Practice makes perfect 💪 Everybody has to do their time in the turmoil chambers of feeling like a toddler with crayons when they're trying something new
Honestly, this is also how it feels as someone who commissions art.
The SFW/Non porn theme stuff usually does terribly.
A simply kink themed sketch; swamped.
Or the fun twist I run into as a SFW artist. I draw a NSFW piece and get called problematic because SFW artists can't do that. (It's mostly tumblr being gatekeepy to hell and back. You cannot win on that site.)
There is a part of me that hates seeing this play out in real life over time, even just with the stuff I commission.
On the flip side, I fully recognize the old adage of 'the internet is for porn' and take the viewpoint that Freud was at least somewhat correct in how sex obsessed humans can be.
C'est amusant parce que j'ai toujours eu plus de succès du côté SFW pour ma part! J'ai tenté l'aventure NSFW fut un temps, ce fut un échec considérable ^^! Je dois pas être fait pour cette discipline...!
I'm sad this is the situation bc I always love discovering the stuff artists are passionate about. Sometimes it's the porn to begin with but just as often you'll get someone who designs gorgeous landscapes or incredible machinery or monsters and the passion really shows
The few times I tried NSFW, not only it was a mental struggle to complete (not physical; I drew live models before), but by the time I was done, it was received with a resounding "Meh..."
To be fair, I think part of it is that very few NSFW artists post exclusively spicy stuff, while an artist who primarily does SFW stuff is less likely to step outside the work-safe zone.
But part of it is just people really wanting adult stuff.
I was very happy that a sfw(ish) piece I did recently still got a warm reception because I really really liked how it came out and I was worried no one would care about it cause nobody was naked. ;;
One of my friends also experiences this, but significantly worse. I think its because i cross post things from my main account and people realize the boundary, but aaa
Oh THIS?! This would be TOTALLY fine to share more often haha. The rendering's awesome, the character is a little spicy if ya look at them the right way (but not too much imo), and the character's just fun to look at!
Top tier art, Keke! You absolutely SHOULD share this kinda stuff more often!
Well no shame to say that I already did NSFW art in the past.
(thanks to my colleagues that does it for a living haha)
I can't share anything online for reasons, I am mostly a SFW artist and well known for that but I wish to share at least nudity stuff like this more often at least.
I 100% get the little video, I have that exact problem tbh. I do NSFW once in a while for mostly comms or personal, but I do alot of SFW. But most people only want the NSFW work. However I tend to ignore the engagement and just continue to do what I enjoy doing! ^^
I know allot of artists like that! I also know a few that use two fully seprate names for sfw and nsfw.
Personally, it's about expression. Art is expression, sfw or nsfw it's about getting something out into the world so others can see.
Some people don't have a sexual expression, some only do.
OOOOOOO I love when artists eventually share something very different from their usual. The media, the subject, the style of this one - it's all so contrasting comparing with your animations. But you are so good with BOTH! Love it!
If you feel uncomfortable with sharing your more nsfw work, maybe a second account would help!
This is just a recommendation as to maintain this sfw account/image/space and also have a place where you can have your fun
Hope to see more of your other work in the future! 💕
Yeah, I get you
Especially how big you are must be extra difficult
I hope you find a solution to this predicament eventually, this style of work for an artist that normally has a very consistent style interests me a lot (but I’m just one person lol)
Much love anyway 💕
Here is a tip for using Bluesky: You can actually filter out adult content if you do not wish to see it. If you stumble over untagged adult content, you can report it and a label will be added by the moderation team.
(PS: Please don't try to police what artists post on their accounts, that's mean)
I think doing questionable art is absolutely healthy and normal for any artist to make. And balancing SFW with NSFW definitely presents an interesting challenge, I agree!
I feel this is the same for fan fiction too. 🙈 I haven’t done NSFW yet but I know the amount of hits/kudos would skyrocket. 🤣 *stares longingly at blank page*
In the first half, when everybody turn the head to the NSFW pic it remember me the part in fantasia when all the dinosaurs turn the attention to the tiranosaurus (in my mind the same music would sound awesome XD)
For those who love it, it can be super refreshing to see and do. It’s also nice to be able to have something you can show people no problem to promote your favorite artist. So paint your little sunsets and take your brain breaks!
Back in the Twitter days (2021 - 2023), I distinctly remember my pixel art in general (both SFW and not) not getting any interactions. Aside from nowadays not having the time for it anymore, that experience is maybe the secondmost reason I barely do any of it nowadays. Felt like I wasted my time. XD
Jokes on you, I love seeing the cool SFW pieces pron artists make. That shot is always just as gallery tier as their smutt, and explores some really cool themes and emotions.
