My recent thought & feeling about Futa works (Patreon)
Content
Hello my dear fans and patrons! (This is a public post)
Recently I got many asking about my activities on Futa art, by messages or comments.
(And I can totally understand it...)
Rather than answering each message/comment, today I try to write a journal about it, to tell for all my dear readers.
I'm not drawing arts and comics with only cold calculation and business mind... it is works of passion. So I feel I can't explain it exactly and logically. But anyway I'll try it :D
[Firstly...]
I have to admit I don't have searing passion to draw Futa-Only works like in my younger career now.
I still like to draw/see/buy Futa arts and comics. But currently do same things to other genres. In my early career, my interest was limited to only Futa. It had changed.
Things are changing, person is changing , no thing is eternal... ah, it is basic mind of Buddhism, but saying only it is not enough. So I hope to think about it deeply.
[Wider Interests]
I felt my interests about hentai genres became wider and wider... probably around my 30s age.
You might notice my works became also wider... starting from Dragon Quest POV doujin.
It has many good effects (mainly I could meet more new fans!), but also negative effects (my royal futa-genre fans don't like it)
If I try to draw many genres, I can invest less time to each genres...
But it is not a only reason.
[Two BIG ongoing projects]
This is a hard to explain topic, but I'll try.
As an artist, I had some big changes and challenges... around 5~6 years ago.
One of it was starting my non X-rated comic "Anime-Tamae! Tensei no Miko".
Another is starting straight hentai CG&Story works, mainly [Hypnotized College Girls].
There are many reasons... but if saying very simply, to survive in Japanese shifting market as an artist. Japan is in long recession indeed, I had to do anything new to survive.
(Ah, and I must to say "Thank you" again and again, for this Patreon and you kind patrons are really helping my artist career!!)
My challenge was so hard, especially working with a Japanese Publisher for "Anime-Tamae!" was a horrible experience... but I did my best.
At last, things went well, and I could achieve many things with these new projects. And they are ongoing now.
I don't regret it... I burnt my life force for these years indeed. But I noticed I could draw very small pages of Prina...
[Yuri / Hentai Energy?]
While I draw Anime-Tamae! and straight hentai works, I feel I'm losing energy to draw Futa/Futa works oddly.
I can't tell it well, and it is a very clueless inference, but...
Futa/Futa arts is amalgam of [Yuri] and [Hentai].
When I put out my Yuri energy to Anime-Tamae!, it is possible that Yuri energy to draw Futa/Futa is not enough when I draw hentai works...
This does not mean Anime-Tamae! offends Prina (anyway it is an inference).
But it may help my understanding my situation and its solution.
[Long Live Comic Syndrome]
You might remember some Japanese comics, very long lived but be suspended for a while.
I can understand how it happens... artists feel their responsibility, but they also exhausted, can't overcome their pressure to start drawing again.
Indeed Prina Saga is similar state. I can't re-start it easily, I'm feeling pressure that I have to draw even better panels than past episodes. It is so hard, honestly drawing new arts is far easier.
Also this syndrome hinders doing other futa projects...
Everytime I think about new futa ideas, I feel "Rather than it, I should resume to draw Prina..."
But I feel my responsibility of course. And most importantly, I love Prina, Yunia and all characters.
So I'll overcome this syndrome!
[Conclusion]
There is no instant cure potion for this situation, but I feel I could organized my thoughts.
And I wish you can see something from my long journal...
My English is crude, so it may have misleading sentences. I hope to cover them as reply comments if possible.
Now, I feel I should do something, or stop something, not only thinking.
Probably I should resume to draw Prina in even very slow speed?
I'm afraid to show it slowly, but it may be far better than nothing anyway...
I welcome your advice, suggestion and opinion. It may give me a good hint!
And thank you for your supports and readings for my works!!
