Anon, I dont have schizophrenia but if real,

your father is coping with a disease. You don't know if the real man you once knew is still trapped inside there.
I can attest to the power of drawing giving voice to the voiceless, do not stop your father from drawing,

At least these otherwise dark feelings are manifesting as thus; safe drawings, these are not unholy works my child, but rather documentation.

Would you rather he just keep these images in his head? Its a portal into his world, even though it seems like satan has sprung schizophrenia, upon thee, a horrid disease, I feel for you anon.

Art is the silver lining to your fathers condition, one day, when he is gone, there will be nothing left but this art and youll be glad you had them no matter how dark they seem now.

God is with you, dont submerge his last bastion of humanity, I have seen schizophrenia firsthand. schizos seem like they dont care, but these are people dealing with traumatic processing of the brain anon.

Even when I was deemed lost, i found god, and to this day persist that my goal in life is to lessen suffering for all men, however much I can.

>low-mid beg. stop drawing porn. art is the ultimate expression of our divine right as human beings (free will)
using it to make porn is perverse

this is my real powerlevel.
I could also not disagree with you more, unless you are denying your own humanity is all.
The sacred and the profane are two forces, have you not seen the ecstasy of Teresa by Bernini? The union is is what brings about the divine for the genius.

Pic related is half my timeline, 2020 to 2023 will be the next post after this.
