Updates

Hey, folks. It seems like no matter what kinds of plans I make, I'm  always forced or inspired to go in another direction, so I'm not really  sure what the point of these posts are, but here's one anyway.

Commissions
First  thing's first, I may have to go on extended hiatus with commissions  again. There are a number of factors that have me on edge lately and I  want to see how things play out before I continue moving at the same  pace. If you're one of the three people currently on the commission list,  then don't worry, I'll still complete yours. For everyone else, I'm  sorry, but I feel like I have to play a waiting game before I can commit  to commissions again.

I'm truly grateful to everyone who's commissioned me and everyone who wants to commission me, I wish I was more consistent.

Art direction
This  one is another matter of walking an undesired path. You've probably  seen multiple artists make posts about their content being taken down,  or even people getting suspended or banned. Long story short, supposedly  it has to do with recently-passed bills pertaining to sex workers,  rather than general NSFW content. Regardless, sites seem to be taking  overly-precautious measures to avoid any legal issues. Unfortunately,  I'm not educated on the matter, so I can't say more than that. All I  know is that sites are cracking down and content creators are taking  hits.

So, what's this mean for my art?  Well, hopefully nothing, but hope doesn't make a tangible difference. To  be on the safe side, I might start shifting more towards SFW content,  at least when it comes to commissions and/or posting on DA. There are so  many uncertainties that I just don't have a well-thought-out answer  right now though. I'll still draw kinks and squishy girls, but you might  start seeing more fully-clothed ladies and/or censored pics from me for  a while. We'll have to see how things go.

Patreon
The  one saving grace in all of this is that I'm steadily gaining support on  Patreon each month. Honestly, there's a good chance I might have to  focus solely on building up my Patreon to be my main (or only) income  source. I feel like I'm split between too many things at the moment and  they're all suffering for it (Patreon, commissions, personal content,  gifts for friends, etc.).

I've already  started up a monthly OC comic, but I might start doing more OC stuff in  general. Despite how much attention characters from popular franchises  get, I haven't had any attachment to most of them in years. I don't play  those games, I don't watch the shows, I usually just don't care aside  from "hey, that chick is kinda hot". And, whenever I do have a fun idea,  I'm usually torn between getting the easy views or actually giving my  OCs some attention and building them up into something people want to  see.

Me
What  about me and my depressed-ass...ass? Well, Metapod used Harden. I don't  know how much worth my words have when all I do is repeatedly refuse to  let people get close or help me, but I appreciate the comments, notes,  advice, and well-wishes.

That being said, I deal with things in my own  way, for better or worse. Maybe some day I'll change, but for now,  that's the only defense I've got.
