A Call to the (Sonic) Fandom
15 years ago
The following is an important announcement:
Allow me to point out the obvious:
There are a ton of Sonic fans on this site.
Allow me to point out even more obvious:
Many people seem to think this site is a porn site.
Allow me to point out the most obvious point, more obvious than the previous point:
MOST SONIC FANS IN GENERAL CANNOT TAKE CRITICISM OF THEIR WORKS.
Seriously. There are popular artists on here that are happy when everyone is praising them, but if they get one or two bad reviews on some work, they go batshit ballistic crazy. They change their entire scope of work to "get back at" the people that gave them the bad review, and it's fucking stupid.
I'm not stupid enough to claim that the entire Sonic fandom does this. That would be like me claiming that the entire furry fandom likes to shit in their fursuits at furry conventions as opposed to going to the bathroom in the correct facility.
If you have a lot of watchers on this site, and you don't draw porn just once, you're liable to get a bad review from the pornmongers. There is a difference between "Yaaaar, your art is terrible, there's no boobs in it," and "You need some work with body structure and shape." There's a difference between "Your character is just a fucking recolor, boo," and "It might help to give your character some more defining features so it doesn't just look like a recolored [insert character here]."
I say this to everyone, I'm gonna say it again: draw because you want to draw, and not because you're looking for fans. You can't please everyone, and to try is going to drive you insane.
The majority of the popular artists on this site are popular because they draw, or have drawn, naked boobs, cocks and pussies. But I know many of them would prefer to not have to cater to their fans for fear of getting their art flooded by negative "WE WANT BOOBS!" reviews.
The artists that aren't popular here rarely have porn in their gallery. See the correlation? People come here looking for fap fuel. You'll be popular if you draw porn. But if you stop drawing porn once you're popular, you'll get booed out for it.
And the fans of Sonic artists that do Sonic porn are the worst. They feel they're entitled to the porn because they've "stuck with this horrible series" and don't have to work for it.
This is why all the decent Sonic fans are disappearing.
