We are at the end of the month. Let's take a look at the HIGHLIGHTS!
INTRO
First: another milestone was reached this month: I hit 3000 watchers on my page!
So welcome to all of you who have decided to follow my page to get inspired by my creations! I appreciate a lot! For the occasion, I released a high res wallpaper (here) everyone can download for free, in case you missed it.
I will not bore you with the Deviant page number like last time, lets just jump into the most viewed and faved artworks of the month of May in form of a TOP 5!
Counting only what has been uploaded in May, the pics added to FAVOURITE the most are :
#1. Stealthy assassin, with 272 faves.
#2. Home can be anywhere, with 237 faves.
#3. Vamos a la playa!, with 220 faves.
#4. You won't see me coming, with 207 faves.
#5. The day the beast won, with 192 faves.
Which is my first time trying anthropomorphic animals, so it's an encouraging result.
Purely in terms of VIEWS now, here is the TOP 5:
#1. Some people choose to see the ugliness..., with 35.2K views
#2. Stealthy assassin, with 29.1K views
#3. Vamos a la playa!, with 29K views
#4. Home can be anywhere, with 22.5K views
#5. Exotism, with 21.4K views
So in total, like last month, I've uploaded a little more over 100 artworks, And my folder is full of artworks waiting to be put online, so get your eyes pealed!
NEW LOGO
Some of you might have noticed my new logo that I'm now adding at the bottom of every pic. I think it helps solidifying my "brand" and help people recognize more easily my artworks. But the truth is that I've began to do this as the way to discourage theft. Yep. Happened a couple of times just this month. Without going onto the copyright terrain, the simple fact that people disregard authorship is beyond me... If you didn't make it, don't steal it. Even A.I. is transformative... (contrary to what anti A.I. militants like to think).
PAID CONTENT
On another note: I have decided to shift from the monthly subscription model to a Premium download model. I understand people are unwiling to commit to a monthly subscription, so by changing the model I'm offering the opportunity for people to pick and choose what they'd like to download.
SOON !
On that note, I am preparing a series that I will unveil soon, and the principle will be as follows: on a particular day, all the pictures in the series will be released throughout the day. There will be 10 of them BUT at the end, people will have access to a premium folder where for an affordable price they will have:
- the 10 released pics in high resolution
- 10 MORE unreleased and exclusive pics,
- AND a few NSFW pics thrown on top of that, to spice things up
In short, a great package deal that you can acquire to feast your eyes on AND support my work in the process!
I will post a pic soon to announce the event/deal.
And............. I think that's all. Thank you if you took the time to read until the end.
See you around, and take care!

The month is ending. Let's look at the HIGHLIGHTS!
First and foremost: my page reached 2000 watchers on April 19th, which happened only 17 days later than my 1000 watchers milestone! I've already celebrated the 1K, but I have to remind myself that it also happened in April! I find the growth of this page mindblowing, and YOU are the one that should be thanked !! So THANK YOU very much for liking my page and my artworks! Once again, I really appreciate !
Now let's take a quick look at the numbers compared to roughly 1 month ago:
- the page obtained almost 1500 new watchers
- the profile was visited by around 7000 new deviants
- all my artworks combined was viewed 1.1M times according to DA!
- and they collectively were favourited 13.3K times!
And now for the TOP 5!
Counting only what has been uploaded in April, the pics added to FAVOURITE the most are :
#1. I am the VOID, I am the ABYSS, with 296 faves.
#2. Vibrant city, with 294 faves.
#3. The day I met her, with 263 faves.
#4. The bridge of reminiscence, with 253 faves.
(added quite recently, which means the number went up really fast!)
#5. Happy doggo, with 234 faves.
In terms of VIEWS now, here is the TOP 5 for April :
#1. Vibrant city, with 30.3K views
#2. Effortless swag, with 19.6K views
#3. Fashion statement, with 18.7K views
#4. Also in this top: The day I met her, with 18.3K views
#5. And the well named April, with 17.8K views
So in total, I manage to upload a little more over 100 artworks, (not counting subscribers only high res. pics). I know it's not that impressive when you consider it's AI generated, which means I can technically find and craft dozens of prompts, run pic generations in batch and upload them one after the other on DeviantArt. But I will never do that. For several reasons:
- first, it's boring for everyone involved. For me because I would just be a human factor in a procedural process. And for you, because you would get dozens of similar pictures, which is not a goal I'm striving for.
- second, I want my artwork to be meaningful. I want to choose a subject or run tests on an original character, see what works, trying to be creative in the process, etc. That's the creative part for me.
- third, because AI results are often not perfect. So there are times where I need to operates some corrections, little changes and what not. Which leads me to my final point:
-lastly because I want to upload quality work. Be it in terms of originality, composition, cool idea, and more importantly: visual quality. I like to take time polishing my pictures, bring some details and care etc so in the end YOU can have awesome looking picture that you enjoy to watch and put in your faves folder :)
That's all folks! See you in a month for the next month highlights!
Take care!

I'd like to make a quick entry to thank my ONE THOUSAND watchers! This is crazy to me considering I've begin uploading my AI generated art like... 2 weeks ago! (granted I already had 50-ish watchers already from the time I created my account... 15 years ago). Anyways.
Just to give you a quick overview, here is the top 5 of my most FAVOURITED pics :
#1. A peaceful scenery, with 258 faves.
#2. Suited for business, with 227 faves
#3. Home, after the adventure, with 216 faves
#4. The council will receive you, with 188 faves
#5. Private lessons, with 142 faves
As for the VIEWS, the top 5 is little bit different :
#1.Suited for business, with 26.6K views
#3. As dark as her soul, with 11.4K views
#4. Jogging girl, with 10.9K views
#5. Game time, with 10K views
In total, almost 190 pictures have been uploaded in those two weeks (counting the High res that are only visible for the subscribers) and my homepage is approaching 15K pageviews.
Also, as a sneak pick behind the curtains: I've figured a way to make way better Hi Res pictures, and all the ones above have been upgraded if you want to take a look at them again. They might be a lot better than when you first saw and favourite them :)
I plan to do this to the rest of my gallery but as you can imagine, it's quite time consuming...
Thank you for all you support, lovely comments, and particularly, thank you to the people who had subscribe to my paid tier, it means a lot to me!
See you very soon for the next uploads!
Take care!
