General
So journals are always an imposing sort of thing to me, especially on places like this, because I prefer my artwork to do most of the talking. Also, I have had past experiences dating all the way back to livejournal (see how many of you know what THAT is) where I've poured my heart out and really only gotten responses from the friends that have talked to me directly. HOWEVER: robo-shark told me now a lot of people on this particular site are actually genuinely interested in the people and the creative, original characters they create; which I think is really cool!
I was on DA for awhile and knew that there fanart reigns supreme, so I created a lot of mlp art. I have my own style and got kinda booed and denied from a lot of groups for not using "show accurate colors" and "show accurate art." WHAT IS THE POINT OF MAKING SOMETHING NEW IF IT LOOKS JUST LIKE THE SHOW?! There were people that were supportive of my stuff (I even had Peter New, the voice of Big Mac, put my art on his facebook profile page!), but there was also the issue of DA stealing people's art and putting it on merch without permission or artist profit that really grossed me out. So here I am!
So as a lot of you know, I like drawing Baby Fur art! Mainly because I like drawing cute things and prefer to usually take a more innocent side to my art. That doesn't mean I don't like drawing nudity, I guess I could say that I see nudity in a very European fashion in that I find it very natural, beautiful, and non-offensive. I know that a lot of people don't feel that way, which is why I pose this question: I have some adult characters I have come up with (a manticore and a sphinx) that I would like to post here. I kinda planned them to be a couple doing coupley things that might contain nudity, but no outright explicit scenes. Should I create a separate account for such characters? I also want to do fight scenes because they are artistically challenging, but I am also not into excessive gore. Should that also be on a separate account or can I just keep it all here under different folders?
If you have read this far, thank you! And your feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Well I can safely assume you the people here in FurAffinity are better than on DeviantArt :) On the talk of multiple accounts, I heard people tend to seperate their mature/adult stuffs from their general works; I do too :P But some themes can do without need of seperation; I post gory stuffs on my main account with the babyfur stuffs X3 Still, it's entirely up to you~

OP
The only reason I am a little questionable about it is that I want to do serious commission work. I know some people are a little touchy about letting their interests cross.

I had seen Poofy-Shark posting a few NSFW pics along with his diaper pics ^^; It depends on the preferences of your audience, if they're fine with it, you can cross these interests. Otherwise, you can always seperate them to get two different audiences :3

Well I can't say for sure how people here compared to DA, but I think we are a lot more open and willing to help. And there are some of us who are always willing to talk to see if we can't help you to improve. But yeah don't worry about posting things other than one thing people will like it even if it's not something they expect.
