Please consider supporting my work!
Posted 5 years agoHi there.
I hope you have been enjoying the current series so far. It's going to be longer than the previous ones, so there's still quite a ways to go. I'm looking forward to working on more of it after my hand and arm have gotten a chance to rest.
But of course, I need to be able to get by in order to produce those works. While commissions are nice, they also require a lot of time that I could be using to produce more story content-- content my followers seem to enjoy a lot more. Unfortunately, this means I can't produce this content without support from people like you, and a little help can really go a long way. As much as I hate spamming this everywhere I have a very hard time getting my name out there, so please take a moment to consider supporting my work through Patreon or Ko-fi Gold, or donating through Ko-fi or FA if you enjoy my work.

I work very hard to make my personal/story content and pay my bills and expenses. If you enjoy it, perhaps consider showing your support so I can continue to do so.

I've got a stalker.
Posted 6 years agoLife is interesting.
The few of you who might have known me for a while will know that, way back in the day, I made some very, very occasional porn/mature content. Most of that was commissioned by a friend of mine, one of two people I would consider making anything like that for. Some of the others were those "I wonder if I would like making this" attempts that ended in quite a resounding "no". This was shortly after turning 18 since hey, I could make that kind of thing now, might as well give it a shot. One of those things I made as a joke for a friend of mine early this year, because even I have a sense of humor. I laugh at dick jokes like everyone else.
They've been stalking and harassing me on pretty much every online medium I use since early this year, going so far as to impersonate me on FA. I don't really know why since it's not like I'm someone anyone knows. It took nearly a decade to get 3000 watchers; I'm not exactly in high demand.
So yeah, here's my very poor attempt at damage control? I don't know. If you see the stuff, just let me know and I'll look into getting it taken down. Don't expect more content like it in the future since that's not going to happen. I'd consider posting it myself but all but one of the images are really old and look terrible and I don't want people getting the wrong idea. Oh well.
Thanks for reading.

Reposting my work
Posted 8 years agoHi,
I do not mind my work being reposted to image-sharing sites, boards, videos, what have you, provided the reposted image meets these criteria:
- My signature remain intact and visible, not cropped or scrubbed off.
- The image is sourced if a source is available. I do occasionally delete old/unwanted work, but if one is available, please do so.
- It is left as-is, not recolored or edited otherwise.
- You do not claim my work as your own. This is very illegal and just a really shitty thing to do.
If you are going to use my work as an avatar somewhere at the very least please credit me by name and/or with a referral link to the post if possible. I get that these often end up cropped and such, especially on forums, but you can at least give credit and refrain from claiming wrongful author.
If you want to use my work as a wallpaper or something? Sure, go for it, but don't say you made it. If you want to post my work to something like Instagram, Tumblr, or Facebook, by all means-- just please credit me and link back to the source of the image. This is a very basic courtesy. I am flattered that people like my work, please do not misunderstand me. I put an absurd amount of time and care into my work because I want people to enjoy it...just please enjoy it responsibly.
Thank you.

I feel it is time I really say something about this.
Posted 8 years agoHi. Hopefully this will be a journal you actually do read.
Perhaps those of you who know me as more than a name on a userpage or a signature on a picture will know a very strange, possibly "bad" thing about me:
I greatly dislike porn. This includes making it.
Now, if you are a decent person, you will leave this as-is. Perhaps you will unwatch and avoid me because I do not cater to the typical tastes. That is entirely your prerogative. However...
Trying to make me feel guilty by not offering what literally hundreds of people do will not make me want to draw porn. Trying to essentially force me to change what I like, dislike, and will/will not make will not work, and will only result in me blocking your FA account on my page if I know you have one. I deal with this bullshit a lot from more than a few people and it is extremely tiresome. I have some very questionable opinions about NSFW/porn content which will not be changed. If anything, the behavior will only reinforce my opinions.
I have tried to be nice about this, but as whenever I say anything about this I am only fought against, I will not be so nice anymore. I don't care that people are mainly on here and other places to look at things I will never offer, but do not try to force me to accommodate your tastes. You will not like how it ends. I have very much considered simply removing all of my work and leaving, especially if I find that people have made porn of my characters (which has indeed happened in the past).
Due to how this behavior has quite suddenly spiked, I am saying something about it here as well.
I am sure I come off as some snobby prude, but I am just...past the point of caring about that. This is something I have been dealing with from people for years. You likely would have lost your patience by now as well.

Tumblr and the posting of my work.
Posted 8 years agoHi,
Upon attempting a routine Google Images check, I have been seeing a handful of my works posted to Tumblr. Back some time ago I decided to broaden the purpose of the blog to include more story-related content since there is more to the overall story than just two characters. I use the blog as a repository for things like concept sketches and text, or other details that I don't see the point of posting here. If I do post something to Tumblr that has a source on FA, I include the source.
What is the point of all this? Well, I would just like to ask that if someone is able to find my work on Tumblr, that instead of posting the work to their own blog, that they reblog from my account. Here is a crosspost from my blog regarding why:
I ask that you please reblog work from my account here when applicable. It is a little disheartening to see that I get perhaps 1-5 notes on a post while someone else posting my work gets over 100 notes. While I am very thankful that many of you doing so have credited me and my FA account, I hope it would not be too much to ask that, if a piece is posted here, that you reblog it so that I may get traffic to this account as well. I source all of my images to FA and so on. I have not wanted to say anything until now because it seemed…mean? But the more I consider it, the more sensible it appears.
Thank you to those who have enjoyed my work and will hopefully continue to do so. I am happy to be able to put together works that you find interesting enough to follow and post for yourself, but please, can you reblog works from here instead? If something is not posted here, but only to FA or dA, then you may certainly post work from those pages with credit given and a link back to the source. I hope this does not impose too much; that is not my intention.
I don’t mind my work being shared, but I do have preferences on the method of sharing.
I was asked to submit this as a journal here. The Tumblr account I use is here: http://ai-qa.tumblr.com
That is all. Thanks for reading.
