Hey, hope y'all are safe and doing well. It's been a little while - I've been around, just working slowly on art. I've been considering posting some more of my non-vore, but still kink-focused work on here, just to keep the gallery a bit more active.

No, this doesn't mean I'm stopping drawing vore or anything. Anyone who knows me well knows that I kinda go in cycles when it comes to what I'm in the mood to draw, and I thought I could maybe share more of that work here, especially since I'd imagine some of y'all don't follow my work outside of the Portal.

Good idea, bad idea? I dunno, but I just do happen to have a lot of other work and while that would mean vore would take a backseat, it's never far from my mind. Sometimes I happen to want to explore other things,...

Posted a thing on Tumblr but might as well do it here as well: planning on an AV sequence involving Velouria and A LOT of prey, does anyone have any human OCs they don’t mind shoving into Vel?~

Wow y'all really like Boom the naughty toilet-focused dog.

Duly noted.

I know I haven't been active here, but I haven't really been doing any vore art lately. I was doing other art elsewhere, but due to recent breakdowns again lately, I've declared my usual indefinite hiatus.

My work, despite my reservations, is staying. I myself will just be vanishing, as any joy I could get from posting my work has just been continually eroded away over the years. Not that I'll ever stop doing art, that I still absolutely enjoy. But attempting to be in the public internet eye and continually struggling is something I'm just not getting anything beneficial from anymore.

I saw internet art sharing as a community, a way to finally fit in and have people of similar interests close. But apart from maybe the first year or so of posting fandom stuff, I...

My work stays. Hooray!

But I feel as though I need an actual, I'm-going-to-stick-to-it-break. I have been rather unpredictable, incredibly whiny, and spitefully self-destructive lately. Truth be told, it has kind of been massively building for the past few years - major depression, unmanageable anxiety, and recommendation into seeing if I have borderline personality disorder.

Even if I don't, I've been unfairly taking my anxieties and rage out on the community, and I'm sorry for that. You all definitely deserve a break from the many negative sides of me.

So I'm going radio silent with the intent to come back later, having hopefully improved myself mentally, emotionally, and medically. As sloppy as it was, quitting social media has definitely been a...

I deleted the IrateLiterate accounts on Twitter and Tumblr.

No more of them there. They were doing pitiful in terms of activity and attention and it's only a matter of time until that stretches to this account as well.

Oh hey, the blog feature's working again. Cool.

Unfortunately, IrateLiterate won't really be working again, at least not for a while. I'm going on a proper, actually announced to the world hiatus from posting. A lot of the joy of posting this kind of work in this name isn't really making me happy.

I'll always be working on art. For now, I've just been keeping it private and I've been happier and more confident in it. Part of the reason why I started posting in the first place was because I was young and optimistic and I had always viewed this scene as a place where I could fit in and maybe make a name for myself. All these years later and neither of those two things have really happened. I've pretty much dropped to be a nobody here, and there are a lot of artists...

Have I lost passion in working on art? No.

Have I lost passion in posting art I do online? Yes.

I just haven't been happy in so long, I've been irrelevant and forgettable and past what I could charitably call my "prime" for even longer. Maybe it's a sign I should just delete my stuff and leave. I feel so disconnected from the community that it just makes me wonder why I'm still forcing myself to try and stay, in the hopes that I might fit in somewhere?

I've been diagnosed with moderate cubital tunnel syndrome.

For now, I'm to deal with a steroid, anti-inflammatories, wearing a brace, and physical therapy.

And if all that fails, then corrective surgery.

So, I'm back on my standard anxiety meds. My mood is pretty level and I've had good bursts of creativity, which is a nice relief after months of ups and downs. It's nice to feel like I'm properly back. I've been experimenting with new concepts, both in and outside of vore.

On the other hand, chronic issues have acted up and have prevented me from working on art properly. Arm and elbow pain, hand numbness, it's nearly impossible to drive, play instruments, or work on art lately. I can doodle relatively pain-free and that's about it - hence why I've been uploading some work backlog as opposed to working on new things. I've been prescribed meds to deal with probable ulnar nerve entrapment, with plans for visiting specialists and having nerve mapping done if I don't respond to the...
