I plan to start posting new content!✨👌 A) There are 2 new comicbook titles, which I want to eventually run here. I may start with one, and see how it goes posting the comics as I develop them; and any stuff sensitive to censors, or complaining viewers who feel above adjusting their content filters and want to impose on everyone, what can be posted - I can make available on the website, subscribe star adult or private message. B) I started LuridMax with art I was archiving; the next phase was to post new art for the viewers that check this page as fans of Pre-Code Horror art. ✨ That was and still stands as the mission statement for the art I will post here. To organize this public gallery, and keep track of what LuridMax represents, I am planning to put all the existing images into the subscriber Archive, but eventually move them to be exclusively on the website for the people who sponsor LuridMax. To make way for new content, 🎈 C) I will announce the new content as I

Was able to get my 2FA codes, from an old phone, and then set up 2FA on a new phone. Been working on some projects. Thanks so much to the founding subscriber that kept this page alive throughout the pandemic and this current era. Expect to be posting new art; as I finish up some other projects. Thanks for the interest, and continued support that keeps this endeavor so rewarding.

Currently Deviant art has implemented a 2 factor identification system, on my original LuridMax account ( this page) , I am posting on it with my LuridMax2 account, ( I just created, in response to the lack of reply from deviant art to my 4 recent tickets: for account recovery, unable to withdraw earnings, unable to access 2 factor authentication ) .


I have other accounts, all in good standing, including LuridMax; I have always followed all the rules, and I only have earnings on LuridMax, and that is the only one they placed a 2 factor identification login requirement, without giving me an email informing me, or a means to connect it to an authenticator app; essentially, suddenly, preventing me from withdrawing earnings, but ignoring my other accounts that don't have earnings.


I had been a loyal customer of deviant art core, and supported other artists here with commissions for the years 2021-2023. I want to warn any potential subscribers, Please do not pay into any subscription on my LuridMax page ( my subscribestar works fine, there I can receive a payment). I will not offer any subscriptions on Deviant Art for any other accounts, seeing what Deviant art has done - which honestly seems to be the stupidest thing ever. How do you expect anyone to be able to enable or disable 2 factor authentication from their account, or even to send a ticket from their account they can't get into, if that means they'd have to be able to get into it, in order to do so?


Aggravating.


I will post art on LuridMax2; starting with new stuff, that I had been planning to do years ago; but the pandemic, and working post pandemic, and other projects took the center of my attention. Because deviant art responds with total silence, regarding my tickets, and could easily send an email to my email associated with this account, ( an email address they sent me updates upon withdrawing earnings as recently as the past year). Instead, they have an impersonal questionnaire, that they ask you to copy and paste, and complete with the answers to questions; one which includes: "What is the birthday associated with your account? " ( prior to that it asks, what the email address is that is associated with the account).


I know the ' fake birth date' I used for the google account, but not the DA account LuridMax. This is the bit of data, that they are using to deny me my earnings, and make my 6 years of effort into setting up LuridMax a ghost ship, that will never be able to reply to any more comments, or post anything; I can't even delete it.


LuridMax will just sit here without any updates from LuridMax. Thanks Deviant/Art/ticket/reply/staff - now I know to save my money, and not buy any more core memberships , ever; for any of my other art accounts, or as gifts to members, cause this platform is run by imbeciles, and is broken, and not considerate of the customer who does all the work providing content and drawing in viewers.


I hope others searching the topic of 2 factor authentication instituted by deviant art read about my recent experience: suddenly, without any regard for my ability to access it; preventing me from withdrawing earnings, and not giving me a unique qr code to connect my authenticator to; simply ignoring my ticket, and leaving my entire original account stranded - hostage to their incompetent, or deliberately labyrinthine problem resolution system. No live agents, live chats, no way to actually explain the problem to any real person; just a form to fill out, which sits in the back log, as the understaffed deal with mountains of account recovery requests.


