>>50948876Thanks for the tip, seems worth a try. I know that was the method for Pixiv years ago, which thankfully seems to have become much more accomodating to foreigners. I've found it's system of showing similar images to be helpful too, as with
>>50905210 for example. It's only a pity a good number of artists fled and chose Twitter as their new home, a site from my experience which isn't friendly UI wise for people interested in art.
And, thanks, you don't seem so bad yourself, not least of all for your help and generosity.
Yes, I'm quite familiar with discovering new things to enjoy from either art, stories, or conversation. Maybe not to the same extent I enjoy feet, but enough to keep things fresh. It actually feels like things have gotten better than they were a decade ago, but you're right that the demographics aren't generous unless the male is a trap. Commissions are an option, but for the most part I haven't had a great experience with them in the past (Other than writings from a friend, but he's a bit more selective with male characters than I am) and at the moment my desire isn't great enough to over come that. Drawthreads might be better though, gives the artist more freedom.
I saw one myself, though I'm not sure if it was the group I mentioned or another group who did subbed it for its notoriety. The Dratini episode is similar in the West, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was out there as long as the raw could be found.
As I said this piece of art jogged it loose from my memory, but I do remember the originally scene in Japanese being on some random tickle site, though you might be right that even without that it may have stuck in my mind. Ash was one of my favorite pokeboys in the day, ever since I came across a tickling story with him and Misty. Unfortunately it no longer holds up so many years later for multiple reasons.
