Okay. So...
... quite a while ago I opened a secondary account. The intent of it was just to draw some silly rule 34 stuff, and generally get away from being me. I wanted to get away from being known I guess, and not having what I draw be a reflection of me or this account. Not sure if that makes any sense, though. x3
Now there are some people close to me who I told about this account and knew it was me. And then I am sure there are also people who maybe guessed or suspected but didn't speak up. My style is a fairly difficult thing to hide, I guess XD
To try and avoid being connected to this account, there I dabbled in pretending to be a guy. I kinda started feeling bad with myself and generally uncomfortable with it (though I genuinely intended things as harmless) when people started hitting on me.
I'm an honest person and not comfortable with any sort of lies or deceit. Something that was meant to be an escape and a bit of fun quickly became something I really didn't want to do. So I didn't really post there much in the end.
I told myself if anyone caught on, and linked the two accounts as one person, that I would just straight up admit it. Eventually someone did and left a shout asking me about it. I didn't respond, but instead I deliberated over what I should do.
I have been thinking about this for a long time now. I am tempted to post the few images I did there, here. But honestly, I am also kind of scared of outing myself, as it were.
Question is, should I in fact post the images here and state what this old account was (and maybe I can use it as a second account for R34 after all)?

Sorry, I'm not taking commissions at this time.
IMO this is another example to why society needs to keep its jimmies from riding up (as well as examine why it happens in the first place).
One method I've seen people use is to mention on the profile of the alt account "I have another account, but I prefer to keep them separate. Note me if you'd like the name." or something like that. That way it doesn't get posted in public, but those who wanna find you still can.
(And if it means anything, I'd personally love to see your other account haha. I enjoy your art, whatever the subject matter!)
I didn't stumble upon that second account of yours yet, though, and enjoying your art, I definitely wouldn't mind you giving out its name. ;)
And well, when the time comes, I'll note you with the account :)
I'm still curious. =^_^=
I'd also continue to keep the accounts separate, since that's why you originally wished.
So, keep separate, continue to post to both, and carry on. :3
Though, I'd really like to know the other account. D:
as for pretending to be a guy.. heh. thats new. usualy guys pretent to be a girl..^^
One for mundane projects which should not have anything furry based on it and this account which your doing fine as is, you dont need to make another account in furry just to make another furry account ;) I dont see the point in people making two furry accounts, esp on sites like FA.
Ive got a site which is kinda like my portfolio which has no links to my FA or anything else, infact its under a completely different name which for me matters as I dont want my clients looking at furry artwork as it would steer them away ;)
As for if you should out yourself or not... tough call. I don't think anyone but you can decide. But there is clearly a lot of interest. :)
And you know, it's not shame to draw r34. Everyone has needs :P
So,.... yeah, your call. I didn't find this secret account of yours, I'm not going out looking after this either. Your stuff still rules, so I'll watch whatever it is I see (for this account) And like it!
At the end of the day the account itself wasn't a big deal, one porn image and one profile image and that was it. but still.
It may be I note interested people's with the account ^^
I'm intensely curious, I'd love to see X3
You will be just fine.
UV, as Tim Leary said, you can be anyone you want to be this time around. A corollary of that is that you can be as many bodies as you want to be this time around. (Happy 4/20!)
I'd love to see that art! If you PM me a link, I promise to keep it a secret on my word as a rocket scientist and aerospace weapons physicist - and we are thoroughly professional about keeping secrets. (From my point of view, a war in outer space is a hell of a lot less dangerous to humans and other critters than the traditional type.) Of course, I really don't expect a PM and won't feel slighted.
Your desire to be honest is admirable, but in your heart, I think that you would make a darn good guy, too. Sexuality is much more between one's ears than between one's legs; the latter is details. (My partner is female-to-male transgendered, and the details aren't a problem for either of us.)
Be true to yourself. Be true to yourselves. That is a huge part of what FA is for.
[1] The US used to do that automatically, current precedent is that it's possible but hard for a character to qualify. No characters have ever been ruled to meet the qualifications.
You shouldn't worry about what art you draw with the idea of some people maybe not liking what you drew. Personally, I think - as I've said before - you are a wonderful person and artist, and you should draw as you please, draw as your heart tells you to.
People hit on you just let them know you're unavailable.
now what 's the name on this account * beg beg
- Fennec
Plus posting things to just one account is easier to follow C=
If you don't feel okay with disclosing it, I second the note idea. I've seen a few artists do it with no problem. :>
And been there with presenting a male persona and having it get to that awkward stage. :c Years ago, I RPed in some groups that were pretty dismissive toward female players, so, instead of telling them to shove it and finding greener pastures, I let them assume I was a dude. It also got to the point where I was being hit on, and I felt so mired in that persona I just sidled off into the shadows.
I'm a fan of your work, R34 or otherwise, that won't change. I say do whatever suits you. Yay for freedom!
B I repeat, only if you feel fully comfortable doing so. :)
you worry to much :p that art was awesome anyways so it'll be right at home here!
IF there is a concern about "Being A Professional Artist" and having a second account with rule34 silliness and stuff... I'd suggest only telling people via a note.
i.e. DISNEY was considering hiring you but didn't want 'smut' being dragged out of the wood work as examples of 'your stuff', then yeah I'd keep both accounts separate
otherwise *shrugs* I don't see it being a big deal.
I understand wanting to keep that artwork on a seperate account since some of my viewers prefer my clean stuff over my porn, so thus I created an account to dump all my R+ material. It's a little bothersome but at the same time. more managerable for viewers, if that makes any sense X_x
However, I say that if you're uncomfortable sharing your R34 material or the account, then simply don't. Just be sure to be honest with your viewers and make them understand that you're a 'in character' personification, not that I'm saying you're not a real person or anything like that @_@ (feels like she's not making sense.)
All in all, what I'm trying to say is do what makes you happy and what you feels best for your heart, dear.
...But I sure would like to see this account of yours, though ;D Combinng your style with R34 just sounds epically awesome!
But if you're only partially there, don't do it. Don't do it with anxiety. Do it when you can look at that account and think "Eh. What was the big deal again?" because then you're ready.
If a few someones notes/shout you in the the meantime, then note them back on admittance and continue with the pace you're happy with.
Only thing you should fear is the world going into the sun. Other then that if people badly judge you then you can block them or make fun of them by drawing them in a way that would insult them.
Simple as that.
I've seen plenty of users around who have messages on their profiles plainly saying they do not accept others trying to roleplay or have a relationship.
So its not unusual to have different characters. I think many use it to think outside of their box or world. There is maybe something that gives a new look on things. And anonymity can give you eventually more room to experiment.
I would not worry to much.
I've seen several ppl with alt accounts for various reasons so I'm not really perturbed, tho I'm kinda curious now ;p
You should roll with your feelings on this one and do what you think is best I say
Alsooo, you need to be on Skype more ^v^
As such, please add me to the note list.
How close are you to your next donation benchmark? :3
