>>84987213>Gooner transformers gijinkaRiP though. Totally not something that was already planned but I'm capitalizing on for the timing
>>84997880Realistically are they even “off-model”? That’s just typical artists attributing more sexual traits on a more so simplified look.
Is it worth using X? I mean, I know I could just use an alias and make it private, but I liked the convenience of using XCancel to just browse whatever I wanted with ease. Not to mention they wouldn’t know a damn thing about who I was.

>>84997915Children do not belong in the community.
>>84997915>it should be illegal for children to see weirdos in public!The idea of protecting childhood innocence is tremendously stupid. Especially if so many of them have already seen weirdos before in youtube and non-furry circles.diaperfur drama is a non-issue that irrelevant white content creators mald over because they lost the culture war on pup hoods
Intermediate level artist here. Usually, how long does it take to go from 0 social presence online to being able to sustain a steady patreon/subscribestar as a NSFW artist and have an actual steady audience even if your skills aren't exactly pro level? I started studying how to draw porn ver recently and my goal is to take it as a part time job, besides my main one, done purely for the intention of sustaining my hobbies, and my core goal is 500 USD monthly.
>>85001525same with the LGBT community
These are NAI gens, right? https://e621.net/posts?tags=peptokari They look like the average /slop/ post.
>>85001747stop asking this question every thread, you've been doing this for years. Aren't you like 30-something now? either start posting now or don't and never see success cause your dumbass is still worrying about shit nobody cares about
Most performative artist you know?
>>85002755literally all of them. People's true colors come out when pushed into corners and situations. Judge them based off that and not when everything is in their favour
>>85002781>People's true colors come out when pushed into corners and situationsSo what would you say is the “true colors” of artists then?
>>85003926Pink, white, and blue
>>85001525>a moral thought in current year
>>85004228amoral thought
>make a lewd model of a recent FotM from some indie game>go from 0 to 2k+ followers in less than a weekIs this really the strat? Does chasing trends make getting popular that easy?
>>85001669>they lost the culture war on pup hoodsThey did? I feel like it's just on pause until the next cycle.
>>85004911If anything i’m more surprised they’re even on twitter in the first place. The sole focus on one character and relatively good quality reads to me that they’d be a 4chan artist, hanging out in the endacopia threads on /v/ cause it’s their latest obsession and are just looking for kudos from other anons than anything. But now they’re talking about releasing the model and even doing commissions. Kinda disheartening to see they’re just another run-of-the-mill twitterfag
>>84999526Why are euros so based
>>84998105>Ia it worth using XitterNo
>The bluesky experience
>>85004911endacopia is actually neat a gameit does what a game like dandy's world pretended to do
You know, most porn games have the porn part be in form a cut scene but I think it would funny to make a troll porn game where the porn part is fully interactive and you have to use both hands to play so you can't actually jerk off to the porn.
>>85002049pretty sure the goth lol thingy girl was posted in /slop/ in the last days or so
>>85005439technically could be considered a pay to win game if players purchased toys to jack them off freehand
>>85005439Most porn games either suck at being porn, suck at being games, or suck at being both. I've tried a few but I always find myself just extracting the assets instead of being forced to deal with the game.
It's real funny how Jinti can say all this... and not delete their Twitter. Same with another big artist in that thread Dawmino. If you guys hate the site THAT much, delete your page, you've already established yourselves on Bsky, and your e6 tags link to them. So delete your Twitter page.But we know they wont, because in the off chance Musk gets the boot (be it from the company or life), they'll come back, big numbered account at the ready.
>>85006263Oh the misery Every single person is my enemy
>>84997915Children do not belong in the fandom, no matter how much people try to whitewash (or cute-wash, in this case) the fandom as something other than a lifestyle based upon sexual fetish. The fact that the fandom can be, at times, safe for work is merely a convenience but should only ever be understood that behind it lies sexual proclivity. Everyone who has been on the internet prior to the last 10 years understood this clearly. The only people trying to push for children to be in any way accepted in this fandom are children themselves, adults who only very recently became children, or predators who are way too keen about wanting to be around them.
>>85007817>adults who only very recently became childrenchildren who only very recently became adults*
>>85006263>have the last 5 years taught you nothing?taught what? that xitter remains the hottest public forum to post things?>>85006263>all artists still on twitter are my enemies actually, and deserve everything bad that happens to thema mentally ill person screeching as he only gathers a few hundred likes versus his "enemy artists" that earn thousands, tens of thousands, of likes and better engagement
>>85007817That's like saying being a regular straight person is a lifestyle based on sex with women and that's it. I don't understand why people treat fetishistic attraction any differently to any other attraction. I can be sexually attracted to an anthro character but I can also have non-sexual appreciation for them. Almost all types of attractions function the same. Weebs also based their identity in a large part on sexual shit, even if they were usually too shut in to actually go out there and have sex. But nobody cared about teens becoming weebs, anime in fact just became mainstream.
