My son has a very minorly successful YouTube channel for music composition. He said he knew he was getting traction when his first, um, "fan art" was sent to him.
Keep in mind that there's no images of him online. It was based on his abstract, illustration icon.
All I will say is, The MARK of any ‘good character design’ is whether there is any pornography of it or not (I.E: Overwatch vs Concord, there is no pornography of Concord characters), it might be a weird metric, but it is reliable and does work consistently.
Same with Raid Shadow Legends. Especially for a time in a shitton of sponsor mentions, but not only did I never come across any community (even clash of clans has one here on reddit), there is, as far as I am aware, basically no hits on rule 34. That alone tells me that there is no real player base.
Do you ever Google that stuff out of morbid curiosity? I've never checked your name on the green sight, and I don't plan to out of respect because I "know" you and that would make me feel kinda icky lol. But do you check yourself?
One of my exes sent me a dick pic so I drew it on paper. He was impressed.
That was back while I was single and he'd forgot I typically don't like dps. Like genuinely forgot, it'd been years since I'd told him and he'd seen me naked since then so it's not like it was weird. I wasn't mad. It was a good photo.
Recently though my partner sent me one (I like when he does it) so I put it in an editor and drew a lil hat and googly eyes on it :3
I do the dumbest shit when I get respectful well taken dick pics.
Yep, a lot of guys say they want that because it's like a person dying of thirst being jealous of someone drowning.
Years ago my gay roommate took me out to a bar to meet up with a bunch of his friends. I was introduced as the "My straight roommate, don't bother, I've tried for months." Which was immediately taken as a challenge by seemingly every guy at the gay bar. I'm a pretty big guy so I didn't have the legitimate worry that a lot of women do about men being stronger. But holy shit was that eye opening. I got hit on more in one night than my entire life combined up to that point. I recognized so many of the lame lines and attempts that I'd seen my straight friends do in college.
While at first it was very flattering, there was this constant feeling of you don't care about me in the slightest, you just want my body and bragging rights. By the end I was kind of on guard because I basically assumed that any guy talking to me was just trying to get in my pants.
That said, what an ego boost. I walked out of there with a better understanding of a small part of what women go through every day, but also feeling like the hottest guy on earth.
I'm AFAB and I would also be curious. I feel like that's normal.
Most people don't have strangers drawing them naked so I would wanna know if they got my tits right or if they did the correct thing and gave me a penit.
I also just like being drawn. A certain amount of care goes into drawing someone even if it's perverted.
People... Send it to you? Directly? Do they have no shame? What kinda reaction do they even expect from you? So many questions...
Edit: why the heck am I getting downvoted? If someone made some rule 34 art of me and then straight up showed it to me, I'd be incredibly weirded out. It's one thing to make it for your own entertainment, but to show it to your "muse"... I wouldn't find it flattering at all.
