Hahahaa, thanks, but naw. I wouldn't describe myself as a lady, I don't like business suits, but the vaguely annoyed thing is on brand. It was very much the stereotypical "boss lady" kind of thing, I think. Like, he wasn't creepily detailed about it, which makes me think it wasn't someone he knew. I never took ones where it was like "please draw this person who I am obviously into IRL that did not give consent for this". If both people involved were into it, then I was okay with it.

What kind of weird poo poo did you have to look at in order to research your art? Like did you look at other fetish art, or did you have to find close up pictures of actual animal genitalia?

If I asked you to draw me some cocks, how many distinctly different kinds of cocks could you draw from memory?

Sorry I took so long to reply, been doing real life poo poo.

Mostly I just looked up animal photos for poo poo. I already liked drawing dicks and bits and puss, so the rest was filler. I can draw you so many dicks, my dude. So many.

On the subject of research, did you ever feel it necessary to do more than look at character designs to fulfill a commission for characters from a show/game/whatever? Like for that horrible comic putting Twilight Sparkle in her place, did you watch the show to get her mannerisms right?

Oh, I watched the show before that. I used to watch my little pony tales all the time as a kid, so when they came out with the new show I watched it for a while because it was cute and made me feel nostalgic.

To answer your question more seriously tho, I did at least try to do some research on most common characters to get their mannerisms right.

What was the least demanding or 'busy' commission you got. "Art me up some boning, I don't really care what."

What's the most 'bits' you've had to draw for a single commission? Anything like those hilarious ancient Roman good luck charms that are basically a dick, riding another dick, which has its own dick and another dick for a tail.

Bronies were usually the worst for it- I'm real good at drawing human dicks, and less so at drawing horse cocks. it was a little bit of a learning curve because I didn't really wanna look at references of horse cocks for too long. most of the furries I worked with were understanding when I explained this and were just like "okay cool just draw a normal boner but with weird colors/lots fo cum" but bronies were usually loving awful to work with and would loudly complain on forums and the like, thus decreasing my sales if I didn't meet their specifications.

k cool


so anyway


there's a weird fascination with furries when it comes to unnatural colors in their fursonas, most notably in soft tissues. A lot of neon colors, a lot of rainbows, what have you. Most of y'all have probably seen a sparkledog, or at least heard of them. So usually this isn't a huge problem, except when it came to what I like to call the Color Clusterfuck. So I check my email and find a new commission request- this person wants a cum commission with their fursona- as they descirbed it, they just wanted their fursona with cum all over their belly/crotch from having just jerked it. Okay, whatever, sounds easy. I accept and send them an email asking for specifics for their fursona. Usually, people will send me picture references they've either made or commissioned from someone else unwilling to do porn, or just describe it in general. Like, usually it'd be like "she's a white rabbit with neon blue mouth/pussy and she likes to wear goth clothes and has pink eyes" or whatever. Instead, I receive a 2,000 word (not an exaggeration) email detailing their fursona. It was a tiger/leopard cross, but all their markings were neon rainbows- and they were all incredibly specific on where and in what order they went. The red/yellow neon gradient stripe could not be above the red/yellow neon leopard spots, and they had to go in a gradient from top to bottom, and their paw pads were a round gradient of these SPECIFIC colors (I think it was sea foam and orange, iirc).

Like, jesus, this dude was so specific. There was like a whole paragraph on the cock alone, because of course that too had a super specific set of colors in a certain order. I spent so loving long on that commission alone that I ended up charging him twice as much for time involved because it was the same level of work in the end as the comics that some people would commission. he grumbled, but I said he wasn't gonna get the commission unless he paid me what I asked for it and I guess I was the only one willing to take it on, because he did. So I got 800$ of tasty tasty commission money, and he got his Color Clusterfuck.

The cum was normal.

edit to add: also this dude had the worst taste in color design. like, normally rainbows look a little busy characterwise, but this guy had specific color choices that made it look terrible- it couldn't be your normal candy apple red for the red, instead it was this weird, slightly dusky but still neon red? it's hard to describe, I'll see if I can find an example. it was like a cross between the bands on the teeth and the gums- a really strangely washed out red that clashed horribly with the bright sunny orange.

