An important announcement
Added 2021-09-27 19:30:18 +0000 UTCUm.. guys, I know this may sound dumb or strange but I just wanted to thank all of you for your unending support both financial and moral.
I am really struggling lately, so while finishing my current orders (none of yours is abandoned or forgotten) I also thought.. well of selling some of my real pics. And since I have not done anything yet, please don't judge me strictly. I just really really need your opinion and advice, from all of you. It's a matter of survival for me lately so I can tell I am not very happy with doing that. I just can't go find real life side job because it will only slow me down with drawing for you, while I still need some extra money to be able to make it this month at least.
I am starting a public poll for all of you about if I should do that via patreon or any other way, I am not going to make any hardcore nude pics anyway and want it to be one time thing. I know many girls probably say something like this when starting such things. I don't want to go the same way, I swear. I am really conflicted about but I just need to find a way to get through my troubles no matter what.
Thank you for reading and please, don't leave me just for my intention. Nothing is set in stone.
Here is the poll - https://strawpoll.com/8xv7kb9yg

My suggestion would be to do what you're comfortable with; I don't think there's anything wrong with it and if anybody judges you for it, that's their problem, don't make it yours (ie don't worry about what other people - strangers - think of you). But yeah, if it's something that you really don't want to do for personal reasons - not because of what others will think but because of how *you* feel about it - then... I hope you can figure something else out.

You seem to be involved in your community, and you also are in a craft that targets an audience similar to the one that would purchase such photos. The latter also saves you from the potential public/fan blowback that most personalities who fit the former would fear. I don't think online people would think worse of you, even considering that people who sell nudes usually enjoy less respect than people who draw them. This would've been not only a good idea for side income, it would've allowed the drawing business and the pic business to grow each other if the pic side turned out good and you made it a constant thing. On the other hand, I wouldn't want you to do this if you feel bad about it. I don't know why you can't increase your picture output, but even without that there are ways like special auctions you can do to tide you over in these trying times. Have you asked your fellow artists for tips and ideas? There should be people who are ready to help you with this. Of course, if you think that your apprehension is more based on self-consciousness or things that would've applied to creating smut drawings than deeper moral conflicts, some introspection and affirmation could help you with this. Personally, I don't ever buy such things, but would do it in your case out of solidarity if you decide to do this.
