sometimes people will pay you a ridiculous amount of money for little to no content, like Aaron Diaz. but that's pretty rare and Diaz still complains about it like a huge baby.

Avshalom posted:I have trouble with pre-censorship too. From the moment I sit down and my pen touches the tablet, I'm thinking, "Is this decent? Does this concept deserve to be expressed?" As the nib traces the supple curves of my character's fine and fruitful body and my erection quietly swells I wonder, "Am I contributing to the plot with this intense and unapologetic nudity? How does this character's bulging scrotum define his personality? Are these rosy nipples a metaphor for something?" Is this art? Is this a cultural event? Every comic page is an education, a revelation, a red-hot orgasm. How can I deliver yet more nudity into a world already saturated with the wonders of the human figure? Everywhere I turn, another sculpted buttock vies for my attention. Bosoms wobble and pulse, their lines gilded by sunlight. Rigid cocks bristle in the shadows. I reach under the desk and stroke myself thoughtfully as I ponder the dilemma: should I make my character wear clothes or not? Would this scene be better if he were naked? Would the emotional thrust be increased if she was being railed with multiple monstrous vibrators? Will I be slandered all over the internet for offering a tantalising glimpse of exquisitely groomed pubic hair? The drawing unfolds before me and in my agony I erupt like a Krakatoa of cum. There they are! The breasts! My anguish, my ecstacy, my artistic vision, all are unveiled at last. My soul is bared online for all to see, to speculate over, to analyse both intellectually, with their minds, and sexually, with their hands and cocks. I post a link to the update on my Facebook and my mother says it's "interesting." same

yeah chances are people aren't going to give a poo poo unless you're a big name, and if that's the case then you will get called out and either ignore it or hopefully learn something from it also if you're so dead set on a character being nude all the time why not just go into a genre where it makes sense, like porn comics? I honestly don't understand...no one is stopping you, follow your dreams Troposphere fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Jul 24, 2015 |

I don't really know if it works much in the meek anyways (or if anything works much in the meek since it's in apparent permanent limbo) but Angora is never really hyper sexualized or male-gazey, her genitals are usually covered by framing tricks or when she starts wearing pants and her nipples aren't super detailed. it's really all about taste levels imo

Scribblehatch posted:Censorship and precensorship could indeed be too specific. I didn't mean to make it literally about Lassie's puppies. The analogy is to be adjusted for inflation. I was thinking about the aspect of 'kneejerk' itself. what are you even talking about you haven't said what content is making people have a knee jerk reaction and maybe we could understand what you're saying if you did? are your friends scared because they have boobies in their comics, or violence, or what? you're being super vague and it's just confusing...

I still can't get over that guy probably spent 12 hours rendering Elsa's labia just so he could paint over it I don't know if I've ever spent that much time drawing an under sketch for a piece and he's saying it's time efficient the mental gymnastics required for these series of events is blowing my mind

Szmitten posted:And I kinda wish people didn't dogpile Scribblehatch because a) the poo poo you're talking about isn't even in the comic, and b) you are aware that nudism is a real thing that exists that real people do who would give you an earful for thinking their lifestyle choice was sexual or something to be ashamed of? And if he goes in that direction anyway and it clearly isn't cheesecake or pornographic (which I find rich considering the self-pub thread is nothing but) then who gives a poo poo? He's never the one mentioning it. if his art wasn't cheesecakey in the first place I wouldn't have said anything and he has been incredibly stubborn about it and only replies selectively so it's impossible to have an actual conversation with him

I've made some decent money doing cons and I just do prints and tshirts at the moment. commissions are also good money. the definite main reason to go is to network and hand out your business cards to absolutely everyone and talk to people in the industry. you're kind of paying for the privilege to do that. got my first real comic job that way. the whole idea behind art being a thing you can make it off of just your online presence is a very new idea. some people may be able to do that but to think everyone can and will is pretty naive. it's a big rear end art ocean out there and you need to take advantage of every possibility you have and sell yourself whenever you can. meeting people in person makes a huge difference.

someone tells you want they want you to draw, you draw it and usually give it to them before the con is over. I usually price my stuff around $30-$40 flat rate with an extra $10 for more characters which is fairly pricy for a con if you're not well known(you're gonna be competing with other unknowns charging like $5 a piece because people undersell themselves. big names will go up to $100 a piece) but people pay it and I make the pieces big and detailed and I haven't had a dissatisfied customer yet. uninked sketch stuff usually goes for less.
