February Pin-up - Ox-King (plus creative vent) (Patreon)

 2024 has been a year of disappointment and frustration regarding how my art is perceived. I even pulled a brake on The Fox's wedding because of the void of reception it has from everywhere... I need to refill my passion battery, because I only run on that.

 The come back of pin-ups had a similar feeling. Why should I try something that speaks to my artistic voice? It's pointless. No one appreciates it.

 So I went with the cheapest and most cliché trick on the book - a buff man standing with a bicep flex. There's something flavorful about it, even though I do prefer to pull this pose in the composition with the character actually engaging in something I can tell a story.

 Sorry for sounding melancholic but that's how it's been those last few weeks. You can even notice my production slowed down.