Right, and I just realized that I asked the wrong question, because apparently I can post while I'm asleep.
What I should have asked was, "What is the absolute simplest, least detailed commission you ever got. Like, to the point where you have to go and ask them because they don't give you enough details to work with. As a contrast to things like that 2000 word essay on rainbow fur.

Hahaha, sorry, my bad.

So, the no-detail requests happen a lot more often than you'd think. I'd usually have to ask for constant clarification on things. Did they have a normal dick, or a dog dick? Who was on top? did they want it in my style, or another style? did they want a background? did they want speech bubbles? did they want them to have hairstyles, or just fur? It was honestly infuriating dealing with these people. It was... hmmm. The closest thing I can think of is like trying to have sex with someone that insists that yes, they want sex, but they literally don't react to anything you do and get annoyed when you stop. Or you do something and then afterwards they're like "hey you should already know I don't like that thing, despite me never telling you that. it should be obvious."

eventually I came up with a basic form to fill out for people like that.

the humor and erotica ones were my favorite, because I think there should be the ability to laugh when it comes to sex. it's weird, your bodies are doing weird things, sometimes somebody farts on accident- there should be room for laughter and joy. so I always enjoyed the commissions where it was obvious that the person involved didn't take themselves or their fetish too seriously. I had one where this guy wanted me to do a transformation comic- only instead of ending in sex it ended with the person transformed into a boring object- a pen- by accident and being vaguely annoyed that they'd hosed up. It was more of a funny thing than anything, and as a bonus I got to make a ton of "ball-point pen" jokes. I love puns. :v:

Oh yeah. After a while, the times the cum was normal was rarer than the times the cum wasn't normal. I'm not actually sure what you mean by candy gore. do you mean gore of candy characters? because if so, yes. if not, you'll have to teach me a thing and I can kill off another tiny part of my soul.

Did you ever get requests for fetish porn that was self-deprecating? I mean did someone ask you for something like a superheroine juggling uterus fish while saying something like "I can't believe you'd ask me to do this!" or something of that nature.

My older friends described it as a "gently caress you" vibe. I was just kinda angry in general, and that was like a goddamn lamp to the gross shame fetish moths. They tried all the time to get me to say "that's weird, that's a weird fetish and you should feel bad" or call them disgusting for having those urges, or just for having sexual urges of any kind. I already wrote about the dude that would send me videos of him loving himself with dildos while begging me to step on him/punch him/choke him/degrade him for having sexual thoughts.

Haha, that's great. My former job as a clerk left me with an unhealthy appreciation for bureaucracy, so whenever someone says "basic form" I wonder just how basic is basic. Like dropdown boxes and dynamic fields? Automatic fee estimates? Tax form complexity, where you have to "fill out subsection boob with the results from section rear end, use the quotient derived in box box to determine the base rate of the commission, before fetishes are itemized in section..."

Ever make, or do you know of artists who make 'made-to-measure' erotica, instead bespoke erotica? Save time on comissions by feeding standardized forms into a computer script and cross-referencing pre-drawn art of common features?

Yeah, quite often, despite the fact that I made it super clear that I don't do those, along with non-con, dub-con, or anything else like that. I'd draw a lot of hosed up poo poo, but there is no amount of money you could pay me to draw that sort of thing. That's just 100% non debatably wrong. If I could, I'd also report those people to the authorities. it wasn't often that I could, internet anonymity being what it is, but some people were stupid enough to use their actual names and the like, or put too much info out.

There are no laws against drawing naughty pictures. That’d be the equivalent of thought crime, which you can’t do do in the US, bill of rights and all that.

Edit: Oh it’s you Jabby, you’re British. But yeah free speech in the US i.e. the first amendment extends towards drawing and writing about illegal poo poo. You can’t make putting a pen to paper illegal in the US.

Now you can’t incite violence where it might immediately happen, like holding a rally in the town square and saying “we should kill all the minorities like those ones right there” that would be consider inciting an “imminent act” but you could write a newspaper column saying the same thing.