This was a unique problem, in that, I didn't lose my password. The only reason I can't log in, is because they added a 2 factor identification login, but didn't make it possible for me to set up an authenticator app. This 2 factor authentication system isn't protecting anybody; it is depriving me of access for no good reason. Like I said, this is the dumbest shit I have ever encountered with an art platform. They could easily fix this, in less than 3 days.


Rather than wait for them to create more hurdles to jump over, or continue to not respond, I am simply going to redirect viewers to my subscribestar page, and website, and post at LuridMax2 new art, and keep warning people not to subscribe to my LuridMax page. I spent 6 years, a loyal and grateful customer of deviant art; now I am going to spend some time, warning others not to trust deviant art or invest time or rely on deviant art staff for fair business practices.


I will not go away- I gave them a chance to remain loyal; if they don't respect my 6 years as a loyal customer, and could care less if they disgruntle a customer - so be it. I will keep telling others from LuridMax2, and simply not spend anymore on Core memberships, and I will warn as many people as I can about the 2 factor identification implementation without my request, permission, or anyway to turn it off, access my original LuridMax page, or connect an authenticator app to a unique QR code assigned to the LuridMax page - simply because I don't remember the fictitious birth date I set up on the original LuridMax profile, for obvious reasons of anonymity - due to the controversial nature of the art.


And for anyone who thinks they are holier than thou - and judging character from what they see as the art from the original LuridMax page;


I have stated from day #1, I have never been vague about the purpose of this page, and the art. This is a project, to create comics, with lurid art; ie, nudity ( women- cause I am straight) and gore, for the same audience that appreciates mortal kombat gore animations, because that's what I wanted to draw at the time, and this was place to post it; without negative messages or attitudes against women ( that co-occur on nearly all guro, hentai or any other galleries/ forums where the kind of art I am describing appear) - for adults.


I am a responsible adult, that happens to be able to draw; people requested me to set up a patreon - and I did. They started paying me immediately. If someone wants to support mainstream art ( without nude women and gore), they can do so, by supporting my mainstream patreon's, and mainstream creative projects. But the hypocritical judgements I receive from keyboard warriors, or ascetics in conflict, are simply defensive reactions from minds who feel threatened by what they see- get over yourself.


Lurid pre code horror art was designed and sold in comics and magazines for years to kids. Then censorship, relegated it to older individuals, and eventually sort of sloppily enforced selective banning on legacy platforms, but not video games; and then it returns even in modern comics. The taboo is like a cyclical pneumonia, that catches for a bit, and then goes for long stretches without a relapse; but not a fundamentally supported protocol - and when censorship is applied , it is really more for pandering to the plaintiff or sponsor's ethics to retain their support/ business.


Defending the Indefensible Art: Depicting Pre Code Horror


There is beauty in many things, and I wanted to place that which can be found in the type of lurid pre code horror art of the 1950's, here on a separate page I called 'LuridMax": because a) it is lurid (sex & violence: ie Dan Simmons " LoveDeath" Short stories) b) I wanted to see how high the quality could be refined to, if deliberately trying to practice the craft of professional comicbook art; ie, 'max effort' - or maxing out ( like a gym reference) fitting as many figures into the same scene as possible.


That simple. Lurid + Max = LuridMax; my birth certificate doesn't have the word max or lurid anywhere in it; yet I would often receive emails from patrons headed; dear Mr. Max; or Hi Lurid, .... ( sigh)


Projection from haters, always reveals more about their fears and desires; this art is here because it is an underserved genre, and those who are selling it, do so most often in conjunction with an overtly toxic verbalization targeting any woman that is attractive. To me, there is a distinct difference between the depictions of the 1950's lurid covers, featuring cover girls, and the modern guro; the latter seems to have incel ravings carved into the floor and walls of their suburban prison in their own blood, with maniacal scrawlings on a tablet, where the sole purpose is aimed at the desperation and self-loathing of masturbation and all the shame, humiliation is projected onto the subject of their lust; more often than not, a poorly drawn anime doll, with childlike proportions. I get it, maybe a teen boy, digs this; or is copying the japanese guro template, merely because an audience for it already exists. Like goth or emo might have seemed weird to working class non racist skinheads; perhaps an acquired taste.


