Hidden in Plain Sight.

[Kalamos]

Dunno, maybe I got a large head about it, but I've been around since 2003...
One would expect ppl to be reasonably familiar with my pics, by now.

...

Oh, well. 😉

Well, like she said, TMF doesn't seem to have a very high appreciation for the arts. It's their loss.

Maybe they just have an appreciation for a different genre.
Dunno.

I cannot really dwell on it too much.
Dwelling on things leads to brooding.
That's something I do too often anyway.
It's bad for my health.

...

Sure, it gets depressing, but weren't it for my mood swings, it wouldn't be a prob.
I am fully aware there is a "silent majority" behind the vocal minority.
Maybe they won't comment on our pics, but as long as they watch, share or buy, it's ok with me.
I have no probs bumping my own threads when I feel they have been overlooked.

...

My current aim is getting better, and maybe regain my older drawing endurance - when I was 18 I could churn out pics by the ton without flinching.

I've seen stuff that would blow the forums away.
But ppl don't get there without a measure of work and a lot of ice tea.

😀

and the drugs. Can't forget about those.

Are you joking? With the kind of mood swings I have, amphibians fight to get a lick off of me.

...

It was a mood swing to lead me here in the first place.

 

[Umojar]

Google lead me here. :/

 

[Kalamos]

Google lead me here. :/

You're not good at taking a bardic hint eh?
I was about to summon my "longwinded overarching plot exposition" spell.
And you blew it.

...

😉

...

Oh well, I'm going to tell anyway.

...

Someday.

 

[Kalamos]

Passed 28k.
Got filmed as a fetish actor.
Got published as a fetish artist.

...

Could use some tea to celebrate.

 

[His Divine Shadow]

I'd buy you tea, but there's the problem of the ocean in between us. Congratulations, K-man! :happy:

 

[Kalamos]

Congratulations, K-man! :happy:

Tnx... 🙂
I'm on a drawing spree, so I'll be posting cameos and teaser pics soon.

...

I even tried drawing manga chars and scenarios.
You'll see.

14 new K-illustrations.... you been busy! I'd needle you about where you found the time for an acting career, but I've learned not to provoke super-achievers. Simply, congrats. You'll have to go some to top this for 29K!

Hehehe... well... I ate a lot, slept not enough, and basically became a wreck.
But, in the end, we managed to do it.

...

I'll tell you more after they release the vids - I guess those are going to be some treat for 29k, or maybe 30...

Ah, and I have some cameos to show around.
Hope you'll like them.
Feels weird drawing, without knowing what ppl say.
I don't think MTJ's got a feature to track users' reactions.

I wouldn't mind knowing what they think about this portfolio of mine.
Well... as long as it won't hurt my ego too much...

😉

Bump! Reason: 29K looming. Let's push it the rest of the way!

No pics this time.

It's a bit complicated, but I'll try explaining.
I'm not detaining my new pics out of spite.
But I have a prob with TTC current rules on minor toons.
While they adhere to US laws, they do not comply with EU/Italian regulations.
I do not know what that would entail for me.
I do not even know if I may stay over here without incurring in some legal retaliation, especially now I sell my stuff out.

Until things change, I am in a legal and moral stalemate.

 

[Violetta]

Out of curiousity, where do the rules far short of the EU/Italian laws?

Last time I checked, EU/Italian law forbade the depiction in
any form of minors in an adult context.
Just like Canadian law does.
Just like US law used to do.

Current US law allows for more leeway.
Current TTC rules comply with US law.

I feel uneasy, from a moral and legal point of view.

 

[Violetta]

I can see your problem there. Though, I thought TTC's rules regarding minors were always like that. They just got more clearly defined lately.

 

[Big_Dogg85]

I guess the fact that the busting of an international child porn ring doesn't help things much... when that's the case usually police agencies take more time in looking such stuff out, despite how vague it may be. It's a shame that you can't post Kal, but I also suggest that u should check for loopholes: Here in Canada, if it's created for pure artistic merit the it's okay, within reason.

Nope.
It changed with US law.
TTC rules changed to comply.

I also suggest that u should check for loopholes: Here in Canada, if it's created for pure artistic merit the it's okay, within reason.

I think we have a misunderstanding here.
I don't want to post minor toons.
I wouldn't want them posted over TTC at all.

Not just because I am morally uncomfortable with them.
But also because I wouldn't want to be a loophole casualty.

 

[Low_Roads]

???????? Curiouser and Curiouser. A little bit of indefinite info is so much more tantilyzing than no info at all!

Well, I guess there is not much more to it.
I don't know if I'm safe posting my stuff over TTC.
I'll post my new pics over TMF
Hope it won't be too much of an prob for you guys.
