[Azur Lane] Yorktown WIP and Small Announcement (Patreon)

Yes that girl everyone on stream has been talking about that looks like Edelgard, it's Yorktown from Azur Lane~! I've been all over place lately and have been a bit behind on the updates but we'll get more on that later down the post. With this piece I went with a shipception concept by having a shipgirl having sex inside a cruise ship, I know the background isn't really reflecting the interiors of a cruise ship in the sketch but you'll see what I did with it soon! 

That said... So I have some good news and bad news. I guess we should probably start with the bad news. 

Bad news of the day is that I was banned on Pixiv few days ago after uploading/updating my latest batch of art. To over simplify what happened, I posted something that wasn't censored and did that 3 times throughout the year since I started Pixiv. 

First two were mistakes I made as a fledgling newbie who didn't know what to censor and how much to censor, they let me off the hook by sending me a kind reminder that the image needs to be censored and updated to meet Pixiv's Terms of Service which is fair. 

Third time though, I got hit with a immediate suspension, no notification aside from I was banned for not following their ToS. They don't tell you what image I forgot to censor either, could be from something that was posted months ago which only attracted attention of the ban mods because someone decided to hit that report button...

That time I managed to talk my way out of it because I was still relatively new (5~6month old on Pixiv). They gave me a very stern warning that the next one won't be appealable and sure enough! They banned me and completely ignored my appeals.... I mean >.> It was a careless mistake, I'm only a clumsy Foxy give me a break...

So that appeal had been sitting on their lap for a week before they came back to me and said NO. 

Judging that they probably won't change their mind about the appeal, I just decided to make a new account and re-upload 2 years worth Art... If you caught me yesterday in a silent bad mood, now you know. >.<;; I've been spending the whole day including today on just getting my new Pixiv account up to speed with all the art that went down the drain with their ban. 

Big thanks to my friend, Fakkuza for acting as my trusty Censorship Police to look through and spot anything I didn't censor or I'll be in another awkward talks with Pixiv by now... That said, the good news is I managed to recover about 70~80% of the art I lost with the Pixiv ban. I decided to filter some of the older artwork since my style has drasticaly changed over the year. It's depressing to know that all the followers I amassed over the year is now gone but I'm sure it'll pick up in due time. 

So there you have it, that's kind of what's been eating at me for the past week. I've also been experiencing some artblock overall. The slower than norm internet speed probably isn't helping it either. Who would have thought that WiFi can't pass through walls? I used to think they could pass right through them like a spirit walking through walls. As I understand it, WiFi becomes weaker when it comes into contact with walls and sadly the modem is installed on the other side of the house separated by severals walls before it can get to where I'm working... meaning I can't jump on my usual addiction of MMOs. It's also been affecting my Picarto streams too. I'm going to have to figure out a long term solution for the predicament I'm in. 

As a result of my artblock, pixiv fiasco and internet problems... I'm running a bit behind on a lot of projects right now. The most immediate being this month's waifu collab with Alex, I still haven't been able to draw Tamaki. That and I was meant to update Blaze days ago but haven't been able to finish that either. I hope you guys can understand... >.<;; 

But aside from that I think I'm doing well! Haha...sarcasm xD