>>>/tv/222860453Could this be the solution to everything?
Artists CAN evolve. I for one am proud of the fact that Feretta after all these years finally learned how to draw more than one expression for his character. Everyone is capable of improving.
>>85005379Eh, it’s more or less the same shit but in indie flavor, I wouldn’t give it credit
>>85005162>kinda surprised someone is doing it in a way to also get money rather than doing it for freeIs it really that surprising?
you are all so much fucking worse than the artists you complain aboutfucking whiny autistic motherfuckers
>>85009682but what do you get from calling a child a loli?
>>85008782Should probably include Instagram and TikTok too. But sure, why don't (You) do that?
>>85009731Spiritual fulfilment
>>85010246If only we knew who the fuck is that
reminder that you can always just learn to draw yourself and never put up with batshit crazy artists again>>78047774
>>85004911in my experience, posting like a bot literally works if yo u have a back log of art try posting at a specific time daily for a bit
I don't get why would you want to become an online artist in the current climate. At least a popular artist. If i was drawing I would just do it for a bunch of people I personally know and that's it, maybe allow them to repost it somewhere they want. I know people want to make money off that shit, but it's only gonna happen if you draw porn, and if you draw porn you're inevitably plunged into the current moralfaggot climate.
>>84998067It’s a less egregious form, but given it strays from the original designs, it’s still off-modelThe inherit problem with off-model art is that once you make those alterations, they aren’t the same character anymore. You end up with a distorted fanon version of a character that’s completely divorced from reality, but people will still act like they’re the same just cause they like it. There’s so much fanart depicting characters with huge tits and fat asses when in-game they have barley any curves to speak of, or their portrayals being flanderizations when they actually have a more nuanced character beyond one or two traits (and that’s assuming people don’t just impose something completely different altogether)If you have to change or alter a character when depicting them, then you aren’t actually a fan of that character, you’re a fan of the version you made up in your head. You’re free to draw or like whatever you want, but don’t try to tell me you drew a square when you drew a rectangle
>>84732391 >>84733821 that was fucking retarded
>>84997880Pretty sure I found an actual zoophile on Archive of our own. The user's name is 731w9swD.https://archiveofourown.org/works/43096728?page=1&show_comments=true&view_full_work=true#commentsThe story chapters they've written have images of real animals attached, some even being sexually suggestive.https://archiveofourown.org/works/43096728/chapters/108302817The comments section also has actual zoophiles in it as well. Pic related are some examples.Please note that the "on chapter 4,5,6, ect" beside each user's name, tells which chapter entry that user is commenting on. Clicking on it will take you to the individual chapter they've commented on.
another artist give up due to being based, any archives?https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dix_Z8BNKWTRxhtO7zGUPqUFX0ISDIFA2YN5eBTN3Pw/mobilebasic
>>85011578This is the most retarded thing I have ever seen lmao>advice of his therapist His therapist should be stripped of their practice licence
>>85011297nypa
>>85011578His art looks like shit anyway
>>85010792Humans are at the end of the day social animals and social media is more or less gambling with "social acceptance" points. And of the ways to get it being an artist is seen as the more simple ones so there'll be those gunning for it.
>>85005614>MostCare to share which few are good?
>>85006263>It's real funny how Jinti can say all this... and not delete their TwitterI love the implication that he hates himself
>>85012024Why do anons here think they know better than licensed therapists
>>85013673Therapy is a scam. If it worked people wouldn't need to be put on meds.
>>85013819>If therapy worked people wouldn't need to be put on meds>If meds worked people wouldn't need therapy>If they only worked in conjuction then you wouldn't need to do both for 10+ yearsIt's a scam no matter how you try to spin it
>>85014045The entire health industry is a scam really when you think about it.
>>85014181That was my point yes
>>85014181Nearly the whole economy is built on scams if you think about it. These days it’s less about actual quality and innovation and more about coming up with smarter ways to fleece retards out of their money; manufacturing defective products to force you to buy more, convincing you to buy things you don’t need cause for minimal gains, or selling an idea on hypotheticals that never come to fruition. There are no more innovators, only grifters
>>85001669Would you say the same for "family-friendly" fag pride parades?
>>85012041He never said to go after him.>Talk about artists or commissioners, mostly the bad ones or those who got under your skin. Share your experiences and get angry with us.
