Hello! I'm very out of touch with the furry community but I do know that there's an ungodly amount of furry art that is created every day, and that number is continuing to increase. I've already got a career and my clumsy paws can barely draw a stick figure, so I've often wondered how artists can dedicate such time and skill to making such an immense amount of art. Many artists I see create a new piece of art every few days, and some have hundreds if not thousands of art pieces total.

• Do most artists draw art without expecting any money?

• Do most artists do it as a side hustle in addition to a regular job? Is that exhausting?

• What sort of "salary" could one reasonably expect from being dedicated to full-time drawing [furry] art?

• If it's meant to be your only source of income, how does your job security feel?

• Is it required to "get lucky"/"get noticed" in order to make any real amount of money?

• Is it fun, or does it become "work"?

• Any other interesting topics that I don't know enough about to ask?
