  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.

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 ^^
