Life update and a shift in focus

Lately, X has been flagging everything I draw as R18 content and throttling my stuff like crazy. Even tame pieces like https://x.com/Rioliogiz/status/1983552025108652356 and https://x.com/Rioliogiz/status/1974570873438003643 got flagged. I think X has started to flag everything that shows a little bit of cleavage as R18 now.

They are 100% within their right to do so, but for the longest time I haven't been able to grow my following. I could make massive compromises to my work and completely remove the 'spicy' element of my art, but I feel like that element is a vital part of what people followed me for. Moreover, I just personally don't want to do it.

So, I have decided to shift my focus to doing more R18 stuff on exclusive R18 accounts starting today, so I can at least grow as a NSFW illustrator.

For the generous people who support me financially on PIXIV FANBOX and PATREON, please rest assured that I will continue providing exclusive R18 content for you all, hopefully with an even better frequency than lately. I am always grateful for your support and know full well that I should be posting more than I'm currently doing.

These past few months have been rough on me, mainly because after moving, my 12-year-old dog got IVDD and had her two back legs completely paralyzed. She was misdiagnosed for a long time, so it was too late before I could do much about it. This has taken a toll on my mental health, and coupled with X acting up, I just couldn't find enough motivation to draw as much as before.

Either way, I'm hoping to move forward as an R18-focused illustrator, and I hope that you will continue to follow me on this journey. I ask for your understanding, and again, thank you very much for the support—it means the world to me.
