Can we have an art improvement thread? I've started taking up art again seriously for the first time in like 3 years and seeing amazing improvement between old and new stuff would be inspirational.

what? Why do people hate him? I thought he was an inspiration because he started from nothing and got really good over time. I've been on /ic/ for about a year and honestly never encountered negative speech about him. But then again I only see him brought up once every so often.

Honestly sorry though, I wanted to see this thread succeed not cause problems.

It's very easy if it's a smaller con, and it was way easier back in 2011. They didn't even ask for an ID or anything. So long as I gave them the money, I was golden.
Some bigger cons have jury systems so the alley isn't filled to the brim with the babbysfirsttablet scribbles of a 14 year old, but its rarer. Most small cons are just happy to fill up the alley at all.

Giant "little" muscular girls destroying things. I think going to a gallery full of bob ross like environment paints is more interesting than looking at your work, and that's a lot. Who cares about story when the subject matter is so untasteful and bland to watch? Really lame that you have this fetish because you have skills.

Also, with this kinda of fetish so intense that you almost only show those works I would probably look into professional help.
