Impressive artworks! Maybe an obvious question, but I would love to know this from each author/artist: do you draw from personal experiences/memories or is your work (mostly) fictional?

Thanks -

A lot of my work is just my own sex fantasies, in a superficial sort of sense.

Pornoscopes: Taurus, for example, -- I just thought it would be funny and sexy to have a woman harvesting cum from a bunch of tree cocks.

But also when I was younger there was this woman I met in the forest, who basically gave me a blowjob, and then swallowed, and said "thank you" and then started to walk away.

She was a Taurus, her sun sign.

I ended up befriending, for a while, and found out that she felt like sperm had anti-depressant properties, and that her life was better when she ate cum regularly.

So, you get a sort of mixture of four approaches here:

• Taurus signs are earthy and into food. [Forest and harvesting cum like maple syrup.]
• Sex Fantasy layer - which is basically, what I think would be hot, or sexy or attract attention, or what attracts my attention, or what I think would make a good scene.
• Fictional Layer - If there is a narrative, this is where it goes. This would include some formal plot construction ideas.
• Personal Experience Layer - So this would be where I put all of my emotional content, or past / current experience into the work.

When I'm doing commission work for people, it's mostly their sex fantasies created in a way that I think they will like.

Thanks for the answer! Certainly high-complexity novels then, I commend you. It is truly fascinating where inspiration comes from and this example certainly gave me an idea. I am happy you are finding a home on Hive.
