Hello everyone, Ecchi here. I haven't been around these parts in a while, and by these parts, I mean online. 2020 and 2021, quite the pair of years. You'd think that as a shut-in type of artist, I'd be in my element during a catastrophe that necessitates the avoidance of any and all social contact. For me, a day during the Corona plague could have been just another day in the studio, another day spent happily huddled over my monitor, drawing pretty cartoon girls. But during these bleak, nearly 730 days, circumstances have made my carefully crafted artworker's paradise a distant dream whose shores I rarely visit.

These have been trying years for ole Ecchi. No art and so many responsibilities. So many for whom to care. It seemed the self-centered time of my youth, with its carefree spilling of creative juices on the digital canvas, had come to an end.

Nevertheless, here I am two years later, alive, older, and fatter (or thinner, depending on the era). Though I've barely picked up a pencil, or turned on my work PC during these two years, the inner fire, no matter how many times life has conspired to snuff or suppress it, that drive and desire to create art still burns away within.

As part of reconnecting with my passions, I've been doing some deep cleaning in my head, my surroundings, and on my computer. When it comes to digital files though, the word "reminiscing" might be more accurate. As I plumbed the depths of directories long forgotten, I happened upon a cache of recordings from several years back, during my golden time of artistic productivity… A time (mostly) before kids, before Coronavirus, and before people around me started dying or needing constant care.

This is a video from that archive, a simple screen capture, a partial process. As I rediscovered and rewatched the archive, I thought, I may as well share anything interesting. I've watched my fair share of art process videos over the years and learned a good amount along the way. Perhaps this is useful for someone?


About the video:

The original capture was about 40 minutes, during which I broke down and rebuilt the thumbnail's geometry. For ease of watching the playback is set to 16X throughout most of the length.

Unfortunately, for whatever reason, I stopped recording after the rough draft. This is all I have for Kurvy. Regardless, I wouldn't have been able to post any of the more...developed work… here. Creating hentai art and staying within the boundaries of YouTube's content guidelines is sure to prove a challenge. We'll see what's possible.

So, in full knowledge that this video is nothing special, I wanted to edit it together and post it anyway. It's a new start.

See you later friends and fellow travelers,

--Ecchi
