Hello.

A few days ago -pretty much last week- I removed all A-rated content from my page and the announcement post of Decalounge. After finally receiving criticism regarding why it wasn't shown, I have opened my eyes to the truth:

• My art style can be seen as "childish": While my current art style is the result of years of learning anatomy and comprehending how things work, if someone were to look at my art with no idea of who I am, they'd think I'm not of the legal age.
• The lie of "tasteful" adult content: I was once told that my art of that category was "tasteful". But after I was criticized, I learned that no piece of adult content was or is ever "tasteful", as it's intended to evoke desire -no matter how tamed it is.
• I aimed to please audiences by drawing things I wasn't comfortable with: While I 'fortunately' did not do this, I had plans to draw stuff I wasn't comfortable with. I've always been tamed even with stuff involving monsters, but I wanted to go beyond this. I was discomforted with way too many things people like (and in some cases it's unfortunate), and it was the first sign that such content was never for me. A sign I ignored completely.
• I expected immediate results: Everyone who has drawn adult art has seen immediate success with their work, regardless of the style it's drawn in. Naturally, I expected the same when first stepping into that territory. I expected way too much, especially when I opened my -now closed- Patreon page with a tier for adult content. I never got Patrons in that tier, which further drained my morale, as I kept drawing it with no one to look at it. That was initially why I ended up posting it here for free. Alas... I still had nobody to look at it, for all reasons mentioned above.

I will still draw/post the following, as it's not qualified as adult content:

• Blood/Gore (cartoony or anatomic)
• Body horror. (and horror in general)
• Vent art.
• Naked female chests without sexual intent.
• Revealing clothes (such as bikinis) without sexual intent.
• Clean depictions of potentially suggestive scenes (with 'clean', I mean that the characters are mostly or fully clothed -or at least have their areas covered- and aren't touching any important zones)

Thanks for your comprehension, and if you, by any chance, want to look at my art in that regard, don't even try to convince me to do so. And if you dare to upload my adult ARMS fanart to other sites, I'll report you, as I have never permitted you (or anyone) to do so.



If you still dare to draw adult art of my characters, I'LL REPORT AND BLOCK YOU. If you see someone drawing this type of work, report it to me immediately and I'll take care of it.
