Is becoming a social media artist worth it in the long run?
Has anyone here ever gotten big from it?

Don't become a coom artist. It will unironically rot your brain

Become a NSFW artist and ignore religitards who think something humans have been doing for millenia is somehow detrimental to you. You'll make good money

It has its ups and downsGood
>it's money in your pocket
>it gets you real work after like 5-10 years of doing it because many people with hiring power are secretly coomers
>You will get abnormally good at draftsmanship and figure, both of which help with all your other future work
>That Titanic scene has ensured a generation of IRL women want to be drawn naked flatteringly, so if you're good, "I can draw you like one of my French girls" WILL get you laid.
>It pays well and for substantially lower quality work
>If you know coomers in your life, NSFW work can function as a substitute for currency
>It's just a really fun thing to draw
>People kinda just assume all artists are horny goons anyway, so you're not actually taking that much of a reputation hit by getting paid for the stigmaBad
>Long term partners don't like finding out about it unless you're extremely up front about it
>Significant chance a major AI company's image generation "no safety filter" weights leak and totally nuke the NSFW space within 5 years
>If you make a job out of something you like doing (drawing naked women), it will eventually become a drudgery for you
>Your fans are unhinged and generally the most degenerate, worst customer service customers in all of customer service
>You are guaranteed going to get doxxed and your public NSFW work will be linked to your real name eventually, so if you plan to work a job where respectability matters, you will fail the background check.
>Basically every payment platform perma-hates you once you start, and if you ever want to do non-NSFW business in the future, your negative history with them will follow you
>If you go pro with it, it's really hard to get back into the normal working world because it's really hard to explain the resume gapPossible useful test would be
>assume 30 dick pics and 5 sex tapes of you personally leaked. Are you fucked?
If your life would be derailed or fucked don't do NSFW, it's about this negatively impactful.

Trend chasing without direction, just drawing whatever is (currently) popular? No.
Being part of a fandom while still doing your own things, becoming "that" artist? Yes.

Pantsu ripper used to make good art. Then he turned into a girl.

>a social media artist
Do you mean an artist who uses social media, or a click farmer? Do the former if you want to I guess, but the latter I wouldnt do unless you just want to use art as a grift [spoiler](dont do that, its a bad idea)[/spoiler]

Eh it's fine if you're not a schizo. If anything, focusing on it a little too much can cause stagnation, but overall that's the only real issue I'd see, then again I'm a NSFW artist and I don't have to deal with much.

I've been thinking about becoming a social media artist but the only (easy) option out there are either becoming nsfw or fanart artist, both requires you to communicate with people and keep up with trend, bonus point if you can somehow becomes 'entertaining' to them like kyle.
Nsfw is where you can get easy followers, but then your account is going to be dirty - people will associate your name with nsfw stuff, there's no room for improvisation for yourself unless you want to resort to some niche /d/ tier fetish and entertain your own people. I mean, eventually people will get tired of seeing the newest fotm character dressed up in lingerie or drawn in a mombod in some seductive pose for god knows how many times, if you get what i'm saying.
As for fanart, mainly gacha like genshin these days. You need to get into fandom, you need to know what's the newest character on the block, what's the newest ship that people (faggot, troons, and women) like, and keep drawing someone elses character in some random scenario. The catch is that you either have to be extremely good at drawing that people will follow you themselves or you draw some /beg/ tier art and have a good communication with that fandom to ensure constant engagement and interaction. Obviously there will be drama, lots of drama, but if youre an imageboard dweller I'm pretty sure you can tiptoe-ing your way around it.
Anyway, since i'm not a people pleaser I decided to not becoming a social media artist and stick to 4cuck and dump my stuff here, but hey, maybe you or anyone itt will do it and took a thing or two out of my advice
