Yes, I substantially boosted my annual salary significantly by being smart, if you enjoy making logos and what not, you should probably expand upon that, make a portfolio and try to get a better job, if that doesn't work out for you, you should probably go full free-lance mode and show everyone what you're capable of, go to linkedin and make a profile, get a website and stay active on facebook, I know this sounds retarded but getting affiliation/connection and staying in touch with people that could help you rise up is the best thing you can do.

if you want to make money at doing art related stuff, you should probably focus on 3D Modeling and animation, there are sites that helps you learn that, I advise using CGPEERS when the registration opens up on the 30th/1th or the 15th of any month, learn basic 3D and sell assets, learn your demographic, I started out selling models on turbosquid and I chose specifically the field of architecture and anatomy, doctors and architect faggots love that shit and will buy it off of you, the more you make the higher the chances of you getting paid, also, I can't stress this enough, enrich your portfolio, that shits important, people will look at your stuff and contract you, you just need to exploit your field more and stay more in touch with people who also works in the field, do some courses if you need to, contact your professor and get him to help you out on your art related career.

the worst thing that you could do now is being a worthless NEET, also do NOT take liberal arts course, if you do you're an imbecile, just stick to what you're good at and make a system out of it.

Also, some other shit that may help you out, look up "how to fail at everything and still win big by scott adams" learn about the system shit and whatnot, also if you're fat and lazy, please lift and lose some weight and get healthier.

If you know how to draw (not only graphics like logo and so), then do erotic / porno commissions.
You will need to bandwagon a little bit, but you can make good money.
Just set up a deviantart acount, some juicy pictures, and a commission fee chart (usually for sketch, flat color and shadow color picture).

This will do the job to have more money, but will not be a primary income.

thanks for the tips bro.

I don't enjoy doing logos and web stuff though, its very boring after you've done it a hundred times.

I've been learning 3d modeling, problem is that it takes a lot of time to produce something worthy of being sold. Modeling, texturing and rigging a single high res character or environment can take weeks if not months.

yeah I taught myself how to draw, I'm far from being a master though.

By porno you mean hentai? there's literally millions of hentai images being created non stop, why would anyone pay some unknown fuck to draw tits ?

>By porno you mean hentai? there's literally millions of hentai images being created non stop, why would anyone pay some unknown fuck to draw tits ?
I heard they mostly pay for GAY stuff. So it may be not the best job, closer to camwhores in a moral aspect.

>self taught
You're already doing better than 90% of your colleagues

/d/eviant here
There are lots of faggots who will pay top dollar for commissions of their favorite fetish, possibly with their favorite OC. For some reason, it seems like the furries are all loaded. Idk why, but they will spend a shitload on fetish porn.

Is it correct that it's mostly gay stuff?

Generally yes, or else it is gross shit.

I've been doing design for 7 years now, barely make more than I did starting out and been through 3 companies, laid off once.

Honestly it's a dead-end unless you can grab a creative director position, thought i'd have a shot at that but got replaced with a Chad contractor.

Honestly I got into crypto and now making life changing money, hope to quit within a year.

If I had any artistic talent I would start making characters and shit out or crypto coins. People seem to really love that shit and I bet there's some good money in that

Draw niche porn

The other user was right about there being big money in fetish smut. Furries are the most well known, but check out /d/ for shit other people might be interested in. The more strange, obscure, and/or specific, the smaller the supply of smut there is for that fetish. For the people that get off on that stuff, they can't rely on free porn. Autists are especially willing to pay for drawings of their original characters or favorite waifus doing weird sex shit.

furry porn on patreon

draw perverted stuff, its the easiest of money to make. I get payed for a $100 sketch that takes me less than an hour to draw, and its some SSBBW furry blowing a dude.
Just dont tell anyone at Christmas dinner what your job is

patreon.com/user?u=121401
see this guy makes in a month what you do in a year shitting out updates to a poorly drawn, poorly written game for e621 users

so I have to draw furry or gay stuff to be able to make good money, fuck that.

I guess it comes down to hustling and building several sources of income.

If you don't feel like selling your soul to the furry community, then yes.

seriously, how do you avoid turning gay if most of what you produce is gay content?

I think he is really lucky and the exception, there are many good artists out there making nowhere near that amount.

Hey OP, I'm currently writing a screenplay and am going to pay an artist to create some concept art for me to include in the Kickstarter/investing campaign.

