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.

>>7712245Make pornAlso>2 yearsDepending on skill, you may need 3 years of grinding to finally be noticed
>>7712416>Make pornYes, 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 noticedMy 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.
>>7712245Asset 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.
>>7712449pyw?Post your pornYes, porn is not a meme. It's really just the only way to make a living
>>7712452Yes, that's what I'm currently doing now. It's good work. >>7712456>pywYou're looking at it.
>>7712466Eh, surely you can do more complex thingsMake something at least comparable to the animations in Succubus Affection
>>7712245Do 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?

>>7712539Since you do pixel stuff, look into itch.io
>>7712245build 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.
>>7712245Make tile packs / character packs / stuff packs (like signs, trees, statues)Put them on itch.ioLearn to make a simple game project to display themSee if you can join any game jamsThis will get your name out there Things that sell the best are tile packs, and characters/enemoes with full run cyclesIf you can do characters - maybe offer drawing peoples OCs (or them) in your styleGet higher payment if you animate them etcThis 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)
>>7713122I'll say this thoughThe work you posted is so bare bones, very babies first time pixel artYou have learnt the rules - but its basicDraw a scene or a sprite thats 24x32 in sizeSomething bigger and something thats not (that looks) lifted from an old final fantasy rpgPull from the games which get better views, Mother 3 comes to mindCheck out other recent indie games and pull from themType pixelart into pinterest pull from thatNo one will pay much for the individual sprites you have shown so far - maybe if grouped in a massive sprite pack - but otherwise nah
>>7713093people are ugly and fat.
>>7713093>You can just fuck other people.too much hassle, too many risks
>>7713093You must be a woman.
>>7712245>bellow 200 followers>3k$ a month more or less off pixel art>more work than I can do currently turning people awayJust get good and work contract jobs with indies or studiosIf you want to do that your portfolio needs to be big and cover a lot of different pixelart styles
>>7713093Even if people could get laid whenever they wanted to I think they would still draw porn . Are you even an artist ?
>>7713093Why 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.
>>7714095200 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
