the "artists" here are just waiting for any excuse to shit on, cancel and troll others for "content", get people on their discord servers for frivolous reasons or are simply playing the numbers game and want everyone to boost them and play the hugbox game or constant battle about who has the biggest imaginary dick.

You're better off getting a straight up lobotomy than mingling with these stuck-high-school-mentality, status and clout obsessed, underage, incapable of questioning any authority mentally ill sexually confused clinically retarded, delusional as fuck low IQ waste of oxygen.
And you just know the usual reply from the aforementioned creatures
>oooemge like u must haet artist n ur jelly
How can you even respect these animals? They are an insult to life itself.

That's not really the point, my dear monkey friend.
Ask yourself; if a picture conveys the message, what point is there to go the extra mile to make it seem realistic? Much like this picture as an example >>6705950
1 is good enough
It's just some girl with a basketball
Now, excluding the actual context of this picture; why would you need to go beyond 1, when the differences are just the saturations, highlights and the realistically rendered disney face? Why would you need to load an image with every single possible information? Simple; it seeks to appeal to the average non-art-consumer, that is why it doesn't dare to go in a different artistic direction.
It's the same point as of why AI is accepted by normies and consumers; because it just looks like a photograph and takes as much as pressing a button.
>many artists get stuck there
>wowing normies is just a side effect.
That is a conscious decision then because the side effect might be worth the hassle.
Why not draw stick men? Because it don't wow normies.

Can you actually explain, with elaborate words, on why something is gorgeous and considered high quality if done realistically?
Or is it because;
>"omg it just looks like it was real and i like it"
I mean it in a non-hostile way, my dear faggotron.

It’s over for artlets.
