I know you're trying to be funny and meme, but I'm too agitated for that. It's so damn depressing to met somebody who think is cool and find out they waste their talent on meaningless lust-driven decadence. There's nothing wrong with porn, but most artists my age are OBSESSED with it, it comprises 90% of everything they draw.

I didn't know it was that serious.
I feel you, though I'm on the other side. I like to draw lewd pictures, but the sentiment of wasting my talent time on meaningless lust-driven decadence always lingers. I deal with this internal conflict by trying my best to make my drawings interesting and tasteful.

Everything is wrong with porn. I avoid watching it since it floods my visual memory until I'm unable to put feelings into my female characters as they turn into inanimate sex objects. Porn is literal degeneracy pushed by politicians to lower the testosterone levels of the mass.

I know how you feel. seeing an artist who can draw fighter jets with autistic precision only for them to be drawn as LEWD AIRPLANES UWU is among one of the most rage inducing things i'd ever laid eyes on. It's the prime definition of wasted talent.
It's kinda predictable that horny youfs would draw a lot of porn. but my god is it irritating.
there are serious artists who produce wholesome content out there anon, the market just generally pays up for trash.

there isn't anything wrong with drawing porn in it's own right. However, drawing porn caters to a select number of people and it creates a division between who can and who can't enjoy your art, even if you're also doing wholesome stuff (unless your porn isn't out in the open for everyone to see). This doesn't apply to the people who do it once in a while. Not everyone cares to see it, and there are few times when it is appropriate to enjoy. Depending on the situation you may find yourself drawing porn for money forever and never freeing yourself from it. Unfortunately on the internet information gets around at a frightening pace and your reputation either gets cemented or ruined pretty much instantly. So choose wisely.

Is this that guy that got triggered when I posted the art blog of a talented young girl (http://pixelnoodle.tumblr.com/) a few months back in this very thread?
You have to start worrying more about what you're doing and what you can do than people who are doing things you don't want them to do. You talk about people wasting their talent drawing "lust driven characters" etc. but, what do you do with your talent, and how much of your talent are you squandering by deliberately seeking out things to be offended by?
Not even Goebbels wants to hear this kind of shit dude, just like…draw…bro.

Yeah, i'm not sure what there is to be offended about here. I should clarify that what i'm talking about is the realm of explicit material, not pinups, and of people who make that explicit material their brand, not a every so and so type of thing.

I've drawn porn for god's sake, I said I don't have a problem with porn but rather a problem with how obsessed so many artists seem to be with it.
It's fine to have a different view on the situation, but please don't try to act like I'm saying something I'm not.

You might be over generalizing.
I don't know where you hang out but the great majority of drawfags I know aren't particularly obsessed with porn. The ones who are are usually furries.

If you hang out on tumblr you'll get blacks, pop culture and degenerates, pixiv usually has lewds, anime and manga, and so on for other sites. You also fail to realize that maybe it's because it sells. Every artist would like to become famous and land jobs with his original concepts, but the truth is that it's higly unlikeable. So while nudes gives you money, you can still draw whatever in your free time, since now you're economically stable (for an artist).

Went to art school instead of a real college, was lazy and came out still shit so there's no place for me in the field. I don't know what caused the stroke that turned off most of my brain and let me think art school would be a good idea.
I wonder when i'll finally get fed up with $13/hr entry level jobs and end myself. Probably after I finish paying off the 70k in debt so that the parents don't have that shit dumped on them.

you don't need to eat as much as you think, your body is very efficient machine in this respect.
not saying you shouldn't eat until you are 100% done, just don't eat until you have page of a comic done, or at least a rough sketch of it, or character design seats or something.
most people can go without food for weeks, a few hours or days won't hurt anyone unless you have the diabetes or something
