Hi Everyone
It is my sad duty to inform you all that Lesther's DeviantArt page as finally been shut down by those philistines over at DeviantArt. Lesther over 14 years contributed much to our community with his memorable and varied artwork, celebrating female/female USB in all it's splendour.
His USB art was dynamic, vibrant, unique and simply scintillating, which served as an inspiration to me during my writing. Demonstrating to us all the power of skill over the soullessness of AI "art" but now it's gone forever; all the hours of his life spent all for nothing. A sad day indeed for our trope and our community.
A few of you probably noticed that he stopped posting in here, probably because we were taking him for granted. Regardless of whether or not this is the case, the trope and our community have lost a true artist and a treasure trove of his earlier works.
But, on a brighter note he's still on pixiv where they are a little less squeamish and uptight about things. So silver linings and all that.

No worries darth, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

What incredibly bad news! I have followed Lesther from his beginning on DA.
While he has posted elsewhere his older stuff was only on DA and I am so sorry that it is probably now lost forever.
So sorry to hear this.

Indeed my friend, I to followed Lesther since the beginning and the thought of all his older content is now lost to us is a frightening one.
Let's hope thus doesn't happen to our other talented DeviantArt artists.

Damn.

Well at least the silver lining is, is that his Pixiv is still operational (as you said) and to be honest, he seems like he gets more love and appreciation at Pixiv then he does at DA.
Yes, it's still bad news to hear, but sadly, this is DA. While I do enjoy it, I'm also not blind and am aware that it's becoming a shadow of it's former self. Like Meditions, I know a lot of his really old work was on there, but hopefully he's got them saved somewhere and he'll just re-upload them on Pixiv. Oorrr, me might just redo them and touch them up a bit.
Either way, this was still frustrating to hear.

I know what you mean Trackman, I'm following him on pixiv and it's true that Lesther is much more appreciated by the big community on there. And while the futa, ryona and male involved stuff is not to my tastes( no offence to Lesther), he still produces some wonderful USB scenes in his own unique and vibrant style.
That being said, we can only hope that he has some of his golden oldies squirreled away somewhere or like you said he dusts them off and remasters them, so to speak.
Like I said to Darth, I'm sorry to bring this frustrating situation to the group.

That's terrible news
As if I had suspected it, I was browsing some of his older stuff (his pencil drawings are my favorites) last weekend after a long time.

Well this is very unfortunate news. Always horrible to hear things like this.
Not so sure on PixIV though...it's always pot luck or a ticking time bomb with any adult content hosting site on the internet.
I have a friend who had his Pixiv site nuked a year or so back, and his content was tame with no nudity.
But for preservation purposes...there is some positivity here. DA is a "mirror" or "projection" site. Wixmp is actually the real source where images get uploaded to, then projected through the DA account.
And at the moment...ALL the images Lesther uploaded that are either linked or shown in this forum are still viewable *AT THE MOMENT*.
Check out his thread page:
viewforum.php?f=79
Now would be a very good time to download everything you can, because all that could be on a timer. I remember testing this several years back by uploading something to DA and deliberately deleting it to see how long it could still be viewed via the Wixmp image address. Think it was about a month or so before it was actually gone completely.
So anyone who wants to preserve his work and keep it forever...best get downloading ASAP.
