This art, to put it bluntly, was the worst rated art I’ve posted to this site, despite me working all day long n it yesterday. 😂
I was wondering why until I noticed three critical things I didn’t account for.
One: There hasn’t been enough variety in my art and because of that, the sudden “A” rated post came as a bit of an unexpected shock.
Two: The anatomy of my character was drawn terribly despite my attempts.
Three: My appearance is growing and expanding more from my art.
Expanding on the these points, I want to put my all into my art as well as have more verity while still making sure things don’t get too overbearing for me,
If anyone has some good advise on how I can achieve these things please let me know.
It would be deeply appreciated.

I think you are correct in your assumptions as to why this piece did not perform well. Dropping an "A" rated post out of nowhere can be shocking to some followers. It might be best to stick to "T" rated content where you can still experiment and be lewd, or else creating a separate account for "A" rated content.
Yes, your proportions in this piece are pretty bad. It seems like you drew the breasts first and then drew everything else coming off of the breasts like a weird tumorous mass. I would suggest researching figure drawing or body anatomy, where you roughly sketch the entire figure in order to determine the proper body proportions, and then you "ink" that figure as a tracing in a separate layer once you've got the figure down.
The other thing is that you drew the breasts in a pornographic style, making them big and giving them enticing details, but then you drew the rest of the body in your traditional cartoony style, where the limbs are noodly and the facial features are simplified to convey emotions easily. These two styles are forced together in a way that looks unappealing. If you want to try drawing pornographic content, you need to adapt it to match your art style, or you need to develop your art style in a way where you can put sexual emphasis on body parts without it looking off-putting.
For example, your "Koharu" drawing from last month looks pretty good proportionally. You can see some definition in her breasts, but because they are drawn proportional to the rest of her body, it does not look weird or unattractive. If you tried to give her breasts extra size or detail without adjusting the rest of the body to match, it would look off putting.
If you want to draw a nude character with big titties playfully looking at the viewer, you need to make sure the rest of the body is sized properly and that the face has enough details to match the focus of the art.
Definitely keep practicing, even if it's not "A" content! Work on improving how you light or shade characters and how you want to proportion their bodies. It will make your work look better regardless of the age rating.
