For the last several days,I have seen a few person who truly love anime but detest obscene element.I feel that western people sometimes recognize illustrator who draws erotic pictures as a sinner.But in Japan,many respected illustrator draw both ero and no-ero simultaneously.
There are a variety of examples.
Akio Watanabe (渡辺明夫)is known as character designer of Bakemonogatari (化物語).He's also a well-known illustrator of erotic games.
In particular, The Fruit of Grisaia series has become popular and has been adapted into an anime.
Case2:
Kurehito Misak (深崎暮人)is famous for original character designer of "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend".
He was also famous for R18-game "In Search of the Lost Future".
He's still drawing covers for erotic manga magazines as of 2020.

I could list dozens of cases, but this will be the last one for today.
Case3
Noizi Ito is famous for original character designer of ”Haruhi Suzumiya”,”Shakugan no Shana”.
She is also famous for R18-game "Nanatsuiro Drops"
It's common for women to draw erotic pictures for men.
Sometimes making erotic doujinshi leads to a major debut. 本庄雷太(RAITA) was praise for mechanical and female depictions by SEGA staff, and was appointed as a character designer for TV game "Valkyria Chronicles".He keep making erotic doujinshi,even today.
An example of drawing eromanga lead directly to anime. Tomino, best known as the director of Gundam, appointed Yoshihiro Nakamura(中村嘉宏) as the character designer for "Overman King Gainer". He created an erotic manga under different pen name.
As of 2020, FGO seems to be the most popular smartphone game in Japan.
"FGO"and "Fate zero" are spin-off of "Fate/stay night".
It is well known that "Fate/stay night" was originally R18 ero game.

In Japan, discrimination against erotic illustrators is relatively low.Not sinner.
