I really don't understand why they keep up multiple art gallery sites but don't update them all equally.

And no, it's not because of some content being against the rules on specific art sites.

>>8089606
I do that because different sites have different retarded rules.

>>8089936
I've seen artists that do it with content that doesn't violate site rules.

Badgerben does it; he draws tons of stuff and then just never posts it to any of his accounts, or if he does post it, he posts it like a fucking year after he drew it, so I have to search around FA and other furry sites, coming across things that the commissioner uploaded, but Ben never uploaded.

>>8089936
Even so, if the thing you're trying to post violates the site's rule, the least you could do is post some kind of notification about it, so that people don't have to follow you across multiple sites just to keep track of all your art.

So? If the commissioner doesn't want their commission to be posted to public then it's their right to do so since it's their money, not yours.

You sound like a fucking freeloader that always stealing food from the fridge even when you don't pay the fucking rent.

Heh,

I'm not the guy you asking for but I did some commissions that I kept for myself. One is the logo for my previous business attempt and the other is the artwork for my own story.

Not everyone has the time or ability to take commissions. If we wanted to, we fucking would. Sometimes we just want to draw shit and be left alone because we have jobs and other things we like doing too and would prefer not having ways to trace it all back to us.

So yes it's too fucking "hard to asked" or whatever the hell you were trying to pass off as English there.

>>8119322
what if you lose your job? you can always fall back on commissions

>>8119374
If I lose my job I'm going to get another job. That's what people do.

I'm also not going to lose my job because my job is fucking secure and I'm good at it. Dreaming up a hypothetical worst case scenario isn't going to make me draw porn for you, and you probably have a shitty idea anyway.

I do this with my work.
I do it because I have one account that i show to puritanical family and friends that ask, "Oh, you do art?"
And then I have a different account that I don't advertise to anyone outside of the community that doesn't bat an eye at sexualized lizard people.

It's possible to make minimum wage with commissions, but you need to study and practice for years, and network / whore yourself out to gain followers, which inevitably results in your name being dragged through the mud because someone's furious you didn't refund them after you didn't draw enough toe rings.

>>8093452

o-okay

I try to keep all my smut on my tumblr but some of it has been inexplicably deleted, so I use e621 as a backup. I think I should just switch to inkbunny or something, tumblr isn't the best site for art (aside from exposure)

>>8120286
Well that's how you know they're ashamed of the piece and are hating themselves for working for you. Relish that feeling.

Is there a reason why artists and commissioners are such pussies? Specifically furry ones.

>tfw want to make murrsona and commission stuff but I don't want to message an artist and have them roll their eyes thinking "oh God, here we go again"
Oh well. I can at least still fap to their stuff from a safe distance

>>8120338
Because their real names always end up online, sooner or later.

Post your name and address and ask again.

>>8120719
So?

>>8120691
desu so long as you act like a reasonable person most artists aren't going to think "here we go again", they're going to think "oh cool, money".

I mean some of them will do that but who cares, they're autistic prima donnas. Just move on and give your money to someone who is more deserving of it

>>8120338
depends on what you mean by "are such pussies"

>>8120742
I notice you didn't post your real name and address :^)

>>8120753
>depends on what you mean by "are such pussies"
People who get super upset if someone says anything negative about their art and tries to hide their work even though they could just focus on the people that like it instead of negativity. Always making "omg im so depressed" posts. Putting themselves on blacklists for sites like e621. Stuff like that.

>>8120758
but i still post my art online.

>>8120786
>super upset if someone says anything negative about their art
you gotta roll with the punches but I guess it's easy to take it personally, especially when it's not constructive criticism and just outright vitriol

>tries to hide their work
I dunno but then again the majority of what I draw doesn't get posted online or even shown to other people... but I don't post it in the first place. repeatedly deleting your gallery just seems silly and melodramatic on the other hand

>they could just focus on the people that like it instead of negativity
more people should do this, yeah. I think sometimes it isn't easy though

>Always making "omg im so depressed" posts.
I assume most of the time it's just attention-seeking, although maybe in some cases it's a genuine cry for help

>blacklists for sites like e621
probably mostly an economic thing, they want people to pay for access. Not sure that blacklists actually help them there though, especially since sites like e621 are probably a good source of publicity

>>8120799

>>8089311

So what

>>8122187
No offense but if one freely partakes in drawing weird shit without being commissioned to do so, I fail to see how the commissions for slightly different weird shit makes things any worse.

