A bit of me fears the day I get outed to friends and family. Though I have been hinting to both that I do fetish artwork and erotica drawings for people. That might loosen the judgments of family and friends. At least my fiance understands what I do and doesn't complain as such.

I think you vary it up with the art you do that isn't fetish related though, Tom.

Its a fear I understand totally, which is why I created an alter ego/pen name, because some people wouldn't be understanding. One of my close family knows and she's cool with it, so that's a nice relief.

if you want to talk to artists all you have to do is be polite and know where to do the talking.
Site like here, inflatechan and deviantart are the best.
Hell there are dozens of TF artists that would have quit if good fans hadn't spoken up to tell them they were appreciated. So get out there and tell your favorites how happy you are they exist. You never know if it will make a difference.

Agreed that we should be nice to all artists.

As far as talking to people though, I have been all over infchan and DA and shot notes, comments, and messages all over. I think I may have gotten 2 or 3 replies in total and then was never spoken to again by anyone, with the exception of one, who I was able to commission once, and THEN he stopped talking to me.

It's not as easy as all that, BUT I do understand that artist can't reply to every post they get, and some people just want to be left to their art. Oh well.

well that's how it goes neighbor.


And now lets all welcome back he who cannot be named.

Hear hear. I only hope things go better for him now than in the past.

[Metatron]

Not sure why
He is a nice guy and he responded to PM and posts, but that s when he was a bit more active in the community...and the community was a bit more active.

[gamonthehand]

well he posted something and that means that maybe we aren't in danger of ruining his life if we accidentally say his name. That right there is a big relief to me for no reason in particular.

Yes and no
Yes saying his name is not necessarily going to ruin his life

No the probability of us ruining his life goes up every time we say it. So in the best interest of awesome art it is best not to say it.

More to the point, if people would stop pestering him to release sooner, we might see a release on his own time. Not everyone reacts positively to peer pressure, so what's wrong with leaving him alone?
