Meet Pushy Garnet. She is old enough to be your mom, and completely approves of whatever impossible fantasy gets your motor running. For the right price she’ll draw it.
I have decided that now that I’m a forty-something lady who will probably never try to get “a real job” ever again, I can come clean about how much of a total pervert furry I am sometimes. A while back I spent much of a year drawing crazy cartoon porn commissions as Pushy, and could have made that pay the bills if I’d wanted to. And now you can see most of what I drew as her right here on my website.
I learnt a lot as Pushy. I learnt a few things about building an audience; I learnt a lot about drawing quickly. I wouldn’t be drawing a comic directly in Illustrator if not for the time I spent knocking out weird, sloppy erotica with a bottle of raspberry lambic (Pushy’s favorite drink) at my side. I learnt something about empathy; Pushy’s job was to figure out why someone’s weird kink was hot to them, and feel that enough herself to make a joyously hot drawing. I kinda picked up a couple more absurd fantasy kinks doing that.
I still sign some of my experiments with her name. Because drawing something sexy is easy, and it provides a nice base to try new techniques on top of.
So what kind of prices would those be, anyway? I love your style and I’d love to see what your take would be on my weird quasi-fetishy aggressively-asexual nature.
She was usually pretty cheap but her prices started drifting further and further up after a while. These days it’d have to be a pretty large number and/or something I really wanted to draw to drag me away from Rita.
I still look fondly at the picture you did for me as Pushy and kick myself for not paying more!
Oh hi! Every now and then I wonder what happened to you. Glad to know you’re still bouncing around out there.
And I will gladly accept more money if you feel a need to send it to me! Although IIRC the other two people in that round of pay-what-you-want commissions more than covered the gap caused by your brokeness back then, so you really don’t need to feel any guilt for it.
