Neil Gaiman posted this today.
My opinion is that it’s all about what tickles each artist.

I have worked with artists that were eager to redo a whole page after I told them to adjust a small detail that didn’t work narratively, just because they wanted that page to be better.
I also had the unfortunate bad luck of working with artists that wouldn’t redraw a boob in a sketch because I told them it looked too big and siliconized while said character asked for perky, small breasts and they didn't bother to rework on something they considered "good enough".

It all depends on how much passion an artist has for what he does.
The first guy is truly passionate about the work he's doing with me.
The second one is just trying to get a living by drawing smut.

I personally prefer to work with artist number one. But I have equal respect for both of them (although I would probably not hire artist number two again).

I definitely prefer passionate artists. And collaboration, to make something that is greater because of two or more people working together.

There is nothing wrong with making a living creating so-called "smut" (after all, today's "smut" is tomorrow's "conservative, artful erotica"). But if you're creating something as a collaboration with a partner, you HAVE TO adjust your work and be able to negotiate earnestly with your co-creator about the end product, or else you just prove to everyone that you're just a lazy, selfish a-hole hack. And saying something like "I just want to do it this way" or, "This is how I do it, deal with it" doesn't EVER even come close to true, fair negotiation; give REAL and CONCISE reasons/explanations or STFU and GTFO. P.S. *To make sure everyone has the right context of what I wrote, I must explain that I used the word "you" in here as the general "you", as in "anyone", NOT as the specific "you" to refer particularly in ANY way to Tracy Scops or anybody else who may read this; please do not confuse the two uses of the word "you" and take this writing as an attack on any specific person.*

I agree. And that's one of the main reasons I stop working with some artists I did comics with. Even when the resulting product is okay (or even good), the process is so stressful and frustrating that makes me want to avoid ever writing that person again.

Professionalism is important. But in my particular field of production, personal passion about the themes we're working with is fundamental. I'm quite amazed with how many artists I've worked with are embarrassed about working with explicit sex depiction. I mean, I can understand the need for a porn alias on the cover credits (it's a moralist world, after all), but it's worse than that. These people feel "tainted", like sex was some kind of disease that makes them nauseated. Once I understand that one of my artists feel like that, I'm more than happy to let them "cleanse" themselves, starting by not working with me again.

That black guy

I've worked with both on shorter projects than your usual ones a lot of th passionate ones really shine through in terms of willingness to go the extra mile when I ask for something basic. It's really amazing to work with them but then I have horror stories where it's clearly not what I asked and paid for but the person acts like they did, it's actually happened with an artist youve worked with, I however use a lot of different nicknames so I doubt they'd realize it was me.
