Okay, I usually don't do journals on any website at all, but since I post art pieces here, I have to say this.
So weeks ago, a friend of mine was suggesting to be on doing Rated M and Rated A art content as a way to do commissions and shit like that. And I told her that it's something I usually don't do too often for 3 reasons.
1. I am capable of creating such content and present to the mature/adult audience, but it leaves me with a rather nervous feeling as I am afraid of being labeled as another "pervert" by others. Frankly, it's tough to explain this without someone dismissing my side of the story.
2. Like I said, it leaves me with some feelings of anxiety to know that people WILL judge me if I were to create such vulgar things. So it's not just be judged of doing this that worries me; it's the fear of being labeled as some "hentai" guy or some shit. And honestly, I hate that shit.
3: I've been looking at the way I draw my characters a lot lately after my discussion with my friend and she does make a good point on two things. One is that artists are given large amounts of money doing other people's requests. This is can be seen as a good thing...if they can met the client's expectations. And two: the way I draw, to me, has the capability to be apart of both the normal art I do AND the mature art world. I know I can do both, but it's that fear of being labeled is what holds me back. It's nerve-wrecking,and quite honestly, horrifying to see who follows my art profile shun and get pissed at me for making this decision. And yes, I am aware of DeviantArt's rules and rating scale.
So this is why I'm going to ask those who read this entry this question (and I might put up a poll or somethin'.):
Should I draw and submit mature/adult content, balancing my normal art pieces with this new adult/mature content from now on?
Comment your opinion and answer as soon as you can. I'm a patient man, And I'll listen to what you have to say.

Update #3
I can explain for my absence, despite no one reading this. But the reason for being absent is due to me working on commissions and my own manga projects. So...I guess whenever I do a picture or some sketch dumps, I'll post them here and on my own Tumblr.
So yeah...I'll do my best to post more.

Update #2
Startin' to collab with my homie, Crax Vangogh.
Plus, this is a good way for me to practice the whole anthro thing. So yeah there's that. How to pieces will be sorted
will be like this: for any collab piece I do with my homie, I'll place it in a "Collab" folder. That way it'll be easier for ya'll to
find and view these pieces easier.
So give my girl some lovin' and support. She's crazy, helping, and funny as hell.

Bound To My Future, Or Fallin' Deep to Failure.
Seeing how I been absent for a while, I guess I can say that many things been happening in my own head and all that.
To be honest, it's my fault for not managing my time properly. I'm just so deep in thought of what the hell I'm going to be in the
future. Family questioning why I haven't gotten a job and all that...and honestly, I fear that I'll lose my motivation to create
art. And I don't want that. It's just...I have so many ideas and so many plans that it's something big that my own head can't
contain the amount of art and projects I want to do. I'm that kind of guy.
But real life is just that merciless and will demand you to d
Update #1
So this is the first time I'm actually doing updates, considering I've been inactive for quite some time now. So here's the reason why.
I'm in the progress of making some wicked comics for my DA and possibly publishing on other sites for others to read. Three in total. 2 will be original and one will be a fan comic with my own story that is separate from the main. Hence, the reason why I've been inactive; I've been busy making the characters, writing and such. And keep in mind that I'm doing this all by myself, with the exception of one original, I have a team for that.
And that ends update #1. I'll see you guys later.
Ciao!

Yeah, I say go for it ^^ If its a way to get money then I see no problem, you can have your own folder for it or something
It'll draw in a different crowd maybe but you should try not to worry about being "labelled", I know personally I wouldn't and I'm sure others will think the same ^^
