Comic ending
Ahoy, I'm working on new projects and will not be finishing the old Insomnia comic (I will occasionally draw pages but I need to post the ending since I'm past its release date).
If anyone is curious on it's ending, click here
*Note: I'm not abandoning this account, I might make a new one that features more original content and have this one for fan art and older characters.
Absent?
Been debating if I should just leave DA and Tumblr permanently since I'm not active online nowadays.
That and my artwork is getting stolen 24/7
But before I do, should I post a written format of how some of my comic/graphic novel projects end story-wise and then illustrate the endings/concepts when time does become available?
Would appreciate some thoughts on the matter! (Not going to delete my gallery)
Where I'm at online
Unfortunately, I've noticed that some individuals have been taking my username on other websites.
They haven't posted my art (that I'm aware of) but I'm keeping an eye out.
I can be only be found on:
Deviantart
Tumblr (active)
Weasyl (inactive)
Youtube (inactive, old speedpaints)
If you find my username elsewhere please tell me straight away!

It was hard to decide since I wanted to trade with lots of folks.
Trades will open again next week!

Quite agree.
Now i've noticed that a lot of fans (particularly the CP ones) have been begging artists to stay within their designated genres, but for who's benefit?
Artists often leave fandoms for three reasons; loss of interest, lack of the pursued target audience, and downright harassment.
Now while it's occasionally sad to see favorite artists switch from a genre suddenly, it's good to understand that this is normal and healthy; begging and taunting the artists to keep drawing a particular subject is more likely to get them to quit permanently.
Encouraging the artist to take a break and wait patiently is a better move, as it signifies that the main watcher group is respectful and worthwhile when exploiting fan drawings.
Why stay in a fandom that does nothing but fight, boast, and downright penalize the artist for their own creativity?
From what iv'e seen with the
dyingCP fandom, it's an excellent historical play at what causes a fandom to drive artists away.Target audience:
- contains well written material
- used for mature audiences,
- little to no porn
- rarely focus on OCs and more on settings
- knows the difference between reality and fiction.
Actual audience:
- comments.deviantart.com/1/4568… in a nutshell.
- little respect for artist
- more negative than positive
- constantly unwatch artists
after giving out options on journals like thesefor not updating 24/7- nothing but RPs and Spam instead of helpful feedback
No, fangirls are not the problem. While occasionally annoying, it's actually the lone disrespectful individuals that are the issues for pressuring artists. I think fangirls can have very entertaining comments and are fine to have in groups.
Additionally, not all unintended audiences end in disaster; MLP Bronies managed to hold interest without changing the show drastically. So if someone likes or hates the genre, it can be balanced out to where it's not stressful for fans.
In general, I hope that i've shed some light as to why so many are switching to independent works instead of continuing fandom material, or just in general join other groups.
I'm thinking about taking a break from CP so I don't quite, but I still want to finish the comic and help friends out with indie games and other projects. But if I'm really not interested, please acknowledge that I am not a eternally bound to the genre.
It's healthy to give things a break, so encourage artists to be creative!
Fanart is suppose to be for fun and a learning experience for practice, so if anything don't freak out when someone leaves, perhaps support their decision or work on your own style!
