I'm Deleting All my Kristina Sequences
Added 2021-03-30 23:07:36 +0000 UTCI have one final update for the time being.
For a while, my friend Kristina has been modelling for several works of mine, ranging from comics to sequences to one-off pieces. But after some time to reflect, I have decided I am peronally not okay with keeping them up anymore.
Basically, I'm taking down all of my artwork involving Kristina. I was planning on waiting until I got a response from her before doing so, but I'm better off just taking them down now and explaining why after the fact.
Kristina may be an adult, older than me even, but she is not mentally mature and I fear she cannot properly understand what my art is made and intended for. Looking back, I feel terrible for involving her, because I've been her friend for years, and yet, I used her for this. It's true that other artists have worked with her as well for similar ideas and projects, but not to the scale, scope or risque nature as mine. Kristina and I make vastly different content, and I believe the right thing to do is sever ties with her on this profile and on DevaintArt.
I want to make more adult content, but I don't want to do that using a friend who may not be able to consent to that. With that, I need more time to reflect upon my actions here, so I will be taking a hiatus from Patreon until further notice. I still have commissions and the wheel to work on, so I will have to keep them moving forward, but to everyone who is subscribed to me, I will be pausing April's billing.
Finally, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for setting a terrible example. I'm sorry for using someone I've called my friend for many years. I'm sorry to the people close to me who feel like they have to worry about me and my choices. And I'm sorry to my friends and family. I'm ashamed of myself.
I am going to do what I can to set things right. I am better than this, but I can't just say that. I have to make difficult changes and own up to my mistakes to be a better person.

It's better this way so there is no backlash in the future
