Having a tough time deciding on a pen name for lewd art.

I'm at the point where I'm okay enough to earn a few bucks on simple stuff and quite a few miles away from really high end stuff.

I can't decide on a name/alias for lewd art.

On one hand, I want to use my real name because I just want to draw and to not care about what my fake name is on the internet. I fear if I choose a name I don't like, I might one day get dissatisfied with it, want to change it, and then anyone who follows my stuff has to find a new name.

On the other hand, I fear if I use my real name, it might limit the sorts of requests I'm willing to take on (I might be afraid to put my real name on some really nasty stuff). I don't want to feel limited as to what requests I can I fulfill because I'm still new enough that I can't be picky and I really do want to actually make money.

There's also the problem that if I choose a pen name and I make something I really like under that name, it becomes difficult for me to share that with people I know in real life since they'll easily see the other really explicit things I've been up to.

How have people here on /ic/ navigated this? What sort of advice would you have for me? I just want to draw and I'm really bad when it comes to overthinking nonsense like this.

Take a word. Lets go with "Butterfly"
>Butterfly

Change said word a bit. I removed "Ter"
>Butfly

Change again. I appended "-ext" to T
>Butextfly

Let's keep editing the word a few times
>Buxtfly
>Buxfleny

Now we have "Buxfleny", a unique-sounding word. Do it with a different word, or take it; I don't really care.

And realize that "NSFW pen names" don't exist. Just names. Apple, Ford, Target, Best Buy, Shell, and many others don't give any hint as to what they do.
What you do with your name is what matters.

- Coomers aren't human who cares if you get harassed?
- Make an unwatermarked version of your drawing and then you can show it to everyone by sending them the file directly instead of your Twatter. Mirror it for good measure;
- Your name is now SlumberShoes, welcome.

One of my friends used their real name for all their art and comissions.
They later changed it because if they were ever to get into the professional biz as they want to it would suck to search their name and see that they used to make a living drawing hyper furries for 30 bux a piece every day.
It pays well but its not something to put on a resume.

Just remember that whatever name you choose, people WILL recognize your art eventually. For example, "Tatsubon" the author of fluffy yuri " Tadokoro-san" turned out to be a depraved hentai artist with a futa fetish

This. I mean, the guy who designed the characters for Lilo and stitch draws porn and nude pinups all the time. The blonde lifeguard girl in the movie was actually a character from his lewds. And he drew all his lewds and Disney stuff under his real name like a real man. Nobody gives a fuck about it either.

I'm dying laughing at the fact that the first "degenerate" thing you though of is furry.
Nobody aside from out of touch people or prudes would give a flying fuck about furry porn unless it was straight up feral or cub, or was attached to something weird like glowing genitals or was rendered uncomfortably realistically

Just use your real name for SFW stuff and use your name spelled backwards for porn.

Or just go all in, disregard what plebs think about you drawing porn for cash and publish everything under your own name.

i know some guys who uses their real names, based as fuck, they just don't put the complete name i mean the letter by letter, because doesnt look very appealing if your name is boring. So if your name is... let's say in spanish "José Carrasco Muñoz" you put Jose C. or "José C.M" or in english like those presidents; George Walker Bush is "George W. Bush" or you could put "W. Bush".
Also using your name with somekind of creativity is more ok with your inner self, so later there is less chance that the name you use will dislike you over time

Please don't use a full-blown fantasy name. I forgot so many artists because their name was just some weird gibberish name you would give your Skyrim character. Just pick to two words and combine them.

It should be impossible for someone to find this site and be unable to read or know how the internet works.

Yeah, I chose a random name from a song title for an old song I like. Just keep it short and sweet and unique enough that you don't have to use numbers. Nobody cares and a few weeks after choosing it neither will you.

Take your initials
Reverse them
Turn them into letters/numbers that look similar (5 to S, O to C, etc.)
Extrapolate something dumb from there

The One True Chad move is to go public using your real name; stop trying to hide/disassociate your NSFW stuff because it will just get you into trouble later.

You could try a combo of your real name and a pen name, list your art as created by your pen name and reveal yourself as the pen name elsewhere.
While people will be able to see who the artist is if they research it, your name won't be readily available to everyone who is just looking at your art

Bro I have changed my name like 3 times now, and each of my blogs is under a different one because one costs money to change, and another cannot be changed whatsoever.
The boorus that have my art on them don't even use my most recent one as a tag.
Worst part is, I want to change it again because it's fucking retarded and hard to remember (just some gibberish that's hard to pronounce). It's not even spe ial or meaningful to me so idk why the fuck I decided on it. At points I just want to delete all my shit and restart as someone else.

TL;DR make a name that is easy to remember and pronounce, and make sure you can REALLY fucking stick with it cause changing it a year in will only bring confusion.

Pen names don't mean shit. If you post porn on a pseudonym, and post sfw shit on your real name, the autists of the internet WILL figure it out eventually. They will compare your style to other similar artists until they find your sfw account.

It's inevitable. They will find you. It's best to just be open about it and have separate accounts but link to each other.

Unless someone has a comprehensive study measuring what average people think of furry art this will ultimately just be your opinion against theirs.
