18+ Art on DEVIANTART!?!?

Email: vicekillx@gmail.com It's no secret that I'm primarily a porn artist. Tbh, that's probably a large part of the reason I haven't invested too much time in DA thus far.
But, new TOS guidelines mean that's about to change! I've gone ahead and made two new galleries for NSFW content. At the time of this journal, they're priced at $2US each (or whatever the equivalent in points is), and afaik, it's a one-time payment that will grant access to those galleries for as long as your account is active and said galleries are up.
I don't super love the idea of hiding my 18+ art behind a paywall, but the new guidelines require it in order to post it at all. And in a world where every major social media platform has banned it outright (except for twitter, and even that one is tenuous at best) and many others are increasingly less tolerant of certain themes, I will happily accept charging a small fee if it means an art platform titan like Deviantart will loosen its restrictions rather than tighten them. Like...seriously, that is unprecedented. I hope it paves the way for other sites to do the same.
Anywho, I can still technically make the charge optional with a workaround. If you want to see my adult art for free, you still can on Twitter and FurAffinity I'm most active (and interactive) on Twitter, but it's not great for organizing or finding older art, and things might get lost in your feed if you don't have push notifs turned on. I still post regularly here (obviously) but don't interact as much; it has better organization and archiving, but I don't post as many sketches or WIPs here. And of course, there's always my website, but this is a curated portfolio rather than a full gallery, and doesn't allow for comments, likes, shares, etc.
Ultimately, the $2 charge can either be just a convenience fee for those who don't have accounts on those sites or just don't want to switch, or just a way to show your support and appreciation. If you want to do the latter but more than $2-4, or want a bunch of actually exclusive content in exchange, you can always support me on SubscribeStar <3
These are the new galleries:
Spicy 18+ (finished pieces)
Spicy 18+ Sketches
Happy oggling <3

Whoah, well hell, that's a huge change!

~fr0stbit3
Isn’t there a restriction to how spicy the content can be?
Embyr
~sugar.rush
Yes-- it still says not to post full on sex
Fr0stbit3
~fr0stbit3
So basically the same restrictions as before but now we can post boners
Embyr
~sugar.rush
That's how I understood their very hard to find terms, yes
VicekillX
~spartadog
OP
No, you are allowed to post sex as long as a) it is drawn/sculpted/etc and not photography of real people, b) it is in a paid gallery, and c) it follows their other content guidelines re: certain themes/kinks. TOS is here
Embyr
~sugar.rush
Wow, I feel dumb. I looked everywhere for that when I saw they uplifted their guidlines for posting things. I may have missed that entirely!
VicekillX
~spartadog
OP
Hahah no worries!

Pretty sure it's just for Core members though so I'm not paying it much mind.
VicekillX
~spartadog
OP
I dunno about the customer side of things but I was already paying for Core for all the other features anyway, so no skin off my back
OniVrask
~onivrask
Ah, I was thinking for the artist, pretty sure the features are unavailable for me, but it's cool.

I think some kind of payment is needed in order to post porn. Or some shit.
VicekillX
~spartadog
OP
You need a Core account which is like $4/mo and comes with a million other features I was already using. Still a win in my book

Really now? *rubs chin*

Interesting, I haven't thought of DA in like 10 years, but just the possibility is a game changer.

They don't allow incest still so that's a complete no go for me then
VicekillX
~spartadog
OP
Yeah I can't post everything there either but the fact that I can post *any* of it is a huge deal
I too was floored to see they're allowing it esp through a paywall, at least it gives people the option to earn some dosh while offering adult content.

~spartadog
OP
hell yeah, i'll take it lol. i think they're using the paywall as a secondary measure to keep minors out. dunno how effective it'll be, but that's what they seem to be going for
yeah we'll see Lmao

Wow I didn't see this coming. I'll have to dust off my DA account sometime and check it out!
