I have to change things up :\
7 years ago
Hey FA community, I've been struggling for quite some time...
I feel like, to you all, this community, I haven't been totally honest. Those who really know me, can see where my heart lies. Yes I think furries are cute and like drawing them, of course I love cute thicc girls and love drawing them. However, it's my living, and my inability to socialize and post lately I think is a result of my heart not really being in this as it used to.
What I want to be doing as an artist, for a career, isn't porn. I need to break into industry, and create, it's what I've always wanted to do, and I feel like, I've spent so much time and effort on commissions here because, I think you guys are awesome. I mean, a community that actually appreciates the hard work we put into our art and is willing to support these artists? How can you pass that up?
As time goes on, life keeps getting harder, adding responsibilities that I've slowly been falling behind on being able to keep up with. So what do I do? Charge more, keep doing the art I like but am not thrilled to work on but charge more? Or chase my dreams? I feel like I've become so damn reliant on commissions that I can't leave. So many fucking great people supporting me, how can I abandon them?
I don't intend to disappear, but I do want to move onto something great that I can be remembered by my family, my kids, shit that's so fucking rad and crazy, pushing myself further than I thought I could go. To do that, I can't live the double life, I suck at this. I am going to be devoted to getting that career I've been dreaming about for over a decade now. I feel like I have the skills now, but I really gotta create and put myself out there with the right amount of energy.
So what the hell am I going to do? Well I think right now what's best is to slowly finish up the few outstanding commissions I have, and continue to get Patreon art out. I don't think I'd ever leave you guys fo-real really. I do need to be more real to myself and my family for the future.
This isn't a goodbye, but I do want to thank everyone who have supported me over the years. Ya know how to make an artist feel appreciated, seriously, thank you!

Draw porn if you want too later, but those dreams and that desire to go further is definitely what you should focus on.
Best wishes and good fortune to you!
Like, get that career going, spread your time out. Make up a ratio for work to pr0nz, like 60/30, I'unno.
I do believe there's compromise to be had, be it that way or another, especially if everyone gets to enjoy the good stuff in the end.
Glad to hear you got such a nice opportunity though, golly.
I'm just tossing positive vibes à la bob ross now wtf ok goodnight
Gotta do what makes you happy.
I believe in you bud and just keep on being the awesome you whereever you go and whatever you decide to do.
Mostly if you spread your art out to gaming communities as well, or advance with other ways through your art.
Always aim high, bruh~ Can't wait to see where you get to. q3q
Get on Artstation. Best thing you can do is start to saturate yourself with industry-quality art and soon your skills will adapt to those needs, making breaking out much easier. Might be a good idea to get on that with a different username as well.
This is a means to get by until you get the snag for something better, and after that you do it when you want. But if you've got your hooks too far set in here that it's slowing you down, you've got too many eggs in the wrong basket. Time to pull some out. Risk it a little bit, and this'll be here if you want it when you come back.
I hope everything works out; go for your dreams and do not regret a thing.
Especially if it's what you want for your future.
Best of luck with that, TFD.
Stay Burnin'!
now i feel bad for not getting a commission when i had the chance though. ah well.
Also why is everyone acting like you are leaving?
Good luck to you on your new endeavor. I hope it works out.
It's the same loop for most artists that do porn.
Hell even those that consider them selves full time porn artists get tired of just doing porn at a later age.
Even porn stars get tired at some point.
Life is more then sexual arousal (I don't think I need to spell that out for anyone to be honest).
Go out. Have fun. Find your career, your needs, and come back to this anytime on your spare time (if you desire to).
No need to make it a downer announcement like you've committed some sort of crime.