>>8124765
are you just stupid or have you not read any of the thread

taking commissions means there's a possibility to link the art to your real name

>>8089311
My biggest annoyance is simply
>Artist deletes gallery
Just why. It's even worse when smut authors to it because most people at least save some art but no one saves the stories. They get forgotten forever and it's literally impossible to find them ever again. Fucking sucks so much

>>8125055
The majority of artists on FA tend to be VERY leftist, so I don't quite understand why people knowing you're into 'degenerate' fetishes matters to them. Isn't tolerance of alternative lifestyles their whole shtick?

>>8128427
I think that stems from the fact that furrys are disproportionately gay or bi. Though in recent dates I've noticed a number of moderate, skeptic, or even relatively conservative furs popping up.
This is all I will say on the matter, as I loath to talk about politics.

>>8128427
Tolerance has been passe for a long time now, anon. Tolerance implies a lack of acceptance, which is unacceptable. You must embrace and accept all lifestyle choices that right thinking people approve of, and reject all those they don't.

>>8126966
>Just why
Sometimes knowing the reason just makes things worse. For example, from a long-ago deleted loli vore artist:
>I deleted my account because it was tied to my real email address/identity and I'm applying for real graphic design jobs now
>Also I was never into vore or loli anyway, I just drew this stuff as an experiment.

It didn't feel good to find out that my fap material was provided by a willfully delusional retard. I'd have rather he went full on evangelical than that.

>>8128427
We're talking about places of employment you dipshit. They do online research about you, which is why you're encouraged not to put stupid shit on your Facebook.

Ideally just don't have a Facebook at all, it's a garbage site.

>>8122187
Nice projection. But I haven't had any problems at the workplace because of drawing smut. What are you smoking?

>>8125055

Apparently I'm the stupid one for assuming it's common sense to maintain anonymous internet accounts

Then again I'm old enough to remember "never put your real name on the internet" as opposed to eight year olds linking everything with their Facebook page with all their personal info on display

>>8128770
>I was never into vore or loli anyway, I just drew this stuff as an experiment.
I've never seen anyone use the "it was all just a social experiment" line with regards to their art gallery before.

>>8128770
Why does that make things worse? People know the real reason now and understand the situation.

>>8132322
>They're youtubers

>>8120286
>Commission a series of pics under a codename

>>8134112

>>8132497

>>8139678

>>8139752
uh....both? I just want it to look pretty. I would imagine a detailed physical description is all you need.

>>8138292
>It helps that I tend to be a little bit on the nonspecific side with what I want, and am super easy to please.

You done tooting your horn, mate?

Besides that, aren't commissions ALLOWED to be specific unlike requests?

I diligently give some artists visual guidelines/notes of what and what not to do myself. The only way they would fail at what I want is if they suck at drawing feet or they're retarded.

Clients are allowed to have principles when money's involved.

>>8139774
Depends on the Artist.
Some can convey things beyond a physical description in a way that's hard to replicate. More info is always better.

>>8119612

That's why you don't draw anything for under 70$
I've noticed that when you place your prices near 100$ or above it, you get far more level headed people to work with.
When you move in the sub 50$ category, you get all kinds of autismal people buying things with their neetbux.
It's better to just flat out cut those people off the potential buyers list and work with people who are either well off or who have a job.

>>8137707
That reply was to people talking about things from the artists' end, you twit. Paypal isn't a necessity if an artist wants to take commissions, they can remain anonymous.

>>8139599
At least I have proper replies rather than just using nigger. This is not 2008, even 4channers are bored with that word.

>>8140050

>>8140195
>Calling someone a bitch
>proper reply

>>8140200

The point is that people who have a lot of money to blow on commissions on a routine basis, are a lot easier to work with.
Your friend might want to scrape the bottom of the barrel and commission not so good artists or try and search for a good artist who undercuts his prices like crazy, but plenty of commissioners with money don't do that.
If you're even half decent artist, there's big enough of a market out there to keep you occupied 24/7 when you move in triple digits.

