why don't you guys push your own styles more? realism and anime are huge here, but it's easier to get attention with a unique style.

doesn't have to be fancy. ed roth turned this style into a commercial empire in the 1960s.

because no one comes here to make their own style. they come here to copy the same boring derivative uninspired gook shit that everyone else is doing.

because they are talentless fetishist posers only interested in getting off or making money

There's literally a general

>why don't you guys push your own styles more?
I am pushing my style though. I mean, I will later... This week I just got drunk and played video games.
>>
>>7730868
I think I have unique influences
>>
>>7730929
correct
>>
>>7731021
Which artist is this?
>>
>>7731028
What do you mean, it's me
>>
>>7731021
Very cool anon, what tools are you using?
>>
Nobody wants to coom to Edvard Munch inspired expressionist paintings.
>>
Nobody wants to see an ugly green rat. They want to see an anime girl with rat ears and a rat tail. Naked, I might add.
>>
>>7731046
Oil paints, Copic markers, water colours, pen and ink, whatever I have around the house
>>
i have literally never seen a single good thread in this general that started with a question
>>
>why don't other people make this thing i want to make so i dont have to do it?
>>
>>7730868
no, anon
I'm going to draw what I like the way I like it
also, a "unique style" is often just sad cope for settling for a lazy and ugly formula
>>
>>7731060
Cope
>>
>>7730868
why don't you?
>>
>>7730868
This is assuming realism and anime are monolithic styles, when they're very much not, especially outside of commercial art. They're largely retroactive and meaningless categories.
>>
>>7731428
you know what OP means, don't be obtuse
>>
>>7731628
I know what he means, but he's wrong. Pretty much everyone here who does 'realism' draws completely different. As does everyone who does 'anime', and none of them look anything like actual industry anime.

OP is either putting things into arbitrary categories so he can justify disliking them, or he's a troll, probably the latter.
>>
>>7731428
>when they're very much not

no. they "very much" are. and you are dishonest for insinuating it. Normies are more aware of things like anime style than any other time. They are upheld as masters of their craft by many, and there are little to no voices that oppose their trite in the cultural sphere.

for worse it has become its own artform, whether it is deserved or not

i like your style.
>>7730868
I have my own, ive been drawing for years, i was inspired by matt greoning and R.crumb growing up.
>pic related
one of my recent drawings.i just use pen and paper.
>>
>>7730868
making your own style is pure rng, you can't control your character and if it happens to be something the world doesn't like, then you're shit out of luck. Its much smarter to mold yourself after already successful examples.

thanks man, my dream is to be like matt Groening and R. Crumb, just be loved for my art and people collect my work, im excited for the future
>>
>>7731917
So are you going to tell me that Spirited Away, Berserk, and One Piece all look the same? Does Ruan Jia paint anything like Edward Hopper?
>>
>>7732405
to normies, yes
>>
>>7732534
Who gives a shit about normies?

Are you a normie? You sound like it
>>
>>7732542
the point is, the current economic model influences creators based on the hallucinations of
the general public. normies catagorize media using wide uneducated swaths, and those primarily motivated by profit exploit that.
Its like the early frankfurt schools, dadaism and cubism, they sold the likes of Picasso as "gods" through marketing, and we got a manufactured "revolution" of modernism and deconstructionism as a result. No college educated cattleperson would dare assign them as anything less than masters of their craft, never knowing art schools, galleries and columnists belong to an incestuous band of money hungry degenerates.
>>
>>7732557
Do you really think a normie knows what dada is? You're just spouting pseud bullshit. Stop pretending to be an artist, get your head out of the art history shit, and go actually put art out there.
>>
>>7732577
no normies dont know anything about the history of how art got fucked. thats why we have these problems in the first place retard.
>>
>>7732577
Anybody that went through ANY secondary art class knows about Dadaism. It’s just that most who went to those classes were probably bored to death. Not everyone is interested in art history which is why the art world is fucked in so many areas. There has been so many repeated mistakes.

This board is full of good artists who have their own style, it’s why I like coming here. The best thing about art is seeing someone’s soul in their work and pondering the sum of their experience.
>>
>>7732633
That is a lot of words about art from someone who does not draw.
>>
>>7732637
thats alot of braindead drivel for someone who wants to be taken seriously
