Can we reopen QCS so I can go back to ignoring these stupid bullshit slapfights and we can have this thread go back to posting about Butt Greedos and how disappointed we are they never posted the damned photo of the Hans Liszt?

It's a difficult thing to figure out how to monetise, to be fair. You need to gouge people ridiculously but make it believable.

Ghost Leviathan posted:It's a difficult thing to figure out how to monetise, to be fair. You need to gouge people ridiculously but make it believable. That's why you should always go into home decor and furniture where metal items are common-ish and "fancy" and a couple hundred for something mass-produced that isn't second-hand is "cheap". If all else fails you can still bank it teaching blacksmithing classes, where you can get away with charging a hundred or so for an hour of your time and enough material to make say a brooch or ring.

The trick to making money off these skills is to network with restorers, architects & bespoke furniture makers etc. so they pass your details on to clients. Restoration especially is great because there really are only a handful of people who can do the work and clients tend to be more concerned with authenticity than price.

I thought Arivia showed remarkable self understanding (earlier in this thread, perhaps) when she said that now that fishmech was permabanned, she would be the poster it would be most irritating to agree with. Edit: the m'larder goon saga is amazing and I definitely was not expecting that twist at the end!

Coolness Averted posted:Wait what happened with beer being demodded in tg? I just assumed it was politics nerds being mad the dude who only knew about painting toys knew nothing about politics but still wanted to talk about them. Beer probably stepped down. D&D (the debate one) posters dug up an old and insanely bad post Beer had made six months ago in the TG thread that's about swapping warnings about which Warhammer fans/third party mini crafters are crypto-fascists and discussing examples of good progressive tabletop game devs. There was blowback around his behavior in the thread when it happened to the point where Beer had demanded it be taken to QCS back then: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3890953 and the resolution to that thread seemed to mostly be a shrug and that Beer would butt out of the one thread. I don't really think it's a saga but I'm not surprised it boiled over again since it never felt like anything was properly addressed or any positive change came out of it. Beer should've definitely stepped down back then if he couldn't handle that thread and obviously was still bumbling around elsewhere.

Yeah no that's a solid drat job and people make bank drawing for the furry community. It just requires you to deal with people with very specific taste that pay well for the exact specs they ask for. It's easier to earn a living drawing furry porn then it is to be altright

One of my trans friends said the same thing from a con she went to. Alot of furries are people that found an identity that let them fully express themselves, and a community that doesn't stigmatize them for well, being LGBT + liking to be in a fursuit. Tons of people in that community are LGBT. Honestly who gives a poo poo what they do it's great they found people that do like them and care. Which is what everyone deserves  Cept babyfurs. Those specifically because of the Seattle cons they uh, well by god that was nuts. But people that dress up as babies and poo poo themselves to leave wet diapers everywhere are goddamn weird

shadowcatboy was one of this site's few loud-and-proud furries and he turned out to be a sexual predator so, contrasts there was also literal nazi furry, who was, uh, that, though it was before ironic nazism became the real thing on a worldwide scale
