I have some free time at this moment, but I need a kind of steady income to move out and live as a decent human being basically. Should I focus on NSFW art to make money, or my personal art ?
You can't just make money off porn and that's it. You need to build an audience/connections, and that takes time.

Getting part time job and then focusing on your job. Good artists are good because they do what they are interested in and pursue that. Same goes for porn artists, you can tell by looking at porn art that artist loves it (even if he lacks the skill) or it's just a job for him. This is also the reason why d/ic/ks can't sell themselves and hacks like Shadman or worse can.

yea, that's why i'm asking. Should I focus on building a porn audience right now or a SFW audience from my personal art ?
>>3000178
It depends on what you want in the long term. Like I said, it takes a long time. You said you have some free time at the moment, but how much time is that?
One of my good friends decided to switch from SFW to NSFW. They've been doing it for over a year and slowly built their fanbase. Right now they are pretty popular and have a steady flow of commissions. But they also knew very popular people who helped promote them too (think 20k+ followers). They had already made these connections over several years.
Do you have that kind of time to spare?

Can't find any part time job (i tried)
is it good to have a very specified niche for building an audience ? because I don't really like porn in general but there is one thing that turn me on and I enjoy drawing it
>>3000196
Working in caffeteria? Clothes shop? Stacking shelves?
>>3000257
That's shitty jobs for teenagers or losers. I'm above that.
>>3000168
Are you the artist in OP? Don't lie now.
>>3000346
You want to draw (presumably shitty) porn to pay the rent. It's the definition of being a loser.
Drop off your high-horse. Get a part-time job, best if it is light stuff that won't tire you and where you could find people and have downtime when you can draw.
Being a barman or working in jobs I mentioned is good for that. You can always supply your income with art as you get better.
>>3000346
Wow what a dick.
>>3000351
tell me about it, dem areola's are pretty well rendered on the whole
>>3000346
Good luck finding that part time investment banker job, dumbass. Or perhaps you can go and find that part time surgeon position.
>>3000257
Want to say that I'm in this position as well and looking for those jobs. But can't find a fucking thing, every place is infested with mexicans that have been working there for the past 10 years, and will probably continue till they get kicked back over the border.
>>3000346
You sound like my asshole cousin. A job is a job. At least they're making money and here you are broke.
>>3002670
Have you tried going through temp agencies for warehouse and assembly jobs? Also if you have a college degree, leave it off your resume if it won't cause a big employment gap. Jobs like these also want people to stay, and a degree doesn't say that.
>>3000346
>shitty jobs
>I'm above that
>>3000346
Delusion, you are not.
>>3002675
I haven't tried a temp agency, but the jobs they give you are pretty physically demanding, yeah? At least that's what I've heard. I'm not physically cut out for that stuff... super out of shape.
You could say I shouldn't be picky, but fuck, why can't I just get something like stocking shelves for a few months. That's all I need right now.
>>3004057
Man up, faggot.
I went from a chair-ridden chronic masturbator to doing physical labour for 50 hours a week with 0 prep.
First 2 weeks were hell, but then your body gives up and just takes it like a champ. Now it's second nature, I don't even notice working.
It also feels good when you realize you're one of the tough guys now, they no longer give you shit or bullshit tasks and you all laugh as you harass rookies together.
>>3000346
Nice work ethic. I'm sure you're a fantastic artist
>>3004057
Not true. Temp agencies will hire for all kinds of work. And a lot of the assembly jobs are filled by women, and don't require much physical work.
