Not quite OnlyFans, but when you have specific interests, you gotta find specific folks with skills tailored towards those interests.

Source: Close buddy of mine is a furry fetish artist. Not suspiciously wealthy, but he's full time drawing raptor asses.

I don't get the whole furry thing but sometimes I wish I had artistic talents because I would have no qualms getting paid to draw whatever degenerative crap people are into these days. Seems like a solid side hustle.

I suspect most of that market’s about to die

The real money now is in selling credits to a private AI art generator with all the nasty word restrictions disabled.

Luckily I've got a good enough card for Stable Diffusion and I spent a couple weeks scouring civitai for the perfect blend of models and improving my prompt game and when I had the exact "content" I wanted, it never did anything for me. Like at all...

I’m about to set up SD, do you have any recommendations for further reading on exactly this subject?

But… Raptors didn’t have fur 🧐

That's what you're hung up on? There's a whole subgenre of sharks with tits.

and you know this how? 🤨

Listen mate, when a furry comes up to ya and says "Here's three hundred bucks, draw me a picture of a cybernetic shark gal with huuuuumongous life-ruining tits," you say "How big ya want 'em?"

Don't let your wet dreams be dreams...

FYI: there's a whole swath of furry (literally) dragons and scalies.

Furry is just the kinda general term for the whole fandom. If you wanna refer to a furry or a scalie character without worrying about calling a scaly fella furry, anthro works plenty fine.

Also they most likely had feathers, which is rad as shit in my books.

This. Also in real life, people with specific talents know they're rare and charge accordingly. Pornhub is full of average stuff and if that does it for you great (though I'd argue anyone considering themselves a 'porn addict' is unlikely to be satisfied with basic porn)
