hey love i saw your post about moving on twitter and the tagging issue you mentioned i hope this isnt too obvious cause you might already know but people make threads on there!! you can pin a tweet to your profile and add all your threads or fanarts to it to keep everything neat and together, there is also an option to create "moments" where you can add everything to one place or for instance your proudest works so people will know what they can expect from your account and follow!!
I do know about threads, but it seemed unwieldy to make for example, one giant hanzo thread LOL, same with how many moments iād have to make. I do appreciate you trying to help though :D so far iāve just been including character names so if you search my handle + name you SHOULD get all the pics of that character, but i can always compile into a moment later if the situation changesIf you guys are still here and not on twitter my handle is @ spikyhoney so follow me there for archive of old art + new art (??)
HEY everyone, since this blog will likely be wiped in about 2-3 days, Iāve started re-archiving things to twitter! Please find me here:

Since it seems tumblr will ban nsfw art completly now do you have anyother places to follow for nsfwart?
Yes I have heard about this umm right now I donāt have anything set up but I can probable re-upload everything to twitter or something? Even if I donāt post anymore it should be archived there Iāll post a link for everyone when it get it up before the 17th for sure! I am not sure what better options there are because I only use twitter and tumblr these days really
Is everything going okay on your end? It's been seven months since you last posted anything!
Iām okay!! thank you for asking, i am just so busy right now (So not more family stuff!) :( I donāt have any more cons in the fall/winter so i may start posting then, iām not sure right now! but iām doing well :)Ā
Currently on a creative hiatus on all my accounts, family stuff happened thatās kinda made me not able to draw / create anything for a while. When I can get back into drawing regular stuff iāll start up back here too ;n; sorry!
Now, take my advice with a grain of salt since I myself am a bi woman, but I do think not offering m/m might be your best option. It's not meant as a slight, it's just something that's really out of your expertise, if that makes sense.
Just wanted to say in general thank you to everyone who left messages and replies with advice! (obviously i can not reply to the anon ones privately, but do know Iāve read them all!)I do not take this as a slight at all, I donāt know why I just didnāt do that in the first place. I guess i was afraid of leaving people out or something and ended up being even more confusing as a result. Other than the few anon asks I donāt think Iāve even had anyone really want it, so I probably will just say no m/m just because like you said, itās totally not my expertise and itās not fun for me so thereās no point in doing it on a for fun blog.Ā ANYWAY SORRY FOR TWO LONG TEXTS POSTS IN A ROW, thanks again for everyone who left a message, multiple people of different gender/orientations have said this is probably the easiest and best option so iām probably sticking with this for now :)
EDIT: one option iām considering right now is just not offering m/m period, the up charge is just confusing and leads to "valuingā of things when i should just assert itās a preference for this blog. This seems like the best option i had not considered!
This isnāt porn so you donāt have to read but I got a message on tumblr that I think misinterprets why I do things and made me realize that Idk either i need to change my policies/prices or clarify something, iām not sure. If youāre an LGBT follower I welcome your feedback.
The message in question basically tried to say i wasĀ ābraveā for not drawing m/m and that they would also charge extra for all their lgbt commissions. (Context: My explanation / policy >>HERE<<) They also misread my information sheet and assumed i also charged more for f/f, i do not but this is only tangential i think.Ā
I have to address this publicly because I think this means iāve been giving off the wrong message which i would deeply regret, more after the cut if you care lol v_v (itās really long itās REALLY OKAY To just skip this post lol)
Firstly, I am notĀ ābraveā for drawing het porn. No one is brave to draw the status quo and majority. No one is brave for trying to exclusively draw it either. I do not get harassment about this. Iāve gotten a few asks, maybe ONE slightly pass-aggressive ask from an anon who was probably rightfully fearful to attach their name to their question. This is NOT harassment. Questioning a policy is not harassment, I have never been and probably never will be harassed for wanting to draw het porn. IT IS NOT BRAVERY to draw a LOW RISK PORN.Ā
Next. For my full price commissions, I do not charge more for lgbt content. m/m f/f or any thing else related to gender, sexuality, or race/ethnicity. I either draw something or I do not, if it takes me more time I charge more. If I were to open full price nsfw commissions on my main or on here, I would not have a price differentiation for m/m. The only only only reason I have one here as stated in my policy is because I am charging BELOW FULL PRICE for ALL the work I do on this blog, part of the payment is the fun of drawing specially women having fun. I personally do not have fun drawing m/m porn, so I charge a little more to compensate. Ā If you need to do that for your REGULAR FULL PRICE COMMISSIONS, you canāt use that excuse? Or else youāre saying you under charge for everything else you draw??Ā
I may have mistakenly thought this was okay. Cause we as a society tend to give a lot of leeway to porn we wouldnāt for other things. Like Oh thatās just their kink, they donāt actually like that irl, etc. And I figured, especially because this policy was for porn, and because I perceived tumblr as a space with lots of m/m artists already that this policy was okay. Iām wondering if I was wrong though. Clearly at least one person is getting the wrong idea from this, that itās okay to charge more for all lgbt art because theyĀ ādonāt like itā, which i mean kind of the only difference is that oneās porn and oneās not.Ā
I guess the final thing is, Iām not sure how to fix this. My target audience is straight and bi women who feel under-served by existing nsfw art, I donāt think iām alienating any mlm by wanting to serve people similar to me nor am i interested in serving straight women who just like mlm art. BUT it seems my actions have inadvertently made people feel like they should be allowed to do things I would normally feel are wrong. I feel like my only options are to eitherĀ
A. Raise my commission prices to be inline with my real prices and accept all gender/orientation pairingsĀ
B. Not do commissions at all.Ā
Where in A. means a lot of people will be priced out of commissions and B means.. no one gets nsfw commissions ever. You may ask, what about an option C. where you just donāt charge more for m/m? And I would point you back to my original explanation. I just really donāt have the time in my life right now or any time in the future that I can see where i would draw something I just donāt have fun drawing for a heavily discounted price, if all of my slots were taken by people wanting m/m porn I would just be not having fun AND not be paid enough which at that point, i could just be doing my normal work and be paid enough.Ā
So there in lies the rub. I guess I have to think more about what kind of ramifications these policies have beyond my intentions. This is also why I wanted to hear from any LGBT followers, straight people should probably not offer an opinion as we are not the ones who would be hurt by these issues, thank you. Maybe iām just being naively hopeful that I donāt have to change anything.. but.. idk, that message was pretty damning to me and really hecked my morning up. What should i do T_T
Okay Iām not making a whole new post, just like last time you can find the old info thatās identical >>HERE<<Ā remember itās not limited to ovw characters!
Only changes are dates, this is for the summer events so Iād like to get the commissions done sometime this week and early next week, POTENTIALLY some might get delayed till after otakon (Around the 14th-15th) but thatās worse case.
There will be 3 or 4 slots, please claim a slot by sending me an ASK! Help me by including how many characters in the picture and if you wanted more than one slot etc, the details/refs can be sent later. Iāll reply w/ more info tomorrow / if i see them before i sleep.
This post will be crossed out / struck through when slots are full THANKS!
Processing requests right now, slots are tentatively full. If anyone drops out the post will be updated. Thank you for responding so quickly! <3
