If you need some help, I can recommend few artists to reference. And I know I have at least a really really old anatomical study sheet for dolphin bits.

References are always appreciated, thank you :) I received some horse related guides on my Discord that were very helpful, so anything other than that can be put to use!

Here is my really really old guides: https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....Anatomy-Guides

 Redraptor16 is good one for specifically dolphin and dragon type anatomy. Dragon anatomy is of course made up, but usually elements from various species.

For more of a little of everything  Nawka,  Yaroul, and of course  DarkNatasha are also great artists to look through. Nawka and Yaroul will have the widest variety simply from post volume at this point.

 Truegrave9 will be much more canine leaning, but as far as I can tell very very accurate.

I am excited! Can't wait to see examples. Would definitely enjoy another piece down the line

I've already got one completed and queued to post :3 And with the reception I've gotten to the news on Discord, it wont be the last lol

I'll keep my peepers out

I'll keep my peepee out *ducks*

Hmm, I am curious to see how you do! Which, I'm more than sure, that you'll be able to pull off! I can link you a few artists, who have some experience drawing OC's with anatomically correct genitalia, more specifically feline, if you want to maybe reach out for some advice, or tips?

I'm much too shy to directly reach out to anyone like that, but if you know of any study sheets, reference sheets, guides, or tutorials, I'm definitely interested in being linked to them!

Personally I appreciate your willingness to make that change. That's a major factor for me that makes me that much more interested in commissioning more adult-content art from you in the future. Granted it's something I wouldn't abuse or make a habit of focusing on, but it means I wouldn't have to dance around the idea anymore, either. Very good, and I hope this helps you to continue your path of excellence with your art. :)

Well I for one, am excited to see the occasional Ajna horse dingle. Though that may just be the fox in me talking. =P

Only male exotic genitals? If also female, i know some artists that could be used as references

With the amount of times I've been asked to draw female animal genitalia vs male, I didn't feel it worth mentioning, but I will also draw female anatomy of varying types upon request within a commission!

That's awesome to hear! I feel like there's a bit of a double standard around that with female anatomy being more taboo. I wanted to design my female characters that way initially, but didn't feel like I was able to because of the stigma, plus it severely limited who I could commission. I've started to make the change recently though.

That said, I can understand why it makes people uncomfortable, and I think it's important to respect and accommodate other's boundaries. I have to assume the TOS was there for a reason, and I hope the change doesn't make you too uncomfortable, or you feel too pressured to do it

It's not something I enjoy, and I struggled with my personal moral beliefs on the subject for a long time, but after a lot of self-reflection lately, I've decided to stand on the side of keeping fiction separate from reality, where possible. My job as an artist is to do my best to bring other peoples ideas to life in the way that I can, not to judge them. I serve the vision of others. I will say no where it really crosses the line, but for everything else, game on.

That's an awesome attitude to have, and I definitely appreciate it as a commissioner. Just don't be afraid to draw the line where ever your own comfort allows, if you ever feel like you need to reverse the decision. While enjoy more animalistic features on characters in general, I certainly wouldn't want to contribute to a pressure to get people to accept things they aren't comfortable with

Good call.

I understand why some artists don't want to do that, it's a personal decision. But I don't personally see anything wrong with it.

Yay for exotic sausages!
You do exactly whats comfortable to you!

References are always useful to provide, and some of us have a reasonable collection of sketched anatomicals to share. Shouldn't be a hard ask at all for some folk as long as you do like you did here and make your limits known. :)

I appreciate the spirit of stepping outside of your comfort zone to work on more options! It'll likely net more well-meaning customers who've been quite interested in your work.

Good Luck with your new endeavor!

Can I ask what made you decide to join the dark side? :')

A number of things.

I am dealing with a crap load of trauma and mental health problems, including some trauma around sex and porn, and it's something I'm working very, very intently on to try to overcome. One of my biggest obstacles is that I'm extremely avoidant. I avoid anything and everything that makes me uncomfortable, and the problem with that is that it can reinforce the avoidance. If what I'm avoiding is not dangerous or harmful, avoiding it makes me feel "safe", and it reinforces in my mind that what I'm avoiding is bad, scary, or dangerous. It then builds the thing up into a bigger, scarier, more awful thing that I am more and more likely to avoid, and the cycle repeats.

I am demisexual. My sexual attraction to humans is already pretty slim, and my sexual attraction to animals is nonexistent. That is to say, I don't relate to the sexual desires many people have. Without going into detail, I'm not very supportive of sexual contact with real life animals. For too long, I have projected my opinions, on what I find to be or not to be acceptable behavior in real life, onto art. Over time, my disinterest turned to disgust and judgement for others, which is already bad enough, but it continued to evolve into distress for myself. I'd see art of something I did not approve of, and suddenly I'm upset. Over a drawing, that for many people only shows positive feelings.

I'm tired of living this way. People who enjoy art of certain kinks, bodytypes, ages, etc may or may not practice real life behaviors that I do not approve of. The artwork itself is not real life harm. I understand that fiction and reality are very different. I have interests in art and stories that I would find to be abhorrent if done in real life. So, I need to be realistic. I need to distance myself from people who cause real harm, and I need to stop distancing myself from art. I don't have to like it, but I want to be able to tolerate it. I want to be able to stumble across content that I am not personally interested in without it offending me or affecting my mood.

I've been doing a lot of work in my personal life to stop, or limit, how much I avoid things that aren't truly harmful. Every time I say no to a client asking for something, I ask myself if it's worth it. I have been considering it for many months now. If I continue to say no, I'm disappointing clients, making less money, and feeding into my avoidance. If I change the policy, I am making more money, making clients happy, and practicing non-avoidance, with the only risk being alienating my watchers who don't approve. A risk I'm willing to take, if it ends up with me being more emotionally comfortable in the long term.

I'm already not sexually attracted to the artwork I make. I try to do what I can to make art that my clients will enjoy, not what I enjoy, so I might as well expand my horizons. It's a net positive

A very interesting read and weirdly inspiring! (Weird because of the subject, of course -- lmao)
More interested to see how this decision reflects on future commissions as well!
I sincerely hope the transition is smooth for you.
