It really do be like that.
It really do be like that
I don't know how many times this has been posted, but the answer remains the same.
If the only reason you're doing art is social media engagement, you have no right to be upset when people who exploit trends on social media get better engagement than you do
yet another proof on why Marx's theory of labor is flawed
Reminder Krekkov, Mr. "DRAW MY OC" himself, (along with other popular porn artists on Twitter) tried to dunk on this guy for drawing for attention. Despite having 500k followers and having his art being reposted by Drake.
"waaaah pay attention to me!"
Twitter art cliques are a mean bunch.
you draw for yourself or not at all
if along the way you strike fame, it's an added bonus, but it should never be the underlying fact.
I was thinking about this comic the other day because it also kinda happens to me, I always post my silly oc art and I literally get no replies, but I bet if i Posted some of my horny drawings people would love it.
I think is far, people have the right to show interest in what they like, if people are horny they can be, I would probably would feel weird if my OC was really popular, I only draw her because I enjoy it really. Drawing is fun, I wish more people could break trough the early stages of pain to see that.
you draw for yourself or not at all
No artists actually thinks like this. Especially ones on twitter.
LOL
The ones who draw OC shit sure they do, it's the trend chasers that don't.
this was nearly 3 years ago
And it's still correct
Want attention
Get it
"Why won't they leave me alone? :("
I've had this rant about "OC" brewing for 5 years.
When you post a random character please for the love of god answer this one question" HOW THE FUCK ARE WE THE AUDIENCE SUPPOSED TO ENGAGE WITH THIS?"
It's a character in a void doing nothing. All we can do is either say "oh that's neat" or nitpick it. That's it, and if we do the later then we're the assholes for not thinking some random amateur 20 something isn't the second coming of Jack Kirby because they post a j-cupped streetwear clad quirky demon girl #5437976786545654 doing a tik tok meme with no background.
Most of us as artists (yes myself included) do not compare to the veteran powerhouses with 30+ years under their belt. We suck because that where everyone fucking starts so please stop acting like we're supposed to treat your slop like the masterpieces you're ripping off.
it's the trend chasers that don't
so 99.99% of artists
implying twitter artists draw for themselves
Don't you have another book bra piece with Hex Maniac to draw, faggot?
Now post his art.
i-is that a popular flavor of the month anime waifu traced over a meme? holy based! im gonna COOOOOOOOM
Are you the nigga who drew this
No, I'm just saying that all the twitter artists that criticize him are literally no different. Most notably porn artists. They act exactly the same and complain about engagement/views all the time.

You enjoy Cocomelon for ironic weebs.
I'll take it as a yes.
I mean, people don't get randomly attached to characters they find online.
You have to make your character endearing, either through random images showing them doing funny things, or by actually developing a story with them, and i mean real story, not some bios that you read in a profile.
But what about Toucan Henry?
most people are dumb
yup
but wtf is an "oc artist" anyways? no one loves the various corporate characters because their creators draw slick pinups of them. theres an actual high production media they stand on. if you want people to gush over individual drawings of your characters you gotta produce a whole tv series first.
It really do be do be do bah do be do be do bah
What if it's like this
I think it's kind of wonderful artists are now using AI to create base models they can trace over and adjust. That's right. Artists trace. Professionals especially.
3D models and poseable figurines have been doing that for a long time already desu
PRAISE ME! PRAISE ME!!!
Fuck me, it's that easy? I don't actually have to break my fucking wrist and shoulder in half struggling with my disability to make janky chickenscratchs shit, I can just fucking gen a pose for the silhouette and then just gradually over time add the details?
It's not a comic. It's not a cartoon. It's not anything meaningful we can do anything with.
where is it?
IGNORE ME IGNORE ME!!
Khyleri fucking sucks, its safe edgy bullshit for weebs
