A little take away from my recent images (Patreon)
Content
So the last four images from me were an experiment of sorts that comes from a certain frustration in the way I work. I spend hours on an average image and while that is perfectly fine for a commissioned image, after all that’s what you give me your hard earned money for, when it comes to my personal images… Honestly sometimes I just want to get an image out to a decent standard as fast as possible. I have the opposite of artist’s block 90% of time; I have too many ideas almost to the point where it hurts my brain. As such I’ve been doing some soul searching artistically, do I need to bring my A game to every image I want to put out there? Is it OK to experiment and change the pace occasionally? Will people still enjoy these faster images or will they think it’s a waste of their support? Have I artistically backed myself into a corner?
I know, I create porn, but regardless I want to make porn that I can be proud of and that I enjoy making.
So what did I get from this little experiment? Well…
- I vastly underestimated how long even these scaled back images took; I think four was too many, I’ll be aiming for three next time.
- I feel like I’m finding my voice a little more with this style.
- It was refreshing to work like this, it’s brought a new joy to the commissioned images I am (and will be) working on, a change did me the world of good and ease a little of the burn out I’ve been working through.
- I got to break my oftentimes formulaic way of working.
- I just enjoyed it.
Will people like these images, in presentation if not content (that’s subjective after all)? Well only time will tell so let’s find out!
