Recent September Report
🕑 Added 2023-09-09 10:27:20 +0000 UTCI'd like to report on how I've been doing recently...
The recent situation has been quite rough, especially on the emotional front due to ongoing conflicts with someone (the unavoidable kind). It has led to several clashes recently, causing me to lose control over my emotions and breakdown to the point of tears and melancholy. This has significantly affected my motivation for drawing. Just when I start feeling a bit better, another argument arises, making me feel quite down again. This has been my recent experience, a rollercoaster of emotions. I'm trying to climb out of the emotional valley, but just as I stabilize, I find myself falling back into it repeatedly. So, recently, I haven't had the mood to draw, especially those intricate, narrative-driven pieces that involve complex ideas like the Frogman series. But my mind is a jumble, making it impossible to organize them. For now, I can only mechanically produce simpler, non-narrative artworks as they are less mentally taxing and I can cope with them slowly.
After entering October, I will be going on a trip that will likely consume the entire month. So, right now, I'm trying to see if I can complete two pieces of work for October during this September. I hope that this October trip will be a chance for emotional healing and stability, and by November, I can return to a better state of mind.
I'd like to discuss the issue regarding Patreon. After all, most subscribers are here primarily for adult content, so I can understand that many have unsubscribed due to this change. Based on the advice I've received from various experienced individuals, implementing a verification system seems feasible. However, my current desire to continue creating adult content is very low. Honestly, I'm quite fond of my "poster" series now. It allows me to peacefully depict the human body without the sexual elements. I think I will continue with this approach on Patreon for a while.
So, in conclusion, in the near future, and even after returning from my trip in November, I don't plan to return to the previous mode of creating explicit adult content. However, I have considered the possibility of creating content that doesn't explicitly cross the line into adult territory, such as drawings of various anime-style muscular men engaging in regular fitness activities (workout) or images of them undergoing ab training sessions (gutpunch). These may not fall into the category of explicit adult content, and I might explore these creative avenues.
However, I do plan to open a Fanbox in November, despite the changes on Patreon. That platform will still feature adult content and can be seen as a fresh start. I'm quite interested in Fanbox and want to give it a try. My current idea for running Fanbox is to keep it as simple as possible. The content I create there may also become simpler, with an emphasis on removing the narrative elements. I might produce one image a month and add some simple variations. The quality of the artwork might not be as spectacular as before because my previous works often involved complex storytelling and interconnected ideas (like several fetish play mixed together). Sometimes, I would add many extra pages to make the entire Term image set more complete. However, recently, I've found it challenging to manage, and it's very time-consuming. I need to allocate my time to learn new skills, especially animation techniques. I'm really hoping to acquire some animation skills to make my artwork come to life.
Currently, I still owe Term60, 61, and 62 and haven't completed them yet. For Term61 and Term62, I have provided some partial artwork to those who have already subscribed. Term60 has been a bit unfortunate as I've only released one piece so far. Therefore, I will try to create an additional main page artwork for Term60 to ensure that those who subscribed early won't feel too disappointed.
That's all I wanted to say. Thank you all for your support.