I created LuridMax, with the theme of "Renaissance' ; because the art and women depicted in the 1950's is more skillfully rendered ( in my opinion), and the women more attractive. As art, the art of the pre code horror and golden age, is more inspiring to me personally; and I wanted to make art reminiscent or inspired directly by that; rather than continue the guro/dolcett theme that is trending, where any art that resembles lurid pre code horror seems to get filed, and stored.


What is the Benefit of Pre Code Horror?


Like it or not, art can promote strong reactions. Art depicting such aforementioned subjects, can remind others how fortunate they are to be in the present civilized society; and remind them such horrors existed. The excuse for censorship I have seen most commonly, is 'we do not glorify violence '. This is a slogan, a talking point. It is a subjective interpretation imposed on the image, and a convenient stance to virtue signal from. It is BS. Mortal Kombat, is funded by Warner Bros, the CGI artists working for months on a single finishing move, that is at the current level of gore, require months of therapy afterward. They support having a monopoly on sex and violence in images ( moving or otherwise).


This is a single artist, LuridMax, using the skill of drawing, to organize and post hand drawn representations of lurid pre code horror covers, and comics, as single images, paintings, inked or tonal paintings, scanned on my old Brother printer ( beginning 2016) , and made available for anyone interested ( those who respect traditional art have supported it, that's why I took the time to create more over the past 6 years).


To treat the time and materials as a sub citizen, with less rights, is discrimination, against a genre, community of group, who would otherwise have access to it; mature adults. But it's the immature ones, who act like it's a forest fire , and signal an alarm because they somehow believe they are entitled to have the internet be a homogenous pablum, gruel, which is shiny, and mass produced like ai, that never makes them think of anything but perpetual pop media sensibilities; nothing beyond, viral social media, griping about politics, and a general lip service to some moral consensus, that is pg-13, and is only applied to individual creators, as a form of harassment, made possible, like a crime of opportunity through comments and notes - and smarmily dealt by nameless employees responsible for TOS, community trust , who are often thin skinned zealots of some form, who feel self righteous in blocking out all sight of anything but florescent pop art, mainstream, repetitive mundane generic work, because they have the shallow perception, that preventing certain images on their limited platform does a service upholding societies mores .


This is incorrect, however. Art is harmless, it's ability to inspire, relies on the individual who reacts to it. Laws exist to deter crime. It is a fallacy to presume that hiding the images of horror, keep it unseen; and in a way, out of sight, out of mind, banish it from our reality. Anyone knows this isn't true, the moment they see a car accident death firsthand, or hear an old veteran's war story account. And before investing any more time, making the point about the portrayal of horror, in 2d art; all one need do is glance at the double standard for video games which the young have access to.


Don't kid yourself, censoring harmless horror artwork, is what gave birth to the guro / dolcett forums, where the hyper conservative zealot's regulations and sensibilities have no reach. Essentially, censoring what was legal in 1950 for kids to see on comic covers, in a modern day where video games have far worse, merely makes it a place that viewers will skip when looking for said genre. Point, the LuridMax art gallery, has always been a trojan horse; the art house words presented to a grindhouse audience; meant to attract viewers of guro/dolcett, to outreach and be an example of a voice ( through comment replies, notes, emails after they join the subscribe star and ask for commissions ) that is different than the guro/dolcett forum attitude/persona - the one that speaks about horror as if what is happening in the image that is terrible, is actually something fun.


