Nobody asked but you're getting it anywayI'm endeavouring to be more open about myself because closing myself up is one of the biggest issues I have. I'm addressing that right now. Bit by bit.
I like bondage, that much is obvious. There are a lot of other topics relating to fetish, kink and lifestyles that I haven't addressed that I'm into. I've finally stopped feeling sorry for myself so I can move on and do what I need to do. Be more in tune with who I truly am.
I may alienate some people. I'm not exactly going to go out of my way to be friends with people who don't want anything to do with what I'm into though. What I would like is to is the opposite of that, make friends with people who are into what I'm into.
I like bondage, drawing, latex, armbinders, straps, ropes, crossdressing, ponyplay gear and gags. All of this as a submissive.
There's a few more things I could add to that list but they're not coming to me at the moment. I've yet to try a lot of those things too, but some of them I have and well... it's bliss for me.
Some of you may be thinking "But raleen, if you're submissive why aren't you drawing guys in dresses bound up in awkward positions tethered by layers upon layers of rope?". Well guys aren't as fun to draw as ladies. I should draw guys more but girls are far more fun.
At the same time why aren't I drawing more dominant women? Well really I've actually tried and I'm never satisfied with the way it comes out. I do try to put forward the message in my art that the characters I draw are in control of their current situation. At any moment they could say their safeword and be out. Though at the moment I'm still capturing the moment of joy that it gives the character. Bondage is a very real thing to me, so adding fantasy fears and danger just loses the appeal.
I'm not the kind of bondage artist moustache twiddling villain who ties girly girls to railroad tracks. I try to draw realistically, people who want to be tied up.
"But raleen, you're drawing Zelda tied up in an armbinder and ballgag. That's not very realistic to the character" That's uh... yeah. I dunno. Some bondage girl is cosplaying as her. Yeah. Totally. Stop asking such anal retentive questions. God.
I'm expecting more negative than positive things to come from posting this but figure if I can get the good things in life with a little flak it'll be worth it.
So! I joined in 2006 and I've finally introduced myself. How about that.
Sorta.
Be gentle.
