I think it's finally time to answer the age old question. Why is no one here good?

no
>i'll be good in a few years

[Anonymous No.5132125]

What do you expect? Why would objectively good artists mingle with the underage anime obsessed zoomers that lurk here? Plus the misogyny severely limits the audience, then the racism limits it again. Cut out the faggots and the trannies, then the people who don’t like hardcore porn on their screen every two minutes, the people who can’t stomach the pedos, plus the ones who get disgusted by the furfags so there goes most the normal people and you’re left with autistic retards and edgelords who are incapable of self assessment and therefore artistic growth

Posting your art on /ic/ as somebody good is an invitation for skitzos to come to your hose and slice you in your sleep.
You will have more chance to survive posting your address on craiglist and writing "come murder me 1k bucks to whoever does it first"
There is nothing NOTHING worse than somebody really bitter about his failure obsessing over you.

there are plenty of social media artists that normies love that said they've lurked here before. this is not an answer regardless because there's limitless resources on art education that flows through this board and the normal people that browse still aren't at a decent level.

Does it surprise you that artists have visited one of the larger art communities even if it’s a shithole? The point is they leave

Breaking news, social media persona is a farce

[Anonymous No.5132176]

they find a discord where their dicks are sucked because they are good and the average members are better than ic and so they get better crits there so why bother posting here?

>Why is no one here good?
lmfao how new, newfriend? this is not the age old question. there are plenty of very skilled artists here with 10+ years experience.

the age old question is, why the fuck do they waste their time coming to this cesspool of retarded fuckheads?

I'm good (living off my art) but I'd never use my real name/handle here. What's the point, you wouldn't know whether I'm really who I claim to be, and I don't want the hordes of bitter crabs to follow me back to my social media.

Plenty of good advice is given here amidst the trash, which should tell you that some people are good... unless you really just can't tell the difference.

Yeah, you aren't a pro. Or at least not somebody that makes enough money to live comfortably.

[Anonymous No.5132231]

Plenty of people are good. Just look at the social media thread.

>what's your point
Well it seems pretty obvious. No one that posts there art here is good. I don't give a fuck about you pseuds who keep saying they're too good to post here. What was the point of your response other than to reassure your ego?

retard, people don’t want to associate themselves with the site now because it isn’t cool anymore
just a few years ago they would have, which is why all the examples are “in the past”
the only reason you might want to be connected to 4chinz now is if you’re mrmalademum and you’re desperately trying to pander the archetypal user

theres no point to posting here once youve made it
unless you enjoy being crabbed

[Anonymous No.5133244]

This board's idea of good = popular on social media, admit it. You're all obsessed with it to your own detriment. Popularity is nice but only weakly correlates with excellence. I've seen a few anons say you should never be inspired by any artist that posts to /ic/, regardless of any genuine merit. As if this place marks you. When you collectively foster that kind of exceedingly negative atmosphere, nobody famous wants to attach their name. But good? You can find good.

not very marketable unless you start making an alt-right webcomic. Kind of the only place I ever see this art style, and at any given time there's like two or three guys that make a living doing that, so idk anon. Diversify your bonds, nigga.

Diminishing returns. As you get better you gain less and less from posting here. Something needs to come around, if not critique, then a pleasant community, or praise, or meeting good people. You get none of these, just a bunch of zoomer assholes posting disgusting shit. The only people who have something to gain from posting here are those who draw porn because they get patreon buxx off of it.

m8 I didn’t condone or condemn it, it’s just a fact. The things I said are all things that drive away most people. when the only acceptable thing is white straight man it’s a significant minority of the population, then just the artists is an even smaller niche, then the once’s who tolerate the other bullshit is a tiny number of people. And a tiny number of people get actually good to start with out of the entire population. Why on earth would the remaining people want to be here?
