Should I Shift Away From SFM
a year ago
Now this may come as a bit of a surprise to you all who follow me for SFM content as that's been my thing for the past 10 years. I was, and have been, pushing for more SFM content on this site even before it was allowed.
However, things sadly change. With the lack of new IPs, modelers, maps, and unique ways of making posters or animations that don't feel like a rehash of something done before, it's getting harder to come up with a new idea, let alone find any motivation. Not to mention the lack of feedback when it comes to what everyone wants or likes. Sure, favoriting a post can get me a general idea of what you guys want, but really what that tells me is you only like a pic because it has diapers in it, even more if it is a messy diaper pic, and yet very little on constructive criticism or on how the pic looks.

These are just a few examples from my gallery of what I mean. There is a certain pattern in that no matter what is posted, unless it has messy diapers in it, then everyone's gonna like it.
Now does that mean I don't want you to like messy diapers? No. If it's your fetish then you do you. But from my perspective, if what everyone expects to get just messy diapers, then what's the difference from what I make compared to whatever Stable Diffusion, NovelAI, or any AI can spit out?
The other reason for my consideration has to do with those who make models for SFM. As you can guess, the kind of content I'm known for is frowned upon by many and, while I've done other fetishes out there, most people don't want any association, regardless of intentions. This means that some will go out of their way to make sure resources are limited by either out right banning or pay-walling their work to prevent any use, but only to their close associates or otherwise. Not only that, but they may even refuse to accept a commission or gatekeep from those who may be more open.
TLDR: Models are extremely low and finding any is like finding water in the desert.
This is why I'm considering letting the SFM well refill with, hopefully, more things I can use to make posters and animations with. However, if you noticed in my list above, you'll see that I included a non-SFM set of pics. That was intentional because, like the messy diapers, most of my drawn artwork gets overlooked or gets no attention, again with the lack of criticism. I would definitely like to improve my drawing skills and put more effort into it, and it's less restrictive on content than SFM, but it's very unmotivating when views of a pic barley make it to 100.
But that's just my thinking, and I'd rather not change lanes without solid advice from you guys. So, what do you think? Should I put more focus on my drawing skills, or just keep trying to work at making SFM content? Let me know in the comments.
Thank you.

Thank you.
But you could also try non-SFM modeling as well.
