be honest is it worth it drawing deprived stuff for money?

>>7644070 (OP)
if you have to ask, the answers is no.

>>7644070 (OP)
No. You do it if you’ve already sunk too much time into drawing to divert course and you’re facing down shelf stocking or a long barrel. Even among top skill and appeal you need luck and the consistency of a 9-5, which if you had you’d pick something more stable or meaningful. Drawing porn, especially in the age of AI, is either something you do for attention, because you’re already internet poisoned, or you failed to do something better. If you were internet poisoned and actually felt fulfilled by the work, you’d know by now.

How about give actual advice?

Pose the question. What would you like to know?

>>7644070 (OP)
It's all or nothing with NSFW work. A lot of commissioners want questionable shit, loli for example. The more depraved you can legally go, the better your prospects, but it can still be difficult in terms of income. I personally anticipate a new wave of porn bans/regulation that make an NSFW income impossible (in the west) in the long term, times being what they are and all.

If you've got genuine skill, it'd be better to just gamble on SFW fan art + building your own IP, maybe learning and incorporating some other mediums and skills into your work (3D, Game/Software dev, animation, story telling etc.) Without that added extra, you're doomed to fail anyway unless you're mega lucky or talented.

Also, don't be fooled,.not every 100K follow count artist is making bank. I've seen some of them making $300-400 a month, which isn't exactly a living in most western countries. Some of them draw quick though or live in countries with low cost of livign, which makes it worth it.

Rather than just thinking "NSFW = Monet, SFW = broke", look into ways that smart artists capitalize on the art they create. Patreon and comms work well, but the big artists know how to build a brand , go to conventions, record or stream their process, talk to their audience, sell prints, setup online stores, source merchandise vendors etc.
Maybe not all at once, but these are all beneficial skills to be aware of.
It's really more about being good at business. "Draw good" isn't quite enough for much more than pocket money.

>>7644095
You know what here, I’ll give you a freebie. Do like 3 tutorials on game maker, learn to write atleast halfway decent, then make visual novels if you’ve already got art skill. At least then you’ve got a chance at income and a potential skillset could develop that people would actually hire you for. Instead of $15 for 4 hours of your time drawing some tits you charge $5 a copy on a set of 100 or so tits and tit related images overlaid with dialogue. Most don’t sell many copies, but it’s still a more whole-grain approach to this shit.

>>7644070 (OP)
No.
Draw what you like and your audience will present itself, and you won't be miserable drawing.

Shut up retard

>>7644070 (OP)
Yes I just want to be a ero artist purposefully fuck I'll be proud of it

Can you speak in English, you raging faggot?

>>7644106
I don't know about the other anons here being faggy but I appreciate whatever feedback you could give anon along with the hot goth girl stonetoss. I don't have crazy prospects in life due to how it went, but I'm trying to change that and maybe building some kind of online presence with my art, personality or both could help get me closer to a solution, or at least just a cope to help me get through the day. Plus I do have like a couple kinky fantasies that I want to see explored, if not experienced directly. I bee-lieve I can make it. Take care.

Only if you like the subject yourself. I don't draw women wrestling because I get commed to draw it. I get commed to draw it because I'm into it myself and my followers and commissioners can see it.

>>7644070 (OP)
If you arent already drawing smut, then the answer is no. That isnt to say that you arent allowed to be a sick fuck, but if that isnt your instinct then you shouldnt fight it, just try to grow an audience with what you are already want to draw.
Like pic related is years old in terms of my work but it represents what I currently do so I'll use it as an example. Like I've been doing life drawing studies for years, Ive seen and drawn more naked men and women then one would need if they wanted to learn to draw smut but my instinct is to do shit like pic related. I attempted to do smut just to see what I can produce but I can barely muster up the energy to do pin ups(which you start off with drawing your subjects naked anyway if you do your fundies, hardly pushing smut limits). I prefer drawing cute cartoony shit, in spite of constantly observing naked people and my ever growing fap folder, its my main motivator for my art and the reason why I continue want to do better.
I dont know what your preferred subject matter is, but if its smut go for it. If not why not try to build an audience with what you do already? Its ""harder"" but not that much harder(plus in this online age its a lot of luck anyway just to please the algo) Like I remember discovering this short https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR_vbRe3Skw from this nobody who hadnt had that much of a following until he started making stuff with this character and this world, and lo and behold it gained traction, not like a billion views worth but a couple hundreds of people is not fucking nothing, I'd kill for that. While everyone will always want porn people want to experience different things(plus those gooners cant goon all the time, they gotta break it up with somethin), if you know you can provide something, do it.

