Okay this is a bit much for me to just try putting out here, but please stick with me! I am fighting for my best life. I met with my dream surgeon, to get top surgery, and am trying to offer art to help me get there!!

First, I won’t bring up cost here, but I’ll drop the gofundme so you can find out more info if you’d like 🌻

Hi, I’m Luke, and I’ve been trying to get top surgery for over ten years. F… Luke Orion needs your support for Help Luke Achieve Freedo

Anyways, here’s the actual point here. Commissions would really help so much! My prices start at $5, and I even have some things in my shop! An original storybook/audiobook, photography, character adopts, and these little home and lock screen sets I’ve been making for $5!

Support Luke Orion on Ko-Fi!

Thank you for any support you can afford, even just your time and button pushing energy 🥰🖤

But seriously though. Learning to draw fat people will make you a much better artist. Understanding how skin and fat behaves and folds in certain poses, and being able to adapt complex poses to fit a fat body (as usually references are with thin models) will help you TREMENDOUSLY. Drawing fat being properly affected by gravity will aid you in ALL figure drawing in the future. Like if you have any sort of interest in drawing humanoid figures (AND furries) you really ought to learn how to draw fat of all kind.

I always thought Reddit was a place where people could share things they created.A few days ago I posted one of my original paintings. People loved it. We had wonderful conversations about art, emotions, and how everyone saw something different in the same sunset.

About two hours later I was permanently banned from r/MadeMeSmile for “self-promotion.”

I accepted that different communities have different rules.But then something even stranger happened.Soon afterward, a moderator from r/pics started going through my account. Not just the new post—many of my older painting posts disappeared as well. One after another. Then I was permanently banned there too.

Maybe it was the same moderator. Maybe it wasn’t. I honestly don’t know.

What surprised me wasn’t even the ban itself. It was realizing how much power individual moderators have over what millions of people are allowed to see. One decision can erase years of posts from a community and instantly cut off your ability to participate, even if those posts had been happily sitting there for months or years.I’m not saying moderators shouldn’t have rules. Communities need moderation.But it does make you wonder where the line is between protecting a community and allowing a single interpretation of the rules to completely reshape what people can share.

The funny part?

I wasn’t advertising anything in those posts. I wasn’t posting prices or asking anyone to buy anything. I was simply sharing my original paintings because I enjoy discussing art with strangers from around the world.

Anyway…

Here’s the painting that apparently caused all the trouble. 🎨
