Yes, I have two friends who don't do NSFW at all and they are so super popular

Good to know! ^^

I believe the answer is yes. It's just far far far harder to do. But that's just more reason to do full SFW right? >:D

Ahaha I guess so :'D I have no interest in NSFW which is why I asked, so I guess that's how I'm going to have to do it!

I think it's possible but it probably does depend on your audience. From what I've seen, though, I think your art is for sure unique enough in its style to stand out regardless of it being nsfw or not.

Aww thank you! <3 Sometimes I feel like my style isn't one that's very 'in demand' in the fandom haha, at least not right now.

Yep! I follow a few artists that are successful and only do SFW art!
(Some of them started with NSFW, didnt feel comfy so they stopped, but the coms still kept rolling in!)
I also have a friend who's only done SFW (I dont think gore counts in this since you are probably referring to the porn side of NSFW right?) work and hes pretty successful too!

That's good to know, thank you! I'm mostly referring to the sexual stuff--I've never tried anything too violent either but I don't think I'd be very good at it :P

It definitely happens, it just seems to potentially be harder to get started in making money and getting noticed. But once you're well known, you may actually appeal to a wider audience, especially if you also do feral work.

Cool, thank you for your input!

Absolutely it's possible. For a while I was strictly a SFW-only artist though I do draw NSFW pin-ups and refs now too. I was warned that it might make it more difficult to do art full-time if I only drew SFW, but to be honest it didn't really make that big of a difference! Sure, it might limit your potential customers, but there's still a lot of people who enjoy or prefer SFW art.

I think there is a lot of difficulty if you build an audience who prefers NSFW content then swap to drawing SFW - if you just stick to your preference of SFW, I think it'll work out better in the long term and you will be happier and more successful for it.

You absolutely have the skill to become a full-time SFW furry artist if that's what your goal is!

Aww thank you so much for your insight! I really look up to your art so it means a lot <33
