Topic: Just Thinking Out Loud Here But, I Feel Like It's Hard To Be Seen As Anything Other Than a NSFW Artist Once You Main In It, Dood =‿=)~★

Posted under Art Talk

It only really makes it's self known once you wanna branch out
to some SFW stuff but once you do, Ya really start to notice all
the suggestions you get for the next NSFW pics, and really that's
to be expected. You doodle it all the time, you can't blame the
peeps who came to you for "A" wanting to see more "A" instead
of "B", Dood.

Now I feel like the best thing to do is to do what 'You" wanna
do. Not feel that nagging obligation to keep on that path
to make others happy, in spite of how intoxicating bringing
a smile to peeps faces can be. Sooner or later, with that train of
thought, You'll lose sight of what inspired you to doodle in
the first place, You'll become a clog in a machine of your own
making. Nah! "B" is where it's at! Not necessarily "B" itself but
that spark that made you start "B" in the first place, Dood!

That was real, It's your passion, the thing that brought you
this happiness of bringing happiness to others! It's gonna
sound rude but stick with me on this walk. The peeps who
found you, Don't know what they want. Hear me out!
Perfectly valid for them to make suggestions but what
they really wanna see is your passion! Because if you
blandly listen to them and draw to the crowd, Your toast.
There's no passion in such binary bizy work, Your art will
suffer and you'll lose them in the end even though you did
exactly what they said because:

"Your not drawing it the way you did before."

Because you don't feel what you're drawing. 'Just listening to
a prompt, and your art will suffer as a result. It's a gilded
dead-end, Dood.
=‿=)

Listen to yourself, Listen to your heart, You got this!
You may do NSFW but that doesn't have to be the only thing you do,
Cast the eyes aside and have fun, Dood!
