deluded if you think there's an important difference*

The issue is that anons think anyone can be a KJG, a Michelangelo, a Murata, a Bouguereau...if only they do exactly the right procedure for exactly the right number of years. There's no innate component whatsoever, not even their motivation do actually get that good, no sir. So naturally I'm wondering, where are more of these freaks? There are billions of eligible candidates, but so few who get to that level. The argument starts to feel like sophistry. If you were going to be that, you'd be that, simple.
Funnily, I think being okay with doing your own thing and doing it as expertly as you can and is a kind of talent. You can get so fucking good at "your thing," your own special creative way of making art, if you have the right attitude about it.
But no, people would prefer to believe everyone is just a blank slate, having the same latent potential to be a KJG or a Mullins, discounting the life experience that made them who they were and their art the way it is. Instead of just being realistic about it and being than the artist they were yesterday.

It unironically is not impressive. Not with the style these nerds inevitably draw in (hard edge). Any notan, limited value, or "sculptural" style is best done on 1 layer, or maybe a couple. A lot of us already do the same thing in our program of choice, we just don't flex about it. But these MS paint artists are overwhelmingly teenagers with teen brain so what can you do.

>stopped browsing /v/ because i was sick of all the mentally ill teenagers screaming tranny at each other and posting the same pictures ad infinitum
>turns out it's not a /v/ problem, just a 4chan problem
Idk why I'm lying to myself in thinking there's worthwhile things to be found on /ic/, because there absolutely isn't besides the MEGA. No one can critique and no one can take critique, there's no passion here, just a bunch of weebs trying to make anime porn for a fast payout, unaware that their impatience and disinterest in the hobby at it's core will ultimately be their downfall.
I've got to find a better way to spend my time when I'm not bored, because 4chan isn't the fucking answer
