Is there still a market for Playboy style pin-ups and erotic cartoons? I've always enjoyed artists like Erich Sokol and Jack Cole because they combined two of my favorite things, humor and pin-ups, and I even had wanted to submit to Playboy before they killed the cartoons. I currently draw typical anime style pin-ups (and occassional porn) because it brings in views and spare cash, but I've always wanted to branch out from that style and try my hand at "classier" erotic art and comics. I know there are a lot of artists doing pin-up work, but as far as I can tell they seem to be living off Patreon or online commissions, which is cool, but I'm just wondering if there's still a career for it outside of that. And are erotic/pin-up cartoons in particular still a thing? I know there are webcomics like Oglaf or Slipshine comics, but they all seem more hardcore/porn focused (though still funny and entertaining).

Olivia is definitely one of the best, I was just talking about the cartoonists. But feel free to post art from the other pin-up artists!

they were doing some Christmas role-play, he was probably giving her head, and their apartment/hotel caught on fire so they had to evacuate as is.

Here's my Sokol original I own. I would say the only market for this type of art is selling zine/self-published books at cons.
Just because there isn't a market doesn't mean it's worthless to study and try to be as good as Cole/Sokol. They're both solid heroes to have.

I highly recommend to check out the good larry games. They are probably the most widely known erotic games that have a broad audience. Also the author shares the same feels as OP:
"While Leisure Suit Larry was one the first humorous games, the late '80s and early '90s were filled with one hilarious release after another: Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, Space Quest, Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle, Sorcerer's Apprentice, and on and on.

"One day, it stopped. Within a year, humor disappeared from gaming. Why?"

So definitely you should take a look at them if you want to tackle the same market. Learn from the ol masters.

Damn that's nice. All I have are some woodcuts and engravings. Really need to add in some shunga but the price has tripled in recent years.
>>
>>2771398
Yeah, I had to curb that bad habit of spending money on original art. I now try to save more money for me to take time off and work on my own projects.
>>
>>2771346
This one is pretty, reminds me of Fantasia or something. What medium are these?
>>
>>2771401
It's so easy to spend money you shouldn't on art you love. If I knew moon, I would hit up this one doujin artist for one of his sketchbooks.

>>2771406
His influence was actually Whitney Darrow Jr (and later Searle). Look at the Darrow's sketches of women in the Famous Artist's Illustration course.
I'm the guy who owns the original and it looks like a mix of watercolor dyes, gouache, and ink or thin acrylic for outlining/signature.

Never heard of any of these guys but I really like this one's style, it's twisted but still really endearing. I wanna recreate these looks cause they're so lost nowadays at least from what I've seen.

Thanks for the info

Definitely, there's a market for it. Almost every lewd artist is doing hardcore fetish stuff, leaving the pinup market kinda up for grabs. My personal art is pretty fucking shit yet I still garnered myself a decent following with many wanting me to open commissions.

Nick Swift is primarily a pinup artist, he dabbles in softcore(?) porn I think too, but he's a personal favorite of mine as far as that goes. There's also Bill Presing, Shane Glines and Bruce Timm.

Hell, most fan artists are defacto pinup artists nigga.
