While many might have come to creating their art in a non-NSFW-context first, you can’t do any sort of erotic content if you’re not into it. It just doesn’t work. I can create any form of SFW content without my heart being behind it, but porn and such will just not be appealing without a tad of your own feelings.
So “that’s where the money was” cannot be the full story.
Thanks for the praise :) I got some deepthroating and/or feeding in other comics here and there, yes. My newest one will contain a fair bit of that… If I ever get around to finish it :P
That’s some aesthetic shit right there
hey there! Thank you very much for reaching out :) I love talking about my hobby, yet, most of my viewers aren’t too talkative (comes with the topic I guess…)
Regarding AI: It can be really cool to generate single images, yet it’s terrible at doing exactly what you want, so doing comics with it is a massive and frustrating undertaking of hours and hours of trial and error. So, it’s no good to actually do something more than one or two images.
Where it excels is creating stock-art that would be rather time-consuming to create otherwise but was used for one or two images in a comic, so no one bothered. I mean pictures of scenery or something. Before AI, you told your readers that your comic was set in some deep forest, now you can have an illustration of such a forest in minutes. That’s what I use AI for. You can look at my latest prelude-comics for examples: https://for-science.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Page_002-scaled.jpg
Since I do 3d Comics, order is a huge deal for me and dealing with uploading services that don’t give a toss about that and then had me give a toss about their TOS, this is a huge deal for me. How many images you’d say is “within reason”?
I don’t do hentai per se, I do 3d renders. Yet, I started out with 3d stuff specifically because it was a way to bring fantasies to live. I do my art for the same reason many people play adult video games: It’s my way of enjoying digital art in an interactive way, interacting with the things my brain can come up with that cannot (and/or should not) ever be done in a real porn setting with actors. It’s fun to express even those sorts of fantasies that would have been rightfully banned to the back of my head otherwise.
I always had a passing interest in 3d art and such, yet it was the NSFW-part that really kept and keeps me going most of the time.
Writing short stories was always a hobby of mine, so I kind of fused the two and started doing comics.
