It is time for a change of pace, time to stop with the pinups and try something new, so I come to you, few, who follow my work (much appreciated btw) I ask what should I move on to?

One thing I am considering is going the Zone route, Zone used to be a pinup porn guy back in the day before he moved onto doing flash animations and I feel this should be the next evolution for me as well. I just feel more inspired to go this route as I love animation and sound and color (things my work does not have and can never convey in pinup form, well maybe color, but that's it) Something I think all us toon lovers can agree, adds soooo much to experience and his recent Jinxed Flash hit this point home for me over the head like a boulder on Wile E Coyote. If he had drawn a bunch of still pinups it just would not have been the same. I would start with simple loops of characters I enjoy rather than doing random rule34s willy nilly.

OR, I have also considered going the OC route. Before 2006, when I started posting crappy Simpson porn, I was always drawing my own characters, I was never a practitioner of fan art ( these past 3 years have been great practice doing fanart tho) I still enjoy drawing my own abortions..er creations.. Plus I could legally publish my art in sketchbooks (could you imagine my shit on display at Barnes and Noble?) like Dean Yeagle and Chris Sanders. Men I admire and feel kinsman-ship with even tho I only possess 1/50th their talent.

So, I ask you kind, non-troll, folks
What would you do iffin' you was me?

I am still in the middle of a large private commission project of about 40 full scale drawings left to go (not sketches) and it will take me months to complete. Along side that are side project commissions, so I am filled to the gills with work. So for now commissions are closed to any new orders until further notice, If I can get myself out of this tidal wave I will have plenty of open spots sometime in fall.

YAAAAARRRRGGGG, I need a vacation lol.

LOL, If you have never seen the cartoon called "The Critic" you probably dont get the joke reference. those who wanted commissions, please send me a note if you are still interested after waiting for so long. I will understand if you changed your mind. I will be tackling them one at a time, one week at a time.

caveats:

No "hardcore" erotica- I know thats weird coming from me but I'm out of that game. Sexy pinups with nudity and "implied" things are a-okay tho.

paypal and money order only

cancellations,corrections and mind changing- are only allowed up to and before the final sketch draft of your drawing
(before payment) anytime after that is the point of no return ^_^

prices are flexible according to difficulty

prices range from 30$-150$
depending on level of detail that needs to be drawn so please send me a note for a quote.

I have been having an artistic crisis lately. It seems I have an art block 5 days a week. So I had to ask myself some serious questions about the type of work I do. While it is fun to draw half naked cartoon gals, It's definitely not going to be an artistic medium that will support me in the future. As I have many years ahead of me and a quickly dwindling artistic shelf life of relevance, I see now that I have to go mainstream and start building a portfolio that not filled with sexual maidens and get me a real honest to goodness studio job.

It is nice to have lots of page views and comments and seeing my art posted on other forums and chans, but with the fast approaching death of western 2d animation. I dont think I will have anything left to fanart in a few years.

This leads me to believe I should start making plans for future otherwise its " shitty job till I'm dead" for me and start to explore all new avenues of art besides hotgirl fanart.

What are your thoughts?

Do you think? in 20-30 years you guys will still be drooling over old cartoons or is this all a fad destined to die?
