I've had this debate off and on for some time, now, and it's finally come to a rolling boil after some discussions with a friend. I think I need to take this stuff down.

The only reason I started this gallery was because I didn't want uncomfortable questions being asked on my other gallery when I had the urge to draw and post a picture of someone with a large belly. I didn't really expect it to get this popular, especially when my regular gallery tended to languish. So ... when this gallery quickly outstripped the regular one as far as pageviews and favorites and the like, it gave me pause. I had to look back and try to figure out what I was doing on this account that I wasn't on the other.

And after looking at it ... well, basically it's because I've been doing porn. Softcore, maybe, with no naughty bits sticking out, but ... porn. Fap material. And I guess I'm not really comfortable with that, especially when it dawns on me that I'm apparently better known and liked as a pornographer than as a clean scribbler. (I know, pity party BAAAWWW ...) And, as I've mentioned before, I seem to be "corrupting" people into my interests because I make it look "cute." I'm not used to this whole leading-by-example thing, and maybe I ought to try to do this for something worthwhile instead.

So I think the best course of action would be to clear this gallery. Take down the pictures, focus on improving my scribbles, and hope maybe people will someday like the clean stuff I do half as much as they drool over the dirty. I know I hate it when good artists do that, but ... it just doesn't feel right.

Update 16-17 August 2008: Well, I posted the last picture a week ago and gave you guys fair warning. The gallery is empty and there probably won't be any new pics - so, go over to this gallery to see my clean stuff. It'll have to suffice.
