   I’m not a member of dA, but I’ve been watching the tournament ever since your first announcement you put up here. You’re a phenomenal artist, but you’ve got stiff competition too. Good luck against Paladin.

   Also, I took a look through your gallery on dA, and all I can say is this: You deserve national recognition. Why do you squander your wealth of talent on pornography? Fetish pornography at that. I’ll admit I arrived for the boobs, but I want to see you flex your full range of artistic and story-telling muscles.

   Man you comment is sad… sad but true!(thaam thaam tarara=rara*) Not that I really think I deserve national recognition (no artist should think that unless it become true and all for his artwork alone) but I believe I deserve something better.

   You pinched my frustrated artistic nerve and gave me motivation. Sometimes I get depressed about all the porn I have been doing for living… It’s like all the hard work learning to draw and storytelling going down hill.

   Slimy Thief is a personal achievement. I finally doing original comic with my characters you can see that I’m slowly putting the porn aside. I have nothing against porn (I’m no prudee) but it really makes artists get stuck.

   Thanks for the wake up.

   Sorry if my last message was rude. I didn’t mean to come across so roughly, and I’ve spent the last week trying to come up with a way to word a reply so it’s a little softer.

   I can understand the tendency toward pornography, though. No other subject matter is guaranteed to rake in money, so it’s always a tempting solution. My advice, at the risk of sounding condescending (I’m not trying to insult your intelligence), is to present your material to as many publishers as you can. The advice I got was, just go down the line saying, “I’ve got a comic I was published,” to everyone you can see until someone agrees to it. Once you’re established, look for a bigger publishing house. So far as I can tell, you have every necessary skill to pull this off. Why look backward?

   It wasn’t rude at all man. Just hit the nerve. It’s something I aways debating with myself. Yeah the advice is valid, even if it’s more of the same. I feel like a sissy aways looking for shortcuts to earn the money.

   It’s good to hear that from outside, take us foward.

   I think this Slimy Thief has potential even with all fetishm embued. I think it’s something like Adam Warrem`s Empowered. That’s where I’m going.
