Do You Respect Me Because I Don't Post Yiff?
14 years ago
Do you guys respect me more because I don't post yiff/porn? I've had this thought lately. If you post yiffy/sexual images you get triple the hits, doesn't matter if its good or not. I just wanted to ask aloud if any of you...I don't want to use the word appreciate but I think I have to, do any of you appreciate me trying to keep it clean?
Yes I have nudes occasionally, and as of lately I've hit a brick wall for art. No Wolf's Den, no WYDS, no nothing, not even sketching.

idc if theres no porn
porn is way over done anyway
you think after a while ppl would get bored of porn but
yeah its kinda BS that even if you try your hardest at drawing you still barely get any favs cuz its not porn related
so annoying

But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate clean art.
If it's well done, I like it.
If it looks like it was scribbled out in MS Paint and no effort was put in, then I don't like it.
Ya like what ya like and ya don't like what ya don't like, end of story.

But I don't respect you less for it either.

I love your dragon work, and Tygar, and Wolf's Den stuff the most of all! No porn there, hahaha! I would get weird fast if you just started poting stuff left and right that was really dirty. Not that I'd object to you doing it, but it would be strange of you, considering your history thus far.

Anyways! I will take that all to heart, I'm just beginning to think I should appreciate you guys more since you've stuck with me thus far. Thanks so much for commenting and being around for me to talk with.

In your case I really respect you for your art, and your comics that have cough my eye, and made me want to read them.
I don't respect people because they draw yiff/porn. I respect out of morals and manners that I've grown up with. :3
So! I respect chu in every way, and don't beat yourself up about if people respect you over yiff, or disrespect you over not drawing it. If I made any sense there at all xD <3

I always live by "Live how I want to be, not what others want me to be" Cause if you try to be, or do something that's not you, then your not going to be happy.
:3
Anyways, thanks again for responding, its always appreciated.

your style really doesn't need the pron-ing some do, you are good enough to make a scene work.
however your choice is ultimately what matters, so ask yourself. "Is this how i can best do it/ get my image across?" or something like that.
I really appreciate that you are a more or less clean artist! Nudes, if done artistically, are what ever in my book, I do them too, and artistic nudes are acceptable to just 90% of the public. But aside from that, we modest artists are few and far between. I have my filters turned on so I don't see when people post mature stuff, but sometimes I turn them off when getting commissions that require me to look at some NSFW refs, and I often forget to change it back so I will see what some of the people I watch post. I've unwatched a few artists cause of this when I see what they draw 90% of the time that I just can't support.
I myself have been tempted with the thought, or just the depression of the fact, that if I want to really make it as popular artist here, I need to add some smut to my gallery. Stuff that people would buy. But I don't. Keep your chin up, us fellow non-yiffs are out here, supporting each other, and in the long run, I think you will gain far more respect from people rather then giving in. Keep it up, I'm watching ;)
Also, you said you hit an art block; SUCK! Something I do some times is I'll look around at other art I really love, and when I see a piece I really like that some one else did, I will try and copy it. The only personal gain I go for in making it is learning how they drew it, the angle of the image and the flow. It's a great way to learn for one, and two, during the time of making it it can spark something and you start branching off with it into your own thing that doesn't look the same anymore.
If I judged you that would make me a hypocrite cause I've done a few yiff drawings myself xD
I like your stories alot and the sweet pictures you make
and seeing how you progress as you keep drawing or writting
it would not make me look down on you but wondering if you did it on your own choice at first, never do something you are very unsure of just to be liked more ok? *hugs*
