Just be a bandwagoning faggot, it works for Shad.

Ok actual thread topic: Post your Shadmans.

To get big just draw obscure as hell shit at first and than you can just draw regular porn. It's exactly what shadbase did and still does. Also take ALL requests you can.

Forehead girls kinda hot. Not OP pic but the new pearl is cute

This picture is ridiculously ugly, probably unfappable even for the most depraved pedophiles.

It's almost as if shad's dumb ass has never gotten into trouble for drawing children before or something. What a fucking moron for not keeping his shit under wraps. It's going to catch up to him big time one day.

only if you can make 3k a month in donations, depending on where you live that is more than livable

Yeah definitely.
The golden things to remember are niches, marketing and butts.

People will pay good cash money for niche porn. The reason there is some weirdass porn out there is because some fetishist was willing to fork out a hundred for it. In the modern day with Patreon this is even bigger.
As for marketing, know your crowd and where to reach them. Make sure your art gets some exposure. If you're drawing furry smut, get on furaffinity and make sure your shit is tagged. If someone searches for a term that your porn covers, you want them to see it immediately.
Lastly butts. Can't tell you the science behind it but for some reason butt shots are the big favourites. Butt shots do better than just about any other generic pose.

>Shadman

it is a hits miss thing, some guy make money others the time spent is low than a min job.

Pander. Have connections. Be funny and be nice.

If you have quality content, then you might be able to pull it off with Patreon. Jay Naylor is pulling a six figure income from it, but he was a well known furry porn artist going into it.

Almost every single decent artist starts off drawing nudity. This is a fact.

Except for Shadman. Shadman is not a decent artist.

...

Another thing, if someone has already drawn it, don't be afraid to draw it again. I don't have a picture (it's the two cakes thing) but even if a better artist has drawn something, the audience won't mind another one draw by you (so long as it's drawn competently).

You canlt get in trouble for drawing lolis if they're objectively inhuman.

Its the easiest way to make a living as an artist online. People like to spend money on things that make them happy, and porn makes people happy.

Yes.

You need to offer something
Commissions is not good for Patreon.

A strong way to do things is to timegate it. Not by something massive. Maybe a week, up to a month. Let your patrons get the first taste.
Maybe let them vote on a pic if you have multiple things you are thinking of doing.

Don't be afraid to have some higher costing tiers. Some people are fucking rich and willing to blow tons.

Get on Discord once you have about 20 people. Maybe stream yourself drawing shit on Picarto. People like to be part of a community.

Oh yeah definitely. Look at fucking Renamon or Krystal. One gajillion pics and is still popular every time.
The only time this becomes an issue is with niches. If you flood a niche, you lose the purpose of the niche (supply and demand)

It works quite well if you're a good artist

OK that's funny.

Why is the world so fucked up?

>Yerf

Oh shit that brings me back.

if you do commissions for furries and other freak fetishists, its not that hard to make a living

Being like shad and having people pay you to draw the porn you want to draw and make a living off it requires a good amount of luck.

>Look up Jay Naylor
>All that money being made in furry porn

Unlike actual artists, internet """"""content creators"""""' are ephemeral, and the ones you follow now will be forgotten within the decade

Only 5K? I thought he be making more bank but I guess there are commissions too.

Because porn sells.

Drawing porn is a good way to get experienced
One of the hardest parts of drawing people is getting the anatomy to look good. Making sure things like movement and body language work.
Nudes is a super common, important thing for artists and porn is a logical step forward

The market for most art is over saturated thanks to the internet. Everyone thinks they are an artist, even those horrible hobbyists, so they will judge the fuck out of you, they also all think they can make money off of it. They undercut one another constantly and thanks to other countries being able to charge far less (usually a studio style group as well) it makes it extremely hard. It is not easy making money in the art field, starting out, especially if you do not know someone. It is truly one of the main professions in which 'who you know' is important.

If someone is good, not just decent but good, over time they can make a name for themselves in niche fields and make money, however, it is not as easy as one would think. The phrase 'starving artist' is true, more so in the niche markets.

You were born just right to be able to live comfortably off donations for drawing cartoon porn. I'm glad to be alive

This guy can't even draw faces and look at how much money he's making

>actual artists
you mean the homeless

Does Patreon deduct taxes?

63k a year is nothing to sneeze at for being able to do whatever the hell you want.

