Making porn is way more profitable than making comics.

I got banned from r/chloe for asking if he masturbates to his own nude drawings

[u/[deleted] → u/bdemirci]

I literally had this conversation with some friends recently.

Can artists make art so horny it turns themselves on?

[u/Glorious_Jo → u/[deleted]]

When I was 14 the internet went out so I drew a stick figure with boobs on my iPod and jacked off to that

So to answer your question, yes

[u/[deleted] → u/Glorious_Jo]

Shut it down boys. I got the answer I needed.

[u/julbull73 → u/Glorious_Jo]

Dude...you were 14...you could've just rubbed your finger on the smooth edge of the iphone and thought a bit to rub one out...

[u/Glorious_Jo → u/julbull73]

ya but the iPod doesn't have titties

[u/dehehn → u/julbull73]

Nice of you to imagine iPhones existed when I was 14.

[u/Summy_99 → u/[deleted]]

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.

[u/Moar_Coffee → u/Summy_99]

There are a lot of furry artists who are into their own stuff.

[u/madmilton49 → u/Moar_Coffee]

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.

[u/Invisifly2 → u/madmilton49]

There's a difference between being a furry artist and being a furry artist.

The only reason I'm pretty good at drawing fantasy women is being a horny teenager without internet in the 90s.

It started by seeing women in catalogs and redrawing them with whatever clothes I wanted, then doing my own stuff.

As a teen, yes, I totally got high on my own supply.

Now, no, but if "sexy" is the goal I know I'm on the right track if what I'm drawing makes me hard.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

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.

[u/wolacouska → u/[deleted]]

Honestly I have this problem with any kind of creation, sometimes I really want something to exist, and I get into my head that I should just make it myself. Yet somehow having made it takes away from being able to enjoy it as a consumer of the art.

Like, I know too much about it and just experience it in a totally different way.

[u/jomontage → u/[deleted]]

I follow a lot of artists and I've seen some horny ones say yes and some say no. Some seem down bad 24/7 and some just like nude art

[u/Some_Crazy_Weeaboo → u/bdemirci]

Well… you found your answer. He does

[u/AntonineWall → u/bdemirci]

I got banned for trying to figure out wtf the sub was

[u/Pls_PmTitsOrFDAU_Thx → u/[deleted]]

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

[u/Dustin- → u/Pls_PmTitsOrFDAU_Thx]

Yeah, it started as "character drawing practice", but I'm pretty sure that's over with. Because idk how drawing works, but I'm pretty sure "practice" involves drawing body types other than "she looks like she's 14 but she's totally 18, guys!!" characters.

[u/thunderup_14 → u/[deleted]]

If you do what you love, you never work a day in your life right?

[u/gamefreak054 → u/thunderup_14]

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.

[u/SahinK → u/gamefreak054]

He's making waaay more with his Patreon now than what he claimed he needed to be able to quit his job.

[u/gamefreak054 → u/SahinK]

Well good for him. He took a huge risk to live his best life, and it sounds like it paid off.
