What's the downside?
>A minimum wage job at triple the effort and time it will take a mcdonalds employee to get the same amount of money.
>Not having a real vision, soul or individuality
>Creating art just to leach out of someone else's fanbase
>Knowing that you're a C tier version of somebody else and everyone else knows that fact

Maybe your objective is to draw silly pictures for a couple of bucks and that's fine I guess. I just think there are more things in art to strive for.
But if you want to waste years and years of training on a couple social media points and a minimum wage patreon go ahead.

>I genuinely don't care if I NEVER improve my art, I am done living for the standards of some father or proxy-father, I'm gonna do art for my fanfictions of children's cartoons because it makes me happy, and I don't fucking care if that doesn't fit someone's retarded scope of what that person doing that, IS. Better permabeg than permastuck.
Honestly that's beautiful brother. I wish I could have that perspective on art. Sadly I already wasted most of my youth persuing art and I can't back down now. I wish I could've make art something I did for fun again. Specially with all the ai shit that will probably leave me without a job in less than ten years and completely kill human expression in less than fifty.
Sam Hyde can be stupidly negative and a contrarian sometimes. But he once gave some great advice that is "Outcome independence".Wich is something that he probably didn't invent but a great thing to think about none the less.

I hope you can keep at it with your art journey and you'll make it friend.

Yes. Every fucking time I just look at some very cool or very coom fanart with 2k+ likes and open the user's page to find shit like
>19 years old
>hobbyist artist (paints like picasso)
>also animates
>25k followers
>studying to be a nuclear physicist (or some complicated shit like that)
>has a boyfriend/girlfriend

While I'm a dumb 22+ year old faggot that went to film school to learn animation. Can barely draw pin ups of girls and coomer shit to get commissions didn't learn to animate and only have a little bit more than a thousand followers. And I'm suppossed to be a "profesional" while they're doing the only that I ever cared about ten times better than me and as a fucking hobby.
