So, it's been brought to my attention that.. like.. NB is getting.. "weird". I dunno, lack of better term, I have to agree =}
Nekobox has never been your run of the mill comic. For once, you notice I'm not trying to SELL anything. I don't even ask for donations. I might sometime soon, if the costs get too high, (which could be any second now..) but I've always done this comic, and my art.. because.. well.. I like it. No other reason =} I don't answer to people except those I chose to answer to. I also only answer to myself.
People who like my stuff.. cool. Stick around, things get better.
Those who don't.. well.. don't. I'm not gonna do a song and dance or cater to get more people to "like" my stuff. I've been given many chances to be pimped hardcore on places like Megatokyo and Real Life.. but I often ask not to. I don't want Nekobox to get too big.. because then I'd be forced to make Nekobox a comic that caters to fan whims or I'd feel pressure from them..
And I'd rather not.
This is my gig.. and I do it for fun. The moment it stops being fun, I move on =} It's had it's ups and downs, of course, but it's always been a blast. I committed to myself to keep a schedule, and for the most part, I keep it =} And so far, it's all been free to everyone and out of my pocket.
Heck, even the art I sell at cons is affordable. Other artists sell art at 10-20 dollars for a black and white piece. Black and white! I sell my color prints for 3 dollars a piece. Two for 5 dollars. For me, it's not about making money. It's about.. well.. spreading art =} It's about opening lines of communication and expressing myself to others =}
So if once in a while, I post non comic things, or I link possibly offensive material, and you don't like it.. well.. er.. tough? I don't wanna be mean.. but come on.. if you're here, you're visiting me for free on my dollar and you have the gall to ask me to entertain you? =^.^=
Just sit around and enjoy the ride. Sometimes I do things differently just for kicks, but this is my life. Nekobox has always been about my life.. and what I chose to include in it. I'm not here to sing and dance for you.. I'm here to express myself.
And anyone who says otherwise needs to work out serious placement of resentment freudian issues or something. =^.^=