>>8135743
Actually, it doesn't. You can use whatever fake name you want, all they care about is your routing number. And someone sending money to you should never be able to even see the name you registered a Paypal account with, unless you're a seller and you have a merchant account/donation button. You can also just use a fucking Bitcoin payment processor if you're that paranoid, or don't link a bank account to your Paypal balance in the first place.

I'm guessing the issue here is that you literally ask for commission payments to be sent to [email protected]. Or the fact that you're trying to sell commissions in the first place, it's a horrible and unsustainable business model that fucks over both you and the people viewing your art.

>>8140012
>Clients are allowed to have principles when money's involved.
And the artists are allowed to decline your commission nevertheless if they don't like it

>>8140617
Yeah but not for being specific more for content.

However as a precedent, if an artist had no problems drawing said material before then the problem on the client's end is the inconsistency if not the artist's avoidant behavior.

>>8089311
That's me. It's too specifically niche, it usually attracts more trouble than it's worth. I'd rather add fans to a discord and just draw privately. But nothing fills the void of no one else drawing it like I do.

And you're expecting me to price my art even higher? Just because I'm an artist doesn't mean I get a millions commissions.

>>8151570
3 weeks after I started using my FA as a gallery I got the first person asking if I do commissions at all. I only do requests, so I decline every commission, but maybe your gallery just lacks some more drawings or you need to git better.

>>8152021
https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/stardrgn/
Here's my furaffinity, I think my main problem is not posting enough art, as well as the fact that half of my drawings are only half-par

>>8152059
I also think you'd get commissions if you drew digitally.

>>8152267
But I'm bad at drawing digitally, not only does my digital art look bad but it's also easier for me to draw traditionally
>practice
I know that I should just practice but I get really impatient with it because my drawings suck and it is more time consuming than my traditional art

>>8152059
I'm >>8151570 and here's mine https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/leepus/
Of course you can draw traditionally, there are even people who prefer that. But you NEED to post regularly if you want to get popular. Quality isn't even the most important thing, just post something every couple days until enough people found your stuff.
Don't focus too hard on getting commissions, just draw what you like and post it. Eventually you'll have enough watchers to get commissions.
Also it helps to post you stuff when many people are online.

>I know that I should just practice but I get really impatient with it
I know that feel very well

>>8152353
I'd say get a tablet, but you'd need to do a lot of $5 commissions to pay for one of those

>>8152532
>Quality isn't even the most important thing
So I should just post every time I draw something instead of feeling the need to only post "finished" stuff?

>>8152641
Just dumping your gallery with sketches will certainly get you more page visits, but it also sets the expectations of people low and they won't pay high prices if they commission you.
I don't know how much time it takes you to "complete" a picture, but I'd say that a full colored and shaded drawing is worth less than 2 or 3 inked linearts.

I spent a lot of nights searching Yahoo and later Google for pretty much zil to nilch and kept on searching in hopes things would be different.

I also rememeber searching art sites like Side7 and Elfwood.

Oddly enough, all fetish material aside, I'm kicking myself for not saving this one pic of someone's OC on Elfwood. It was some 90s-esque anime private investigator. and remember the artist commenting on how much they struggled with trying to get her feet looking right. That shit made my 13 year old dick diamonds back in the day

Hell, Deviantart even had some dignity too.

I just setup a tumblr that acts as a gallery for people that ask. And what I draw doesn't mostly revolve around one particular thing, so I don't expect people to stick around for what they like. But now I feel obligated to work on stuff to post every once in a while. And would rather not shill my stuff unless its absolutely related, then otherwise I would post it once and avoid reposting it in the following threads of the same topic

Paul Richards. Unfortunately, his tumblr doesn't have purely text posts anywhere on it anymore, so that last bit is effectively just hearsay. He didn't have a big, public meltdown or anything, but the dude is pretty often a proper cunt about drawing porn.

>>8089311
Ha. This is literally me.
People ask me if I have a tumblr or a site to follow and I always tell them "Afraid not, m8".
I've thought about making a tumblr but I most likely won't do it.
I feel like it'll attract too much attention.

>>8156438

They know your name, you know theirs. Now you both get to take it to the grave.

