I started as a regular artist and had a dream to work in a videogame industry. Worked few years but it quickly became super boring. If it's not an interesting indie game (that allows you to draw cool stuff) - it's pretty much not worth your time.

Now i do nothing but porn and i love it. I love to express human sexuality and embrace it. I use skills i got when i was working with tight deadlines and rules. I have many ideas for upcoming lewd stuff.

But... i was always wondering - how other porn artists live and how they feel about it.
I guess right now we have many porn artists that are close to 25-30 years old because most of us started back in early 10s and they fully established now.

Tell your story and discuss this questionable artist-path here. How did you became porn artist. How do you see yourself in a 10 years.

As you see by the OP-pic im a bara artist. I kind of happy about that because its much more safe to be a bara artist than a regular hetero-artist.
We even have artists like Nesskai (he draws hairy dudes and has a NSF blog and twitter) that manage to do both - porn and work for Blizzard projects like Overwatch.
So i can say that being a porn artist wont hurt your career. And it could never do that honestly.
I remember back in 2008 one client that worked with me opened my server folders out of curiosity and found my nsfw stuff - it didnt affect anything and we continued working even if i was working on a cartoony game.