Could you post a sample of your work?

Or post a throwaway email where I can contact you?

>artist
>company name
What the fuck are you doing?

Go freelance cunt and build a brand.
Also working with the average person is much better than working for a buiness in the art world.

I am not very good at drawing, but i was selling "selfies" for $100 - $300. Basically tracing someones facebook photo and adding to it. So easy, i got heaps of parents/bf wanting a drawing of their gf. And youd change it like make them goth or a princess or draw their dog or some shit.

stop by /3/ and ask about making money on patreon by drawing niche porn

Literally draw futa and gay furry porn, set up a patreon, charge commissions for custom one offs.

ezpz

If you fear to go gay because you draw, the problem is not in the image, but you user...

Go freelance.
My dad is a very successful freelance designer who earns stacks ($200,000 US a year)

Like anything else (sports, entertainment, cryptolamboland) mosts artists will stay poor and some will be ultra wealthy. You don't need to draw furry or gay stuff. You will probably have to draw popular stuff, because the idea is that you end up crowdfunded, so you need something the crowd wants.

what's wrong with drawing furry porn?

i wish i could draw or have artistic talent

>By porno you mean hentai? there's literally millions of hentai images being created non stop, why would anyone pay some unknown fuck to draw tits ?

Specialize in a fetish and rake in big bucks. There's lots of porn, but not much high quality porn.

Hey OP.

I'm working on a youtube kids show and am looking for artists.

Shoot me a message and we can chat.

Especially guro, seriously any artist with semi-decent drawing skills can go in there and curbstomp all competition

I'm not interested in guro, but I like horror-themed hentai. I don't see much of that.

Fellow artist here. Went into film.

However, user, if you are interested maybe we could create our own graphic novel company. I'm a screenwriter too, so I have a few ideas (hundreds actually), and have stories aimed at children, teens and adults.

I've always wanted to make adult graphic novels (not porn) but stuff like Tinker,Tailor, Soldier, Spy, books like LOTR but in Graphic Novel format and have them easily accessible online.

You get a movie studio that comes by and likes some ideas then jackpot.

Just for information, what do you thibk about phone "dating" game ?

The one with, like, a chapiter a day with a choice in the end that fakly give a taste of free will to the player with some graphics while the text prints ?
(Not porn ones, the casuals one that people will play with)

draw that fanfic about the alien sucking a dudes dick or whatever, people love that story.

quality post


>"how to fail at everything and still win big by scott adams
That's basically about how you should create daily habits rather than working towards abstract goals yeah?

>You get a movie studio that comes by and likes some ideas then jackpot.
Are you joking? that's not how the film industry works. It's producers and agents who usually option your work, that an an option on 10 other properties too... they then create a "package" with an agent and shop it around, hoping at least one of their properties gets developed.

if you want to make it in theatrically released film then what you need to do is pre-sell your film to as many sales agents as possible, preferably get a producer in a country with big tax off-sets and subsidies to co-produce for you and organize sales in other territories. Oh, and get "private funding" like Uwe Boll use to do, tax write off you see.

sounds good man but my drawing portfolio is seriously outdated, as I said I've been doing web stuff for the last few years.

I rather gamble shitcoins than spend all my time drawing gay furry porn

yeah I've been freelancing but you have to compete with every other pajeet in the planet, unless you specialize in a niche or have money to hire people.

I'm straight, its like being a gay porno producer, sooner or later you'll start enjoying cocks.

> There's lots of porn, but not much high quality porn.

According to people here its not the vanilla porn that makes money, its the weird stuff, like futa, furry and gay.

that's like drawing underage stuff, you might get into trouble for drawing stuff that people hate, just like what happens with Shadman.

Sounds good but as you say the money is in the writing not in the drawings. If your writing is good you'll get a producer interested.

why would people pay you to do something that they can easily find for free ? I mean yeah you can probably pull some extra income but I seriously doubt someone will be able to earn a lot just for being a good artist.

I went searching on patreon and saw a lot of great artists pulling barely 1200 dollars a month after many months if not years of opening their site.

If you are good at photoshop go make logos on seoclerk and fiverr.

Stop acting like an artist and start acting like a shark. Speak up. You can make good money in art direction rolls

>thinking there's money in comics

fuck that, so you recommend to keep doing what I'm doing at my current company.

> art direction
I don't think there's too much money there unless you somehow have connections