I took exception to this, when I saw replies in forums, from kids, that seemed to indoctrinate and brainwash these fappers, into blending the concept of intimate romance with rape murder, as foreplay; and a script where the murdered women state gaining the greatest orgasm; this, to me, is like glorifying self immolation. I know it might seem like a minor nuance. But it was worth it to me, to intervene somehow, in this seemingly unchecked phenomena I saw happening, in the guro/ dolcett galleries, which I would notice, and seemed disturbing, when I was looking for lurid pre code horror covers and comics like the 1950's EC comics. There, the horror has shock value, and there is a fascination with the morbid and grotesque, but reader knows they are seeing death represented, and the crimes depicted are bad, and punished; that crime never pays! ( remember the old phrase).


EC comics, was infamously shut down, when Fredrick Wertham made a case, " The Seduction of the Innocent" he called it; he inspired a generation to burn the EC comics, in a wave of puritan regression similar to what Michaelangelo witnessed in his day, by the preacher who terrorized the people of his city to burn art work, and things that were not spiritual or chaste. So when a social media platform, repeats the same kind of phenomena, it is no surprise.


The Lurid Max art exists, because of censorship in tv, film, comics and illustrated books - because certain scenes that are described explicitly in fairy tales, and historical accounts, of kings and queens, were suggested visually , but omitted due to sfx limitations at the time. Today, those limitations aren't the same, and when presented, people have less to leave to the imagination.


That is the purpose of the Pre Code Renaissance; presenting the explicit lurid horror scenes, which:


a) leaves little to the imagination; thus seen, and dismissed


b) the 1950's pre code horror presents the horror in the context of law and order, and crime and punishment


c) since guro/dolcett forums and galleries are the most prolific, such scenes are posted there, but with the signature guro/dolcett narratives, which I believe are perpetuated, merely because they exist. And the only reason to look there, is when it gets censored here or other platforms for art. And when it appears there, instead of here, because some well meaning self appointed moral watchdog, bans it, they give all power to influence the viewer who will look elsewhere for what is cavalierly denied by the virtue signaling hypocrites in the 'Trust and Safety' staff, who make the guro/dolcett galleries the only mature art vendor in town.


When I realized, drawing the 1950's pre code horror inspired covers and comics, might be appreciated by others who have similar experiences and attitudes as myself, and that it could actually influence viewers, contrary to the dolcett role play personas promulgated like character actors in the comments and messages - that just by articulating a moderate viewpoint, in the commentary and description of the art, I could perhaps decriminalize lurid 2-d art, and like illegal pot sellers lose the ability to overcharge and lace with harmful additives, when medicinal pot is available from reputable sellers - that in the same way, perhaps, my LuridMax art brand, which though controversial, and prone to slander and hearsay, could serve to bring the lurid pre code art, out of the unhinged septic tank's recesses, where people seem to dump the epitome of their abominable thoughts, inventing mutations more vile than before, mutilating themselves and others, like a water pipe, out of control and spilling over, tainting everything it touches with raw human feces - that I, instead, by a humble effort to post art work in the image of the 1950's pre code horror covers of EC comics, and modern muscularly defined fantasy art of Boris Vallejo ( inspired by his " Tarnsman of Gor" cover - which I have kept as the identifying art to my LuridMax subscribestar all these years) could make the effort to improve the art skill, the technical craft of drawing aspects, and make more artistically dynamic covers , illustrations, paintings and comics ( eventually video games, animations).


LuridMax isn't here to relitigate the merit of Men's Adventure style adult art, where scantily clad women appear juxtaposed with enemy nations soldiers, in scenes of pre code horror, either implied or gore right on the cover ( like the 1970's fumetti). What seemed inexplicable to me, when I started this LuridMax art project in 2014, was that it seemed art had regressed. The taboo art, ( the anime at least, the majority of amateur stuff, appearing most prolificly in forums and galleries) was shittier than anything I had seen. It's like going to a porn site, to see porn, when you want to see it - I mean, (if you are blushing, and outraged, then you aren't seeing the world from the perspective the majority do) - and instead of sexy models, you see the ugliest, models possible; lowest production quality, mispellings everywhere, no effort at quality. Yet, the caption, the story behind it, the narrative of the posters of the art, ( whether in thought balloon, or comment on a forum) was denigrating to women as a class, and seemed to come from a perspective of someone who never met a woman, couldn't speak english well, and had, overall, the sensibilities of a painfully awkward teen just hitting puberty, and ashamed of it, and directing it as a condemnation and desecration of everything that is uniquely beautiful and precious about women; or at least, the female form, or the concept of romantic union with a woman.


