Artists, do you fap to your own art?

Postby x3Darkie » Wed Aug 30, 2017 2:29 pm

Wow, what a great title. No, seriously though, this is a weird question, but to all artists/illustrators, when you make NSFW or SFW that's mildy sexy that's fappable, do you fap to them?

"That's an invasion of privacy, buddy." Yes. Well, no. Aside from the stupid and silly nature, this is a serious question. Let me answer my own question first to give you guys some context. When I make NSFW art (which is literally porn), even I as the creator find it hard to fap to. Now it's not because it's not erotic enough. It's just that I always look at it as a piece of work. Like, there's always a line somewhere that needs to be removed or added, or the position of something is off, or that the anatomy is just plain fucking wrong. There's always something to fix and improve on. So while I would technically say I do fap to my own art, it's just hard to (pun not intended) do so when I treat it like any other SFW art.

This is here to prove a point.

So I'm actually really curious if anyone else have the same mindset as me or that you can't/don't/whatever fap to your own work for some other reason.

While working, I do feel very "turned off", but when I'm finished, I do usually feel ready to fap to my own stuff. The problem I face is that I have seen these images for a long time, and I can see them on my computer whenever I want, so I don't feel rewarded when I see them in a game I'm making.

I feel similarly. When I am working on something, I am so wrapped up in the technicality of what I am working on that I don't really get turned on. I am too busy getting pissed off at the animation or code not working correctly to see the forest for the trees, so to speak. After a bit of distance though there are usually things I like to go back to that I thought turned out well.

It depends. When it comes to completely original artwork, I can't fap to current stuff. I've spent so much time staring at it, that it doesn't even register as sexual to me. Even if I'm really proud of it, and can't find anything horribly wrong with it, it just doesn't do anything for me. Looking back at older stuff though, sometimes. If I can't see any glaringly obvious flaws, and it's been at least a year or two, I can sometimes. Depends on my mood and how easily available other artwork of the same character is available. If I'm watching a show, and I REALLY want to see that character, but there isn't any other artwork I like, then yeah.

When it comes to lineart I've colored, I'm way more likely to be able to fap to it though. I do recolors of artwork I like in different color schemes (like, I'll add in lips to artwork that doesn't have any, or I'll make a dark skin or light skinned version of artwork I like). I also color lineart I like sometimes (especially LMSketch's stuff). That kind of thing I usually can.

I feel like I should amend my answer. I've been working on reward CG and 3D character stuff, and a few times I've just stopped and fapped the shit out of my own artwork. But I've also had times where I feel completely involved artistically, and there's no call to start fapping. It makes me wonder what the difference is. Probably has to do with mood and challenge level. If the technical or artistic challenge is interesting enough, it drowns out the sexy time feeling.
