Thoughts... April 2024

I think writing out my thoughts will expose me to people who don't like my work and are working against me to "cancel" me. (Might just be all in my head, but gah damn I feel it!) You come to read my smutty creations, not read a wall of text lol. But fuck it! I think it'll be good to get this off my chest and fill you guys in like old times. And trust is a two way street. Time I give my trust back to y'all.

Sorry, for the slow content updates. It's been stressful lately. Taxes, family, growing older, my personal struggles, not being where I want to be in life. I have this feeling like time is running out to fulfill this dream. I want to earn a decent living doing this, but it's been getting so hard. I have no one to blame but me for my shortcomings. I know it's possible to make a good income if I created content consistently.

Some of you might not know why I left Patreon. By now, you might know why some of your favorite creators aren't welcomed there anymore. Fictional characters have to consent. Pretty much half of my work had to be purged. I tried to make it work by creating "consent" content there and put all my work here on SubscribeStar. But decided against that since my heart wouldn't be in it. Also, I wanted to make possession content which I heard isn't welcomed on Patreon.

The consent rule is stupid for fictional works. We're all adults. I'm sure we all know the importance of consent in real life.

And did you hear of Gumroad's recent policy removing NSFW completely. I was really hoping to use them as an alternative for the long run, but that didn't last long... (Gosh, feels like someone is really out there trying to stop me!)

It feels like an uphill battle with the Internet having less safe places for adult content.

I am incredibly grateful to be on SubscribeStar where I can have more creative freedom. However, I can't shake this uncertain feeling.

I'm really trying my best to embrace what I do. My future work will be diving deeper on the dark side of things. It's not a reflection of me or my values. I think it'll drive some of you guys away given the themes' innate characteristics. This is the way.

I have some things to take care of before I can get back into full gear and crank out renders for Spooky Island. I'll do my best to complete a chapter of the series before the end of the month so you guys can enjoy something for April.

I know some of you are also probably disappointed about "The Substitute 01 Miss Clarice" comic. I'll have been thinking of picking it up again, but making it mine instead of being a direct copy of the inspiration. Sorry to my skinsuit lovers for letting you down by not completing it. (I am very confident in my skinsuit skills now! Rest assured I have not forgotten you guys!)

Tutorials? What happened to those? Hrm... I think I'll get back into doing those. I think it'll be a net positive to have more creators if they are shown the way. Its something I wished I had help when starting out.

I know... I know... If I shared my method, then everyone is going to know now. "When everyone is super, no one will be." -Sun Tzu  (jk, the quote is from Syndrome, The Incredibles.) BUTT!!! This is for the greater good! Competition breeds innovation. (Healthy competition 🥰) My hope is that this will push what we can create to be of higher quality.

I have great things in mind for 2024.

Thank you for your trust and support in me. :)
