Content

 I'm tired of feral MLP, that's for sure, it's boring and not challenging enough, I don't feel like I'm learning anything drawing such things. Ponies are boring to draw as fuck – it's basically a copy-pasted base with changed colors. Anthro stuff is much more challenging and the experience gain is much more valuable. Of course you can draw a more detailed anatomy but porn with anatomically correct and detailed horses is rather disgusting for me, so that's never gonna happen. 

I'm doing mostly anthro adult art lately and by adult I mean the overall feel, not the NSFW aspect. I like it but I guess people don't like it at all. Besides, sometimes, I would like to draw some stuff I used to do in the past but I'm struggling, because such mixture is not going to work – it's like a metal band suddenly releasing an EDM song – no matter how good the song is going to be, because the audience doesn't expect it from a metal band. 

I don't know where I should go with my art... I can't draw everything, I need to focus on one type of content. I have to produce unified content but in the same time I'd like to draw a lot of different stuff.

What's your favorite? Do you like the recent pieces? Or maybe you expect something simple like the semi-anthro thing I've posted few days ago? Both? Furry? Other characters?

I always had that idea of some sort of Lapfox clone. I feel like it's something I should do since I'm constantly struggling with "what should I draw...". 

A set of fictional characters being art avatars, each one creating a different type of content: one being a brony, one being a furry that hates bronies, one being a hybrid that likes both, one drawing more realistic things, other one for cartoon stuff etc. and all of them tied together in some place like some kind of an "art label" where they release their art. People wouldn't even have to know that it's all just the same person with different names. I see a lot of opportunities in such system – it's like an universe that's real, because these characters are real, they run their tumblr's, they talk with each other, they post stuff, they share their posts, they collab, some of them are friends while some hate each other etc.

It seems like a perfect fix of the problem and I feel like it would be an amazing idea but such thing requires a lot of thinking, planning and preparation. Also skill and creative work, since you have to produce content in many different styles under different aliases. 

If I'm going to do art in my life, that's how it's going to look like very likely but for now it's too much. I have to focus on learning, making money and producing content for people.

I'm still sketching stuff. I have some Dash and I've started working on Fleetfoot that's supposed to end as a fully finished piece hopefully.

I'll add my two bits but please keep in mind that is all it...my two bits (mostly worthless). I've actually never been particularly fond of feral pony art. Your art was the exception because your colors and textures were a cut above the rest. Your feral art was all I could appreciate however, the market pool is pretty much saturated and I completly understand you being bored and unchallenged by the content. You're in a time of change and I know you already know this but, you just won't be able to satisfy everyone. But here is the important part....that's okay! You need to make content that you enjou...if you're not enjoying it, your work will suffer and you will lose your audience. Your scenario right now more or less is: "Produce different content = lose my audience OR Produce content I don't like = be bored as hell and lose my audience". I can't stress this enough...who cares if you lose your audience? You need to enjoy the content you are producing, you need to conect to it somehow. There are a lot of successful furry artists right now who started as feral pony artists but are now doing exclusively anthro furry or even human art. I myself prefer anthro content...but that's just me. Many artistic career go through moments of flux. It could be caused by a shift in what the "it" thing is, or it could be caused by a change in personal perspective...the point is, it happens. In the end, it's your choice whether or not you grow from the change or not. Your work and your passion will be seen by your audience and by new fans. New fans...is what you're after, and they will only find you, with positively accepted change.

Pretty much what he said. You should draw what YOU want to draw and what YOU enjoy. Though I spent my time on the pony bandwagon I never had much interest in the NSFW side, but your art was a very rare exception. As said before your colors and textures were superb and very "you." And the overall content seemed more mature and less cheap porn. I always enjoyed your content for the art. I find it pleasing to look at despite what is being pictured. I'd say I'm rather excited if you plan on doing more anthro/furry stuff, I much prefer that anyway and if you take a liking to it I'd be glad to commission a thing or two.

They pretty much covered everything I would say/have for feedback. My personal preference is your feral pony art, but I love all your art be it furry/pony/human/etc. I support you because I like your art style overall and won't stop the support if you spice it up....or even completely change directions. Do what you love, draw what you feel will help improve your skill and keep things interesting. Other than commissions, definitely draw what keeps you from being bored. Your idea of "avatars" sounds interesting. You could give it a shot, but I feel like it would be better to keep all your awesome art under one name so people love you/follow you/support you for the single artist you are and everything you do. TLDR: I would like to see the type of content YOU want to draw and interests YOU most.

I like pretty much anything MLP related, but anthro is definitely my favourite, and I like anthro furry art, too. So I'd be pretty happy to see more anthro art from you.