Instead, the most disturbing horror to me, was not the art ( which was very, very shitty - I mean, scans of lined notebook paper, drawn with crayon, that looked like it took longer to scan and upload than to draw; wtf? Like eating food tossed into the garbage dumpster after it was scraped off a dinner plate in a fast food restaurant), but instead was the depraved attitude of speaking about women as though they were like livestock, and depicting them begging for sex, and to be butchered. This whole presentation of inapropos emotional response and attitude from the women, clearly demonstrate a gender hostility, from weak minded incels. I felt, at the very least, own up that you find women's bodies attractive, and that they remain attractive in lurid pre code horror scenes, and that you look at them for that reason, because beautiful women are in it. Show the minimum amount of respect for the thing you admire.


To me, that concludes the debate about what LuridMax artwork glorifies: it glorifies the beauty of women, in all forms of physiques, muscular , voluptuous, and is an expression of the enduring attractive, allure of female beauty, despite horror elements present in the image. These only quicken the underlying response. Easily tested, remove the beautiful female from the image, the remaining horror tropes have less impact on the average viewer; the greater attraction is to the woman's form; rather than the horror. Like a porn star who wears a halloween costume; is it the costume that is most attractive, or the model that makes it attractive. It is elementary, and any idiot can make the mundane claim that horror images, make people want to commit horror. It takes more thought, and stamina, spiritual perseverance and tenacity, to create a lurid horror image, like the kinds from the 1950's, where the woman's physique and beauty is given attention to detail, and finely rendered like a Michaelangelo sculpture, just to offer a variety of Halloween treat, not deliberately embedded with razor blades.


What purpose does LuridMax serve - when I want to see a simple, gender agenda free, non rape murder anime masturbatory comic, image, I find only more of the same crap that makes me feel like a stranger in a stranger modern internet landscape of despicable weirdos; but with LuridMax, I see the 1950's style art, that is scarcer these days - as video games, eclipsed comics as an entertainment medium for youth, and comics still remain censored like it was designed for a target audience under the age of 10. LuridMax comics, art, content, and writings, essays, are all designed for a mature adult audience, mostly straight males who remember the 1950's EC covers in the 1980's, and how taboo pre code horror scenes were; I can list them: decapitation, hanging, gun shot, electric chair, acid, bondage, headlights,.. ( does this ring a bell, straight from the comics price guides) . Since the people who started paying me on day 1 of posting some old drawings I did in the 1990's, to my original LuridMax deviant art page, back in 2018, requested decapitation/beheading illustrations; and a few long time members paid for commissions for scenes with particular characters, specifically with beheading. I mostly posted cropped thumbnails, as 'deviations' to this LuridMax gallery; and drew more of what the patrons were paying for; thus LuridMax became associated primarily with progress sketches of women beheaded - that's how having paid susbcribers limits the scope of an artist's aspirations, just as surely as working on a writer's script for their mainstream Dark Horse comics book project.


I drew other stuff, and continued working on my projects, many that didn't featured nude women, or beheading - so it always seems bizarre when I encounter subscribers of fans, who try to have a conversation about the latter subject, and I simply cannot relate to them, and don't share the level or depth of interest - they seem genuinely unable to comprehend that someone that can draw detailed images, as the ones I featured (only in their complete form on my website to paid subscribers after they've been vetted, ( just to save myself hassle down the road)) is not as fascinated with the topic as they are.


