-16 18:46:25 +0000 UTCI like your work but I think that the pic plus word document is a bit cluncky. The stories and art are good to be clear, but not being able to see both at the same time is a down side. I am not sure if it would work but have you thought about using a caption format? Project_Legion does captions with stories some of which run several pics and some of those are the same pic or very similar. I am sure what ever you chose will work well.

2021-11-15 21:02:06 +0000 UTCI never comment usually but seeing this post, i'd say don't worry too much about that. We followers choosed to support you because your images are uniques and neets in they on way. Each time i see a new image, i tell to myself: that's the stuff! The way you draw ballgag and ponygirl is so sexy too.
2021-11-15 21:00:48 +0000 UTCI'd suggest you do not hyper-focus on any one thing. Especially if it's what a poll suggests/just to please the majority of your followers. Bad endings can be fun, but I've seen other creators focus too hard on bad-ends only, and it gets kinda dark and attracts people who demand darker and darker stuff... so... anyway, the most important thing is to stay motivated and I've found that motivation comes from enjoying what you do. So stay true to yourself, follow your own interests, and you'll have a durable following. I think the game is a FANTASTIC idea--hopefully you give it room to grow, and over time you can turn it into something that has content which appeals to everyone.
2021-11-15 20:16:30 +0000 UTCI'm watching your Artworks since maybe 2 years and I loved nearly all of them :) If I had to pick a favourite it would be your 403 Series. Those where great! Keep up the good work. The Long stories are also very good, but I would sprinkle them scarce. Sorry for bad english.
2021-11-15 19:52:49 +0000 UTCTube images is what I first fell in love with.... the rest is good but I wouldn't mind if every image had a tube in it... especially tubes with a more... dirty contents ๐

2021-11-15 19:48:12 +0000 UTCI'm relatively new to your content but I'm staying because I really like the stories accompanied by a image which helps me know what to imagine. Didn't even know about the game but I'm excited to see it finished.
2021-11-15 19:06:03 +0000 UTCWas a follower while you were on patreon but had to cancel due to a jealous gf, then after a year searched you out and followed again on here. Personally I was excited to read you were making a game and am looking forward to seeing more of it! As for art/stories I typically only read the stuff that's already a part of the picture, only checking out the documents when I'm in the mood for more detail that pictures can't provide. But when I do check then out they're great. Don't know if that's much help but wanted to give my thoughts anyway. Keep up the great work!
2021-11-15 18:00:47 +0000 UTCMegan / Stephanie are your unique characters! Do not forget about them!
2021-11-15 15:58:03 +0000 UTCI signed up because you started working on the game. I have been watching your work for 2 years now, and it is because of the game that I financially support you! There is not a lot of money and it was a very difficult choice of many authors, such as: ZHC, Rosvo, Re-Maker and others.
2021-11-15 15:51:37 +0000 UTCWhilst seeing these ladies bound and tied is fun and all, I personally like the added stories to give them more personality. Having a little background behind each character really goes a long way with some of these scenarios, especially in those scenes of more powerful characters getting their comeuppance ;) You do great work, and I'll be happy to see where you go next <3

2021-11-15 14:39:04 +0000 UTCI'm sort of new to your art, but I love just about every piece, especially if accompanied by dialogue (or monologue) where the charming bondagette has got herself into the predicament, and now she's stuck (lost key; work related; turns out her girlfriend or co-workers or neighbor is/are devious and mischievous). I'd be happy to write for you so that you can concentrate on the art. See my story, Preparations for Afternoon Tea, to give you an idea of my quality and imagination. Don't be discouraged. Your art and the imaginative details of erotic humiliation are so cute. suzettelasoubrette@pm.me
2021-11-15 14:33:53 +0000 UTCMaybe I should go back to those two more often (I felt people were getting sick/bored of them). But I've also seen similar comments where people specifically ask for Megan/Stephanie stuff so... :O (Plus I don't do tubes often to avoid too much cum/scat eating stories.) Glad you like it still csig. It does actually help knowing people like the stuff I create so... Thank you :)
