[8:25:54 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: see i think he just doesn't wanna draw dicks.
[8:26:02 PM] Ry: oh really
[8:26:04 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: well i mean
[8:26:08 PM] Ry: does he have a 'girls only' policy?
[8:26:13 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: pretty much, yes
[8:26:16 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: well
[8:26:20 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: why do i keep doing that
[8:26:22 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: YES he does.
[8:26:39 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: the only time he draws male characters are in his own stuff
[8:26:45 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: and even then there's not much
[8:27:01 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: to be totally... honest
[8:27:22 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: i'm probably generally gonna stick to a girls only policy myself, albeit i won't word it as 'no transgender'
[8:27:39 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: i'm just... not terribly interested in drawing guys
[8:27:42 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: :v
[8:27:55 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: i worded that badly,
[8:27:58 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: but i think you know what i  mean
[8:27:59 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: x_x
[8:28:06 PM] Ry: and you wouldn't do trans subject matter on commission? or
[8:28:06 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: sorry. it's late.
[8:28:15 PM] Ry: like a trans lady w/ a peen
[8:28:28 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: i suppose i'd take it on a case by case basis but
[8:28:52 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: it's... hard to say, really
[8:29:33 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: generally speaking i'd be more likely to accept a commission of a trans girl w/o a penis than one with a penis
[8:29:50 PM] Ry: idk, it just seems like such a small thing to me that... obviously i'm not currently pursuing art, but i'm not sure i could see myself doing a 'no dudes' policy or similar. if someone's paying me to do art...
[8:30:14 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: i guess it's just tough because like
[8:30:20 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: this is something i spend like
[8:30:22 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: a lot of time doing
[8:30:25 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: so i want to enjoy it too
[8:30:32 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: and generally speaking i like vaginas more than penises.
[8:30:58 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: i'm not saying i'd never draw a girl with a dick.
[8:31:03 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: i might.
[8:31:34 PM] Ry: shrug
[8:31:52 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: the way i've been thinking i'd like to handle commissions is just have an e-mail address for it and people can e-mail their commission info to it and i pick the stuff i think is interesting...? at least that's how i'd handle it ideally, i know i may not be able to do that off the bat
[8:32:23 PM] Ry: i get not doing extreme fetishes or nsfw in general or... a lot of stuff when it's related to subject matter, it's just that i think "no dudes" seems like a strange thing to me?
[8:32:46 PM] Ry: it's like "no characters with long hair" or something. idk
[8:32:51 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: well
[8:32:52 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: no it isn't
[8:33:09 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: women and men have pretty different body structure generally speaking
[8:33:32 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: especially male and female characters who /tend/ to be near either extreme
[8:33:35 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: of masculine/feminine
[8:33:45 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: in this specific community
[8:33:55 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: that is to say the furry/anthro/monsterperson community
[8:34:33 PM | Edited 8:34:43 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: if you asked me to draw a male character right now it'd take longer than if you asked me to draw a female character
[8:35:31 PM] Ry: i understand what you're saying about male/female characters in the community being extreme
[8:36:15 PM] Ry: but wouldn't what you just said also go for any female character with features or traits you're less familiar/comfortable with drawing? isn't that just a matter of... drawing?
[8:36:52 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: i get what you're saying, but there's also just a matter of motivation.
[8:36:56 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: speaking personally
[8:37:11 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: i'd be much more motivated to learn about drawing this new thing on a female character than i would be to learn about drawing male characters.
[8:37:29 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: one would be enjoyable for me, the other wouldn't.
[8:38:26 PM] Ry: so it'd be literally different based on how the character was introduced/presented to you
[8:38:50 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: it's funny we're having this conversation because just before i started working on this YCH i sketched a thing involving a trans character
[8:39:00 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: more or less, yes.
[8:39:29 PM] Alice "Mitsuru" Mars: which is why i said in regards to commissions i'd take things on a case by case basis but i'd generally be less likely to want to draw guys.
