Selling out, and so much for the golden rule
19 years ago
You know what they say, "sex sells," though I'm not really talking about selling in the literal sense. So far even my yiffy art has been very tame, and I think that's part of why I've never had more than 4 people comment on one of my pictures. I'm jealous of the people who have a huge crowd drooling over everything they submit.
Therefore I'm "selling out," in the sense that I'm going to start drawing a lot more explicit pictures to try to get attention.
--Also--
I'm almost always a follower of the Golden Rule; do unto others as you would have them do unto you. So, when I was disappointed that I never get any gift art or free stuff drawn for me, I started drawing things for other people. My last 4 pictures (and my best so far) have all been for other people.
Sadly, though the Golden Rule is nice in principle it doesn't get results very often.
Sorry to grumble and whine, but ... this is what "journal"s are for.

But year, draw porn if you want to, but don't do it for attention. Seriously.
In ime, shit'll happen. Just do the best you can do.
lol Well, uhh, I reckon a pic of Nikki (Lick It UP/ She Just Loves The Feel... etc)?
P.S.:Would you pwease wead my storwee? *gives sad-puppy look*
Yeah, that's what I've been contemplating doing too, sadly. Or at least to a minimal degree. I've been a furry since the age of ten, and in the "fandom" (or at least, on various art galleries - TLK Fanart Archive, Side7, DeviantART, and now here) since about the age of fourteen, and four years later, still nobody gives a rat's ass about my art - except when I draw something disturbed, violent, or sexy/explicit. Dammit. XD So; I'm with ya, brother. I feel the pain.
The only flip side is... selling out here is the opposite of the selling out I SHOULD be doing, to the "artsy", expressive, abstract non-furry shit that I ought to be generating for my portfolio to show to art schools when I apply this fall. Hmm. Oh well, can't please everybody. D:
