The discussion is about 2D art specifically. Because of computers a professional 2D artist 10 years ago is a mediocre artist now. People spent years sculpting perfect statues. Now it takes about 2 months (easy mode) and a 3D printer to do any sort of sculpture you desire in any sort of medium you desire.

The reality of the matter is that in 2019 if your portfolio solely consists of the Sistine Chapel, no studio will bother with you. Etsy is still an alternative, though.

This is what happens to all professions btw. A doctor in the 18th century is seen as a crackpot now.

Oh, and don't imagine that if you're a 3D artist you're all set. Now studios expect you to be able to do some light coding as well.

Yes, I made that. I'm a 2D artist whose hopes of someday becoming a great comic book artist were shattered by what you can achieve with clever 3D shading, Photoshop actions, and the fact that nobody really knows or cares who the hell Kim Jung Gi is except for his peers.

I don't have a blog. It was rendered in Daz Studio.
