Hey, so I'm an artist that likes to dabble in sculpting and making plushies. Mostly I just draw though.

What are some tips for me to get more commissions? Should I do raffles? Provide clearer guidelines? What are some things that attract you to an artist?

>You may change this guide to your fitting:
1. Draw porn in huge masses in medium to high quality
2. Post it fucking everywhere
3. A few weeks later slap your patreon and commission shit on every corner in your pics
4. ????
5. Profit

aw man I like 10 mins trying to find my "if you see this scroling the first page you have been visited by JJ god of jew" reaction image

someone has it?

That's actually pretty cool advice bro. I already do 'tasteful' porn where they're clothed in bras and panties at least, but should I advance beyond that and start drawing full on sex?

I tried doing polls and monitoring what's most popular myself, but it's hard to say. People seem so fickle. Porn does seem super popular tho so you probably have a point

Link pls, I love tasteful porn.
>>
>>26008307
This kind of this (although this is an oldie) I've never really drawn porn much...I guess I should head over to /d/ and get practicing
>>
>>26008307
I tried MLP long ago too, but it just looks too...gross...I don't know how to make ponies sexy really, I should stick to making them less humanised perhaps

horse titties = no bueno

>>26008307
enjoy, this is the only place they're online at the moment
>>
>>26008403
Have anything that's actually a pony?

Draw actual ponies. No human in them at all. Actually, do research of actual horse genitals. That's what people want.

Nah man, just ponies with tits.
>>26008481
Yep, I'm currently working on an octavia, and she gives me the creeps man. Ponies aren't supposed to have tits. Glad that it's an easy rectifiable mistake tho
>>26008534
that face says "kill me now"
>>
>>26008481
And actual horse genitalia? Not ponies with human puss? Are you sure?
>>
>>26008752
Another Anon here. Definitely. Drawing full-on feral is much easier and much more lucrative than anthro.
>>
>>26008842
Thanks man, and yep it looks a lot easier. I guess I've just been drawing humans for so long that it's scary to get out of that comfort zone
>>
>>26008884
It'll take time to get used to, but once you do you'll be catering to the huge group that wants full-on feral pony porn. You'll definitely get more commissions then.

if you want to draw a anthro-pone just draw an anatomically correct human with the head of a mlp pony

Someone who draws mostly out of pleasure, not greed. Comissions are okay, but you're so greedy you make Traceponies seem decent, fucking jew.

>you're so greedy you make Traceponies seem decent, fucking jew.
lol calm down partner, how do you know I'm greedy? I've actually never charged any money for commissions, I do them all for free. I'm just in a tight financial situation now, so I'm wondering how I can make myself attractive as an artist and monetise some of my work

art is a craft, we have to eat too you know

>>26009165
you went full autist there bud

>>26009286
never go full autist

>>26009286
I think people often forget that art is a craft. You wouldn't ask a baker to make you free cupcakes, just because they love doing it. If they make you some for free, that's cool, but you shouldn't grow to expect it to be that way, and get offended when they offer people the option to pay for special cupcakes.

The weird thing is, I've never taken a single penny in return for my art, because I don't think it's good enough for that, but I want to know what people in this fandom like, so I can maybe make some people happy with commissions or plushies or whatever it is you guys are into. I don't think that's such a crime.
>>
I don't know if you're a "furry" artist or what, but pretty much everything that furries like we don't. Only draw feral stuff. Do research about proper horse anatomy and genitalia.

I actually thought mlp conflates with furry art. I even signed up on furaffinity for it, and while there's quite the pony community there, it's not as large as on DA or other sites.

I'm not obsessed with milking money out of people or something, I just never draw cartooney stuff much, so I figured this would be a cool thing to get into, also I like mlp so why not

Also thanks for the tip, when you add boobs to a pony it just pushes it into the uncanny valley too easily I think.
