April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberDo you plan to continue on your Failed Hunt series ? it has been quite a while since the last upload...

MemberThe series was mainly driven by Patreon suggestions, (I do a monthly painting where the content is suggested and voted for by them, I only bring it up 'cause it's relevant!) but I asked for people to not suggest anything in that series for a little while because it was winning so consistently that nothing else even had a chance, and the people who didn't like the rougher content were being left out in the cold a bit. But it's been a while, so I'm thinking yeah, starting next month I'll start letting those suggestions in again, and I also am toying with doing some work in the series on my own so one way or another we should start to see it pop up again in the future!

MemberWell, did the failed hunt won at the mountly poll ? if so can't wait for page 5.
p.s. i've tried to add you as one of the patreons but it gave me a card error, it dosen't give me a error for the other patreons that i support,
any idea why was that ? or should i use Paypal to make the payment ?
Ruaidri
MemberSorry, missed this for a bit! Voting is still on, so I can't say for sure yet. It's in the lead... by a vote. We'll see in a few hours when I close it!
As for patreon, no idea! I imagine a lot of people have signed up with cards so I can't see why it wouldn't work specifically for me, but if you wanna hop on and paypal works for you, that may be worth giving a shot!

MemberLooking foward to the results, hope we'll not have to wait as much for the next page 6, the comic is popular really don't get it why you choose to delay it this much for less popular drawings, by the way what is the second follow up ? And what program do you use to draw it like this ?
Ruaidri
MemberWell, it's not really a comic... it's just a common theme that popped up in my monthly patreon paintings for a while. It'll start popping up in them again fairly soon I imagine, but that's really up to the voters. However, I'm toying with the idea of doing something with it on my own time in the future, so we may start seeing it more frequently then.
I don't use a program to paint like this, this was done traditionally. Watercolours, on watercolour paper.
