Hello wonderful patrons...
They say that all good things must come to an end =)
I’m not really sure how to do this xD
I don’t want to write a big wall of text about my life, or my thoughts about drawing -- but it would also feel weird and wrong just to disappear without saying something to all of you who have supported my work for all these years.
So I’ll write a wall of text just in case xD
Here is the TLDR:
TLDR: I’m going on indefinite hiatus after November. I may come back one day, I may not; I honestly don’t know. Thank you for supporting me, and I wish good things for each and every one of you =3
Content will continue until the end of this month!
Here comes the wall!!!
Big things are happening in my personal life, and, after over five years of posting femdom and foot fetish art online every month, I feel like this chapter has come to its natural end.
I started this drawing journey after a different chapter in my life felt like it had closed. I wanted to see if I could learn to draw from scratch, or if it was a talent you just had to be born with.
I trained for hours and hours and studied endless videos, books, and tutorials. It was difficult, but worth it, and I saw gradual improvement. I started posting my art, I got prouder and prouder of what I was making, and I enjoyed sharing my interests with all of you.
I started a Patreon page. At the time I hated my day job, and making some money from my art felt like the first step towards a dream come true. I poured my soul into my works and continued to dream of getting better, of reaching the standards of the artists I saw elsewhere online. (Reiq is still the GOAT, don’t @ me xD)
I feel like a few years ago, I started to lose my spark a bit. The rise of AI art made me (I realise only now, looking back) pretty much depressed for a long time. Who am I, if no one cares about my drawings? What is the point of striving to get better if an algorithm is going to be able to create better pictures than I ever can in the blink of an eye?
I carried on. I didn’t know what else to do. But I was loving drawing less, and felt like I was giving you guys who were supporting me a little bit less. A bit less flare, a bit less joy, a bit less of me. Going through the motions, to some extent.
Time passes. Life goes on. I have a day job now that I like much better than my old one. I wondered if maybe the spark for drawing would come back -- but I still felt like I was treading water. I didn’t really have any motivation to get better. I was just drawing because it’s what I had been doing these past years.
Now things in my life are changing yet again. I’m getting older (we all are, constantly, it turns out -- why did no one tell me!? xD) and it feels like everything is about to transform, starting December.
So -- at least for now -- I’m leaving “Moophro” behind.
I might come back. I might rediscover that spark and that desire to put my drawings out there. But for now, I feel like drawing is something I want to put to one side for a bit, to remember what it feels like to be without it. (Plus, as time goes on, the more I wonder if the internet is just... kinda set up to make us miserable? I dunno. But I want to find that out too.)
I guess I can’t really claim that drawing horny pictures online is some kind of magical thing -- but I do think that fetishes like ours are a deep and important part of who we are, and one that doesn’t always find much of an outlet in the ‘real world.’ So to me it’s been a very special thing, knowing that a small but significant number of people across the globe share this secret love of submitting to women, and that my artworks have played a small part in helping them enjoy that.
I am so very grateful for all of your support.
Whether you have supported me for years, or just very recently, or on and off, or if you’ve only ever enjoyed one piece of my artwork -- I am thankful =3
I might start posting again six months from now. I might never post again. I genuinely don’t know at this point.
But, whoever you are, thank you for sharing this strange and special thing with me.
Remember: you deserve love, even if the form you want that love to take sometimes is someone stepping on your face.
Thank you.
Moophro
