Since I'm mainly a SFW artist (preference), in the once in a blue moon I draw NSFW, should I post it here? Newgrounds has the most robust rating system I've seen so it makes me feel safer thinking I'm not going to have people come across it on accident because they don't expect it from me.
Thoughts? Is it against etiquette or something?
As much as I love your art, I do not want to see NSFW on my Favorite Artist page. I think it’ll be better to make a new account but not sure if it’s a hassle to have two running accounts. Even though the A rated is turned off, It’s odd for a sudden NSFW. But it is your account so do want you want with it.
I appreciate the honesty!!!!
Now, there's something I THINK you are missing? If I understand well: You do not get any notifications about Adult content even in your favorite artist page! I wonder if you'd feel different about it knowing that? I just checked and you get no notification at all. Like it didn't exist.
In the end it is my account but I like taking people into account. And I know my fame is wholesome and many people assume I don't even draw NSFW (which is mostly true).
I've had alternative account (DEEP Sony-Shock lore) and no joke, they just were active for a month and then went inactive for years.
But yeah, tell me your thoughts. If I post stuff I want to prevent it being a bad experience on other people. Art is meant to be enjoyed.
@Sony-Shock ah thanks, I didn’t know that. But I do when I check my emails and see Newgrounds showing the entries of those artist but I don’t check most of the time. Either way, thank you for responding and the information. Take care
No problem!
If it helps, I'll likely do so little NSFW ever that you might miss it anyway. Maybe I'll post the art as a preview and the actual art in the description at first. It should give you some choice to just ignore it without being splashed in the face.
While I have no problem with Adult art I think creating e separate account to host it would be a better idea. I follow several artists who at some point decided to go NSFW and once they saw the views it granted them they went full porn artist.
You have every right to draw adult stuff but I think having it separated from your SFW work might be a wise move.
Considering that you have to sign in, and then deliberately enable A-rated content for it to be shown, I think the likelihood of someone being genuinely shocked by something they were not prepared to see is relatively unlikely.
That said, there may be some users who have A-rated content enabled, who would only want to see a *specific* type of lewd stuff in their feed. So you might have some followers who are expecting to see only SFW stuff from you, who might unfollow if they see you posting NSFW stuff that isn't to their preference.
I'm pretty sure the first time I saw your art was on your NSFW tumblr account, so I know I won't be bothered!
I say go for it but only if it's something that you're comfortable with and it's something you want to do
Go nuts! As you said Newgrounds let you fully control what kind of art/game/videos you want to see so post away, if someone will be pissed it's their fault only XD
Others have mentioned it so I think I'll just echo it:
I would like to see it, as I just LOVE your artstyle, and those who don't want to see it can disable the A or M rating if they so chose.
Ultimately, I do hope you choose what you are most comfortable with.
yeh no problem. I assume that if you started doing it, 99% of the followers that would even have a problem with that wouldn't even notice due to not having the A rating enabled on their feed lol.
Only reason I see to not do it is if you want people to NOT know what kind or NSFW you do/like. I that case, posting to an alt account would be best. Though with a style as unique as yours, people who know about both accounts would easily connect the dots...
Absolutely, post your NSFW art here. It's a safe place to post.

newgrounds rating system works well enough i think. i keep forgetting a lot of artists i follow draw nsfw since I disable A-rated posts most of the time.

Same!!! I checked just not, just to make sure, and I learnt that artists I follow make NSFW art at all ?
