Opinion on keeping two separate blogs for either gore/grimdark vs everything else, or nsfw (including gore/grimdark) vs sfw? Do you think it's worth the effort/upkeep to have two blogs?
I wrote out a mad long response to this but then my browser backed out and I lost all of it, so now I’m turnt.
Keep the two separate was the basic gist of the message. It’s not worth the hassle to keep SFW and NSFW together, especially if you want to show your work to anyone who might be interested.
It kinda sucks to tell people in person that I’m a digital illustrator and then not have a blog that’s totally okay to show off in public and be proud of. Showing people a grim blog isn’t the way to get into the industry.
Not unless you plan on doing what I plan on doing, but I’m not letting anyone know my secret plans to rule the world.
If you started a blog with SFW content and NSFW content at the same time, then it may become the expected narrative of your blog and no one would really care that much. At least not the people who know what they’re getting themselves into.
Still, it’s unfair to couple the two together imo. It’s better to have 2 blogs.
This is coming from someone who wished they started with a SFW art blog first.
