October | Blog

I still don't have much to say this month, so this one will also be short.

As mentioned previously, the vacation mode will end at the start of next month, so payments and requests will resume. The Super Nightmare ($32) tier will be disabled for another month or so before I re-enable it. Currently, I am attempting to sketch some commissions I've received and finish a few more old requests. I will probably lump the older request source files into a post after I get more of them done.

In the future (probably next year), I am currently considering retiring the Super Hard ($14) and Super Nightmare ($32) tiers and moving it completely to the previously used "Extra Requests" function (The Google Form Requests) I did before to give others a chance at getting those tier requests. I am not completely sure if I will though, but if I decide to I will mention it again.

Thank you for the support.

September | Blog

I'm still slowly working on the backlog when I feel like it. Next month will continue to be a subscription pause as planned and should resume payment in November. I mostly wanted September to be personal projects time, so in October I will dial it back a bit so I can finish the backlog.

Dad's Health:

The doctors have decided to go through with the surgery next year around January. Supposedly. He's been doing fine so I'll probably stop with this section for a while.

Other:

I was thinking about not posting the blog for the month since I had so little to say that I haven't already said previously, but I eventually figured I should at least continue with posting it anyway. I've been drawing a lot of Dandy's World (and adjacent) things recently to fill the void. I can't draw everything I want, but I can get away with very odd things, so it's something at least.

Thank you for the support.

August | Blog

As mentioned previously, I will be deleting all of my NSFW and "borderline" images from my galleries on the 28th (delayed a few days due to various circumstances). The folders marked as "to purge in August" are mostly accurate, but I might remove more as a precaution, so save everything you like. Apologies for the delays on drawings, I've been in stuck in a loop since I learned about the bill where I keep switching between the two states of "why bother, I need to delete this later anyway" and "draw out of spite anyway, the bill will definitely get blocked because the wording is too broad".

Next month in addition to October, I will be temporarily suspending payments on SubscribeStar to give myself time to catch up and take a small break. Requests will be suspended until November, but commissions will remain open. I wanted to have a catchup month earlier, but due to the whole bill situation, I had decided to give more time for NSFW requests to come in. I've felt like I was going to explode for a while. I also start college classes for the semester today, so we'll see how that goes in terms of time spent.

July | Blog

Since August is the month I will be deleting my NSFW artwork (around the 20th), I will have to ask that going forward, all references for requests should be SFW only. In a reference context, I am pretty sure featureless breasts are OK, so if possible, delete all nipples. I am also running a follower poll to gauge interest in a change to the $5 tier. https://subscribestar.adult/posts/1974080

Currently, I am trying to finish these comic commissions and the last of the NSFW requests. Next month I will do a final NSFW sketch poll. (Newer) Requests will take a backseat as I try to finish up any loose NSFW ends (commissions, requests, personal images etc.), and September with possibly October will be SubscribeStar break months for catchup purposes. I'll probably be extremely annoyed all September.

Odaibako | This is like a blog post I guess (it's too long for most websites)

"Your artstyle is very cool! How did you come up with it? Did you use any inspiration from other creators/media when you came up with it?"

Thanks. My artstyle is derived from taking elements of things I find cute and mashing them together, and the ease of editing that simpler colors/aliased lines provide. I should probably provide some extra context, my progression was very…nonstandard. This might be long; you can jump to the end of this novel if you want a shortened version.

June | Blog (DR Comic [moved] + SubscribeStar Break in September + Opinions)

This blog post contains opinions, so once again, viewer discretion is advised.

As a reminder: Starting next month I will no longer be accepting new NSFW requests / commissions. Apologies in advance if it feels I become a bit insane in what I'll accept; an insane law will require me to become insane in turn. Aside from some obvious things like "female presenting nipples" and genitalia being banned, I'd rather not risk it too deeply with things like bulges of any kind. Featureless breasts might be fine in some cases, but for the most part please try to avoid it. I would like to think I can get away with featureless breasts if it's considered skin-tight-clothing...so try to make me draw latex outfits more often. My artwork is made easy to edit on purpose, so you could probably just change the color and delete a line or two to make it actually naked, lol.

There's currently no visible change in how things are going, so I'll continue with the purge plans around August. The law was accepted by the governor, so the only option left is for the SCOTUS to block it. I will post a catbox archive of my NSFW artwork (including source files) around that time and keep the link visible until around the end of August. I'm still unsure what I'll do with some of my accounts. I wanted to follow accounts on my primary bluesky account, but I might purge my following and favorites list on there and re-follow them on my lurker account. Not every website has a disable account feature that lasts indefinitely, so I'm still thinking about the best course of action for Twitter (disable lasts 30 days then it deletes), which I'll probably just delete all the NSFW material and unfavorite everything since I didn't really follow anyone on that account except for DM purposes, so the switch will be less painful. Going forward, I might relegate all future following / favoriting to my lurker account(s) so I don't feel extreme pain when needing to disable it because a law that had no thought put into it was accepted.

In September, I plan on taking a SubscribeStar break for catchup purposes, though I might make it 2 months depending on various factors. I am feeling a bit fatigued with everything going on this year. Forgive me if I start working on non-subscriber requests much more frequently next month, I have a bit of a list of characters I wanted to give boobs (maybe even a penis) for a while before it becomes illegal due to vague notions like vibes.
