A moment of self awareness
10 years ago
moment's ago I faved an image that I quite liked from
draggincat, it conveyed fast motion quite well and overall just found the image visually appealing and inspiring. naturally afterwards I examined the artist's page, going through his work and favorites, he's an incredible artist, though one thing that made me worry a little was the fact that he seemed to be into no fetishes.
Why is that a problem? well it's nothing on him, but on me. I'm worried that he'll see me on the list of faves, see my gallery, and think "ick, one of those freaks in the community faved this, he probably wants to do THAT to this character, ugh..." and This isn't the first time I've had this concern.
Though I predominately do inflation art here, I am a genuine artist on the side with a vested interest in improving my technique and going into the fields of animation, but people are not going to see that here, so I'm often concerned that if I find artists here with great talent, they may actively avoid me because of all of this.
hell, those that know me well enough know that I take inflation art as serious business to a degree, as I do my absolute best to convey volume with the inflated forms I draw.
I dunno, maybe it's just me being needlessly paranoid.

So, relax. I doubt he actually thinks poorly of you if he's actually looking through your gallery. If nothing else, your fetishes certainly aren't the worst thing he could come across on this site.
Besides, if you draw a fetish, chances are someone is getting off from it and you can't exactly tell a person to stop jerking off to what you draw.
And even then, who's to say you're the first they've met who's into inflation here? We're pretty common here. IF they noticed your inflation-based profile, you wouldn't stand out enough to garnish a thought either.
Sorry if I'm sounding cruel with my words, I just can't thnk of a better way to word it. Just know that I share mutual feelings with you, trust me.

Also remember that there are people out there famous and loved for worse stuff.
So favorite all kinds of stuff. Your tastes will look more well-rounded. Why do you think I'm still active on deviantArt?
