Be honest with me, guys… (Patreon)

Content

First off: this post is just me spilling my real feelings and struggles. If you're only here for the art and don't care about the behind-the-scenes stuff, please just scroll past or close this before reading. Thanks in advance.

These past 7 months… I know I haven't been at my best. Personal stuff, my own laziness and bad time management — I've sidelined projects or half-assed things way too often because I genuinely don't know what you all actually want, even when I ask over and over. This is my most desperate attempt yet to figure it out.

So please, tell me straight: What do you want from me? What should I focus on making?

I've spent these 7 months trying to find that sweet spot where everyone's happy, staying up late, pouring extra time in — but nothing changes. I'm exhausted, my head's spinning, and I'm basically on my knees begging: just tell me what you want.

A few months back I pushed really hard to improve my comics and sequences… and it got the same reaction as always.

I make stories, tons of alts, photos, whatever. When people ask for OCs, I do them, then they switch to anime/game characters. When I do anime/games, it flips back. A lot of you say “just draw what you want,” but when I do that… it somehow turns out even worse.

I'm seriously lost. Every day is this constant anxiety loop: scared of doing the wrong thing, scared of not doing enough to make you happy. No matter how much I give, I end up in the exact same spot.

Please comment below, be brutally honest: What do you actually want most from my content? What are you looking for that I'm missing? What do you think is making my quality drop for you?

I really, really want to fix this… so I can keep going and actually deliver what you deserve.

Thank you for reading if you made it this far. Your words could genuinely help me turn things around.

Quality is perfect, maybe more nsfw can help ^^ the rest is perfect! You're a good artist ♡

Mr Midnight

If I’m being honest, I do prefer the anime/game stuff over ocs. I love your art style, and I’ll stay supportive even if you switch entirely to ocs. I guess if I had to say something else, don’t have too many wips in progress? Like maybe keep a stable balance and work in order? Or even have more votes to see what people want finished first

Blueaxol27

I love your art In all its form however some people have different preferences, I would say try doing more community votes to see what people want made. like with more famous characters from games, movies, etc.

Honestly I really like what you made recently. But I totally understand the busy stuff and irl stuff don't feel pushed about it. Take your time you need. Your content is still amazing. Maybe more votes. Anyway you are the greatest artist

Willow

I think the quality of your art is consistently high, every piece, regardless of whether or not I personally enjoy the content, is undeniably really good art. You'll never please everyone, so the sentiment of doing what you enjoy is definitely valid, as the chances are lots of others will enjoy it too. That said, I personally would love to see more furry characters from you, but that's my own personal taste ^^ Also, I adore your current roster of OC's very much, so art of them is very much appreciated ^^

I just joined more recently, mainly because I love your OCs a ton. Ashley has got to be a fav of mine. I love seeing you do anime characters and vtubers, but I definitely won’t complain if you do only your OCs. Your style is lovely and even when watching your art from the side from a long time it’s been a big inspiration. It’s hard to stay motivated and keep going sometimes when doing art, so I feel your struggle and hope you start to feel more inspired and happy soon 🫂 Perhaps just a focus on characters you enjoy for a while, a commission or two once a month, less alts, less stories, only do OCs. Whichever you feel is most appropriate!

I like your stuff OCs and all but I guess you could do popular characters from animes and videogames for a more mass appeal. Also I can understand the stress of art making and it only feels worse if it also affects your livelyhood but please take care of yourself. Nobody benefits from burning out or having a mental breakdown.

DarkDragon77

The quality is perfect how it is. I think what you’re doing now between pieces of anime and video game characters and OCs are perfect too. I just wish you would try to focus more on yourself and not stress yourself out too much about the negative criticism of others after all some people can’t be happy no matter what you put out. Maybe take a break for a while away from all this and just focus on yourself before you reach a breaking point.

I've been enjoying viewing your work over the last year, You are a wonderful artist with amazing meaty feet. While have been enjoying seeing your work on the anime/video game characters, i would love to see more from your OCs, like Ashley and her enemy the cop girl. But i think what you can do is put your OCs in the video games and anime worlds that you like. For example have Ashley in the anime Attack on Titan or One Piece. So combine both worlds together. Sometimes when i get artist block when working on my own 3d works, i find not stressing about it makes the ideas come along. So viewing other artists 3d work helps ,me with my own ideas and than my mind comes up with so many at once.

Ive noticed something and i think the problem might be the ammount of pieces you take and work on at the same time, i do think its an insane number of pieces for just one person I really think it would be best to reduce the number of pieces for each month for the sake of you health🙏 You may think that would just mean that people will be mad for not pumping lots of works quickly but that will not be the case at all, trust me we will understand if you have to take your time I really really love your style of drawing Somehow you always manage to acurately draw the expressions and proportions of the characters perfectly and the stories and dialogues you come up with are equally amazing for both your fanart and your oc works Your Gobbo and ashley works are some of my favorite works period I've come to really appreciate your presence in my life and its always nice to see the little notification that you posted some awesome stuff You are an incredible artist and i do think your artwork is worth waiting for so please consider my words or at least some of them, i really hope any of the things we suggest can improve your quality of life in any way💝