>>8156657

Don't do it, anon. Having a tumblr is a tiresome pain in the ass. For every one person who's maybe sometimes kind of a fun chat/art buddy once in a while, there's literally thousands of beggars and whiners who have nothing better to do but constantly pester you to draw the newest popular character from the newest popular thing, wearing the newest popular "sexy clothing" meme shit. Or maybe they want to tell you your art is shit and expound on exactly how you should kill yourself. Or hey, perhaps they think your art is the best they've ever seen, ever, in their entire short life, and they want you to know if you ever stop drawing they're going to kill themselves. Sometimes they'll try to roleplay with you, or (even worse) they'll try to roleplay with the art you post.

But if you disable too many ways for people to communicate with you because holy shit, dealing with tumblr users is just so fucking draining, then everybody gets shitty about it. Now they all think you're being rude, just because you don't want to be friends with the people who masturbate to the porn you draw.

I really should delete the damn thing.

>>8154671
Just make a new secondary Paypal account with fake name and then transfer your money to your main account.

>>8156882
No need to delete it. Just quit using if you don't want to anymore.

How does that shit you mentioned even happen in the first place?
I mean you'd have to write a lot of triggering text posts or something, draw fanart of shows with retarded fanbases like Steven Universe or Sonic to attract the morons..
Even then, the whole comment system is shit and practically out of sight and out of mind.
Simply don't engage with people in any way and you're good.

>>8156882
I don't understand how that's draining. It's not like you have to respond to people who are beggars or people who call your art shit, and RPs.

>>8156882
I'm getting pretty noticed on Tumblr but none of that has ever happened to me yet. I have some strange asks sometimes but i just ignore them

>>8164582
I was joking, I was a different anon and I said that to point out the absurdity of worrying about people knowing you draw porn. Hell, even if you work in an art company, most other artists started off drawing porn, like the guy who made astro boy

>>8164974
They only found that out years after he died because he kept it so secret, though.

not that specifically, just the idea that someone should stick to their blood relations no matter what they might think of them is just shitty. it's not an honest relationship.

>>8168314
well sure, there are extreme situations in which the best option is to abandon your family, sadly

I don't think a dispute over porn is such a situation though

>>8168459
Why would it be that serious in the first place?

>>8168490
I'm not sure what you're asking, my point was that your family going "it's disgusting that you draw porn and we want you to stop it" isn't serious/extreme enough to warrant abandoning them

>>8168611
It's also not worth getting not drawing pron over.

>>8168643
I disagree, if drawing porn meant that I wouldn't get along with my family I'd drop the porn in a heartbeat, or at the very least stop putting it on the internet

>>8169214
The real question is how does the situation arise in the first place. People have already posted how to use Paypal anonymously, how to avoid using paypal, etc.

There's no reason for anyone to find out who you are, let alone friends & family. Unless of course your friends/family are jerking off to your pictures and recognize your style/handwriting.

>>8164727
Iran is not as sheltered as north Korea y'know. They still go around the world except North America

>>8166071
Actually drawing smut still affect a lot. Employers will judge you from your background and no one want to employ a potential creep to ruin the office dynamic.

If you ACTUALLY work in actual desk job you will know this

>>8166351
Not every artist looking for job in animation industry tho. Most of them just want normal desk job. Just because someone is good at drawing doesn't mean they only good at it.

>>8166922

>>8180399
How?

>>8180352
That's the point. You don't want people to know you're a furry.
That's why it sucks that it's very difficult for a furry artist to stay anonymous. It's perhaps possible if you do everything right, but it's tough to be sure you've set your paypal up right, given no hints, etc.

One time, somebody figured out who I was based on my IRC connection info, some complaints I made about schoolwork, and my birth date. I thought I was being careful, but it wasn't good enough.

As long as you're unpopular, it's not a problem. But if you try to self-promote enough to actually earn money from commissions, you'll make enemies.

>>8180687
>But if you try to self-promote enough to actually earn money from commissions, you'll make enemies.
Many popular porn artists have no issue doing this.

>>8180687
Truth. And all it takes is one self important autist to do it.

Maybe they have a bug up their ass about the way you draw things, or don't like that you won't draw certain things, or did some fucking thing that prodded their autism in the wrong way, but once that happens these jobless leeching fucks will spend every waking moment trying to find out who the fuck you are so they can make shit difficult for you.
