>>come to realize that about 80% of the art I see from artists FAR better than me I would not have felt satisfied with if I made it

Unironically I see this a lot. Generally it's the composition that's bad. Like if I was doing thumbnails, and I came up with that as a little doodle, I wouldn't have bothered with it. But most artists just go ahead with it anyway, usually if it's an actual competent artist it's due to deadlines and they just have to put something out so they don't have time to find the right composition.

A lot of artists just don't care and just finish what they start because they have a much better work ethic than us.

Example, pic related. Really good MTG artist, but I really dislike this piece of his just because it's an awkward and dull perspective and the I can't tell what the fuck the scale of everything is supposed to be in relation to eachother. Like is the sphinx just really fucking big (which is unusual as sphinxes, both in MTG and in typical artistic depictions are the size of lions), or is it just really close up?
