I just wish he would have left some sort of message here? Even just "hey guys, sorry, I'm currently not at a point where I can devote any of my time to DF comics", that would have been enough. I think the uncertainty still has many people hoping he'll make a return, whereas some sort of closure would at least put an end to that.
To be fair he never said good bye the first time he went on hiatus and at the time he was very active with his fans and his website. I hear ya that some closure would be nice but I’m not expecting much now when he hardly interacts with his fans or his website. That said he really does not owe anyone anything. I’m optimistic he will return, the passion for it is clearly there but, I wager personal life is now being affected by such past times. I know of 4 artists alone that have abandoned BDSM art for various reasons, and that reason is usually family. I know two artists alone who were given an ultimatum by their significant others of either it’s the art or starting a family…..true story.
Just an observation on our pet perversions and the artists that cater to them. Why is it that BD fans are always the ones who are the most guilt ridden. In my experience this is not the case so much with SM folk. I may be speaking for myself here but a few BD artists have commented to me that BD artists can get conflicted often away from drawing this stuff. They love women and can become embarrassed and ashamed of their desire to stalk, silence, secure, and secret them, even when they draw it. But then again I could be wide of the mark, and hope Fernando does return……….it’s just not looking likely.
A question to all Fernando fans; which scene of his many great comics struck the chord with you. For me it was initially the end scene of Cheerleaders 6 (dreadful reunion) where the sisters Anna and Dawn are strapped to the bottom of the bondage van……..problem is I’ve peered over that scene so many times now I may have exhausted it……….now I have to say Cheerleaders 9 where the two cheerleaders are strung up side by side with Assbuster……..but TBH Cheerleaders 9 many scenes could take the crown…….sad that was 2011
