Those of you watch me may have noticed my art output is slowing down. This is not because I have lost my drive for vore art. Hopefully, that will never happen.

Currently, I am writing a vorish story, which I plan to publish. Under my real name. Publicly. For all those normal people outside cyber-space to read. If you've been on the forum and seen my latest topic, then this shouldn't be surprising to you...

I'll continue submitting drawings once I've finished and submitted this... if it gets published, I'll announce it. If not... maybe I'll just submit it here...

Wish me luck!

Those of you who follow and watch me (I think there's about seven of you) may have noticed it's been a while since I did anything on the portal. Why?

My internet device (a virgin mobile air card) died recently, and I have yet to replace it. Not sure how long it will be till I get another one, seeing as they cost quite a chunk. Still, I'm going to try to utilize some wifi spots and get back on the portal more often. See ya real soon, I hope.

Shit. I said my blog was going to be all sunshine and fucking daisies from now on, didn't I? I had a plan, too, to write some stupid article about the inconvenience of getting erections in public when you have a tremendous penis and like light fabrics. Maybe I should have written that instead. Oh well. Too late, now, I guess.

Anyone who's been paying attention to my blog can tell you I've been thinking about dying a lot lately. More specifically, I've been thinking about what happens to digital artists when they die. When you work under a pseudonym, when no one knows your real name, no one will really know when you die, or how you died. You'll simply become 'that artist who stopped submitting'. You could just walk off and never come back to the site, and it'd have the...

Wow. My blog's getting really depressing, isn't it? Does everyone treat their blog as a place to barf out their psychological toxins?

Anyways... Last night, I dreamed that I went on Eka's and check in on the forum thread for my latest interactive, "Comic Book Super-Heroine Preds". Linked here: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=34626

So, in my dream, on this thread, there was this huge stream of replies, all telling me how bad my story sucked. Stuff like, "The jokes are unfunny," and "The branches are too linear." Absolutely everyone in my dream told me the story sucked.

Now, the reason this strikes me as so bizarre...

Since I started drawing steadily again, I have noticed a couple of things.

The first is, I like life again.

It may not have been obvious, due to all the shitty jokes I crack, but I'd been a little depressed for quite some time. Not suicidal, thank God, but I felt oddly numb and hollow most of the time. I didn't wake up looking forward to what the day would bring, and I didn't go to sleep happy about what I'd done. Now that I am drawing again, and more importantly, submitting my drawings publicly, where people can see them and comment on them, I feel really, truly happy. Something I haven't felt in quite some time.

The second thing is that I am now absolutely terrified of death.

Probably a side-effect of liking life again. ...

Like all snobby high school students who took themselves too seriously, I once considered myself a 'true artist' and writer, and scoffed at fan-art and fan-fics. It was my belief that a real writer didn't need to swipe characters from others, and that character creation was a vital part of writing. Failing to create your own characters meant cutting corners, in my mind.

This mind-set is difficult to maintain if one is a comic-book fan. It is even more difficult to maintain when the most popular items in one's online gallery are all fan-art. It is, in fact, nigh impossible, and probably unwise in the first place.

What I'm beginning to realize is that there is an art in character interpretation, just as much as there is an art in character creation. ...

Not too much here yet, I know, but I hope to expand it a lot in the next few days. Started with She-Hulk, since my drawing of her won me a couple of favorites....

The basic premise is that are a bank robber, and that not long ago, a strange wave of cosmic energy granted the super-heroines and villainesses of your world the power to swallow people whole. When your latest job is stopped by one of these powerful ladies, you'll have to act carefully to avoid being eaten and digested.

The preds will mostly be Marvel women (I'm a Marvel fan), but...

I found out, not too long ago, that Daumustef, creator of Cartovore and Cartovore 2, has been presumed dead by his fan-base. Heard whispers of the same about Karbo...

It's odd... we can grow to care about people we never even meet, whose names we never even learn. They bring so much joy to so many people on this site, and ask for nothing in return. And then they vanish. They never put out another piece of art, never write another story. Never respond to another comment, never get to see how many views and favorites their work is still pulling in...

It's tragic and scary at the same time. I suddenly think of all the artists I love who are still out here, and how I would feel if they vanished...

To Neku, Hungry Succubus, Bright, and all the...

Mostly, I'm posting this here for those people who read my blog, but don't watch me. I'm pretty sure those people actually exist.

You know, it's a funny thing. I've been on Eka's as an observer for quite some time, done work on interactive stories, and only recently opened a gallery. I was pretty astounded when I actually got a fav and a couple of watchers. I smiled when, upon clicking the gallery button just after submitting a pic, my name and gallery icon had popped up to the first spot in the list, and I felt a little guilty when, after not being able to use the computer for a while, my name slipped down to the bottom of the second page...

Gotta submit more. I really do.