The answer is honestly, you need to do less. You go WAY out of your way to do a billion alts just to appease everyone. But that's just it, you can't, no artist can. It is impossible to please all of your fans at once. Some of us like me LOVE clean footed tickling. Other fans of your love smelly dirty feet, and some hate tickling. Some just want FJ stuff and devious content while others just want feet only. Obviously these groups are not going to love every pic. Unless you want to draw every single fetish involving feet that there is as alts for every single pic, you can't appease everyone hun. It just it not feasible. This is why so many of us keep saying over and over to draw what YOU want. Draw what gives you passion. Some people will hate it, others will love it. We all keep saying this for a reason. But if you keep trying to appease all types of people at the same time, you're just going to end up hurting yourself. Because again, NO artist can do that hun. Draw your OCs, draw a popular character here and there. Draw some requests sometimes. And draw things that only you want to see. Most importantly draw pics with ZERO alts as well! People WILL come and go. Some people will loose interest in your art and go away. Other people will be new and love your stuff and want to join. That is why it is so important to NOT try to draw what every single fan wants. You're just tormenting yourself trying to do an impossible task. Just honestly hun, draw the things you like, and take some requests here and there if you want to. Post pics online to other sites to advertise, do some commissions here and there, and try not to let metrics get to you. Those exists literally to make you desperate to increase them. You're buying to much into that stuff. Cause look, the quality of your work is amazing. Its always been great and you do improve over time on top of it. But fans leaving and moving on is VERY VERY normal for artists. It is not some grand failing on your part. People change. New people come in. That is why it is important to first and foremost draw things that are making YOU happy. I seriously cannot stress this enough hun. Cause you wanna know what I would WANT to see? What would make me the most excited out of anything? Pics of exclusively clean feet getting tickled by rough tickle tools is what I desire most in fetish pics. But, you don't want to draw only that at all, do you? You wouldn't want to have to draw a tickle alt for every pic would you? You want to draw devious things, smelly things, dirty things! Things I personally would have no interest in! To which I say GOOD! Draw YOUR passions! If you wanna throw a tickly bone my way here and there I'd of course love that. But I'd rather you be happy with what you are drawing than constantly catering to me and everyone else's specific interests. So again hun, when we say to draw what makes YOU happy, by god we truly truly mean it.

More socked foot alts. That’s it.

I think you're doing too much and you need time for yourself or workout a work/life balance. Don't let us be the deciding factor on how you take time on art versus your free time or work. Don't let this dwindle your mental health either. Your quality by the way is amazing and I wouldn't change a thing in regards to quality. Have a nice day Rotten!

AlexCJ2k

Just do what’s best for you don’t work or push yourself to hard to improve us just take the time and do things that you like to do most and that you enjoy doing that’s it. As a fan don’t push or go to far just to make yourself into a braking point do what you can your art is still perfect and beautiful, an if you time off that’s also fine

SirSixShooter95

To add to my comment from earlier; if you need to, go seek help if you don't feel mentally healthy. There's nothing wrong with seeking help and I'm pretty sure that me and everyone of your REAL fans will understand. If others don't like it, then screw them; tell them to kick rocks. I have a friend who was on verge of committing harm to himself and he seeked help from professionals and me. Not saying this to scare you or to say that you're going down that path, but that is reality. At the end of the day, you need to take care of yourself and remember that you're not alone. Long comment but take care Rotten.

Honestly I think your quality is constantly improving. However I think the main problem is taking on too many art pieces at the same time, it's running you ragged physically, mentally, and emotionally, add to the fact that you do alts, stories, and dialog for each character and draw many characters at once at the same time. My advice is finish off all the unfinished work you currently have, then you could start a new art pieces after that, but try to take on significantly less art pieces than you did before so you still have time for yourself. Also more votes can narrow down what people want in terms of characters, and the situation the character is in, after everyone types out the character they want, you can start a poll, then after the most voted characters is chosen you do the same for what situation to put them in, in the end no one can get upset at that. Most importantly, draw what YOU WANT to draw. You need to take a moment and forget about what others want, and draw something that makes you happy. Also very important is to not be to hard on yourself you're an amazing artist but you're only one person, don't burn out yourself, everyone here is patient and willing to wait to give you as much time is needed.

I second the previous comments - we don't need a billion works being worked on at once or every variant possible! Try to focus on one or two pieces at a time, do variants that you like or make the most sense for the character/scenario, and remember to enjoy doing art! (Even if it means doing characters you want or taking breaks at times). I think all of us here appreciate the effort you put in, and the quality of your work has only been improving with time! If monetary support is what you're more concerned about - make sure to spend time promoting your art on DA/twitter/pixiv and be stringent with your anti-piracy measures. Often those matter much more in drawing people than how many works you're able to put out in a given amount of time. And remember to take care of yourself irl too!! ❤❤❤

PortalBomb

I enjoy both your OCs and anime/video game art. Maybe monthly vote should only be single art or with lesser alts. Even maybe no story for comms if it reduce your workload even a bit.

Dunkledore

I love your art both when it's OCs and fanart. I love a mix of both because your OC designs are so freaking cute! And when you do fanart I love how your style in particular captures them. I say just go at your own pace and know you have plenty of folks here who support you! I'm personally happy with any art you post :)

Vanix

While I enjoy both the fanart and OC stuff. If I had to pick, I would go with the OC stuff a bit more and make it like the art. I enjoy your comic stuff as well, but I don't mind that being here and there with it.

Gornyetch

I mostly prefer the anime/videogame fanart. I personally don't really care that much either way about variations for each pic (beyond maybe bare foot vs socked), so I wouldn't mind if you did less of those if it reduced your workload/lowered your stress.

EXDPonWakeup

I think we would all be happy to see you working at a pace that makes you happy first and foremost. You’re making masterpieces, and I believe that most of us understand that takes time and effort. I don’t believe any of us want to see you rushing yourself into exhaustion. As much as I am here for the art, you’re also a human being as much as us and I feel it’s reasonable for us to remind ourselves that you have a limit. I’m honestly asking that you do as much of your best as you can muster, but also take as much breaks as you need!
