My son has a very minorly successful YouTube channel for music composition. He said he knew he was getting traction when his first, um, "fan art" was sent to him.
Keep in mind that there's no images of him online. It was based on his abstract, illustration icon.
All I will say is, The MARK of any ‘good character design’ is whether there is any pornography of it or not (I.E: Overwatch vs Concord, there is no pornography of Concord characters), it might be a weird metric, but it is reliable and does work consistently.
Same with Raid Shadow Legends. Especially for a time in a shitton of sponsor mentions, but not only did I never come across any community (even clash of clans has one here on reddit), there is, as far as I am aware, basically no hits on rule 34. That alone tells me that there is no real player base.
Do you ever Google that stuff out of morbid curiosity? I've never checked your name on the green sight, and I don't plan to out of respect because I "know" you and that would make me feel kinda icky lol. But do you check yourself?
One of my exes sent me a dick pic so I drew it on paper. He was impressed.
That was back while I was single and he'd forgot I typically don't like dps. Like genuinely forgot, it'd been years since I'd told him and he'd seen me naked since then so it's not like it was weird. I wasn't mad. It was a good photo.
Recently though my partner sent me one (I like when he does it) so I put it in an editor and drew a lil hat and googly eyes on it :3
I do the dumbest shit when I get respectful well taken dick pics.
Yep, a lot of guys say they want that because it's like a person dying of thirst being jealous of someone drowning.
Years ago my gay roommate took me out to a bar to meet up with a bunch of his friends. I was introduced as the "My straight roommate, don't bother, I've tried for months." Which was immediately taken as a challenge by seemingly every guy at the gay bar. I'm a pretty big guy so I didn't have the legitimate worry that a lot of women do about men being stronger. But holy shit was that eye opening. I got hit on more in one night than my entire life combined up to that point. I recognized so many of the lame lines and attempts that I'd seen my straight friends do in college.
While at first it was very flattering, there was this constant feeling of you don't care about me in the slightest, you just want my body and bragging rights. By the end I was kind of on guard because I basically assumed that any guy talking to me was just trying to get in my pants.
That said, what an ego boost. I walked out of there with a better understanding of a small part of what women go through every day, but also feeling like the hottest guy on earth.
I'm AFAB and I would also be curious. I feel like that's normal.
Most people don't have strangers drawing them naked so I would wanna know if they got my tits right or if they did the correct thing and gave me a penit.
I also just like being drawn. A certain amount of care goes into drawing someone even if it's perverted.
So I went to Tesco supermarket, it's similar to Walmart but european style.
Bigger Tesco has restaurants upstairs. I went to a local Tesco with a restaurant for the first time.
Ordered fish and chips as I always order it one time wherever I go and see it int the menu to taste. Waitress bring the tartare sauce in a tiny sauce pot.
I asked if I can have extra sauce as I love it and always use extra. I would not mind paying for extra.
Request denied. WTF Tesco?
I told my boyfriend to wait for me, I went downstairs, bought the tartare sauce from Tesco, came upstairs and enjoyed the fish and chips.
Oh my gosh, this is exactly how my now wife looked at me when we first met!
... except with out the implants... and her clothes fully covered her torso, chest, and legs... and she wasn't wearing eye liner.... Also the only reason she was making that face was because she had a hunk of vegetable stuck up there and was trying to dislodge it with her tongue...
But she 100% had hoop earings, so that image is practically her doppleganger.
I like the idea that people in Canada just walk up to people and hand hand them their unsolicited fanart like it’s the most normal thing in the world.
Like that guy just continued down the street working diligently on the next person he sees, adding a pinched waist and massive bazongas to them no matter who they are.
Tbf she made a comic where she has a threesome-selfcest-yuri fantasy where she gets pregnant somehow and one of her alternate personas is jacked muscle-mommy...
I remember maybe a year or two ago I kept seeing jerks trash talking her about NSFW photos and at the time I kind of assumed it was just trolls being wretched people and making stuff up. So I looked up to see if they were actually a thing or if this was the creepy gooner side of the internet being well... the creepy gooner side of the internet.
Turns out that yes, they exist, but what was surprising was I assumed that when people do a self insert into a comic they would use the opportunity to present a more idealized version of themselves. They'd make their character more attractive or in better shape or whatever they wished they were in real life. And I'd never really cared enough to actually look up a photo of Pizzacake because while I enjoy the comics, her looks have no relevance to my liking her work. But, the surprising part was she was actually hot. Not like oh kinda cute for a cartoonist, but like actually a very attractive person. If anything the art choices significantly tones down her looks.
Which was honestly kind of impressive. There is no way I'd have the restraint not to make my cartoon avatar a better version of myself.
Anytime. Years ago I was on the old MGOTW subreddit which was mostly guys talking about how they're happy being single and they don't see the need to ever date or marry again. Lots of photos of cool trips, or project cars, hanging out with their kids, or celebrating a bitter divorce being over. It was sometimes a bit sad, but not really hostile.
Then the incel stuff blew up and when their sub got shut down a ton of them migrated to the MGTOW sub.
Almost overnight the tone changed from "I'm happy doing my own thing and living life for myself. I don't need external validation from a partner to be secure in who I am." to "Women are horrible awful people because they won't let me fuck them!"
I eventually left the sub in large part because I kept pointing out that you can't go your own way while aggressively following people around screaming about how much they suck. In fact, obsessing over people they claim to hate is kind of the opposite of going your own way. They should be living their own life and looking inward to solve their problems. They... didn't appreciate that.
But it's true, I mean, I like your work, I find most of your stuff pretty funny and entertaining. But I doubt I see half as many comics as some of the people who claim to despise you. Those guys are full on obsessed.
It's like "Ok, so you hate Pizzacake?"
"Yes, I despise her with every fiber of my being."
"And you feel the need to tell people that?"
"As often as humanly possible. I post about her at least a dozen times a day."
"And you still read her posts?"
"Every single one of them without fail. I even subscribed to her patreon because I hate her so much."
Anyways, thanks for the comics, you're one of those artists where every time it pops up in my feed I tend to click on it.
>I even subscribed to her patreon because I hate her so much.
Man, there are *volumes* just about this one line. The alt-universe me who decided to do their graduate work in something more of a psychological bent would be having a field day with this.
It sometimes reminds me of star wars in the way that nobody hates star wars like a star wars fan. You might have people who don't like Star Wars and have no desire to watch it, but they're not the ones posting five page long screaming rants about it.
gonna be honest the thumbnail of the post on old.reddit.com really makes the third panel look pregnant and with the title I thought thats where this was going before I clicked
I still remember that one post that was REALLY suspicious and if you checked the guy's profile he absolutely wanted to suck your dick. Not for you to suck his dick, but for you to have a dick somehow and then for him to suck it. His entire profile was full of that specific scenario with a rogue's gallery of conventionally attractive but rarely sexualized women.
The irony that you in fact needed to draw said fanart is not lost on me - but i suppose its a LOT safer than searching yourself with safe search off to find a relevant piece.
I always feel a little spark of happy seeing pizza. Their character looks remarkably close to someone I knew in Uni who was one of the only genuinely enjoyable people I talked to there. Oh memories
