Let's hash this out once and for all, what is the right thing to do if you want to succeed as an artist here?

>> No.5022421

If you want to succeed as an artist don't use this place for critique and learn to fix your own work.

if something this simple makes him give up then he was NGMI from the very beginning

Guide yourself. Learn to critique your own work as thoroughly as you've been trained to critique White Civilization

there's two kinds of people in this world, those ones who pull the wagon and those one on top of the wagon.

There aren't enough artists in the world to warrant the "competition" argument. If you didn't make it, you probably just weren't good enough and should have studied harder. Don't be a dick for no good reason. Having artist friends among your contacts is helpful in the long run anyway.

Not true, 90% artists are trashy friends. If everyone collectively crabs, then we can ensnare a large % of the up and coming artists, at the very least waste as much of their time as possible to stunt their growth.

This is how an insecure talentless low life speaks. You can see the shitty personality sifting through the screen.

Maybe stop being such trash so you attract people other than trash. Your collectivist crab suggestions speak volumes about yourself.

Maybe I'm just misinformed, but what I hear about the animation industry is that people crab and stab your back all the time. But it could also just be an LA thing

All of these.
Your most valuable feedback is the kind you give yourself. Just because someone else is competent in your eyes doesnt mean they owe you a free mentorship program, and the people who take time outta their workload to help you deserve respect.
4chan isnt the place to seek these type of things, though. Seek medical attention if you think that.

I got into artwork because I wanted to become a positive influence on the world, even if I'm insignificant. Definitely the former, for me. I just want more good shit, whether it's me making it or someone else. The two aren't even mutually exclusive, anyway.