I draw really fast, cause I have been practicing the craft since I was a small child; and I draw well from reference, to the level it is almost like a xerox; so while I draw, it is like walking 6 miles, I am not seeing the forest for trees, ( just each tree as it gets near my relatively narrow field of view; the more detailed, the more narrow is the field of concentration) I simply enjoy exercising the discipline, and listening to a variety of music; when it's done, I scan, and post, and don't see it again ( unless I revisit it with detail, ink or color).


There is not enough time in the day to sketch, cook, exercise, work, write, compose music, do chores, upload, respond to social media, and withdraw meager earnings, to sit around looking at art, or being anything more than a vessel to create; and the things that nourish that are, consistent sleep, nutrition, and a positive attitude, and helping others. So though I create the art, I am not in a social club interacting with it; maybe in a similar sense to a performer at a rock concert, who does the singing and dancing, but doesn't listen to his music in his free time; or an actor who doesn't watch the films they are in.


Shortly after encountering a spamming autistic pedo phile troll, who liked to contact young account holders around the age of 10, just to have conversations about video games that a modern day 10 year would play ( an odd recreation, this dude was likely a 60 yr old, diabetic registered sex offender ) , who made my notes and comments section inefficient to use for communicating to patrons, I moved my work to a different brand, and developed the comics and stories in the style, and with the attitude I described: like Wes craven's Nightmare of Elm Street series, there are lurid scenes, with hot nude women, and horror gore, but the story is a survival story, with actors who are playing the straight man; 'straight' meaning , they are ordinary of morality, and have a typical common sense reaction to the horrors they encounter; making the experience to the viewer, in the perspective of a normal world, taken and immersed suddenly in a nightmarish dystopia: the viewer always knows the villain, is a monster, and the spectacle is the unique powers of the villain, which are terrorizing the protagonists, who try to survive, and only by virtue and smarts, do any thwart the diabolical machinations of the villain. I grew up with movies like this, and stories like this were ordinary. To me it is harmless entertainment, and nostalgic. I created LuridMax in this spirit. If you enjoy it, support it at Subscribestar ( not in the Deviant Art subscription system, since they as of now have a broken 2 factor identification system. )


Now that I find Deviant art staff are stonewalling in response to my requests for access and fixing the problem they created, and my LuridMax account, which I honestly hardly posted anything to since DA failed to prevent the spammer from wasting my time ( in early 2019), making the page ineffective - is currently frozen, totally inaccessible by me, it's creator. I feel like bringing the art and comics I was working on - then elsewhere, with the current skills I developed in that time, back to deviant art, to LuridMax 2.


I will keep updating in this manner ( and on my website, and subscribestar) as time allows ( I am caring for an elderly family member who cannot remember to eat meals, and I cook, and prevent falls, and conduct physical therapy: they have improved phenomenally; but I have had to set down myriad creative projects I was juggling, in both, video, music, writing and art. ) I defend and promote this project, because it is explicitly well intentioned ( yet gets attacked and censored, by virtue signaling keyboard warriors, and abusive zealots who feel their allegiance to their own chosen dogma gives them a pass to shit on anything that isn't Disney G -PG) , and I see how much guro /dolcett proliferates unchecked as a result of no alternatives to lurid pre code horror.


If you don't like to see women presented as sex objects, then don't look here. If you don't like to see anatomical gore, then don't look here. If you only want to see G- PG character art, pin ups, non gory fetishes, or objects, boats, guns, legos; if you are a child seeking autistic pedo phile lurker, or zealot hyper censorship fearmongering/hate mongering self righteous bigot, or guro/dolcett die hard, then I am not creating art or writing for you. There are plenty of sources to get what you are interested in.


I am posting Lurid Pre Code horror comics, art, from myself, and other professional artists; if you like that, you can support at subscribe star. Have a nice day. Hug the ones you love, and make the most of your time while the sun is till up. I will be back to post new artwork at Subscribestar, and my new Public Gallery on the LuridMax website ( hosted by dreamhost: which doesn't censor my art); and possibly post some previews or thumbnails, or non risque /controversial images on my new LuridMax 2 page ( up until I lose access to that for the same 2 factor identification reason).


