I’m looking for morally bankrupt artists to commission, but if you arent willing to draw guro I got some other stuff that needs doing.

As for my input on this matter, it is a problem of there being more supply than demand. There are many great artists, but only one of them matters for stupid reasons like name brand and connections/clout. Thanks to this over abundance of artists, and the internet making you compete with talent across the globe your value has plummeted as a creative individual. It is now completely dependent on your ability to draw things in a unique style and fill a niche that AI and cheap chinese labor can’t so easily do.

More importantly if you want money as an artist you should consider just cranking out the most awful degenerate shit cause those people have deep pockets. If you want to do things the hard way… say you have integrity or “honor” and want to use your skills to do whatever YOU want, then don’t complain that it won’t bring in easy money.

Welcome to globalism, it rewards laziness, the uninventive, and those who are creatively dead. Don’t worry though, it isn’t only the art field that is suffering, it is just a surprise people haven’t understood what is happening.

Another thing is that value has to scale with demand. If you got 100 people asking you for commissions then raise your prices. Sadly if people aren’t asking it may not be prices at all, but you being buried under the mountain of others. It is why some artist chase free attention magnets like meme/hot subjects.

Honestly I feel like a lot of artists aren’t all that creative and more like a laborer for someone else. Much like how programmers love to just program. Many have no direction, or even a goal. The act of simply doing is enough, which many artists also have in common. Such is life.
