Because they need to eat?


Don't you dare using tkmiz as bait fag

They need money to live

didn't they used to get what they need from comissions?

Too irregular.

Because they can

>shit artists get paid a fortune by pay walling their work

>east
>shit artists get paid nothing
>start pay walling their work and getting paid a fortune too

i would pay for fanbox shit if i could understand any of the text on the page.

Reminder that Tkmiz is a tranny

Is that where the guro went?

I can barely draw, how do I make an easy fortune?

i hope youre releasing it for free once youve read it

I believe it's simply because there are now the services to facilitate such transactions. Sites like patreon became popular, pixiv even introduced fanbox.
I hate it, it makes browsing pixiv less enjoyable.

Because people pay them

No it's mostly just sexual stuff.

Maybe one day, other people do it anyway.

if they didn't bar foreign cards or payment methods it would tolerable

But I pay with a us credit card

Make yourself known and draw for niche fetish communities, I guess

>he didn't become friends with an artist on pixiv for free art

Dumbass

>tfw im into spanking
>Almost all content is behind fanbox
I wish I had a job

to keep it out of disgusting western hands

Western disease has infected the east, sadly.
The ones I despise the most are those who pay for commissions.

simp

because they can, they need a way to continually earn a salary and because if the worst western furry artist can make a buck by doing nothing then the japs should also earn some money by actually doing work.

Art should be a hobby, not a job.

Lock behind fanbox is a thing, skeb is another
Skeb is actually a good thing to happen

Are you afraid of Paypal or something? I've thrown some money to Fantia and Pixiv Fanbox no problem.

I've noticed a shift in communities on this site too. Talking about getting commissions has become a semi-regular thing when it was unheard of just a few years ago.

Convenience. That's the most important thing of any business. That's why Jap artists are starting Fantias and Fanboxes. Skeb allows you to see Saber getting spitroasted by Futa Shuten-Doji and Lanceria, it's not like you were saving your money for a kid"s college fund in the first place anyway.

>it's not like you were saving your money for a kid"s college fund in the first place anyway.
What?

Pay artists on SKEB for sexy pictures.

How does skeb works anyway?
Can artists filter the requests by tag or something?

Get out.
