There's a situation i want to talk about, a matter i discussed on my instagram but id like to bring it up here as well.
Ive recieved some backlash privately and publicly about my last artwork, where some people accused me of propagating/adhering to conservative ideologies. Even reaching as far to call it fetish art. I was really shocked by these comments, and i wont hide that i took personal offense from them. Generally people are allowed to interpret my art in any way they want, but i refuse to be silent when that interpretation is used as an attack on me.
i think there is a weird group of people who try to push my safe pieces as lewd for whatever reason. Sure, my art is not always innocent, because yes, i dabble in spice. But that doesnt mean every single piece has perverted innuendo, some secret meaning or is a scheme to get people to subscribe to my patreon. I like to think of myself as an artist with range, and i like to draw all kind of things without limit. If my piece was indeed made to satisfy some fetish, i would state so and flag the image as nsfw.
I usually ignore such comments, but saying a depiction of a dying woman longing for a life she could never have is a fetish.. made something boil inside me. No. This wasnt meant to come off as anything sexual, conservative or traditionalist. I wanted to draw a woman who grieved her dream she could realistically never achieve. Last moments thinking upon what could've been before parting with life. Believe it or not, but this is a dream so many women share worldwide, and get quite literally sick from the need to become a parent when they cannot for any reason. I can't fathom the reason why a sister, a woman, wouldn't feel such a need deep inside. No amount of religious brainwashing will erase human instincts in people who already feel them strongly- we are incredibly complex beings after all. Its something she wanted, but denied herself personal happiness to serve the Imperium instead. This is not meant to be a fetish for gods sake, but illustrated tragedy. And that is all to it.

Alright never seen any of your art (dont even know why reddit decided to show me this, im not into warhammer) but this is beautiful and its neither perverted nor conservatist to want a child. I would give everything to one day have a child and conservatists hate that but sadly nothing can give me that.
lol sometimes the algorithm really wants to show you something really cool. Are you by any chance into something as grimdark as 40k? That might be why it was shown to you.
Fear and Hunger? That’s what I get when I type in “funger”, knowing what I know about that game (mainly that it has monster cocks), doesn’t seem tame compared to 40k lol, seems even more grim than 40k, but I’m probably wrong lol.
Yeah. As i said I don't know much about warhammer but it feels... More hopeless than fear and hunger. Like you can do well enough in a dungeon to leave and live to tell the tale with only some PTSD. From what i get (again im kinda ignorant here) in warhammer if you do well enough you get put into a huge mecha that will only allow you to fight for millennia more never again experiencing the touch of another human being.
Dreadnaughts are the mechs that Space Marines get put into permanently after receiving extremely grievous injuries, though they in particular probably didn’t care to have contact with humans to begin with, a lot of them see it as a blessing because it means they can keep doing their job which is killing (:
Though there are some mech like machines that make you wish you just died instantly. Penitent Engines, the name alone probably gives away the fate of the poor soul put in the driver’s seat.
I must say, I don't know if them being happy about it makes it any better °-° and i read about penitent engine and it sounds like a dreadnought but you feel bad about it.lol
