I need to get more non-porn commissions, methinks

So far, I've never really considered Essie as a "character" so much as an avatar.
I don't really ascribe to him any character traits that I don't see in myself, or at least in what I'd want myself to be, he's an avatar, a proxy for what I'd be, rather than a seperate entity.
But I still need some more characterization, I think, at least to show what else there is to Essie.

After some thought, I think what I want, at the moment is a sort of comic page-like panel spread with a few simple pictures of "This is what I like to do!". Something that shows Essie's other facets and hobbies, in (hopefully) cute picture form :3

It really is the non porn comms though that really set your avatar, it allows you much more freedom of expression then porn does.
A lot of the reason I tend to get porn is because it's easy to get it, and easy to enjoy it.
Also I just have more trouble with the specific details of what I'd want otherwise... >.>
That is the same reason I tend to get porn. Plus people tend to like it more, and I kind of like it when people like art of my character.
Getting non porn requires a lot more though, but I think you get a better result too. It is something that is more personal to you. I mean, tentacles and dicks are fun, but sometimes a really expressive scene will mean more to you. Like, I recently got one that I use as my background and lock screen on my computer because I feel like I can connect a lot closer to that, then I can to porn.
Plus like... there is only so much art you can get by yourself. I have kind of petered out with the art commissioning because I am running out of ideas by myself. I do have a few left, but the ones I have left I am reserving for a few very specific artist, because of their style. Right now I am just posting stuff that I have had in the works for a long time, or that I did not post originally.
I need some more canon, high-quality clean art too, honestly. But it's so hard to resist getting a big ol' butt drawn v.v
