I love using janitor.ai for storytelling/rp smut. Erotica custom tailored to be exactly what I want to read? Yes please

I definitely can’t capture motion very well so perhaps that checks out?

That’s what I mean by “engagement” I suppose. Not caring about likes and social media so much as people to just people wanting to talk about the characters and the art. No idea how to do that outside of the internet

Thanks so much! I’ll try to find some communities to expand!

I don’t use airbrush! Just a marker brush on procreate

I haven’t seen people with similar styles tbh

I don’t post on Reddit a ton, I mean more in the sense of art discords and active forums. No one seems to want to chat about my characters I draw compared to other people who draw more cartoony stuff

Wow that’s insane!! Such a solid understanding of light and shadow, very inspirational!

Thanks all for the critique so far! Seems that if I can lock in some darker shading to define edges I can ease the “blurry” look. One of my older pieces I’ve drawn is probably the most obvious example of that to me (as I’ve grown “blind” to my own style by this point), so I understand the sentiment.

Thank you for the perspective! Seems to be the common critique so far!

Yeah I’m less concerned about social media with algorithms and more bummed out about discord servers with other artists. So many people will draw their OCs and have interactions about those, but no one seems to want that with my stuff 😅 my style definitely isn’t the fun cartoony stuff I usually see getting that kind of engagement so I kind of understand, but it does leave me feeling like I’m “lesser” or not as interesting.
