So... I've said I wanted to shift towards more SFW images, and this one would be part of that commitment. I kind of realized that I don’t have any single non-lewd image featuring my first character Samantha, so there she is? very anime! ever so slightly “Woman with Parasol” by Monet? Whatever! I wanted to try something different! more tranquil. Touch some grass if you will! I’d highly recommend that “touching grass”, I cycle quite a bit, hanging out in nature is a very soothing thing to do.

what next? probably something VERY NSFW actually (only as “sketches” tho), but then back to one SFW request (I know which one) and then… I dunno? I still have more than a few projects of my own.

I know some would like me to go back to working on commissions but the thing is: “I don’t want to”, receiving money for my images only puts stress on me, gives me the feeling that “I’m failing to deliver” etc. but when I work for free I get to have impenetrable shield of “screw this! it was free!” [or if I work for myself it’s "no one will care anyway”]. So thus I can put aside any woes about “Am I meeting quality expectations?” and can postpone or even cancel any work at any time if I feel like doing so…
for the record: all my commissioners (and would-be-commissioners) were always very cordial and nice to me! So it’s just a standard I put onto myself.
