there's good money in drawing fursonas

...ive heard side-eye-1side-eye-2

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 17 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Are you open for commissions?

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

there's only two ways for me to know this and assuming ive drawn them is the incorrect one garf-chan

If you are serious I have a friend that does nsfw artwork and is really good If I dare say so. Not cheap though.

[–] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I always feel bad about advertising art cause yeah, for the hours and (for fully rendered) detail its probably not gonna be super cheap yea

I know a lot of ppl can't just throw around money on silly character/furry comms

[–] Comp4@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

Well on the flipside I do think professional artists who are good at their craft deserve to be payed. My friend isnt some big name but despite the quality of his art he still cant afford much from his work.

[–] Lurker123@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Are people still commissioning expensive art? I would have thought AI would have eaten their lunch.

[–] PaX@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

AI art is extremely unpopular in the furry community

People make and post AI furry art but people hate if you start selling it or if you display it as art of your character

Cuz not only is it uncreative, it also is made of stolen art and takes money away from artists

There is a limit to how hyper-specific Midjourney can be with fursonas and fetishes

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago

I've been thinking about giving this a try, sounds like a good way of having money without being employed (there are no jobs available anywhere)

[–] SnowySkyes@hexbear.net 34 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There’s so much money in furries like you wouldn’t believe. I’m not sure I’ve met a group of people that just throw their money at others quite like them. Exceptions are the MTG and Warhammer mini crowd.

[–] Omegamint@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

I wish I was good at 2d art because I would give anything to be able to burn time painting mtg cards.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 32 points 8 months ago (6 children)

I think the main reason I don't draw so much anymore is because I don't want people to ask me why I am drawing a cute bug girl and I need to let go of that shame

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 17 points 8 months ago

Please waiter, more cute bug girls, please.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago

Embrace it.

[–] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 13 points 8 months ago

there's a cute bug girl in the marvel cinematic universe. it's normalized, now is your time to shine

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

There's a VTuber pulling like 4K viewers on Twitch with a cockroach girl model, don't let your dreams be dreams

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Me seeing normie art on Twitter with suspiciously detailed feet

[–] TheSpectreOfGay@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago

im shit at drawing furries and people still want to commission me to draw furries for them, so it's pretty easy to get experience doing it!

[–] chungusamonugs@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago

Love seeing pizzcake on hexbear so I dont need to go to reddit. Keep up the good work rat-salute

[–] whatup@hexbear.net 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Those comics are normally kinda cringe but this one is actually funny.

[–] kfc@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

Think you're underselling it, the pizzacake comics I've seen have generally been bland, peak reddit nothingisms
