Money making with furry porn
To anyone who may have sold art at conventions and/or sells commissions can you give me some figures on the money made in those areas?

From my guesses I assume if I was a pretty popular artist I'd be able to sell about 80 prints at $40 average. If I go to 4 conventions a year that adds up only $12,000 and that's not including the cost of going to the con which probably knocks off almost half of that.

With custom commissions I reckon if I'm popular enough I could do about 1 $100 commission every 2-3 weeks adding up to 26-52 commissions a year earning a total of $2600-5200.
From that looking at the amount of work I'd need to do, I'd still be making less that half as much as least.

If I do both loads of commissions a year and do successful at commissions I could be making around $15,000 which is barely minimum wage. And that doesn't consider the cost living, travel, conventions, etc

There will be no money left at the end of the day and I would be better working at McDonalds.

I think prints and other non tailored art has the potential to make far more money and be more accessible as they can be sold faster, more reliable and cheaper.

Do you think I should be focusing on art that can be mass produced rather than what JMGN did with tailored commissions?
The sky's the limit, large comics are sold by the thousands and make millions

Are there any major errors in my assumptions?

I'll probably go with z-brush since I have resources for it. Someone said this to me not to long ago, so this is very encouraging advice!

nice link too. I'll give it a good read.
