The fall of Sakimichan.
Not surprised to be honest, she was spiraling downwards since COVID and now the last content change put the last nail in the coffin.


I mean, just for comparison’s sake take a look at this Matsumoto pinup. c7132f4e9dcedfea55fbf536923c9b66.jpeg
Sharp, great illumination, outstanding artwork.




Now let's take a look at one of her more recent pinups. I will take this Esdeath as an example.

Blurry, less detailed, and feels like somewhat of a downgrade.


Finally.....

I love doujinshi, however what is this abomination. If you are not interested in the characters, it is straight up downright bad in terms of content provided because she only focuses on what she wants to draw you are stuck with lower quality art for a month.


Here is a colored version of the woman from one of my favorite doujinshi "Drawn by Brush | Nikuhitsu: Sensei no Fukujuu Lesson.
It is outstanding quality and you can even buy a physical book for it for around $10/EUR, however if see Sakimi's prices for her new content your heart will sink. None in his right mind would buy her content.

Peace out boys and have a nice day!

that was harsh, but agreeable. it seem she changed her art style few times. but we know that we want to pay her truest style not else. the Esdeath one i would say it is her style but got down grade. and that spiders one is uh a meh... if i want to pay her subs. she should be put it on her new account, just like youtubers these days.

We all know Sex sells and you dont need to try too hard anymore if you are already succesful. Thats just how things are. I am drawing Pictures myself and its a buttload of work to draw and photoshop everything like Sakimichan does. So I do understand when she put less work into it when she dosnt lose too many Patrones because of that.

And the second point. Sex sells. Maybe thats what people wants. Not Pictures, instead little doujin and animated stuff from Movies and Animes and Cartoons which are really hot right now like Princes Peach, Elsa and Spider Gwen.

Its sad but you have to give the people want they want and not whats good. I liked a Youtuber a lot. He made good videos about people. What does a Teacher do, or what does a Busdriver do. Not many views but I really liked it. Then he changed to other topics like what does Pornstar do, what does a pimp do, what does a drug dealer do... views exploded and he keep doing more videos like that.

The problem was never about pinup/sex. It was her overall monetization and patreon handling. If she wants to do hardcore, I am all for that, however I am not big fan her work currently because of downgraded artstyle + lack of character diversity + rather lackluster 18 comics.

She is not doujin artist and has no experience doing this kind of content but who knows maybe she will put on a banger some day.

This is just my 2 cents...but it's very possible that the deluge of AI images has really affected a lot of pin-up artists. Doing their kind of art takes an incredible amount of time and effort and not many people can achieve that level of work.. until now. With a few well written prompts, any random person can generate tons of similar images. There has also been a lot of scrutiny on whether the artist has started to use AI to aid their artwork now (ie: Neoartcore, Dandon) and this has caused a lot of strife amongst fans and patrons who feel short-changed and I'm pretty sure the artists are well aware of what's happening. There was even a recent case of some fella blatantly copying Sakimi's work, modifying it with AI and then calling it his original art. A lot of them have either reduced their output or stopped altogether citing burn-out as the main cause. Can we really blame them?

I can only surmise that Sakimi's change and her deviation to a more comic style is simply to differentiate her work from AI. It's still really good art and for the moment, AI can't really do comics. Honestly, I'm not really a fan of her comics and I do prefer her earlier pin up works but it's better than her giving up totally.

I already knew that some things were posted on the reddit for a while now, but not ALL of the new comics are there. I don't think anything constructive is actually being said here other than people expressing that they don't like her art. That's perfectly fine, I remember when the complaints about her art were always about her characters all having the same face or being anatomically incorrect. But if you don't like her art why are you even wasting your time here?
