When I created this “After Dark” account 18 months ago, I wasn’t sure how much use I would actually get out of it. I just wanted a means to keep any NSFW images I should happen to make separate from my main account. As it turned out, these last 18 months have probably been some of my most productive ever.

Part of it is probably due to the novelty of making lewd feral pics. This is not something I have done previously, and I have to admit it’s been fun. But I also made a concerted effort to put in a little time (almost) every day to work on art, even if it was just 20 mins before bed. Often, those 20 minutes became 2 hours. My sleep schedule no doubt suffered, but I have a much fuller gallery in return :)

Another likely factor is that I had a kind of “secret” mission motivating me – to make fan art for artists that inspired me and/or of interesting OCs – this was both a convenient way to practice, as I don’t have many OCs of my own, but also to show my appreciation for their work. I’m happy to say that I’ve managed to complete pics for most of the people on my initial “list.” Unfortunately, that list was hardly exhaustive, so I hope any omissions are not viewed negatively. There are a few outstanding projects I still hope to eventually complete…but my time is limited.

Going forward, I hope to keep posting when I can, but realistically, I don’t expect that to happen often. Very soon, some significant (positive) life events are going consume all of my free time – probably for the next year or two, but maybe for the next 18 years ;) If my activity drops off next month, know that I have appreciated the comments and feedback and am gladdened if my work connects to you in some way.
