New Icon :)
Added 2020-12-04 01:13:44 +0000 UTCI hate looking at that really old art lol but thought it'd be fun to put these together to compare lol~ The first one is probably uhhm circa 2012-ish? And the middle is 2016. Idk if I like the new one yet, I've gotta look at it for awhile and decide 9o9
I've had this avi for so long that I forget frequently that people don't know the source of it, and especially they don't know it's not meant to be ME. He's a mascot character I drew a lot when I was posting a lot on y!gallery, who I (embarrassingly) just called "y/aoi boy" (It was a different time on the internet lol.) The first icon here is actually a later artwork of him, I had been drawing him for a long while before 2012. He has no real development or substance because the only thing I decided when I created him was that he was a slut, and when I later tried to build out some other characterization it would all fall apart because giving him any other personality traits made him not slutty enough u-u But I cannot delete him because anything else feels wrong uuu-uuu
Anyway I look forward to aging him up as I age and he will eventually go full daddy, in whatever art style I have when I'm 60~~

Oh wow, you were in that contest!! I've unfortunately lost all of that art so I couldn't remind myself about the logistics about that contest lolll, I'm kinda embarrassed about it now and retroactively touched that many people got involved who I didn't expect~ I wish that a small creative community like Y!gal existed now, it was really fun in the early days!

2020-12-14 22:14:41 +0000 UTCYesss, love this character! It's so cool to have OCs for so long that they start growing along with you! I've been following your work since y!gallery days, i actually joined a fanart contest you had on there for people to draw him long ago :) I've always loved your style and though I agree it hurts to look back and i really love your stuff now, i liked it a lot then too! Your work has always been very inspirational to me, and I'm so happy you're still going strong. Also happy to see that a little piece of that history is still following with this icon too! Awesome ~

2020-12-05 23:20:24 +0000 UTCOh yay! I’ve kind of wondered about your icon before. Also I like what you said about pronouns above because I feel exactly the same way!

2020-12-04 15:16:01 +0000 UTCThe evolution is amazing, it's like different photos of different ages! I love the new drawing and that the finger and arrows point to the missing canine.

2020-12-04 08:06:13 +0000 UTCAt the risk of sounding innapropriate, you've already hit dad territory. When I looked at the third image I had to do a double take cuz Y-Boy looks exactly like my father. 😂 (My dad was a young parent and has a baby face.)

2020-12-04 02:55:12 +0000 UTCHm! I don't think it'd be weird, tho I honestly don't know whether I'd be up to drawing him again? It was kind of disappointing when I tried to flesh him out into a more rounded character and nothing felt right, so I don't really know... WHO he is, if that makes sense? So I'm not sure what context would be interesting for me to draw him in. But I wouldn't mind seeing those requests and thinking more about it!

2020-12-04 02:35:26 +0000 UTCY!gallery, the source of all my nsfw of him, got completely purged, and I self-purged a lot of my older sfw art, so I'm not sure how much of him still exists online now for you to find; this is maybe the oldest thing I have left, from 2006 (the description is really cringe, I was 22 when I posted this, oh no) https://www.deviantart.com/reapersun/art/King-of-Swords-31766315 I also did this style meme of him in 2011, when I was calling him Jack: https://www.deviantart.com/reapersun/art/Pixiv-style-meme-211254986 If you do any more digging then I sincerely apologize if you find any of my old weird shit... I've been on the internet for too long and made a lotta mistakes OwO

2020-12-04 02:24:47 +0000 UTCi love your new icon and i love your slutty yaoi boy! ;_; would it be weird to request him sometime in the monthly requests?

2020-12-04 01:50:31 +0000 UTCWhat a throwback! That first one was what I remember when I first started following your work 😂 it’s been such a pleasure watching your art grow 🙌🏻

2020-12-04 01:43:44 +0000 UTCOh god I think I started following you back in 2012 lol love it
2020-12-04 01:39:41 +0000 UTCI love that his hand is now the arrow! I had no clue about his origins but now.... I'd really like to see more? lol Should I journey down this rabbit hole? Do I need breadcrumbs? lol

2020-12-04 01:36:02 +0000 UTCI’ve been a fan since your y!gallery days and I’m so glad I found you on Patreon now
2020-12-04 01:30:04 +0000 UTCI like they/them, but I'm generally fine with however people refer to me; I don't really talk about my preference because I never want anyone correcting others about my pronouns if they use different ones. Gender is not an important part of my identity, to me personally.

2020-12-04 01:19:03 +0000 UTCJust curious because I honestly don't know, but what are your pronouns? Or if you use multiple, your preferred pronouns?
