>>84313 I know right, loved that artist.

>>84073 These are the only ones I could find someone needs to post the rest

>>84073 Mannn I really liked this guy too he did nice scenarios. I found some of my favorites but they're low res

So i'm an MIA artist. No one major or SUPER popular, but I had a good amount of fans, people liked me. I didn't make any major announcement, I was just burned out and quietly disappeared. I still occasionally see people mention me, saying they miss me or how they wish I'd come back. But here's the thing. all my accounts still exist. I did not go scorched earth. I still log in and check my Dms and messages and the like. fucking nothing. Zilch. these people could message me any time, ask whats up, where I've been. They never do. Not trying to be all 'woe is me, no one cares' or whatever the fuck, but I would like to ask How many of you have even tried to contact all these artists you're missing?

>>85255 Don't want to be parasocial either. It's also a matter of respecting the privacy of people who seemed like they'd rather dissappear from the Internet.

>>85255 I have, in the past. The best case scenario is "yeah, still around, just burnt out and busy or whatever", but more often you just get dead silence. One thing I think a lot of people don't realize is that being an artist sort of inadvertently puts you up on a pedestal, people tend to just assume you're "better" than them because you can draw, and as a result they don't want to cross a boundary or bother you by sending a DM directly just to nose into your personal space. That's just as likely to annoy someone as it is to encourage them, so why take the 50/50? It doesn't take a lot to message someone, but it's still something you have to actively do, and when some artists are kind of weird about interactions and social cues, it might not be worth it to even extend a hand. Plus, no one knows how empty your inbox is and they might worry their message will get lost in a sea of "hello do free request?" and scam messages from people trying to steal your identity, or it just sits in an inbox forever that the person has long since abandoned. This isn't even considering that sometimes it takes people a long time to notice they haven't seen art from you in a while even if they really like your stuff. That's happened to me before, where I only realize I haven't seen new stuff from an artist six months since their last upload, and by that time who knows what's happened? Sorry man. This is a community where greed and entitlement are at an all time high and empathy is at an all time low, and even then the empathetic might just be so busy with their own shit that they don't have time to come send a message to a silent inbox. Sorry the world didn't stop to drag you back in.

>>85255 I personally just don't want to bother people I just assume they're going through some shit and don't want to bother them with empty words

>>85264 You're making a mountain out of a molehill. Refusing an opportunity to talk to someone you admire out of fear that you might waste 30 seconds of your life is just plain retarded.

>>84073 If anyone has the Aru set (second image) I will love you dearly.

Am I tripping or this guy draws both hair and faces the exact same as RepulsionSwitch? https://www.deviantart.com/fiztheancient/gallery/all

>>85609 >inflation fetish You people are just grasping at straws at this point. If you people really think he’s around, what you need to look out for is a style with thicker lines. He abandoned smaller thinner lines in his last days for thicker because his wrist is fucked up and he can’t physically do the smaller lines. Would be hilarious if it WAS him, would be the ultimate irony if he did have an inflation fetish considering the dude is built like an actual twig.

Mellow-laughter art, he got deleted a while ago do any of you have his art saved

Who are you exactly

Thank you

>>84073 This news really ruined my day... They were definitely one of the best artists out there. I think i have saved some of their arta though

>>84073 Far as I'm aware, he's still around on Pixiv, posting as recently as last week. The first post's comments say he doesn't know what happened to his accounts. https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/116434083 At least, I think it's the same guy; their speech and tone of their art look completely different though. So maybe he's back, maybe he isn't.

I remember one of the OGs back in the mid 2000s when I was exploring my tickling fetish. Hahathna who past away in 2008. His DA is still up (https://www.deviantart.com/hahathna) but I vaguely recall stumbling on an archive of all this work. No idea on how to find it if I tried.

I guess since MTJpub is gone now, here are some from a series called Annie The Amateur Pirate.

>>84073 Does anyone have any more of his stuff saved? Doesn't seem like he's going to repost it on his new account.

https://www.deviantart.com/animefakeshots/ Stumbled upon AnimeFakeShots just yesterday, they posted very decent AI anime art. I especially liked how most of these pics were in the style of original shows. They deactivated the account today. There was a post mentioning the fact that they're using an unreleased model to generate art and can't elaborate further due to NDA, so there is a probability they got busted. I hope I'm wrong tho. Managed to save some pics before deactivation, Tsunade being my personal favorite. Gosh I wanna press my face into some pampered milf soles so fucking much.

>>88715 Quite a shame. One of the only AI fetish accounts that was actual quality imo. Hopefully they come back with a new account. On the plus side, the pics are still on DA w/ full quality downloads even though the account is deactivated, so you can still access them if you Google "AnimeFakeShots" and go to images, at least right now.

>>88734 >Diabellstar Holy fucking based

>>88734 Nothing of value was lost...literally.

>>88715 >>88734 Decided to archive as many pics from this account as I could find before they inevitably become inaccessible. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10pcZfVbqCWVonrDQFBpk35LQ1KTQuvfB

>>88875 Much appreciated. Seems like NekoNyanParty got nuked too, can you archive them as well? https://www.deviantart.com/nekonyanparty

>>88878 Aaaaaaand it's gone.
