that last part actually intrigues me. Seems to me like you have two problems in your hands, one is to figure out what you want to define you and two, what you’re making of your situation. I think it’s a pretty strange way of coming out of this life, but probably the most common of all when it comes to fetish artists.
either way, I wouldn’t dwell too much on the second problem were I you, it seems like the type of problem that the more you think about it, the more it affects you and will never go away, it’s best just to move on from it and sort it out as you go through life without really focusing on it. Otherwise, artists like you I’m sure can make it there with relative ease, you’ve got skill and talent, just gotta figure out that direction and you’re set..
So, best of luck mate and Godspeed, never look back, aim for the stars, but cling on to them. Take it 1 step at a time and blah blah, you get the point, Get The Fuck Out of here already and make something of yourself already! ;)

As those of us genuinely interested in the subject have stated upthread, this isn’t specific to just this image. Its a widespread issue with vore tagged stuff in general. :T
And for the thread in general, it’s surprising to see so many people that don’t like this fetish complaining about it on a properly tagged image. Filter it and get on with your life, stay happy not seeing something you know you don’t like. Stop annoying people that do like. It’s really easy and we’ve put a lot of effort into making it really easy for you.
Lastly, if an artist intentionally maintains an identity split, respect that.
@Keith Mowz
Yeah, it’s really obnoxious…Derpibooru has some of the best filtering I’ve seen on an image site, and yet still, it’s plagued with people whining and moaning about fetishes they don’t like, instead of using those filters.
@Background Pony #E782
I’ve always been of the opinion that it’s nobody’s fuckin’ business what your kinks and fetishes are unless they’re a potential romantic partner.
@Blissey1
Especially since people are constantly doing that.
Hit “random image” on the vore tag and there’s like a 50% chance you’ll see someone making a comment about either:
a. how they hate/dont understand the fetish
b. some comment regarding ‘realism’ in one way or another.
It gets exhausting.
And to all the people commenting here about how its good he’s not drawing it anymore, dude’s been made actively uncomfortable drawing something he admits he still really likes because its become common knowledge and he doesn’t want to be stigmatized for only drawing one thing. Yeah its probably a good idea for him to take a break from it given the circumstances, but it still sucks both for those who enjoy his art and for him.
I hate to hear this, but you need to do what you feel is best. I’m glad your family was surprisingly supportive of you. I can’t even begin to imagine what my family would think of the stuff I’m into, including vore.
I struggled with the issue of whether my fetishes defined me or not too. All I can say is that over time, I have come to accept that it is natural to have sexual desires and even to be very unusual in what you find enticing so long as your desires never hurt others.
If drawing vore has come to overshadow your life, then step away from it for a while. But remember that there is a distinction between overshadowing your life and “who you are.” It is possible for anyone’s special talent to dominate their life, but moderation doesn’t mean to try and erase it.
Vore is clearly something you enjoy and derive identity from. Don’t lose sight of that. And if you do come back, remember to embrace the support you have. Until then, take care and best of luck.
@RainbowDash69
I get the feeling that they’re not ragging on you for thinking vore is freaky (which, lets face it, it is) but for going on vore images and making comments about how freaky it is.
there’s no problem with not liking vore. But going on vore images to tell everyone how much you don’t like it? Now that is a problem.
@Eggonaught
Not to sink your boat there P… but no, your art can’t.
At least not for me.
It’s not the quality of your art, which frankly IS amazing, the attention to detail, shading, anatomy, perspective, coloring… there’s just no way I can do it justice with my words.
It’s the subject.
But to your credit, if even your amazing art cannot sway my opinion, then I am simply impossible to convince.
Yeah, your art is just THAT good.
||another possible explanation is that Vore is just THAT appalling.
Whichever you prefer… ||
Best of luck to you in all your future endeavors, your amazing talent and dedication will shine through.
This is very good. This guy is an amazing artist. And, he can get very far if he uses his talents more openly, instead of hiding and pleasuring fetishists all the time.
I feel like I might be struggling with a similar problem. The first and only fanfics that I ever made public were two ambitious fetish fics that I have yet to finish. A lot of people like them and want me to continue. But, at the same time - as obsessive as I may be with my fetishes at this time - they don’t define me. And, I just haven’t felt like they are what I want to focus on on my fimfiction account. I especially don’t want my real life friends and family to find out about something so personal to me. Not to mention that I want to actually get stuff done instead of obsess over fetishes. I want to be more comfortable while dabbling in writing and drawing. Make more stuff that I feel I can openly share with more people than just other freaks like me.
I know I’ve barely shared stuff with the brony community. But, I’ve wanted to. And, I started by sharing my fetishes. I guess it was a mistake. I’ve made a rather perverted first impression. I feel like if I just ignore my first two stories for awhile and just write or draw whatever comes to me, I can potentially get more motivated to write and draw more often. I just felt that I’ve been obligated to finish what I started before doing anything else. I have to just accept the fact that I can’t stay on one project for too long unless I really feel I can.
I’m an awkward person who has been trying to change his outlook on himself lately. And, I think that this is one small thing I should do to help that process. Thank you, ponythroat, for setting an example as a soft-core porn artist. You’ve got fantastic talent that shouldn’t be only known to be used for porn. I’m not sure if I have or will ever have the same talent, but I hope to improve myself to impress as many people as you do.
I’ve still got a lot of issues to work out though…
GOOD FOR HIM! as far as fetishes go and as far a vore goes he keep it light which is good but still its a freaky fetish and to call it quits is nice! now he can focus on a wide variety of art that appeals to a broader audience. one thats more SFW
