/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I would like to do these things in my life
>get famous to the point of making some cash with my art. Not necessarily a living because I'm a programmer.
>make a comic
>become a concept artist for a cool videogame

whatever your definition of making it is.

However I think most probly refer to is getting to do what you love every day without having a second job.

And you could also argue that part of making it would mean not making degenerate/porn art, but a lot of people in here seems to think the opposite.

>not wanting to make a shitton of money drawing fulfilling anime titties all day every day
ngmi

>>4020245
Make it mean you make it

That's that

>>4020245
If you made it, it means you didn’t trace it. Otherwise someone else made it

>>4020245
theres already a thread for this. stop repeating the same shit

>>4020356
Tell me where it is and I'll suck you off

>>4020245
get a job in a big gaming company like blizzard or riot games

it's having the art skill to formalize whatever image you have in your head

not killing myself would be good I guess

>>4020245
Its a personal thing, I'm sure you know but making it isn't just limited to art, its about spending your time the way you want before you die. Some people will want money so that they can live off their craft, others find the act of creation fulfilling in itself.

>>4020245
To be so good at drawing I never have to draw again.

>>4020245
Once you'll get there, you will understand

get that mouth ready

having my art get recognized by a lot of people and not only my circle of friends

>>4020245
Being good enough to earn about 500-700 bucks a month by just drawing.
The other option is an hero.

for me it means to be able to create at least one piece of memorable art, just one, just one single picture that is able to steal someone else time, that has rythm, grace, beauty, inspiration, I dont give two shaits about money, anyways im quite the frugal dude, once I do my masterpic I will move to the pacific island to paint plaine air and farm like a faggot hippie.

In /ic/ I refer to "making it" as fulfilling one's art goals. When you're /beg/ you probably have some goal in mind like sustaining yourself for commissions, getting hired by a game or animation studio, reaching 100k followers or something like that. If you achieve that goal, that means you've made it.

based an wholesome

To be able to work for some top tier JP game companies like Nintendo, Square Enix... Would take me at least 3 - 4 years from now to get there, but I think I can make it.

>>4021689
Hope you mean as a freelancer?? Or on a short-term contract? Wage cucking is the ultimate failure at "making it"

>>4020245
It's not anything in particular, just what someone wants out of their art.

>>4021693
I have no problem with wage cucking. But yes I meant to work as freelancer as I don't plan to move to Japan. I saw some freelance works of illustrators like Yu Cheng Hong, Jeremy Chong, Wanke... for Square Enix, so there're chances for gaijins, they just require very high skill.

>>4021736
Well that's making it then! For you at least. Unfortunately I don't think anyone here can get you a job at square enix. Maybe try gitting gud and building a portfolio tailored to the company's tastes?

>>4020245
Make enough money to make a living while drawing the things I love, which is almost impossible. It's already hard enough to make a living with art without any sort of integrity. For original content you need something like connections or you have to be a god tier artist which I am not and probably will never be.

>>4020245
>a life of drawing anime tits
>a life where I have enough money to live on my own
>a life to pay for whores and camwhores for "reference"
this is making it to me and I'll be happy until I die if I could live like this it's probably not even very hard to achieve it

Reputation. That's all. Just reputation.

>>4020257
anon if i feel like im not going to make it soon enough in art, is programming worth a try

im in need of a career

>>4021669
500 bucks or die? You could literally work any job for 10-15h a week to achieve that. It's laughable to kill yourself rather than work two days a week in an art unrelated field.

>>4021669
>500-700
Free rent headass

>>4023283
>how to make it in art
>just get an art unrelated job
>>4023286
>he wants to earn money and pay rent
>what a fag, amirite?
sure is summery in here

>>4023307
500-700 is kys money, how tf do you pay rent and have expanses to survive unless you live in shitlands

>>4023307
Yes, I'd say work two days a week and spend the other five building your portfolio/ doing commissions.

500 is nothing. It's just dumb to an hero for that petty sum

>>4020245
Making it for me is being able to express myself faithfully and share it to the world. If I get good enough I can "money making it" if I try enough.

>>4023312
If i lived in the shitlands i'd need even less.
>>4023314
Money really isn't the main issue.
I'm currently spending less than 500 to live because i don't throw money at shit i don't need.
Also
>implying work is just, solely earning money
I'd need to fork out half my pay to even be able to go to work.
>It's just dumb to an hero for that petty sum
>Implying i'd an hero because of money
Then can everyone else on this planet an hero, please?
Honestly, all my problems derive from the existence of other people who cannot stop being faggots and suck dick all day

all I need is to able to make at least 12k a year and I can keep my head afloat, earning that much through freelance and commissions isn't unreasonable right
