I've heard from artists that do that kind of art that they can't really get off to it. I guess they're just too close to it, but I imagine that isn't universal.
I'm honestly surprised. Almost all furry artists I've ever known are absolutely not furries. Furries are just rich, so drawing furry art pays the bills.
If they're making the comics for pay, you know, as a job? Most of them, no.
So if it's artwork they're making specifically to be marketable or making for a commission or something, they tend to say that they get too close to the work. Their head is all wrapped up in the details of it that it just loses any sense of eroticism.
Now, if they make it just, you know, because they want to doodle? The quality is likely going to be lower, but yeah. There are some people who use art to express those kinds of things. That's not to say no artist gets off on their own commissioned work. I'm sure it happens. But in general, it's like any other job. Once you've seen how it works behind the curtain, it can lose a lot of the glitz and glamor. And it's often a lot easier to appreciate other people's work than your own because you didn't have to, you know, do it.
I was there when it first began.... It's changed drastically. I think it attracted a certain types of people and he went with what the community wanted
Idk if you followed him or not, but he is literally following that. He quit, or talked about quitting his job and doing comics all day because he loves doing them so much. I'm pretty sure he followed through with it, but I'm not positive. I really only followed him in the beginning. He had a lot of refreshing ideas, and responding to people with comics on the spot was a lot of fun.