I made my private website soon after I set up a Patreon in 2018, and it allows me total freedom in art and communication, and the viewers who supported it initially, still have access to the website. If you want access to the website, and gain access to my latest project developments, across all the projects I am working on, become a trusted, vetted member, by subscribing to Subscribestar LuridMax ( and sending a message that you'd like website access, once I see you are a trustworthy individual interested in the art, I will give you full access to my websites - contact me today at Subscribestar Lurid Max) .


I will repost this as a journal to my new LuridMax2 account, and eventually to my website as a new pre-amble to this new Renaissance of Lurid Pre-Code Horror.


I will try to update here on the comments section of my original LuridMax account that someone at Deviant art idiotically set up 2 factor authentication on, without sending me a QR code to connect my authenticator app, that prevents me, the actual owner, from logging into my account, to withdraw earnings or disable 2 factor identification; and won't respond to the 4 tickets I made, using other Deviant art accounts they didn't automatically set up 2 factor identification on ( which lack any earnings - just coincidence?) ; since I didn't send them the ticket from the deviant art account I got locked out of - because I am locked out ( shrug). Even though I have the same payment info, and they could easily verify my identity by my credit card.


This is clearly bad customer service, Deviant Art has thus far demonstrated no intention to honor my 6 years as a customer of core*

they haven't checked my associated email, or tried to contact it to assess if I am having problems accessing my account ( in light of the 4 tickets from other accounts) - What can I say, Deviant Art just seems to be run by lazy people who aren't even trying; yet brazenly keep trying to sell core for more.


* multiple other accounts, with core, and having recently used the same email I set it up with 6 years, ago to withdraw earning in the past year.


Unless they fix this, and soon - I won't be buying core again, or setting up a subscription service through deviant art ( which nets them fees off of my subscribers )


They have several months worth of earnings locked up - and no way to refund the buyer, or contact them, to honor their requests, or even say thank you. This is a situation I would never allow myself to be vulnerable in again, thus I unfortunately cannot trust Deviant art as a platform, to invest much of my creative work to - even though I had wanted it to work, for over several years. What an unimaginable fuck up by deviant art staff; and this catch-22 of 2 factor identification. They can't even reply to my tickets within 3 days. Deviant art really doesn't deserve business, if they act like this. Well I hope this doesn't happen to you - you've been warned. 🙂


So far I have never had any trouble from Pixiv, ( which has Pixiv fanbox; where you can have paid subscriptions - similar to Patreon), or Subscribestar, or my dreamhost website. I will keep creating art, and let these fools at deviant art fumble the only job they had to do, which was to make a place where artists can post, so they can profit off our work. They couldn't keep block/evading /rolls from harrassing well intentioned users back in 2018 because their security system was so bad; and now they lock artist owners out of their own account, with their stupidly implemented two factor identification, which was supposed to be a bonus security factor, available only to core members - but now is like a bank jettisoning all it's clients valuables, leaving them having invested for nothing.


Thanks again, for everything Deviant Art. I will recommend people to stay away from your subscription, and core memberships, and let them know what they can expect from your 'ostensible' customer service; which is more like a ticket at the dmv.

Okay, the above I wrote- I was assuming DA was responsible for locking me out of my account somehow. It has been resolved. I just gained access now. I wrote the above using a new account, I entitled LuridMax2. Anyway, boring story, but now, I was able to check my recent notes, and was pleased to see 3 different individuals subscribed for 2 months, to gain access to the blog on my website, where I post regular art updates - so I was able to contact them, and plan to set up dedicated web portals for them. So, now that the above issue is resolved, so far. I will report back, as I ensure this doesn't happen again, by user error. 1) I will disable 2FA, and then 2) I will contact viewers who subscribe and direct them to join at subscribestar instead. [ viewers who join through DA, I have no way of vetting ( because DA has your personal payment info - I only see the username)] I can trust you with more raw content, if you join directly at subscribestar ( that way I can see your payment info, and verify your identity).
