Tate McRae Promo + Retirement Announcement

Post by MollySmalls » Fri Dec 19, 2025 12:07 am

After sitting down and thinking about it for awhile, I've decided to leave content creation behind moving into 2026. What once started as a love for writing transmuted into creating visuals with AI, and very recently transmuted into video creation with AI.

I feel I've crossed a boundary where nothing is off limits for me to create with size content, and I don't like where it puts me mentally on a day to day basis. My social life has suffered because of it, and I feel I use content creation to escape the confusion it is of being me.

I plan to post one more content dump on my DeviantArt page this weekend, below are previews from that session. Please if you have any requests of any kind, involving any one famous, any celebrity or any situation. Please comment below and I will create it, one last time before I put it all behind me.

Thank you for your kindness and support throughout my content creation journey. I never expected to become this type of artist, and the thought of continuing to progress down this path scares me.

I don´t see any problem in reducing Social Life and increasing Computer time AS LONG as it is conscient and optional and not any sort of refuge !!!

I´m a very social person, you can call me the life of the party in many occasions, but I´m spending a lot of time at home with my PC and my 3 Cats, it is optional and not an inevitability of life, so I´m good with it !!!

There is a price, when you start canceling hanging out, people with time stop calling you and inviting you, but I know the moment I call and challenge anyone to hang out they will be ok with my return...

Life does not have to maintain ALWAYS the same status-quo !!!

I am sorry ot hear that you want to leave content creation, because we lose another talented sw artist. On the other side your reasons behind it are understandable. I personally hope that you find a compromise in the future, which allows you to create some stuff from time to time. But first concentrate on your mental health and social life.

Thank you for the chance to request your unique skills.
I would like to see Ana de Armas from her role out of the movie James Bond. So maybe you could place her in a bar scene on the barkeeper table and let her stand beside a Martni glass. She is wearing an evening dress with high heels or a minidress. Furthermore I would love to see another scenario also in the bar scenery - She is sitting in a hand, since your handheld poses are very beautiful.

You're welcome! It has been a joy to create until recently, where it has consumed most all of my free time.

I'll definitely drop by from time to time! Especially to check up on the Miniature Wife!

Always sad to see someone go but real life and mental health always takes priority on all things but take pride in the fact that you created something beautiful and for that the world is a better place. After all it’s all to easy to tear down and trample others it’s so much harder to build something or someone up

Sorry to see you go. I learned a lot from your outstanding tutorial and working with you on the Maggie & Jane comic adaptation (you did all the real work, I just did the layouts). Most of what I've done since wouldn't exist today without your inspiration. Good luck wherever your creative talents take you.

Sorry to see you go.

Thank you for the kind words! It's been a pleasure watching you take AI and run with it, I admire your skills not just with that but photo editing as well! I've started to use content creation as a for of escape from reality, and don't like how it's taking more and more control of my life. The use of image to video is what triggered it as it is incredibly time consuming, but just as rewarding.

Here's an example using KlingAI with an image I generated: https://www.deviantart.com/mollysmalls/ ... 1277788568

I don't recommend going down this path but its definitely been more fun to create content with that combination. But also incredibly draining and time consuming.

I hate to see you go, but I respect your decision. Thank you for your hard work. Your tutorial on AI imaging has helped me grasp the medium. Good luck on your next adventure.

It was my pleasure :) I have dozens of images saved that I’ll upload gradually on my Deviant art page. Outside of that I have to leave content creation behind and move forward with my life.

Thank you for the kind words! I’m always flattered and humbled to hear these kind of compliments as I’m a writer at heart and never expected to become this type of artist. All the best!

We're going to miss you here.

If you're still taking requests, I'd love to see more Shrink 'n' Goon. Also, maybe something with Emma Watson?

Thanks for all your contributions; I've really enjoyed them.

I like them a lot. Her outfit and expression are fitting very well and the Omega is a nice detail. Her size in that hand is adorable. It coud only be better if we could see her whole body, but I am pretty sure that if that would have been possible you would have shown it.
Impressive work. Thank you very much for this unique result and your efforts.
