Momo Velia Deviluke (PLEASE READ)
🕑 Added 2025-01-10 15:48:15 +0000 UTCI love this character.
You’ve probably noticed by now, but my favorite characters are all pretty similar (Arima Kana, Nakasu Kasumi, Nakano Yotsuba, Momo Deviluke, etc). I really only have one type of girl.
I’ve wanted to draw her for a long, long time.
But I wanted to make a proper sex scene.
I’m running into a creative problem. The drawings that do best on social media—and the ones I see and think, “I should do something like this”—are usually simpler, like a girl on a white background.
But I’m worried that’s not “enough.”
I know that sex scenes are what you want to see the most, and I personally love the challenge since they’re more complex. But they take me forever. On average, 8 to 12 hours of creative work. And I end up burnt out. That’s why I’m often more inactive than I’d like.
Those of you who’ve worked with me on commissions know that if an idea doesn’t excite me enough, the process becomes tedious, and I don’t enjoy it.
So when I know I’m going to spend 12 hours on a single drawing, I take too long to settle on the idea. Sometimes days.
That’s also why some drawings clearly have more effort put into them than others.
For this one, it only took me 3 hours. I loved the result so much, and I felt so little burnout, that I even made secondary versions as a little nod to a (potential) future version.
I really like how it turned out, but at the same time, I wish I’d drawn more of this character. More poses, or maybe something more complex.
I tried doing this with Arima Kana before—lots of “simple” and quick drawings—but at the same time, I feel bad if one drawing takes me too long because there are so many characters I want to draw (or need to draw for the monthly polls).
I’m not sure what to do. Maybe the best thing would be to make more “simple” drawings for social media and, if I have time, upload a sex scene to Patreon here and there.
I’d really love to hear your thoughts, especially from those of you who’ve supported me month after month and stuck with me through this creative journey I started 4 years ago.

I love Momo so I'm glad you got do draw her. Also in favor of more simple drawings if it keeps you from burning out.

Good lord, she was my favorite when I read that manga! I welcome simpler drawings, especially if that's what keeps your fire burning without burning you out.

I personally prefer something like this. (Great job btw, this turned out very nice) More "simple" drawings sound good to me, and if that's what works better for you then I say go for it. I certainly don't want to see you burn yourself out.
