Another month has gone by and with it the new sketches. And truth to be told, they were the best so far as I can tell.
I'd like to share something with you all. Today was a bad day :/
I woke up with a terrible feeling, with something I suppose it's the worst nightmare for an artist. I've got doubts regarding what I'm doing. I know that the anatomy in my drawings is far from perfect and my painting skills needs to be developed further...even so, I love what I do. Nevertheless, it always bum me out when I see the awesome drawings done by other artists and I can't help but feeling bad.
I tried to talk with an artist friend and then he gave me his advice, making me feel even more confused. He told me that I should give up on my fetiches, "do something new and aim for something more professional, you won't live off from commissions your entire life."
I know he's right, at least a bit....but I always work off thinking: "do this because you love it, don't change to please others".
Another dear friend of mine told me that he's worried, thinking that I'll end up wasted and hating my own job because I'm working and drawing too much, meaning I will lose the joy that I feel when I draw.
I always try my best, even with my injured hands. But I can't lie, I get really scared when I think of the future. I've enlisted to some pc and adobe classes that might help me with my curriculum, but I'm afraid, I don't know if I'll be able to pay it to the end. I'll keep up my patreon work and your monthly sketches, hoping that it'll help me to pay all of my expenses, but I'm still afraid.
Next year's gonna be tough. But I hope I'll manage to keep up my work and presente to you all the best that I can do, not being too fast, but always being my best for each and every one of you guys.
Thanks for making me love what I do, what I call my job. I'm really proud of it, even though there are people out there saying that "drawing porn isn't work". For those folks, I have only one thing to say: "SUCK MY FUCKING NIPPLES" :D
Once again, thanks for everything, guys. You're awesome.

2016-12-10 11:43:43 +0000 UTCMy recommendation is to put up a tip jar. I think many of your Patreons would occasionally donate to it (I would), so that you can get paid a little more, and hopefully meet the financial needs of your classes.

2016-12-10 02:21:10 +0000 UTCI'm glad to hear that.
Mr.Cores
2016-12-10 02:20:21 +0000 UTCthank you . Is something to think about in the long run. The more it scares me to imagine that I can burn with people. I have no idea how this can happen.
Mr.Cores
2016-12-10 02:19:08 +0000 UTCobrigado man, obrigado por seu apoio
Mr.Cores
2016-12-10 02:17:38 +0000 UTCThere are plenty of artists who make their living off smut. Such as Kihu or cursedmarked. It's really all about networking and getting your name out there. For example you really should focus more on Advertising about your Patron exclusive comics and illustrations. That alone should be able to bring in plenty of new pledges. Heck you might not even need to do the monthly sketches anymore giving you much more time to work on the comics and your own personal projects. You are an amazing artist and you really inspire me. You have also given me a whole new appreciation for nipples :p

2016-12-10 01:05:54 +0000 UTCI think your friends gave you good and honest advice because they care about you and your well-being. You should do what puts a smile on your face Marlon, but definitely take some time to rest your hands! We're all here to support you.

2016-12-10 01:05:40 +0000 UTCIn portuguese to you understand it smoothly: Cara, ter medo do futuro é algo normal. Você ainda é jovem e ta indo atrás de outras coisas, e isso é muito bom! Mas se você curte desenhar, manda bala nisso. Não se diminua, você tem um grande talento. No futuro, mesmo se você não decidir trabalhar com porno, eu tenho certeza que você vai se dar bem. Tenho certeza também que todo mundo aqui te apoia porque acredita na sua arte, e vão continuar te apoiando, não importa qual seja sua decisão.
