Worry, Worry, Worry!

The Rantings of an Art Crazed Chow, Second verse, same as the first.
Why am I so stressed artwise? I have been deep in thought lately, my last two submissions invoking rule 34 and 63, oh so much porn lately that I have slowly began to questions my motives and reasons for art. True, I'm having more fun now that I would dare have as a kid, I guess that is one of the rewards of growing old, but some thoughts have slowly crept into my mind...
A few folks, some watchers who are fellow artists have questioned their place in the genre and with erotica and porn getting more attention then general pieces. A few folks leaving in frustration over not getting enough hang time. (No I am not naming any names because I have high respect for them.) At least one innocent was confused over the method and madness of my art and I guess you can say that is what sparked this doubt within me.
First off in foremost, sure I can get weird at times, but I figured that the life I led before warranted me to at least let loose now and then. (14 years in the military, strict protocol and such, not a fun time at times.) A skewed childhood, (Not to be mistaken for the one Wacko Jacko had, I'm not famous, I don't sing or dance, and if I had a chimp, he sure would not be named Bubbles, more like Master Blaster.) So many things too numerous to mention, but I guess the bottom line is that I get this slightly horrible feeling that I'm freaking folks out.
My thought processes, such as they are sometimes tend to point me into strange directions, to think some thoughts that what I assume normal folks won't even touch. I feel I owe it to at least some of my watchers and viewers of my art to throttle back on the weird for a little while, to cut back a little on the erotica and porn, just a touch, and take up the task of doing slight improvements of my art, to at least make it more suitable for public consumption. Is this a sign of me selling out to the naysayers who decry that porn, erotica, and general weirdness is drowning the genre? Heck no! I don't think so, that would put me inline with those cookie cutter artist who conform with the norm. I need a little spice in my life, at least to compensate for the lack of a good relationship with people in general.
So I will still act the clown, but not too much, I don't want to scare away folks here.
Look, I know there are some who are more than mature enough to view my art yet hold a air of innocence, I don't want to ruin that for them. Don't worry, more stuff coming, I just got to reevaluate things. Cheers.

In spite of everything, I still believe somewhere, some day there's a place for the under-R-rated artwork.
The question that lies within my mind is that if I do give up the R-Rated stuff and above and just go G Rating, how long would I go before I'm either known as a pukey cute Chibi artist, or an artist with no backbone. Heavens to Burned Fur, I think I am becoming my own worst enemy.
being half a century old I would know better than to blindly follow certain crowds for popularity, it's not worth it considering I've sold my soul for other things than to be the hottest artist on FA.
I think I'm finding out what you already know. Thanks to you and others, in spite of the temptation I'm still holding to my principles.
Now I am torn between continuing the erotica and porn to try and satisfy that urge or to stop all together because even though I am not a professional, I know a possible problem when I see it.
It's the only thing I have left before I totally withdraw into myself and shut off the rest of the world. I only hope it works.
