unironically pyw
I had a period where I'd actually troll drawthreads by filling shitty requests with godawful drawings, I got shat on by the requester twice, and one of those times he got attacked by the rest of the thread for being an ungrateful entitled faggot, and I literally didn't even draw the character he asked for

anon, you won’t be making $150 a month, and your progress will stall because you’ll be busy shitting out requests for losers who don’t want to pay you
draw threads are a cesspit of botspam and literally any garbage gets praise and pretend-thanks because they don’t want to poison the well, they’ll shower you with empty praise, and the worse you are the more they go out of their way to praise you
I sometimes purposefully make awful deliveries (and I mean like barely drawing the oc and twisting the letter of the request and making to focal point a black guy’s asshole) and the response is usually “haha not what I expected but thank you” and whenever the guy actually calls me out on shitting on his request, he gets swarmed by faggots telling him to be grateful an artists spent his time fulfilling his request and telling him to fuck off, it’s the most reddit thing you’ll ever see, it’s all passive aggressive bullshit where they’ll thank you and then repeat the request 2 threads later hoping to get a better delivery
the worst part is that it’s unironically 50%+ bots mass requesting, all the regulars know it and it’s the cause of a lot of drama and shitflinging
the better moderated boards like /co/ have mods and jannies actually following the threads on occasion and you’ll see 100s of requests being deleted in the archives
/aco/ has several autists you’re wasting your time delivering for, and most drawthreads function by ignoring the resident spammers and autists, nut you won’t be aware of them
drawthreads are where shitty artists go to die, just don’t do it

Ever been in a draw thread?
I don’t mean to crab on the guy specifically, I’m just using it as an example of them being filled with empty fellating because compliments are free and they keep people happy.
It could very well be that you’re good and /ic/ is just crabbing, but most likely your work is utterly irrelevant and forgettable, but you get praised because no normal person is going to be critical of your passion unless it’s their job and you’re there willingly.
