It was kind of surprising, but who is offended by stuff on FA any more? haha

The staff <>

I'd say that's an appropriate solution.

Well, it was shocking but you're doing what you were commissioned to do. I see no issue here

It's 2016. People on the internet are offended about everything, especially when it's their own fault they were exposed to it.

That said, you do you. If you feel a separate account is in order, then go ahead.

I'm sorry you had to deal with all of that. :T

Aheheh. No worries on my end at least. I can't say I was pleased to see such a pic show up in my notifications, but eh. Warning would have been nice, but I blame that more on FA's fucked up thumbnail system than you.

...Still, I have to say I was a bit shocked to see such a scat pic from you of all things.

im a versatile man, what can I say?

Hah. Fair enough. I guess I was mostly surprised because the majority of the artists I know outright refuse to draw scat, even if it's for a commission. If you're willing to draw it and it helps pay the bills though, I can't really blame you. Suppose this falls into the 'to each their own camp.'

Not that I can really talk. I know a fair number of people who are disgusted by some of my fetishes as well.

there are worse things to jack off to, which is why im not on Inkbunny anymore

While I was surprised that it showed up, I didn't mind it was there.

A separate account seems to be the better solution. Don't want to lose your audience and drive potential customers away.

Sucks ppl freak so much. This is an alt account for me for the same reasoning

You're just doing what you're being paid to do, no one is entitled to anything on here yet seem to act like it. ..Especially, despite people disliking the image, they seem to click on it anyways which is ultimately their fault.

You go ahead and do what's best for you, but -true- watchers will support their artists through anything.

i know, but some people just have a gut-reaction and id hate to betray long time watchers. its better to just put it in an obscure account and let the people who are into it flock to it

I know, it's always a nice, selfless thing to appease people. It's people that have rude reactions that annoy me. Sure, I don't like that fetish, but I don't insult people, the artist, or the picture for that matter to make a point. It's just rude and it frustrates me.

I, for one, think it's a kind thing thing of you to do.

I was definitely surprised seeing it but the best reaction is just not to comment. It's someone else's commission so we have nothing to say regardless.

Exactly this.

That's definitely the appropriate solution to that problem. You're right to do that. That way non fetish work remains where its known and you can work on things you don't mind working on fetish wise on another account where people have no right to bitch about it because its separate from your main work.

To be fair, people don't really have any rational right to bitch about it even if he posts it to this account. If they don't like it, they're free not to click. The fact that he's accommodating to them is the sign of a gentleman and a savvy businessman, not because they're right to be offended by it.

Oh I completely agree. Like when I didn't like this rape comic from this comic. I was like yeah, sorry, I'm out, I don't like this, I don't condone it but you're an awesome artist, keep being awesome. Pretty much. He messaged me, apologized, and hell he was so awesome about it I stayed instead of leaving like I planned to. But, like, if I don't like a fetish, I don't watch the person, unless its a once in a blue moon thing that it doesn't bother me much. But some people just go NUTS. Thinking they control the artist, they control the work, they have the RIGHT somewhere in their besotted little heads that this is OK to do and they are right. Its not.

Unless there's a thumbnail warning or it's in the title itself (which many people do NOT do), you don't even have to click on a picture to see what it is. A thumbnail is more than enough, and coming across a thumbnail isn't the viewer's fault.

I came across one of those thumbnails. Know what I did?

Glanced at it, saw what it was, and moved on with my life. It didn't give me the right to complain and ask for the artist, posting his works for free, to alter his practices. I could have unfollowed him, sure—and that's why I said he is a relatively business-savvy person for creating a separate account for such works, because he doesn't want to lose those follows. But that was his choice, not because he was validating the complainant's "right" to not be grossed-out for a second.

I actually didn't see the poll, but it should just be common behavior to respect an artist and his or her gallery.

People are weird.

I've just come to accept that this is the Internet and your going to see stuff that I might not like but others are super into. Besides you really do see sicker stuff on the net then scat

Umm excuse me sir why did MY porn have shiet in it, I pay for nice clean art with my invisible monies and you just burnt all of it.

I can understand that you were paid for that your commissioner wanted,
strangely I'm comfortable with watersports but not scat its a little ehhhh no

But I hope you didn't receive too many negative comments on it, like I saw it and was surprised but I didn't click
onto the photo because its not something I'm interested and whats the point to bash on another artist stuff if you no like

Personally, I think it's kind of silly that people are so turned off that they leave altogether. A lot of artists that I like will sometimes upload things that I don't like, but all I do is simply not look at the pictures I dislike, and enjoy the ones I do like. I can't see why it's so difficult for others to do the same.

I don't enjoy ALL of the extreme fetish things that you will be uploading to your new account but I do enjoy some of them, so I'm already subscribed to it and looking forward to more micro/macro and hardcore paws/feet content.

Thanks for being true to yourself and drawing things that may not be comfortable to all, but at the very least you are willing to do! This is what being a businessman means, at least in part.

thanks man!

Whenever something like that happens and I feel the need to post a reaction (if I don't just ignore it and pass over) I say something like: "The fetish isn't my thing, but the coloring/linework/whateverIfeelneedstobeaddressed looks great!"
