Should I get a Twitter? (or some sort of social media equivalent)
So pinups are coming along nicely, but people coming to me for commissions have been pretty low. So, I'm wondering if should use social media more to get my name out there and some more customers. I've haven't done this already for a variety of different reasons, such as a fear of getting too addicted to it and the fact that I don't what to get harassed by people on the internet, especially since I make a lot of NSFW stuff. However, I know that there a lot of NSFW artist who use Twitter since the Tumbler purge and who have made a huge name for themselves by using the platform. (that what I think from casually glances, if I'm wrong let me know)
So, why I'm asking you guys is because I need a second opinion of this stuff since its been on my mind for quite some time now and not sure what I want to do. I know for fact I what to make this my main career since I enjoy the hell out of making NSFW stuff, but so far supporting myself financially by doing is becoming more and more unlikely, so please let me know your thoughts down below and feedback or advice would be helpful.
Anyway on ward to less despairing news, here are some updates on the pinups I'm working on - Artwork for only two down since NG only allows 2 per blog post below (excuse them for being a little rough):
- Jean from Genshin Impact - I finally came back to this one and man has it exploded from being a simple pinup, right now I flip flopping from several different outfits and different faces for Jean, not only that I added Lisa (since Jean is burrowing clothes from her for a upcoming ball) but I'm also giving Lisa different facial expressions, so this one won't be ready for quite some time, but I'm enjoying working on it.
- Starfire from Teen Titans - should be done soon, but trying to figure out how to render her hair since Starfire has some of the most colorful hair of any character I've done so far
- Nami - This is one is about finished actually, a little rough around the edges quite literally but I think got the main values done. Once I'm done I plan on getting it critique since I know there was quite I missed in drawing to "paint" this pinup and remove the lineart, but overall it was a nice learning experience.
- New OC's (No artwork since it's too lewd) - I'm also working on some new OC's but their a bit too lewd for me to post here, since ... ok so I kinda got in a weird fever pitch a couple days ago when I discovered some official art from a certain few Japanese H-game *cough* space pirate sara *cough* *cough* taimanin asagi *cough* and decided to make some BDSM loving characters who enjoy making love with monsters, but don't worry I plan on making it consensual. I don't really have the stomach to make rape artworks.
Anyway, thanks for reading and have a pleasant day or night. Artwork previews done below.
