A Question Concerning NSFW Drawings
12 years ago
So I have been getting quiet a few mature or adult commission jobs, and though I have not been uploading them to my gallery I was wondering if I should start doing that?
The concern I have is that I'm worried that if I start doing that people may think that my Raven Wolf comic will have NSFW content in it, and may become disappointed to find none of that when they read through it. This problem perhaps doubling via the commissions that have been requested that even feature characters from Raven Wolf.
I thought over the idea of making another account as to keep this one PG, but I'm not sure if I want to go through the trouble of trying to handle two accounts in each of my galleries. (this would really only affect inkbunny, sofurry, furaffinity maybe weasly. As they are the only sites where I actually get NSFW commissions from, plus I wanna keep my dA clean as that's the one my mom likes to follow my work on) and add all that up and well, it just seems like a lot of unnecessary work.
Anyway, opinions or suggestions on the matter?

None too sure about moving them all to the scraps section, if I in the end decide to upload them then I will upload them as they are few and far between anyway.
As for people thinking your comic might be NSFW and become disappointed, that's their problem really.
It's free content, so there's not much room to gripe. If they want porn instead there's plenty of that elsenet.
The internet really doesn't NEED more NSFW content, specially on sites like furaffinity haha. So it's no big loss to the world if I did not post it. It's just these commissions do indeed take up a lot of work and time, so it's not very fair to me to force myself to disregard the work I've put into it by not posting it. My NSFW images are few and far between though so there should be no worries about it over taking my gallery, like I said my biggest concern is that I hope people do not start expecting me to start only uploading NSFW stuffs or to suddenly change my series to a NSFW title.
Just basically and easy way of labelling a naughty image or link (usually involving nudity) so it's not accidentally opened in a public place, like work where you could lose your job.
Hope that helps clear things up for you.
But what would be best for the artist? If you are wanting to keep Raven Wolf clean then you might not want it associated with NSFW drawings. It is your reputation that must be considered.
Another consideration is have Raven Wolf on a separate account.
Good because I would no longer be spending my time working for hours on a commission that I would not be able to upload to my own gallery cause I want to make sure people understand that my comic is clean.
Bad because I don't want my series to be confused as an adult one.
The commissions in question would only but uploaded to my anthro oriented artsites. My dA, mangamagazine and other sites that host my comic will not be getting them, as those are purely dedicated to the comic. (and my mom watches my dA account, and though she doesn't have a problem with me drawing NSFW pictures the idea that she might be looking at it is still weird to me O_O)
In respect though, I would say to make a separate account for that and let it be unadvertised, so only the hard cores should ask you. You have a lot of "Normal" comic fans that don't need that information. And just an FYI,,, Quadruple your prices for commissions of such art.
Cheers.
P.S. I simply adore your work. ^^