Doing both and seeing the same scale tilted to nsfw is just something I've accepted over the years. People at conventions want my sfw and people online want the nsfw.
big fan of NSFW artists showing off not just that they're good at making... let's say, titillating pieces, but that they've well earned the title of artist. some of the most striking shit I've seen has been from the hands of +18 only accounts.
I love when they do both, or when you see that they are able to go farther and explore many things.
NSFW is fun but I feel doing only that can be tiring after a long while (or not?) Personally I would always switch up a bit to add to the enjoyment, it's always cool to do both sides ^^
I like these types of posts sometimes cuz they can be a bit cute or funny as a joke but I never really care for the overall message behind them.
"likes matters more than anything"
It’s why I think how we perceive and value art is forever tainted because of social media, it doesn’t need anyone’s approval except ourselves and the people closest to us individually.
Comments
so when they make the switch its immediately god tier shit 🤌✨️
But then my followers know me as a landscape painter.
I'm glad you posted here
They may not do well numbers wise, but I love making them and if even one or two people enjoy them too, then that justifies me posting them
The SFW/Non porn theme stuff usually does terribly.
A simply kink themed sketch; swamped.
And as always, gorgeously animated ☺️
On the flip side, I fully recognize the old adage of 'the internet is for porn' and take the viewpoint that Freud was at least somewhat correct in how sex obsessed humans can be.
So yeah...
This hits way too close
But part of it is just people really wanting adult stuff.
And bless to this day
THIS
One of my friends also experiences this, but significantly worse. I think its because i cross post things from my main account and people realize the boundary, but aaa
I called it "Pigeon with thick legs and a little wooly hat"
I do hope you will enjoy it 🙏😭
I'm getting old, can't keep up.
Nevertheless
i see 👀
Oh.
It looks great !
I love to train and have fun (I should .... maybe share those online more often, sad I never know what to say about them :/)
Top tier art, Keke! You absolutely SHOULD share this kinda stuff more often!
(I'll see myself out-) x.x
(thanks to my colleagues that does it for a living haha)
I can't share anything online for reasons, I am mostly a SFW artist and well known for that but I wish to share at least nudity stuff like this more often at least.
I think it makes people laugh way more than anything else, it's really the kind of stuff I love to do.
It's just really for an adult audience so I can't share anything thought, one day I will try, could be an experience for sure :)
Personally, it's about expression. Art is expression, sfw or nsfw it's about getting something out into the world so others can see.
Some people don't have a sexual expression, some only do.
Is it a canvas painting or a digital one? (Sorry, I can’t tell the difference)
Reminds me in some ways of some of Monet’s works!
Since I’m picking up art once again might try to paint on a canvas once more because of this
This is just a recommendation as to maintain this sfw account/image/space and also have a place where you can have your fun
Hope to see more of your other work in the future! 💕
Though about it many times and no, one is already too much work so two? rip me ^^"
Especially how big you are must be extra difficult
I hope you find a solution to this predicament eventually, this style of work for an artist that normally has a very consistent style interests me a lot (but I’m just one person lol)
Much love anyway 💕
cool 7w7
(no judgement Have fun With the Horney beam Lmfao.)
(PS: Please don't try to police what artists post on their accounts, that's mean)
Debated making an alt account for spicier art, but I'm still not so sure. 😩
I want to go this way, I like to do questionable art too from time to time but it's interesting to go farther too, it's a challenge ^^
But yeah, I don't share it online but it always makes me chuckle with the reactions xDDD
I hope to live that at least once online haha
Yushhh!

Prom : 😎
But hey a lot of people love both of my SFW art and NSFW art ^^
...really hurts
(You don't have to listen to me of course haha)
(Haha joking ..................... not really thought ;u;)
Dragon... humpers are huge...
Also, I never knew you did a Vaporeon and Ninetales picture. Two of my favorites from Gen 1 just hanging out.
...on the other hand-
NSFW is fun but I feel doing only that can be tiring after a long while (or not?) Personally I would always switch up a bit to add to the enjoyment, it's always cool to do both sides ^^
"likes matters more than anything"
Whenever I draw anything risqué, people often act like their mild mannered aunt has shocked them by swearing XD
Pretty fancy
I Have My Doubts T.T
*Uncensored hand holding* 😳
