Why don’t you do very heavy gore commissions for minors? Asking out a genuine curiosity and I’m not trying to be rude

Don’t worry, this doesn’t come off as rude! When I was a kid/teenager I was heavily desensitized by gore, both real + fiction, because I was exposed to very explicit violence as a VERY young kid & continued to get heavy exposure.. from looking into things myself and people online grooming with it, privately. (Talking, starting younger than 6..) Trauma worsens that for you, as much as people don’t really talk about it, and while I still love horror + gore, I am not desensitized to physical trauma of real people & I am healing from the damage mentally now. But again, I am 20 years old. I can handle these things with maturity + awareness in a way a child or young teenager can’t or typically doesn’t.

And my friends when I was a young teen were the same way, looking at very graphic gore— fiction/real, even if I wasn’t actively doing the same, looking back I truly do feel horrible + wish they did not do that. I personally do not feel comfortable potentially contributing to that, specifically supplying them with it on demand. Like, in a private conversation, a kid requesting a draw their character getting split in half or something very vile and crazy.. ew. If that makes sense. My art is also bordering semi realism so that is way different from if the gore was very cartoony and heavily stylized.

I think people don’t see drawing NSFW for a minor the same across all boards— NSFW also applies to very extreme gore after all. It’s just not appropriate. I mean, think about it, really. Would you stream gore for a 14 year old, as an adult? Would you send them images of blown up people, people getting tortured/dissected even if it was fictional— draw that stuff for them, Etc.?

Maybe people just don’t see it as the same. And I’m definitely not saying minors can’t enjoy a little blood, fun and horror. It’s just a personal thing with me overall.

So at the end of the day, if minors do look at my account and take in my gore art, extreme or not it is out of my hands. But I will never draw that stuff FOR them. Never.

Where do you get all your references for drawing gore?

Mostly other gore artists! It’s very difficult if not impossible to find ethically sourced body references from IRL people for gore, aside from some posts on medical reddit forums. 😭 But you don’t really need it anyway. Other gore artists is usually the way to go. You can also use gorey movies and stuff too! Always ethical, fictional alternatives.

Be careful following tumblr blogs that post gore art though. For some reason after looking at some for gore art ideas Tumblr decided I must be in the Columb*ne “fandom” and suggested a few posts to me 😬… Needless to say, not really using Tumblr for that anymore LOL. Always some freaky gross rabbitholes on here.

But my biggest tip is literally just looking at the internal anatomy of the body and then playing with it. Every time I’m drawing gore I don’t always look at other art, mostly just what’s inside of the body in whatever area I’m pulling apart.

Movies I suggest for gore reference would be things like the SAW franchise, REPO! The Genetic Opera & Hostel! Super gorey and super creative gore too! Mortal Kombat is also fantastic for gore reference.

THE LITTLE SPARKLES EVERYWHERE… OHH THE COLORS AND LINEWORK IS SO SOFT AND PLEASING TO THE EYE.