>>85011281generating porn of someone, or their (((personal))) character without permission and harassing them with it is not only harassment but ... get this... sexual harassment not hard to understand It is in a different field of sexual harassment sure, not to be conflated with a physical crime
>>85015328so you're back to get btfo'd some more?

>>85017175humiliation ritual
>>85013673other therapists tell ypu to indulge in those hobbies but keep it private
>>85015112Yes, it is still a non-issue. Conservative bluechecks influencers ragebait people by lying that 18+ events like Folsom Fair are family friendly pride parades. You should take them with a grain of salt after they whined about nonexistent trans wnba athletes.The right wing attacks minorities to distract from the fact that they're extremely incompetent at running governmemt. Gas prices have been rising and food has been repeatedly recalled due to the right-wing deregulating it, so they want you to freak out over weird fringe perverts or brown people to make it seem as if they're accomplishing something important.In my opinion, the gore that the WhiteHouse posts daily is more harmful to children than them briefly seeing a guy in bdsm gear, puphoods, or diapers.
>>85015328>still comparing it to someone doing an actual real life deepfakeVoodoo doll effect anon truly was right on point
>>85017706good afternoon leftyanon
>>85017549To play therapist's advocate, at that point they might've already been self flagellating over it and the therapist just decided at that point self acceptance wasn't happening and trying to cut it might be better, specially given by their own admission people close to them also affected it and probably more>I look back at these in disgust and regret, as I’ve come to realize thanks to my amazing partner, who I started dating a year ago, but also thanks to taking counseling of friends>I cannot thank my precious boyfriend enough for his incredibly eye-opening views and [...] me changing in this way is mostly thanks to himMade further likely by the fact they even ranted about an age gap in a relationship prior>In 2024 I started a new relationship after having been with my first partner for over 8 years, the problem is, not only did this relationship also had a problematic age gap (though of course we were both adults at this point)
>>85011297Thanks, following everyone you mentioned <3
Annoyed that the aritst I commissioned a year ago is too ADHD to actually work on my com and lacks the funds to give me a refund. But I suppose I can hardly talk when all I do in my spare time is rage queue mobas and doomscroll.
>>85022691>waited past the chargeback date>didn't press them beforehandIf they're running a business, hold them to that standardYou don't give Walmart $80 for groceries and then fuck off out of the store empty-handed
>>85009019Part of me understands that artists love certain expressions they think are cute or hot the most so why would they draw something else, but it gets to a point.I don't think I've ever seen lorepaw do a different expression as an example, they're all squinting constipated looking regardless of context.
>>85022691I will never understand this npc mindset of being okay with waiting more than 6 months on a commission.
Fun fact: did you know that if this piece were a commission it would’ve costed $460?
>>85017706That's a lot of words to say you defend legitimate predators.
>>85025037>uhm you actually argument your position therefore you're wrongI don't even think that anon argumented the position well but this quintessential zoomer reply is even worse. Head empty.
>>85022691I was beating the fuck out of myself for taking a month to finish a comm and berating myself for being lazy
I dunno how people make their whole identity around being a Pokemon with a bandana and accessory goggles or such as I get paranoid even drawing comms of them let alone building out all the stuff some of those groups do. Then again I'm just not invested in it like they are so my risk assessment is different. You'd think more of their knee caps would be broken yet somehow an industrial scale hentai industry exists around Pokemon so maybe Nintendo secretly enables it or something.
>>85026121Does Nintendo give a fuck about OC's? I know Japs are anal about copyright, but I think OC's are fine. They also care more about Mario and Zelda than Pokémon.

>>85027060No, I mean literally emptyNo warning sign, no thumbnail, nothing
>>85001747I think the cold hard truth is that if you're an "intermediate" level artist then you'll have more than 0 social media presence. If you've got 0 then that means you're low tier. Many starting artists and even some bigger names lack self critical thinking. If you're not getting attention, it likely means your art is not worth attention instead of algorithm or some bogeyman. Not that it always matters. Some genuinely amazingly skilled artists have low social media presence too. It's all about how appealing your style is and what subjects you draw. Upping your game is good but there are greatly diminishing returns in working hard at art quality.Personally I'd say that even if your skills are up to par, it'll take at least 10 years or so to really break the mold on social media give or take a few years if you're not anything special. Sometimes you might have a popular friend that shares your stuff around. Discords are the real art spreading social media nowadays. The "underground" network of gooners is what you want to reach to become known. All the big names hang around in discord servers all day and just drop stuff quickly on X or bluesky. If you gain their attention, you'll gain more of a following as a result over time. Might take years to get to that patreon level you're aiming for but you gotta start somewhere.I don't mean this as a "go bother big name artists with your low tier garbage". I mean it as "if you can become appealing enough to gain attention then more doors will start to open".
