I’m a pixel artist currently in the modding scene. I’ve been doing this for 2 years now, having fun and taking it slow, no worries. For awhile now, I keep wondering if it’s possible to make a bit of cash on this. There’s a lot of content creators out there big and small with a ko-fi or a Patreon. Thing is I’m not a big name, and I’ve never made any money off of my art. Is it worth a shot, or is it too much of a hassle? Anyone here with experience making a passive income online wanna give their two cents on this?

I’ll post more of my art for those curious and if the thread is going well.

Depending on skill, you may need 3 years of grinding to finally be noticed

>Make porn
Yes, that's an easy meme to get noticed, but if there's no numbers there in views already it's a waste of time and energy.
>Depending on skill, you may need 3 years of grinding to finally be noticed
My skill is already good, I've already gotten notices and feedback in smaller communities that I'm happy with. But I feel if i refocus on how I post online I can get a more wider audience.

Asset creation for games. If you can prove there's no AI used and make a well rounded prop pack you can do well. I don't mean super high res AKM #29239 but rather a tileset for a top down game.

Post your porn

Yes, porn is not a meme. It's really just the only way to make a living

You're looking at it.
>>
>>7712466
Eh, surely you can do more complex things
Make something at least comparable to the animations in Succubus Affection

>>7712245
Do you have a social media? I'm in need of some custom pixel art and I'm willing to pay, My discord is snowv#0048 feel free to contact me anytime. I'm on other platforms as well. it's for porn.

Does anyone here have any suggestions for setting up online payments? Which apps are better Ko-fi or Patreon?

Since you do pixel stuff, look into itch.io
>>
>>7712245
build an audience. Then you can exploit them for money. Sounds easy right?

Why do people need porn so much? You can just fuck other people.
>>
>>7712245
Make tile packs / character packs / stuff packs (like signs, trees, statues)
Put them on itch.io
Learn to make a simple game project to display them
See if you can join any game jams
This will get your name out there

Things that sell the best are tile packs, and characters/enemoes with full run cycles

If you can do characters - maybe offer drawing peoples OCs (or them) in your style
Get higher payment if you animate them etc

This is my experience - I was a fairly sucessful pixel artist for a while (before getting a family and needing to pivot to a higher paid real job)

I'll say this though
The work you posted is so bare bones, very babies first time pixel art
You have learnt the rules - but its basic
Draw a scene or a sprite thats 24x32 in size
Something bigger and something thats not (that looks) lifted from an old final fantasy rpg

Pull from the games which get better views, Mother 3 comes to mind
Check out other recent indie games and pull from them
Type pixelart into pinterest pull from that

No one will pay much for the individual sprites you have shown so far - maybe if grouped in a massive sprite pack - but otherwise nah

too much hassle, too many risks

You must be a woman.

>bellow 200 followers
>3k$ a month more or less off pixel art
>more work than I can do currently turning people away
Just get good and work contract jobs with indies or studios
If you want to do that your portfolio needs to be big and cover a lot of different pixelart styles

Even if people could get laid whenever they wanted to I think they would still draw porn . Are you even an artist ?
>>
>>7713093
Why would you want subhumans to have sex? Let them have their porn and not spread their subhuman genes while they give you money.
But enough about women.

>>7714095
200 followers making 2k a month?
Please pyw - I was at a comfy 6k followers before I stopped Game Devving
I could have easily transitioned to solely pixel art - maybe I missed the boat

Pic related was an old project I worked on
