What kind of 3D NSFW content do you create?

Monster
pinup
concept

Well I would say that monster is something between the ugly guy fetish and Zoophilia fetish. It’s when ugly guy is too ugly for you and zoophilia is too much for you.

Do you have a commission sheet?

I never thought of making one, as I change pricing based on what someone wants. For example creating a model for use in a visual novel I’m working on will be much cheaper than a game ready model with baked textures and animations and great topology.
So most projects differ from each other, I have 1 comic this week and the next week I’m making a 3d model for a kink game so it’s not a stable thing.

How much is your weekly workload including your day job?

I don’t currently have a day job. I work with 3D full time now.
So I’m currently working on 3 projects between 1 large one and 2 smaller one. About all day long, as it has became my full time employment for the meanwhile.

What bothers you the most in your artist space?

Ai Artists having a bigger market than traditional ones
For example on the page rule34, you can see how much an AI artist gets in attention and when you compare it to other regular 2D or 3D artists. You can see that the work and time you put into a project will not result into the same amount of love and attention anymore

When did you start being an artist

Well it all started when I booted up Tomb Raider for the first time and I thought “Hm, how do they make this?” and now here I am! So I started about 2014. I was young and had a lot of time on my hand. I started making art for random people and gradually made it to making props for Daz3D and then comics for clients and now this!

What are your goals and ambitions?

I really want have a stable career and maybe create a Visual Novel or an animated series.

Are you in contact with other artists? How does your network looks like?

So far I been in contact with NoXSmoking and some other people from back in my DeviantArt days

For me it’s quite hard to socialize with other artists. It seems like everything turns into an argument really quickly. Kinda like we are having a conversation on an anonymous image board. So for the most part I never been much in contact with a lot of people. I guess I like to find answers for myself

It’s not that I never tried being in contact with fellow artist in the 3D NSFW space but I tried once by joining a 3D smut Discord sever. I tried to ask people for help to improve my work. There I experienced a wide range of motions from others and we didn’t click much. Some of them have been larger creators but noone seemed to want to hold a conversation about anything but not about 3D art itself. All what they wanted is to talk about games or anything else but 3D. So I was hoping to learn from them but I didn’t get anything out of it.

Do people in your real life know about your NSFW art?

No. No one knows!

What platforms do you use and how do you like them?

I use F95zone to find projects and some jobs.
And Twitter to share my art.
Unfortunatly I was shadowbanned on Twitter in the past. I assume I’m just not paying them enough that my art is allowed to reach people. My name didn’t appear in the search before Elon took over and now I get seen by at least a small amount of people. I get 2-4 likes on Twitter but when I post the same thing on reddit and I get 150 likes. Which makes me wonder if I should delete my twitter and start again

What kind of people consuming your content?

They all like monsters and milfs! They are not many do but my clients seem to enjoy it quite well! They have became like family to me!

What is the gear you are using?

My laptop
Aan MX master 3 mouse
Sony whx400 headphones
and I have a small wacom tablet for texture painting

How do you feel and handle being a person actively involved in pornography?

I don’t feel weird about it at all, infact it’s just a part of my life. If I’m not making it I would be thinking about doing it

Are you rich yet?

Not really, so I’m living below my means until I can make it

What types of porn do you enjoy personally?

I enjoy a wide range of it but I prefer mostly 3D porn. But I do enjoy softcore and JAV from time to time

By what metric do you consider an artist as being not small anymore? Based on Twitter followers? Prices and bookings on ther comission sheet?

I think once one reaches 10-50k active followers and have a good patreon like lustgard you can consider that they’ve made it. So they can do it on full time from commisions and patreon and live from it

What artists in the 3D smut field are you looking up to and why?

Blackadder is an old artist that I been a fan of since day one
Sakura Rabbit as she does the impossible
NoXSmoking for his amazing simulations
nyl2 for his amazing lighting
Regina3D for their simplicity

Give shout out to 5 small 3D smut artists who deserve and need more attention and tell us why they deserve it

I don’t really know more than those 2. Also TwistedRavenArt in paticlar is a prime example of what happens when you are shadowbanned