>>7644070 (OP)
If you also get turned on by depraved stuff then yes.The reason behind this is that your fans will see the passion in your work and think "this guy is a freak just like me" then become consistent customers from that point on.

If youre the artist equivalent of an only fans whore posting pictures with her pussy out for $5 monthly then no, it's not worth it.

>>7644070 (OP)
>it worth it drawing deprived stuff for money?
No, but it's worth drawing depraved stuff.

>>7644106
This genuinely sounds like a decent idea. If nothing else you'll learn some extra skills you could put to use in art and other fields. Expanding on what you already know in new fields like this is interesting. Not OP, but thanks.

>>7644070 (OP)
as if drawing depraved stuff is going to magically make you successful

>>7644070 (OP)
Only if you're truly into it. If it disgusts you, you will suffer.

>>7644162
I'm in the same boat. I drew porn and pin ups because I was copying artists that I admired and I learned a lot from them. But since a few months I realized that I don't give a damn about it, I was just doing things that made me feel skilled. I couldn't understand before why I wasnt liking anything I drew, and it was because I just did it because I thought it was necessary. The good thing to do.
I enjoy drawing cute, cartoony, simple designs... Anything cute bring me joy. Somehow it's harder than anything I did before, but I like the challenge.

>>7644070 (OP)
Only if you like the depraved stuff. If you do then awesome. You're making money drawing what you already wanted to do. Otherwise You'll probably not enjoy it much.

Drawing things you don't enjoy is probably the number one reason why artists quit. Don't chase fame and money.

>>7644070 (OP)
Draw depraved stuff because you are depraved. Otherwise your lack of passion will shine through.

You’re literally ESL, why even write this?

Is this a bot? These are extremely generic responses that aren’t even applied right for a couple of these.

>>7644153
You write feminine, and you can make it with this approach if you’re female. If not, you’re gonna want to find something you can stand to practice 4 hrs a day, working your way up to 8 hrs a day. Being self employed and independent is cool, but honestly, as hard and sucky as 9-5s are, they’re unironically easier for the work to reward ratio than trying to get paid by internet people for entertainment. Learn to work hard in pursuit of your dreams, even when it’s uncomfortable, because you’l be working hard either way, and it may as well be for you rather than some boss.

>>7644935
I think so? Either that or some new dedicated asshole. Been showing up in other threads too.

>>7644935
>>7644951
The howie troll has decided to try new avenues because people are recognizing his tactics. Or he inspired other fuckheads.

>>7644935
Probably. I saw it ask someone "how about you give actual advice?" while replying to them literally giving someone actual advice.

I miss the schizos that at least put in effort for their bots.

>>7644070 (OP)
yes, but also >>7644079 is kinda right.
If you don't have the heart of a gooner, you're gonna have a bad time

>>7644070 (OP)
Nah. I'm managing by just having to ocassionally draw massive tits. Which isn't all that crazy.

None of the feet stuff, vore, scat, gross degenerate bs. Get good at drawing honkers and the world is your oyster.

if God is real and doing it contributes you going to hell, then certainly not. that aside, no matter how confident or content you might be in the moment, you ultimately don't know what you'll feel like in the future or how exactly your present actions might affect your future actions: it's guess work. whatever decision you choose, you have no one to blame but yourself.

>>7644070 (OP)
Only if you make it big otherwise you're stuck with disgusting niche porn that make you puke.
