Updates and making changes (mostly relevant to other sites) Posted 2 months ago
Hello everyone! Not the best of times lately, but not the worst, either.


I'll start things off with the crummy news: my Pixiv account has been hit with a suspension, due I can only assume to my most recent upload, though the criteria could apply to half my gallery (their guideline disallowing "images that could be mistaken for real-life"). Something I obviously intend to contest, but I'm also not holding my breath for it; even if it does get reverted, the fact remains that it's yet another site I need to be wary of my posts on.

Which has been a recurring theme lately >.< Artists in these sorts of spaces have been under "Damocles Sword" as Karbo put it not long ago. That feeling of the sword hanging over your head on every platform,...

November/December updates Posted 4 months ago
Straight to the point(s) with this one!

Content update: the "irresistible indulgence" series I started earlier in the year is now 'finished', and I'll be posting the remaining pages/parts of it soon! All 7 parts are already up on Patreon for the impatient among you, but I intend to post the full series publicly by the end of the year (part 5 is going out soon, then there's a bonus part 6 and 7 that will be public later next month most likely).

December projects! I haven't decided on all of these yet, I'll make another post for Patreon once I have more of that figured out. But I usually do something holiday-themed and intend to continue that, but maybe something more just season-themed as well this time...? (a general winter theme, in my case.)

All caught up! Posted 7 months ago
Previous journal for context: https://aryion.com/g4/blog.php?id=68565

As I said back then (a whole nine months ago, whoops), I'm tentatively returning here! I don't know how wise it is for me to be trying to keep up with too many websites all at once, trying to juggle uploading to multiple galleries with each finished piece. But... well, time is showing that stability online is hard to come by, with various sites changing policies, or changing directions, or a myriad of other things. I got another small scare just yesterday with DeviantArt deciding all of a sudden that a three-year-old upload of mine contained underage content, despite it being an adult character in a not even sexual scene. How am I supposed to even deal with that?

I've had my issues with...

On turmoil, and tentative returns. Posted 1 year ago
Almost exactly four years ago, I left this site.

I still stand by my decisions at the time. I wasn't comfortable with some of the content that's so easily allowed here; I didn't agree with Eka's stance on it. I still don't, admittedly. But at the same time, it's a stance I respect and appreciate, and it makes sense. This site was founded because of hostile moderation elsewhere and intended to be a safe haven, and regardless of how one feels about what should and shouldn't be allowed, it's still a safe haven.

And a lot has changed in those four years.

Tumblr went from being a haven of its own to being turned upside-down, my then-biggest platform suddenly having the rug pulled out from under it with its blanket ban on all things NSFW (and then banning...

INACTIVE REMINDER - follow me elsewhere! Posted 5 years ago
I've been noticing a fair few new watchers on here still since I left, so it might be a good time to remind folks that I'm no-longer posting anything here! All of my activity is focused on other sites, the only time I even visit here now is to check that my inbox is clear.

Other sites:

Dropping Ekas Posted 5 years ago
Hello all! To preface, this is something I've been working on for a while now, but given current events, now seems as good a time as any to make it "official".

TL;DR: I'm not using Eka's Portal anymore, so if you want to continue following my work, go follow me elsewhere (DeviantArt, Tumblr, Instagram, Patreon; or just find links at http://www.saftkeur.com)

Slightly more in-depth version, some of you may have noticed already that I haven't been posting here recently, though I've still been posting elsewhere. As great as it is having a site that's dedicated to the whole vore theme... I've just gotten so, so tired of the extra baggage that goes along with that. Underage content...

mini-update - suggestion pile refresher Posted 6 years ago
Hello everyone! Quickie update today.

I’m re-doing a lot of my organization right now, and honestly, there’s a ton of suggestions/requests I’ve simply lost track of, buried away in message chains and scattered comments. One of my current projects is gathering all of those into one big doc for my own reference (previous attempts have turned into giant messes), so if you’ve sent me suggestions or requests in the past, I’d very much appreciate if you could refresh me on those!

Just send me a message, or leave a comment, or whatever works best. So long as it can get through to me so I can properly file it away. ^^

New suggestions are also okay, on that note, but do keep them simple! Ideally I’m looking for more open-ended suggestions of simple...

Getting ready for 2018 Posted 6 years ago
Hello, all! I hope life's been treating you well.

It's been a roller-coaster of a year, hasn't it? Certainly for me it has. I don't know if 2018 will be any better or worse, but I'm looking forward to wrapping this year up.

Wrapping this year up
In all honesty, I'm not thrilled with how my year's gone by; I started it off with so much optimism, and I'm ending it just utterly drained. I've barely even done any of the for-fun pictures I would have usually done, I've collected a backlog of commissions that for some reason or another I could barely even get started on... and I don't think I overloaded myself with projects either, I just could barely manage to do a bare minimum. It did end up in an overload, but I feel that I was being pretty...

SizeCon: the final countdown! Posted 6 years ago
Just a few days left before the main event! Only like a day and a half for me actually, since I need to get there a day early to get settled in and ready for setup day. But a bit longer for anyone else who's not dealing with all that. ^^

Just to note, there's still time to snag tickets, if you're going to be in NYC this weekend; it's a two-day event, lots of panels and other activities, and of course plenty of artists. It's not a huge array of vore artists, but there's at least me, Kreeyz, and MrIshimaru that will be there with prints, if not a few more here and there. I'm not familiar with all the names, sorry if I missed someone!

Not too much else to add, I just realized I've been really slacking on posting updates here and I wanted to make some mention of it....

Current Status + other stuff Posted 6 years ago
Hey there, everyone. This entry might be a little heavier then my usual, so I'll just get right into it; I don't know when I'll be able to open commissions again, but it likely won't be for a while. I'm talking a few months, probably.

To put a long story short, I've been struggling off-and-on with personal issues for the better part of a year now, and it's been especially difficult for me to juggle the same projects I used to. I opened for commissions back in November of last year, with the goal of earning enough money to buy myself a new tablet by the middle of this year; I filled about four slots in total, and since then - about six months, now? - I've finished two, two-and-a-half of those commissions, and that's it. To say progress has been slow would probably be an...
