>>2964596I paypig for magister and while I really don't think I would ever pay top-dollar for his archived stuff, which is incredibly expensive, his monthly sub is generous - multiple high-res version prints of the "primary" piece, as well as a handful of other sketches and drawings that clearly are just what he feels like doing on any given day - some of these are often "better" than the primary piece IMO.
These artists have to eat, and I think the better the OC and quality the more they have the option to paywall - good content is both easy and hard to find at the same time, and for serial gooners like myself who have literally been around the internet thousands of times and back again, "new" is a novelty I'm willing to pay for.
As far as artist crash-outs go I do think that NSFW art is a thing that "traps" people - if a person draws, its guaranteed in a secret art book somewhere hidden away in their closest is at minimum a handful of experimental NSFW drawings. You cant give a human the power to create images and not expect them to draw boobs, ass, and dicks.
I think only a handful of artists go into NSFW intentionally. I think most view it as base, or copping out, and fall into it as a means of quick cash. Then it turns out for whatever reason they are better at NSFW art than SFW art and its a reality they cant cope with. "I'm not a real artist" syndrome. Actors get this too - people who can and get steady "unglamorous" work in commercials or what have you freak out because they aren't staring in Shakespeare on Broadway.
You throw a few depraved commissions for pedo work, bestiality, or guro on top of that and I can understand how people break - If I spent hundreds of hours focusing on an OC girl character, mirroring my emotions into the art to increase its quality, only for some anon to offer me 2k for a picture of her getting brutally raped - and I had to take the commission because my rent was due... I think that might fuck me up a little.
