April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberThis is an extremely controversial comment but i really do think that people with this kind of talent could be using their talent to make money in other ways rather than porn
this is still really good though

MemberWhich is why I am very grateful they choose to use their talents to satisfy the carnal part of my brain that loves sex.
Besides, talented people get horny, too.

MemberWho says they don't? They could be making porn under a fake alias, no one would ever know.

PrivilegedI consider it a good thing when a creator can earn a living by making what they like making, be it porn or not. Porn helps induce is a valid emotional response in a viewer, just as horror, drama, and action do. If they'd prefer not making as much porn, I'd agree that it would be nice if they could do more of those other things too.

BlockedA commission is a commission, they'd get the same amount either way for their time. Having their talent delving into porn opens their pool of customers.

MemberWell crafted piece.

BlockedTalent like this is clearly best used by making porn; freelance, big audience, can be done from home, commissions, freedom, etc. Porn will never go out of business, there will always be horny people. So I'm not sure why you're blatantly suggesting that this artist should go do something else.

MemberThanks for the comment ^^
Porn art may not be (very debatably) as elevated an art form as landscapes or still lifes or fine abstract art, but honestly I consider it to be easily on the same "level" as comedy or cooking, they all seek to elicit a physical and psychological response such as laugh, joy, savor, salivation, erection, arousal, etc. and being a good chef is seen as something respectable. If it's because sex is nasty and shameful then I think that's a cultural thing that is long overdue to die. If it's because it's not as profitable as being an artist for a big game company, that makes sense, although there is a good deal of money to be made of furry smut as the demand greatly exceeds the production and is constantly renewed, but money is not the reason I draw, I keep my prices low and open commissions very rarely, this pic for example is not a commission, just sheer expression of lust, happiness and aesthetics.
I also do make a lot of things (perhaps a majority) that aren't erotic, like my comic on FA and other pics, some worldbuilding art I've yet to upload and other projects that I will reveal in time.
I'm currently in university studying something that I'd like to be my job. Art has never been my job, just one of my hobbies and I'd like to keep it that way :) I greatly enjoy making it and I hope it brings a small bit of pleasure to some of the viewers!
Also thanks everyone else for the comments, I know I rarely comment on e6 but I do read and appreciate them
