In other words, the censored version of the post I made last night.
Here's how that version was captioned: If I've failed to convey just how tight things are right now, this should drive the point home. At the risk of destroying my brand, disappointing my family and friends, and being asked to draw things I really don't want to, I'm now offering nudity in my commissions. As a sample, here's a topless shot of the screen's first sexy chipmunk...
Now, this comes with a few conditions. I will NOT draw anything that implies adultery or promiscuity, or anything that breaks character. So no trash with fantasy relationships that would never happen to a character or anything like that. Something like Peg being flirty for Pete, no problem. But nothing tasteless, like stuff involving her fooling around behind her husband's back. Got that?
Also bear in mind that loins aren't my strong suit, so don't ask me to draw close-ups of a spread vagina or anything like that. But if we're talking an uncovered body, I can live with that.
Also, I'll be asking a much higher price for nudity than I would for a regular drawing, so be warned about that.
So, now that I've been pushed into literal prostitution, let's see if this nets me any work...

When I began taking commissions, one small job cost $30, and I could buy groceries that would last a couple days. Now I'm doing those same jobs for $40 and can barely afford a single evening meal for my family. That means multiple jobs at the same time, the money quickly spent and still having to fill out the orders I've already taken. Something more expensive maybe I can space out a little better. The experiment is at least worth trying out. I'll admit, I'm disappointed, too. I had a recognizable brand that had finally solidified. I have to get my head above water, though...
