Is THIS why I do all this commissioning?

Just found this the other night before my B-day and I chuckled in a good way.
"Initially I thought the guy was really way too obsessed with this character of his that he'd spend a (assumably) sizeable portion of his income on porn. Circumstances have changed since then, and while I don't particularly think it's NOT weird, I've come to a certain appreciation for it.
Because, really, how important is that portion of his income to him? While others might spend a far greater sum on cars, or instruments, or plastic crack, this man's hobby is immortality itself. To be remembered by a truly staggering number of people - potentially for years after he has moved on - through this character of his is perhaps similar to ascention to the ranks of the greco-roman demi-gods. For years to come, innumerable people will bring themselves to climax to the depiction of this character; a manifestation of a man's imagination and thousands of years of evolutionary training put to ink on the greatest communications medium mankind has ever seen. Perhaps not directly will he be rewarded for his contribution to mankind, but in every "That's hot", each "I came buckets" and all the "Moar plox"s, a fragment of this man's mind - the pure essence of humanity that makes them masters of their world - will live on not only in his own being but in that of countless others'. And can we truly regard this man with pity or scorn? This man who has ensured his own legacy with but the merest of currency exchanges?
That, or he has a bit of leftover dosh sometimes and figures fuel for a pleasurable experience is a good enough purchase, especially if it's of a now-popular character of his creation which has a pretty pleasing aesthetic. But really, even if it's an incredible design the likes of which the world has never seen before, there's few people who will devote their own resources for another person's creation, so I guess it's not surprising it's just this one guy doing most of the commissioning."
So here is my responses.
No I don't do this for immortality, I do this cause I LOVE hentai art. I've seen all kinds of artists and I wish to obtain all kinds of pieces from them of my hedonistic brain children. I am a man that love huge breasts, curvy women, and cow girls(thanks alot japan). Also milfs, love milfs, can't have enough room in my external to keep it all.
Also the money I spend on this should never be put into question, for any person who commissions art from artists. Be happy there are people who spend money on the content that if not thousands hundreds of thousands wank off to. But if you really wish to know how I gets money.
I sell rocks to the community.

*Shrugs* Your money and your spending it how you want.
Don't be a dummy, Take the money!
I am in the same boat, using a portion of my money on commissions and I do it mostly for the same reason as you, to get amazing artwork from awesome artists... it gives somehow a rush to me and I really enjoy seeing my characters in different artstyles.
