Uh, hey all. Been a while. Hope you had a happy holiday season.
Anyway, I suppose it's time to type up a little bit since this is kind of a blog bit; unfortunately I have not been able to do much vore art. This is probably going to continue.
Firstly I'm attempting to pursue art as a career; of course I could do commissions or pay content related to vore, so this is more a complicating factor.
Secondly, as a result of the first I haven't had a lot of time to do vore related art since much of my time drawing has been spent on "serious" works.
Thirdly, there's the a slightly more serious complicating factor in that I make my vore stuff different from my serious works; mostly this is an annoyance but it is kind of a pain to try and reach back and produce a piece as if it were snapshot of my works from a couple years earlier.
Finally and most importantly, I'm... kinda out of ideas. When I try drawing vore I keep feeling like I'm treading old ground, which, even though I can't deny I'm still a voraphile, makes drawing vore less attractive.
Anyway, sorry for the wall of text.

It's really understandable. If you want to pursue art professionally, you should totally focus on that! Unfortunately vore art can be a limiting subject so how you feel is totally reasonable. I wish you the best in your career!

Thank ye. Sorry I don't have more to show.

There's honestly no pressure. You've provided a ton of really high quality content for absolutely free.

Yay a Kiyoa post. Have you tried drawing vore with your new serious style and just found it doesn't work? Love your work either way, good luck with whatever you do.
Posted by Kiyoa 10 years ago Report
Well, it's reall a less "does this work" and more an anonymity issue. I actually haven't tried it though. Hmmm...

I'm glad u have serious art as a back-up, but while vore art is repetitive, the characters themselves might bring something that seems new, like preys being preds

Your situation is understandable. Feeling the need to pursue a professional art career is a noble endeavor, and with your skills, you could do really well. I can also understand why you want to keep the two (vore and serious) separate, as you don't want one to hinder the other and vice versa, but it can be a pain to do, as they will, regardless influence each other in one form or another.
Moving on, vore can be limited in scenarios, as they will repeat and/or overlap at least once in a while, so it can be hard to keep the ideas "fresh" and new. A lot about creative work is that it takes time, inspiration, and drive to accomplish, so creative work isn't easy. Sometimes it happens without much effort, and sometimes it can take forever to think of something worthwhile.
In any case, I wish you well on whatever path you take. With your skill level, you'll be fine, and we'll always be here for you in case you need a break.

Well, yeah. Kinda hard to avoid leaving behind your artistic fingerprints; I'm pretty sure any artist familiar with both my aliases could recognize that "we" are the same artist... especially since MetalForever already sussed me out.
But yeah, the biggest problem is that I'm just lacking in fresh ideas.

<3 its beautiful....and worth a loud glurgle *hugs* hope you feel better bout your arting situation..

Just stuck in a rut, in terms of vore art. Haven't been able to get out of it. My "serious" stuff is flourishing at least.
Posted by RavenXeo 10 years ago Report
Well, rock on in whatever manner you need<3
Posted by Aikahime 10 years ago Report
It's sad to hear that an artist, especially one as talented as you, is mostly dropping vore, but it's also very nice to see you graduating onto more serious things, and I'm very happy to hear that, at least

Sorry, just got to go for broke =(

I have seen your non-vore stuff and it is pretty good.
I don't have any good suggestions on how to make vore original. I mean, they mostly end up in the same place anyway.
Usually the means of variations can be in the interaction of the characters before they get eaten, in what method they are eaten and what happens afterwards.
Posted by Kiyoa 10 years ago Report
Yeah, that's basically the problem in a nutshell.

Thank you. Also, ooh lala indeed, heh.

Really glad to see some activity from you in any case. You've always been one of my favorite artists around here.

Thanks =)

Good to hear from you. You should do whatever you feel is your best interest. Im sure lots of people here would be happy if you continued your vore art, but what matters is what you want. Go be you, and if you ever get the urge to doodle something up, you'll know where we are ;3
Posted by Kiyoa 10 years ago Report
Well, kinda the idea. Thanks; I'll put stuff up when I can.
Posted by GenesisTerra 10 years ago Report
Thank you so much for the update! You are undoubtedly one of my favorite artists, and it's nice to know that you're at least still out there!
And at least as far as I'm concerned, I'm just as happy with a personal text-only update to know that you're still out there and still doing arts (even if not vorish ones!). Do what you want, whether it's what we want or not. Follow your passions!
Posted by Kiyoa 10 years ago Report
Eh, I really prefer to at least provide a little more, especially with how little I post.

Still love your works, and I'm as glad as ever to see another piece from you. Hope things keep going well for you in the professional world, even if that means you won't be here too much! =3

Gotta agree with the people above, gotta do whats best for you, and glad to see you are trying to do arts for a living, especially with how good you are ^^ Wish I knew a way to support you more in the serious art world as well ^^;
Posted by Bledric 10 years ago Report
It's good to hear from you again, and what you do with your time is your own choice. To suggest otherwise would be silly. Just know I find your art to be amazing, and I hope you find success in what your doing now.

It is great to see more of your work. I wish you luck in making a living from your art work.
What you do is up to you, but I know that you would make many of us happy if you continue to grace us with your art.
As for new content here are a couple of ideas:
You could do commissions as requests...IE someone types up a description of what they would like to request you draw as a commission. If you like what they wrote then you accept their commission and carry it out as a commission. If you don't like it then you can ignore it and prevent your self from being obligated to do something that seems boring/repetitive.
If you have the time, then it might be worth reading in the forums here or posting a thread looking for new ideas. There are plenty of writers here and other such creative people who can't draw or lack the time to learn how to draw vore well (count me among the latter).
One thought on keeping the styles of your work here separate from your other works. Perhaps using different tools will cause a shift in style. The technique effects the final result, and different tools require different techniques.
For example I draw different with a pen than with a pencil because the drag of the tip is different which causes me to react differently.
Take care. We'll be here whenever you feel like coming.

You're in quite the delimma eh? Well I personally say if vore art looks less attractive and professional artwork is taking your time, focus on the professional art :) Why? Because it pays more first of all and if you're not inspired for vore, why draw vore? XD
I'm sure you'll come up with inspiration when the time strikes, and if it doesn't, that's alright, you're an amazing person who already gave us more than most would.
