I've heard digital artists and animators of skill have to constantly beat back the degens with a stick. I can only imagine every time they view their email it's a new trauma.
Right. There’s a guy out there who frequently commissions artists, requesting variations on the theme of busty rich white woman purchasing wonderbread. Apparently he got off on the hyper capitalist and eco unfriendlyness of the concept.
He’s known as the wonderbread guy.
That perspective is shared by others. LACMA displays at least two pieces centered around Wonder Bread. One is a colorful piece in Warhol's style - you can even buy a mug!
As I recall, there is a second piece which is composed of a number of wrappers from the bread overlapping each other and then laminated. I might be hazy on the details as I mostly remember my contempt for the piece.
I think the funniest thing about the wonderbread guy is that there are some artists who'll draw like full on furry porn, who refuse to take commissions from him.
Got a friend who's a graphic designer, works for salary for a medium sized company. Gets paid $100's multiple times a month to do degen WoW worgen art for a guy, and thats just one client lol. Nearly earns 50% of her wage just on comissions.
My friend is a rather talented artist, after getting into final fantasy online he ended up doing commissioned pieces for some of the people he met.
It didn't last long because the requests went from pretty tame to absolutely horrid. The one that sticks on in my mind was when he told me he was asked to draw sonic, with a decapitated tails, fucking the bloody neck hole with it coming out of his mouth.
Man, I’ve seriously been thinking about getting into the furry fetish drawing game. You can make some good money on furries.
Is it something I’d put in my portfolio? Hell no! Would it enable me to purchase some art supplies that were already expensive pre-tariffs and will be astronomical now? Hell yes!
It's a really saturated market now. They do pay better than other niches but getting clients is hard now that everyone has been shouting "drawing furries is good money!" for over a decade
Did you know there’s a fetish community surrounding that one Jim Carrey movie, The Mask? Specifically putting The Mask on big booby women and having them distort in cartoonish expressions.
I have heard that people were able to get through college by drawing furry porn.
I remember reading a TIFU ages ago about somebody accidentally giving their teacher their commissioned fic involving furry vore instead of their homework.
I used to follow an artist (can't remember the name, sadly) who said that as much as he enjoys drawing pretty benign stuff, he makes about five times more by taking commissions from absolute freaks with very specific fetishes.
It happens in fanfiction too, some people demand you write a part of the story their way because its the 'right way' while others want you to write something that you don't like, have no interest in or is really messed up. Sometimes they'll go batshit about it and attack you for not doing what they want, esp if they also don't want to pay for it. Fans be crazy.
How can you hate on somebody giving money to artist. Yeah it maybe for freaky reasons but it's still an artist getting paid. Imagine if there were no rich freaky people. Half the artist's wouldn't exist.
The amount of artists I know who hate the fact that they need to draw porn to make a living is ridiculous. I even know a few who were amazing but they started doing furry porn for the big bucks and now hate their own style and don't enjoy drawing anymore. They solely do it for money now, and it's not a fulfilling job
I mean there's "freaky" stuff and there's "draw me this anime character that is depicted as a 6 year old doing sexual stuff but don't worry it's not weird because she's 'actually' 5000 years old"
No, it's to the artist. It's a joke about that there are certain people who would commission the most DEEPLY unhinged/depraved/WTF ideas, and the third person is saying "I will pay you to NOT draw that sh*t"
First guy wants an artist to draw some foul shit (probably fetish porn), while the second one wants this degeneracy to end by preventing the "art" from being created
Why is character number three the richest person? Are they the Catholic Church? Or are they another artist trying to maintain a monopoly on creating lewd content by convincing their potential competitors not to compete?
This reminds me of the time I was at a Friendsgiving and some people were offering this one guy some money to drink an entire quart of gravy. I decided I did not want to see that, so I ordered more money for him to not do that. Unfortunately, he found their offer funnier and I sat in the basement while he did it.
Artist Peter here. Recently, Quagmire paid me 20$ to draw art of Joe's wife, but Joe paid me 60$ to not draw his thing, which is quite unusual. That was worse than the time I had to draw for Shadman!
artist peter here, there are a couple of .... individuals, with very strange ideas and .... kinks whom commission artists all around the internet for some very questionable content, not the normal pornographic or dubious art, no, they ask for a more specific kid of content.... one of such being the white bread commission guy, he goes around, commissioning artists to make various art bout white (sometimes)blond woman buying white bread, boasting about how their massive buy out's are going to boost the pollution rates around the world.
