/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Soul: art that expresses the artist's inner passion - his or her soul; radiates human warmth
Charm: approximate synonym of the above, but with more of a connotation of outer charisma, rather than tumultuous inner experience
Appeal: the anime twitter cumbrain's ghettoized slice of the latter two

Why are you so fixated on them? There's literally random ass Spanish punk bands that mog Shart-182. I'm not even against your central argument per se, but holy nuggies, there's got to be a better analogy to make your point about talent

If you feel *artistically* threatened by AI (not monetarily), you were NEVER going to make anything of artistic value. It's a foregone conclusion. Like I genuinely think you're an enormous dumb, tasteless fag if you're hailing the death of art based on the pure stream of visual pink sludge that gets spit out by the assembly line
It's like fearing royalty free music as a musician, it just makes no sense if you "get" it, and if you don't get it, well...

I switched to a so-called "globohomo" illustration a while ago and haven't looked back. Shit is easy as hell, fun to do, still incredibly in demand, and commissioned from large corporate clients that have hugely inflated art budgets.

But hey, keep shilling your $5-$25 commission charts drawing peoples "OC" :^)

Too many people (especially on /ic/) think that large social media following somehow translates into success, or that it will be the answer to all their problems. They think that if they build up their following, the commissions will start rolling in, art directors will discover them, they'll be able to build up their Patreon, etc.

These things happen, sure, but for a vast majority of people, the frequency of these passive opportunities will not happen enough to sustain yourself on their own. You must be putting in effort outside of social media. If you want to freelance, for example, you must be compiling your work into a portfolio and pitching it to art directors on a regular basis. If you want to build up a Patreon, you need to be laser focused in your intent and lean in hard to a specific niche for a long time, and never stray from it. I see a lot of Patreons here, linked from blogs that are full of scattered and unfocused work that will inevitably go nowhere.

without talent you'll never make it no matter how smart or hard you work
take the talent pill, kiddo