So annoying considering Incase makes beautiful art, composition and colors

Why do you believe porn is fucked up?

patreon.com/taxes

No but they take a 25% cut.

Yeah, they get a cut as well.

ironically, porn artist learn a lot about drawing anatomy and human body (you have to learn how to portray reality before doing deconstruction).

That said, drawing porn is a good way to get money, furry porn is the place with most money.

There is a lot of japanese artists that where hentai artists and now they draw "normal" manga.

There are other examples like some japanese mangaka that made porn for at least 3 decades, he is a master at it and he has a pretty nice niche where he gets money. The author of plastic little. He also do non porn stuff.

God damn! 14k a month.

1,953
patrons

$10,535/month in Patreon pledges.

Wishing I could draw a single decent picture.

I can attest to that, I really feel that I've gotten better as an artist in general after I started drawing smut.

still amazes me there are so many people just mindlessly throwing money at porn artists considering there already are thousands and thousands of porn pictures on the internet

Pepipopo has a patreon since last year, and he barely does over 100 USD per month, so there's that..

But not [my super specific fetish commission]

Yeah, but no one draws girls with sea anemone/cuttlefish like vaginas so I gotta do what I gotta do.

It's more like
>People will pay good cash money for niche anything (if they want it).
It's one of the first things that any good business book teaches you. I'm surprised it isn't common knowledge yet. Start working a niche -> grow -> gain mainstream recognition -> do a Kickstarter and never deliver ;_;

>there already are thousands and thousands of porn pictures on the internet
Art and entertainment works a bit different when it comes to supply and demand. Maybe people are supporting their favorite porn artists, maybe they are paying for porn of this really obscure character that the average porn artist couldn't be bothered to draw.

Just looked through the wiki a bit and goddamn, those faces are pretty bad. Everyone has the same face, and it's not a good one. How do you earn over 100k a year for THAT?

If his anatomy was better and his subjects less limited (like, seriously, I understand if he, personally, has a fetish for island/tribal/hula/etc. girls but people tend to want more variety, you can draw your hula girls for yourself all the time but don't complain about the little money and fanbase later), he'd certainly get a bigger fanbase and much possibly more Patreon money.
Sadly he never listens.

I respect your opinion user and am glad you shared it.

>10k a month

jesus, surely his output is good though? the frustrating thing about patreon isnt people getting paid, it's getting paid for doing fuck all AND having an army of shills to defend your laziness

You can't just make stuff and expect people to magically find your work.

Well, most of his art is spread out over many sites, but he started posting some nice stuff over at pawoo.

Also I think he rarely does pictures of fucking since he is still learning construction, like hell, only in 2016 he started to become decent?

But tell me people, how do you want his anatomy to be good? He posted a new penny picture at pawoo and pixiv just a few days ago and look good to me.

i really dont get how everyone seems to have high standards when it comes to western porn games
it looks decent enough - if you're playing a game for porn it should be more interested in the whole scenario than just the image

while i agree incase is amazing the other guy (assumedly) is doing the coding and all that shit too

>furry porn is the place with most money.
But why? It is infuriating that this is the case and I don't understand it.

Depends on how fast and degenerate you are

This guy can't even bother to finish his work and look how much he's making.

Niche audience + autismbux.

Mainly because of people wanting their excessively specific donut steel shipped with someone else's donut steel and willing to pay out the ass for it. You gotta remember that these are the folks who have the kind of disposable income for fursuits and dragon dildos.

Now THIS I don't understand. I like the guy's drawings but it's like nobody fucking realizes he always draws the same faces and bodies?
I wouldn't donate to an artist like this, AT MOST I might commission him once and that's it, being generous.

Oh well, as long as you can fap to it, right?

How long will it take until all niche fetishes have hundreds of quality images?

Not many artists who take the time to get good want to reduce themselves to drawing furry porn
So it becomes a supply-demand thing for those who do. There tens of thousands of artists who will draw normal commisions, but there is only a very few who will do freak stuff

Sauce?

Honestly, I think you can make a shitton of money drawing porn by just ALWAYS drawing. I mean, half of Shad's popularity is that he's cranking out pictures like a motherfucker. There are VERY few artist with his work ethic, even if his pictures are shit. As long as you're semi-decent, or if you even just cater to a specific fetish, you can rake in the dough. If I had a dollar for each artist who had a great style, but only draws something every other month, or starts some super comic and quits ahlfway through, I'd be a rich motherfucker. Most artists just don't have the discipline to be self-employed.

