>majority of professional concept artists and illustrators are just privileged children with rich parents
Unrefutable

>majority

So even if it is true it is irrelevant

It's true. And the kids with non-rich parents will disappear into obscurity even if they get gud. Look at most famous artists through history and this is the case.

have fun competing with rich kids who had the means to get education when they were young, and didn't have to worry about getting a real job to pay bills

if you think you can't make it as a concept artist because you're not rich and priviledged then make yourself rich and priviledged.

with any luck you'll get to that level before you're 30
but then you'll always be behind those young kids with all the early education and connections

This is true. A lot of people I meet or heard about all come from money. You need money to get really successful in art. This isn't to say that it's impossible, but having parents with money or an SO with money helps, a lot.

[Anonymous No.4833290]

Doesn’t this apply to literally everything except wagecuck jobs, and that’s only because people with money don’t do them? If someone with money even did a wagecuck job they’d have the advantage there too and would quickly end up as your boss

[Anonymous No.4833569]

>>4833290
people from money have:
1. a position in life where they can dream of and focus on being an artist instead of thinking about what will pay the bills in the future since becoming an artist is a huge gamble
2. rich parents can afford to send their kids to art schools
3. even if you're poor and have a loving family they typically are very limited in how they can support your development. rich parents are more likely to send you to places when you're young that you can support your dreams

i don't see how really

you basically have no hope as an artist if you are poor and from the middle of nowhere

[Anonymous No.4833649]

Because people who don’t need their jobs don’t need to be grateful to get treated like shit. Plus the confidence that comes from growing up financially secure gives them a massive advantage socially. They’re more likely to be more popular with your coworkers and their managers. They’re more likely to have money to attend events with staff and buy people drinks. Just knowing you can walk out of a job at any time gives you a massive boost in how you get treated at work. Try making it obvious you desperately can’t lose your job and watch your manager abuse the shit out of you if you don’t believe me. There advantages in literally every area of life for someone with money, the world revolves around it. Obviously people with it do t bother wagecucking though, why would they. The guy with more confidence, better health, better clothes and more freedom than you always has the advantage on you. Obviously they’ll rise through the ranks significantly faster than you. This isn’t a cope, it’s a fact. Money makes it very easy to be pals with anyone including your bosses

sounds about right

[Me again No.4833659]

>>4833649
ps this isn’t to say you can’t be an illustrator. I’m just saying to the OP that the same applies to everything you do. People with money are better off and at the top of everything. Just because you can’t be at the top doesn’t mean you can’t make a living. You’re just not going to be doing dreamy jobs designing characters you like for vidya. You’re gonna do a lot of drawing shit you’ve got no interest in. It’s either that or fill a lot of spreadsheets you’re not interested in, or having constant phone calls you’re not interested in. You get the gist, pick a poison

Lmfao the majority of those kids will burnout young and never even do anything in art. I’ve seen this trend for the past 2 decades.

that's likely if they don't get a job immediately
but they still have more of a chance of getting a job than you

[Anonymous No.4833711]

>>4833687
I think it’s half that, half the fact that they don’t have to commit to one thing and become masters so they move on to the million other options of things to do with your life. Poorfags have everything riding on this if they commit to artlife and can’t exactly bail half way down the line.

Richfags can say ok I want to learn, pay for great schooling/tuition, get average then say okay I’m gonna go ride jet skis in Barbados. They put up an easel in their second home and throw some paint at it once every 2 weeks and tell new people they meet they’re an artist

kind of a cartonish way to view the rich and what it means to come from a better position in life

rich art fags are the people who don't need to worry about inhibitions

[Anonymous No.4833729]

>>4833714
I’m not generalising all rich art fags into one specific literal scenario. I’m talking specifically about the burnouts previous commenter mentioned. I’m just saying I’m sure the majority of rich folks who jump right in don’t end up as serious working artists. The view sounded cartoonish cause it was basically a caricature of an example

[Anonymous No.4833734]

>>4833729
those aren't the richfags who get into art we're talking about
we're talking about the rich kids who got interested in art at a young age and never stopped doing it because they had nothing inhibiting them and had everything supporting them and act like other people are lesser because it doesn't even occure to them that people could never have their opportunities

[Me again No.4833736]

But nonetheless the same artists who jump in and drop out are inherently more likely to have more connections and opportunities in the industry should they choose to take them

There are some scholarship kids at art schools. They do usually live off campus in the ghetto though

art school is expensive and only rich fags can afford it
but even with scholarships there's no guarantee you'll get a job in the future
even with college being completely paid for people who aren't rich still need to worry about the future
