I deleted a large amount of my deviations today. Unfortunately many of them stock work for artists. I just can't handle the thoughts in my head of the things people have messaged me about some of it. People have been finding my personal facebook and telling me about the way they touch themselves to my photos while forwarding the one they were looking at. I wish people could keep social medias separate. People will tweet me about something on facebook and snapchat me over something on instagram. I loathe many things about technology, that being one of them. My head is in a fog; don't facebook message me about a tweet that was made about my instagram.

I will be creating more stock. I am getting a new camera lens for my anniversary and will be excited to shoot with it. I don't see myself modeling for much longer (at least not fulltime), not that I don't enjoy it, but hearing things like "nice nipples, how old you sweetheart?" is a huge turn off despite modeling being my whole life for 10+ years. I don't need a PC world. I don't need to be coddled. I need to not receive dozens and dozens of nasty messages. There's. Just. So. Many. This hasn't been an art site for some time. When I want porn I go to porn sites, but people don't have common sense anymore.

I'm not going to delete my DA. That won't happen. I love my artist friends too much. I'm just trying really hard to get a grip on the situation.


BTW if anyone wants any stock I may be shooting this weekend, I just need inspiration to do so. No nude requests please, not now.

***Update*** Thank you to all who've submitted I am in negotiating with a few people for what I'm looking for. Everyone who's submitted has some amazing work! I'm just very particular for this project. I'm looking forward to sharing with everyone once it is complete :heart:


Despite DA going through an adolescent angst phase I've been using it slightly more than I originally thought. Although I will no longer be posting nudes *goodbye most of my followers* due to the harassment, I'm going to stick around solely to post stock for the artists here (those who haven't up and moved to facebook)

Anyways...

I'm seeking a traditional or digital artist who can work proficiently in the pin-up style. I'm looking for something VERY specific, so if you aren't a good fit it's not because I don't like you or your art. I will NOT be selling or making money off of the art piece, so I can't pay an awful lot, but I will negotiate pay before you start working on it, unless you want some form of trade which I'm also okay with.

So if you or someone you know might be interested in drawing something for me please send them my way. For faster response please E-mail melmodel89@gmail.com

Thanks guys! Mwah!

Creative criticism can be a wonderful thing to see one's artistic flaws that would have otherwise not been noticed. It can also be hurtful, rude, and uncalled for. 

I'm just using this as a gentle reminder that not all artists ask for criticism, but if they do remember there is a person behind the artwork. :dalove:



***Personally I find it strange when people critique the photography done on my photos anyways. I am the model not the photographer 99% of the time and it makes me feel weird receiving critiques on work that is a collaboration.

:heart:

Thank you so much for the Daily Deviation. It really means a lot to know how much you guys appreciate my work here.

Modeling is not always easy, but it's times like these that remind me why it is all worth it.
