Deviant Art account
Added 2021-12-04 05:45:18 +0000 UTCKickfan here. As some of you may or may not realize, a few days ago, I was completely blind-sided by an email letting me know my account has been indefinitely suspended on dA. Here is the message I was given..
'Our moderation team has indefinitely suspended your account.
The administrator also added the following comment: Submission of fantasy or fetish based themes which are considered to be non-consensual, unsafe, illegal, or otherwise objectionable'
It was quite a shock given I was never given the courtesy of a signal warning about the content of my page for over seven years of creating material there or notification of a complaint, but for one instance that occurred maybe 3 years ago where a render I had done 2 years prior to that time-frame was suddenly removed without notice, and without mention about required action on my part.
So, I say FUCK dA and I hope you can tell them that for me in your own way since I am unable to now. I cannot even make contact with anyone on the platform that I have been friends with over the 12 years there as a fellow artist, follower or fan to tell them I am still around and that the powers that be there have deemed me no longer wanted as part of their joke of an inclusion community.
To be honest, now that I see the writing on the wall, I don't really know how much longer I will do this in general. If dA has gone to shit like this with a Minority Report mindset, how long until this format here dies the same death.. hard to say. Please spread the word to anyone you might be associated with I am still alive and if they are interested and want to say hello, here I am, for now at least. Thanks.

I wish now I copied everything I posted between Jun 2014 to Nov 2021 to a central folder, never occurred to me this situation would happen and so abruptly, erasing all 342, I believe, renders in one click of a button by some dA douchebag. I could probably start sifting through the dozens of folders and sub-folders I made for all the girls I created in that time span, some have many given how many incarnations created, like Kimmy and Heidi, as examples. Knowing which perspective and clothing option I ended up posting might be beyond my memory but I guess in a way I could make sort of a best of or editor's choice collection. Many done after this Patreon page began might be also found here in a higher resolution than the dA version. It would take some doing but might be worth it if there is an interest in such a thing.
2022-03-05 15:53:31 +0000 UTCwondered where you'd gone! Do you still have all the old DA images - if you do you could maybe put them in Mega folders and create a new subscription level on Patreon for all those of us who'd like to see them again
2022-03-03 20:30:04 +0000 UTCFurAffinity is an art site similar to DeviantArt and Pixiv, but they seem to accept any type of art. Here is a link to their homepage. https://www.furaffinity.net/
2022-01-12 01:41:49 +0000 UTCI really appreciate all of your thoughts, ideas, words on the matter. Sometimes here I wonder if I am talking to myself..lol. It is always hard weening off something that has been a daily part of your routine, in this case as a participant for almost 8 years or a fan of the works for over 13, but I find time is good that way, soon I won't really think about dA much at all but for the artists I followed there. I will continue on here until that fateful day comes, but until then, thank you all for your support and I mean that not just in the donations but the thoughts more importantly. K
2021-12-05 22:09:17 +0000 UTCDeviantArt does that a lot. There was a portrait photographer who did faces. Faces. That's all. And yet, because some of the FACES were of young girls, the account got shut down.

My friend used them once to get the company that laid him to get his vacation days paid out. Unfortunately, this is the way the corporate tech world deals with people as they have cut virtually all customer services.
2021-12-05 02:58:28 +0000 UTCThere are things way beyond the "bottom line" on that site, and yet nothing happened to them... As a sizable website, it's understandable that it's functioning in ways that no one truely know - maybe someone reported your post, and maybe DA suddenly took that report seriously even when it (appeared to be) ignored so many other reports... We the normal people suffer most from the "instability" of these platforms and yet we tend to have no countermeasures... Try network disk maybe
