can I ever be taken seriously as an artist if I draw kinky stuff like picrel for example?

I wanna make serious comics and try and get published, but I also wanna start a twitter account and draw some borderline nsfw comic strips with anthro girls, orc girls, amazons, etc.

If I wanna break into comics and make serious art, should I stay away from doing stuff like that? Not ever gonna draw nsfw, but I'll probably skirt the line if I make the account

Just make a separate account if you're that worried about people finding your fetish weird, that said, some of the most popular stories have their author kink on full display.

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret Anon.
Everyone in the industry are perverts, all of them.
Animators, cartoonists, illustrators, they're all sickos just like us.
Also many many artists in Japan got their start making porn.
(Pic related isn't mine just an example)

These days nsfw art is probably more lucrative than making conventional comics.

You better be pairing with a writer because that comic is pure trash slop that only coomers find appealing
Without the "INSTANT OVULATION OMG SO HOT" panel, the comic works the exact same, but I have the feeling that you felt you needed to add that, it wasn't a commission/request. That is coomer trash for human trash.
I think you added that panel, personally.
And if you are going to do trash additions because you have trash mentality for story telling on your "serious" work, you won't get far
But maybe I'm wrong, this was a commission, and someone else asked you to add that panel, in which case good luck on your new enterprise.

I love how Chickenpeansfw pulls out a "real" story, about someone not Chickenpeansfw, draw something about that story, Chickenpeansfw, and proceed to post it platered with ChickenpeansfwChickenpeansfw.
I get vibes kinda like, someone tells you a funny anecdote, Chickenpeansfw, and then because you found it funny, you tell that anecdote to someone else in third person.
Chickenpeansfw

hes not saying thats his, picrel is a twitter account that draws that stuff

I think you're having a stroke

>>8036295
I'll just assume that's him because he didn't actually posted his stuff.
Or maybe he did. In the OP.
Note also that the "kinky" stuff he said he draws, is the worst part of the comic page he posted, as I explained.

All artists are perverse on one level or another, because sexual deviancy is a differentiation from normalcy. The realest artists can appreciate the unique approach to sexuality through fetish art the same way they can appreciate the breaking of socially acceptable rules through their art in other areas, like politics, religion, culture etc.
To deviate from the natural consensus is to be a pervert by definition.
If art doesn't "offend" for lack of a better term, someone's sensibilities to some degree, somehow, then what exactly is the point?
>Serious art
You make it sound so appealing anon...I'm sure your audience will be enthusiastic every time you post lol

DC recently hired a guy for a Supergirl anthology that draws shota so I think you're fine

why did porn comics just completely die in like 2020? Or did I just stop looking in the right places?

Some of the western shit was actually good.

the inflation stuff is the least of this guy's problems

>>8034121
you see, porn is the easy way out, the tradeoff is that it blacklists all your future work no matter what

I like that image, there needs to be more cougar art ot there

Blacklist from what exactly? Even loli porn artists get work with DC/Marvel

i wouldnt take you seriously because of the quality of your art, but honestly i jerk off to worse both fetish and quality wise. anyways, shit lineweight, zero variance. shit overlaps like where the shoulder connects the the arm on the guy top right, dudes got pancake shoulders or something. hands also dont bend like his right hand does. alot of your issues would be solved by looking in the mirror and copying so you dont have much of an excuse. also alot of it looks heavily referenced from templates, which is a huge crutch and something you need to ditch asap. you could certainly be popular with this artstyle but you would lose the most important thing in the world, my respect.

It doesn't matter. Whenever he gets dogged on, it'll always be brought up. He will always be known as the inflation guy.

Sexual taboos are just embarrassing. You relinquish your dignity.

Nowadays, it’s self-employment or death as an artist. It’s pointless to prepare yourself for a future that no longer exists for 99.9% of all artists.
Draw nsfw art because it's what you want. No need to worry about giving some HR lady the -ick years later.
>>
>>8038373
No it doesn't. A massive number of illustrators/animators have made porn either privately or publicly at some point.
The trick is to be professional and to also just have separate portfolios, which you should have even for your sfw stuff anyway. Portraits aren't going to help you get hired as an environment artist, mecha and car drawings aren't going to get you hired as a creature designer, and showing off a library of body horror eldritch abominations isn't usually going to go well with a children's book publisher, unless they're doing a resurrection of Goosebumps I suppose.
The much bigger problem right now is that the entire media industry is currently on fire and no one really knows what the future landscape is going to look like.
