MLP- Final.- This Has Been a LONG Time Coming
So, as the title says, it has. *sighs*
This has been something I've given a great deal of thought to over the years and discussed on several points with many people who occupy many different places on the stage with me. Other Artists whom I've grown to respect, loved ones, friends, family and people whom I have no real name for what they mean to me. No need to try and change my mind, one way or another. Not trying to be dismissive but Trust me, I've already considered this WAY more than you have, love and with much heavier and likely more personal reasons.
Here's a journal that explains things in more detail-
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9101982/
In short, I'll leave it at this- depending upon how much you like my work and your individual interests you're either about to get some new reasons to really enjoy our time together, lovely watcher- or you're about to REALLY hate my goofy ass. *smirks*
Love yourselves and love one another, beautiful watcher. Ave Lucifer.

That is a shame. I can't say I agree with any artist making it impossible to view their old work, but I know it's not my decision to make. I understand your reasoning, though.
My suggestion (and it's just a suggestion) would be to create an archive of it somewhere in case people ask for the old pages. That way everyone wins. no random passers-by find it, but the people who enjoy it can still get it.
Just a thought. Looking forward to what you come up with in the future.

Thank you for the well wishes. I'm glad that you would look forward to what I do. *smiles* Fuzzies.... *beams*
However- I don't think you're quite getting what it is I'm doing, or why, more importantly. It seems only one person who's commented has that far. I suppose that might be my failing in communication but I have said it very plainly. I know I stated it in the comic and again in the journal, that the "age" of the comics has nothing to do with it, yet for some reason people seem to have latched onto that point.... I'll be leaving up things much older, some with GLARING technical flaws or poor construction on an intellectual level. I recall one piece in particular in which I left a large discoloured panel on. Urf.
This is a matter of ethics and responsibility for the messages I put forth. The comics in question were badly built and did not address the issues I wanted them to. If anything, they actually expressed a perspective I am and for a very long time- at least consciously- have found anaethema to me. Putting them in another folder is not an option. As I stated in the above comic, leaving such things out for viewing is repeating the same message I don't agree with, just in a slightly different location. As I actually have the option on the internet to delete or remove things which I find harmful or needlessly hurtful I can see no rational reason not to.

Your avi is cute by the way. I've always meant to say that.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying. Sorry I didn't quite understand before.
And thank you so kindly! That genuinely means more to me than I can express. I do a lot of digital art including a comic called "Moonlight Angel," about a person who becomes a demon through a desperate set of circumstances. I'd absolutely love to hear your thoughts on it if you ever would like to check it out. No worries either way, of course. =)

I'll give ya this Ashley, I normally hate seeing that "kill the ponies" stuff on here... but your stuff managed to make me cackle like a loon just from sheer creativity.
One of my exes once sent me images once of bottles of glitter glue with sad pictures of individual ponies on them and I just found it dark and depressing, but a comic where Cookie Monster goes feral and cannibalizes someone? Thats both psychotic and absurd and I laughed so hard my cheeks hurt.

I can honestly agree, love. thank you for the compliment.
The one you mentioned is an example of a good joke. The point was a bit of a play-on-words with the character name and the established behaviour of Cookie Monster... or is he "Diabetes Awareness Monster" now? I've heard rumours. I dunno. *shrugs* either way, those base elements are there but then it gets dialed up to 11 and thrown in the blender and thatone I'm still proud of. It's not trying to basically make a joke out of "yucking someone else's yum" which is kind of how I've come to view the majority of the rest of the series as I presented them.

But not really. I'm very proud of much of the work FAR older than this.
I'm not sure why several folkes have made this notion of "A folder for older things" when I actually stated in the comic above that it's not a matter of the age or quality of the art, alying out why that didn't matter specifically.
It's the message itself being incorrect. I effectively put up a Motley Crue poster, calling it Wayne Newton and didn't realize it for a good 6 years. *shakes her head, laughing*

But yeah, I know how you feel. I've honestly been meaning to take down some of the stuff on my gallery too, or at least move it into a separate folder for older things... I'd probably have a lot more drive if I still updated my damn gallery mind, but yeah. A lot of it is from relationships I had long past now, a couple of which ended pretty badly.
In my own art, I prefer to keep my misfires if I published them, because then people see how I grown. Yes, some may be nasty, but i develop, I put some effort in them. I changed too.
We all change, and as you wrote, there is a point on both sides. The main thing is that we learn from them, and can go forward.
Like you do.
Thank you.

Like I said, the main point isn't that. That's not even up for debate. I already have all of the originals of my work, as I work in traditional medium. I already keep them and learn from them so that's a non-issue.
The problem is, as even you have said before in other postings, love, that in my work, I never did say why I was doing the things I -or the prinnies- did. In the comics themselves, there's no real message besides "Murdering things is magic"- and that's pretty horrible. That's a message which isn't worth keeping up there any longer for my purposes. This is about responsibility, MY responsibility, for the things I use my talents to create and express, what I say in my own voice as anartist- and this shit is frankly not worth saying, not like this.
By the way, when are you ever coming back to Chrissie's Minecraft server? Your castle is pretty awesome but still looks like it's incomplete...

Wait- really? Oh hon, if that's the issue, I'll let Chrissie know right away. I think she may have thought you were upset with her or me or something and that was why you were gone...
Your castle/keep/mountainside retreat does look pretty cool, just FYI. I was looking at the design for one part of it as inspiration for the construction in my own work.

(<--- Them ain't coffee. Them's hooch!)
Thank you for your support and encouragement in this affair, lover. It means quite a great deal to me.
If I were to rob every grave in the world and tear open the chest of every corpse I found, I could never locate any shred of flesh or scrap of decay as black and cold or as uniquely intriguing in it's spledour and beauty to me as you.
I don't remember those MLP comics, but, well, I soemtimes have the memory of a goldfish cracker... :p
If I may ask, since you gave it much thought, why did you decide to not just leave them up and provide context, like the date does, in the 'description' section, as I've seen you do in many of your artwork? Explain what the intended message was and how you realized, afterwards, the mistakes made when creating the comic and how it failed to convey your message?
