Hey guys. I'm a lewd artist who

a) got buttfucked by tumblr
b) got buttfucked by patreon
c) got buttfucked by paypal

I'm extremely nervous and freaking the fuck out. I was working on adult games mainly, and in the process learned to code and do simple 3d assets.

I have amassed a small portfolio of low poly 3d pieces, with very beautiful high quality handpainted textures.

My question is, if I put that stuff on a nice website (and fartstation) and send out some emails, is it possible to get hired relatively quickly? Does that actually ever happen?

I need to start setting up an alternative non-nsfw source of income if I want to stay self employed (and fucking pronto). The alternative is working at the fish factory, but I'd rather become a hobo desu.

Please halp

I can, and I will. But my traffic has dropped to around 15% of what it used to be early november. I was already wondering what was going on as I usually get a steady stream of commissions but that suddenly stopped as they came from tumblr-traffic. Now tumblr anounced they will purge all nsfw content mid december. In the long run I figured it would also be a good idea to start doing 3d art on the side as another 'safe' source of income. I was/am actually a fulltime self employed lewd artists.

Maybe it really is time to get a job though.

I want your low poly assets.
My adult game is finished coding/ character pipeline is sorted.
Need environment assets now.

How can i contact you/ get your shit.

Also as another anon said the models no the textures yes.
But don't be worried about using what you already have, don't waste work.
If someone spots models you made in an adult game and you have those models posted on a store for sale it's your excuse no matter what.
You don't have control over what customers use your assets for. GL

Yeah, it's pretty fucked. Lots of artists freaking out and even if tumblr isn't an artists main platform, it's shown me that self employment isn't really 'independant' either. Platforms or even google can fuck you over super hard.

>>653840

What country is that? Considering my 2d art skills I'm pretty confident I could also get a job at a game company in my country. But I love the home office life. I definitely do expect big bucks starting out. If I can make $100-$200 per day I'm more than happy. In a day I can model and texture maybe 2-3 simple assets like bushes, barrels, crates, trees etc (no rgging or animating). Would that rate be somewhat realistic?

>>653841

Neat! I hope to have an artstation up within a day or two. Atm I have one pretty nice looking bench (stone and wood for the planks (pic related, also so you can get an idea of what my handpainted textures look like), a mace with nails sticking out (fantasy style weapon), and a set of shrubs, bushes flowers and trees in a cohesive style (they look a bit like enviro assets out of league of legends style wise.

Here are some options for you I came up with when I tried to make a plan for myself:

1st option
keep doing what you were doing on https://fantia.jp which is japanese patreon, so you need to censore your art

2nd option
work toward releasing your adult game on places like steam, nutaku.net for the uncensored content, or dlsite and similar for the censored.

3rd option
migrate your nsfw content to sites like newgrounds, hentai-foundry, post even on boorus, pornhub, naughty machinema, iwara, make your own website. Keep creating nsfw content and expanding your fanbase, while at the same time using patreon, subscribestar to earn money with sfw posts e.g. your >low poly 3d pieces, with very beautiful high quality handpainted textures
just make sure your fans know that by them giving you money for sfw, they indirectly support the nsfw that is posted for free

4th option
wait for sponsorion.com


I advise doing a mix of the above options.
good luck

Very interesting. I wonder how long something like that would last though. These "fully neutral!" platforms always run into some kind of controversy that results in:
1) them entirely backpedalling and adding a ton of restrictions that go against their "core values" (patreon and relevantly tumblr)
2) them sticking to their guns but getting shunned by mainstream providers so fucking hard it's near impossible for them to even continue existing (gab)
Still, not saying that I don't have faith in something like this. Been looking to get on this lucrative digital porn industry and something like this is wonderful news amongst all the other nonsense happening to other platforms. Thanks for sharing, anon.

>> No.653859

I believe in them because they stay out of the gray are, and are aiming for money processing with EmerchantBroker which deals in adult transactions.

Granted, I'm underpaid as fuck, like 10-20 times less than I ought to be, but still, I'm just starting out (and I'm pretty fucking good, that's why I get to put my hands on the characters). And I can tell with 100% certainty that you would look like a fucking casual shitter compared to me.
What makes you think you're just gonna get that kind of cash with some cheap environment porn assets in your 'folio and no experience? Get in fucking line, kid. You'll be lucky if anyone even looks at your crap.
You wanted to make quick cash with porn? Sorry you didn't break it like that one furfaggot who became a millionaire by barely knowing how to slap vertices together in Blender, you got buttfucked?

Are you trolling or something? Those are triangulated quads, they won't be causing any shading or deformation issues. You can also animate/deform them without any issues. All models are getting triangulated in game engines. Triangles are also fine on flat surfaces that won't get smoothed.

I have no advice to give, only that at least your pic related looks really good. I find that style so cute and nifty and the fact that it's low poly is even better. If I was working on a game with that kind of style I'd DEFINITELY hire you anon.

Actually, here's a suggestion though. It's not the best source of income and the "game" is ridiculous (and so are its mechanics/performance), but you can try Second Life. Making your shit and selling it. They also allow adult stuff.

Or partnership with another creator and paint their items, because your painting/texturing is really good anon.

Lewd artist, how long you been doing it? You should have built up a fanbase if you been doing it for more than a year.

My advice, get a normal job and work on your 3d skills. Pick up substance painter and designer, learn to make characters if you have a background in anatomy.

You can make money off patreon just need to up your game.Also, why your not making characters if your making an adult game.