>Le legoman draws the same face and body meme
Yes yes very funny now go away

Okay, next question. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there doesn't seem to any other fandoms that are this way: OC-obsessed and with a lot of disposable income. Why is that?

I want to cater to the sameface fetish like Shadman.

some work with a high paying job with few to 0 hobbies beside OC pandering
spoiler: the guy who commissioned a fuck ton of macro starfox is a surgeon
if you don't know about macro fetish: google it. I ain't want that filth in my history

>sameface fetish like Shadman
>sameface
This fucking meme needs to die.

>artist has a patreon/twitter/whatever
>they sign it in all of their works
>its impossible to read

A lot of people commission stuff for their OCs. There's just nothing noteworthy about someone paying $20 for a picture of their OC donut steel waifu.

Furries are the right balance of niche, pathetic and disgusting that there enough of them to make a good profit, but too weird for many artists to work with.

But he's right it's all the same face

>Macrophilia is a fascination with or a sexual fantasy involving giants
That's it?
>It is typically a male fantasy, with the male playing the "smaller" part--entering, being dominated
Why would anyone have a prob-
>or being eaten by the larger woman.
>being eaten
Oh.

Ugh. Vore-fags ruin fucking everything, don't they?

and your description is just a small part of it, that guy's commissions usually are: starfox and falco fucking and breaking buildings, flooding towns with spunks.... and other weirdshit like that

I actually like most of shad's stuff, but I wish he'd stop with the pedo shit. It's not funny or hot.

As a lewd artist just depends on who you draw if you're starting out draw whoever is popular to get some people looking at your work. I started less than a month ago and i seem to be doing pretty well not enough to live off of but hey its extra gas money for me.

>flooding towns with spunk
lol

Well there's Madoc who somehow became buddies with pepipopo and he does like +500usd, considering he's better than pepipopo at anatomy, or so you'd think, since madoc always does Victorian realistic Anatomy, like he never does stylized stuff.

Shadman needs the Dobson treatment, this has been going long enough.

Others exist like Homestuck, Pokemon, Sanic, and MLP, but those usually get folded into furry.

As for why, its like another user said how "furry" isn't a line a lot of other artists are willing to cross. Ergo you have a shit load of artists who will draw everything else like wonder woman pegging johnny bravo but due to the large number of skilled artists that would be willing to draw that, they have to charge less to be competetive.

...

>flooding towns with spunks

It's getting more difficult, like a lot of art jobs. Too much pre-existing competition, and new skilled folks entering the game on a daily basis, you'd have to be truly different or insanely talented to stand out.

If you're doing it for free though it's still always an easy way to build up a fanbase.

Don't forget Doug Winger, a guy who made sure creepy herm and macro art dominated the furfag scene for a while
>A former engineer for Republic Aviation Corporation, he was the Acting System Engineer for the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II's AN/AAS-35(V) Pave Penny laser spot tracker. After Republic was acquired by Fairchild Aircraft, Doug worked in the support team for the Space Shuttle orbiter's tail section stabilizer.

Does the Homestuck fandom have disposable income? I was under the impression that (at least at its peak) it was mostly comprised of poorfag teenagers trying to beg and guilt artists into drawing for them.

...

No in order to cure Shadman we need to have sex with him in missionary position.

>yfw the recent trap Marco comic is an autobiography

Macro isn't always paired with vore. Unbirthing is another fetish sometimes paired with macro, but often it's just the desire to see boobs and butts on a much larger scale.

Personally, I'm a fan of macro futanari. Giant dickgirls are the best. Especially when they start having sex with skyscrapers or large plots of land.

oh shit, didn't that guy get busted for CP?

...

Hollywood Undead sure has gone downhill.

I used to draw niche fetish porn and, if you're somewhat good, you'll attract an audience rather quickly. The most followers I gained in a day were 400.

Don't knock it till you try it bud. Drawing porn is one of the single most cathartic hobbies you could possibly indulge in. Few things make me as happy as putting my debauched fantasies into paper.

What I don't get about giantessfags is why they would want to ruin a perfectly good fantasy of fugging a superhumanly tall girl with breasts and hips to match by making her the size of Godzilla. Anything more than 1.5 times the male character's height is just sexually pointless.
