is it more viable to be a meme artist than go the actual artist route?
>>7827046I'd rather beg for change under a bridge than draw a wojak
>>7827050you don't have to draw it. you just copy paste it.
>>7827062I don't even want to see wojaks. I'd rather be blind.
>>7827046That depends. Do you want to eventually monetize your works? Then yes.
>>7827046The fact that this tweet got thousands of likes shows that it's all just luck or trned hopping or haha funny so relatable omg he made a typo!People just want something they can quickly scroll past and activate their gooner brain for a second, that's why so much is just currently popular anime/game/gacha character in currently popular meme/trend pose/outfit
>>7827046I never met an artist that called themself just an artist. Irl artists tend to take pride in their medium so they will usually say painter, plein air painter, urban sketcher, illustrator, prop designer, comic artist or whatever. Only on the internet I hear so much talk of generic artists. Wtf does it even mean?
>>7827227Social media loves to turn their hobby into their whole personality
>>7827227When you say "artist" it could mean anything ranging from AI slopper to high brow contemporary art creator. The term got bastardized so much it doesn't really mean anything anymore, but people will usually assume you draw or paint in some way.
>>7827227anglos actually do call themselves artists irl because they dabble with drawing or painting on weekends, it's bizarreyou're never gonna see an actor or musician go "yes, a pleasure, I'm an artiste btw"
>>7827227I don't call myself artist either. Just say I draw stuff
>>7827046Do any of you losers even understand the point in creating art? This board is filled with social media addicts and consumers desperate for validation, pretending to be artists.
>>7827046You disgust me, actual vermin. What's the point of getting likes if its not because of your art? If all you care about is likes then why be an artist? Shit up the comment section of a viral tweet with a bunch of rage bait and u'll get likes. You're mindsets is repulsive to me on a primal level and your bloodline is a stain on humanity.
>>7827333The rarest diseases still have one or two otherwise notable sufferers in history. Meanwhile you can't name a single person who fully understood the relationships between fiction, entertainment, art and reality. Understanding this is so rare, it might as well not be extant.
>>7827333That's the problem, people have to monetize or record or upload everything. If it's not turned into some sort of social media post it's not worth doing.
>>7827046well, meme artist is the most profitable thing an artist can do, while second thing are animations. People like khylee or how ever you spell his name does almost everything. He's a meme artist, draws nsfw, flav0r of the week/month and boom he's making half a million from just patreon a long cause of that. You have to use as many options as possible if you want to make money with art if you don't want to join the industry.
>>7827333blah blah blah self-expression and buzzwords. you don't even understand the point of art like you claim you do. You should keep your artwork to yourself and never talk about it because why should the opinions of others should matter? There are always unnamed artist that would never show their work to anyone and people would find that work hidden somewhere after their death. You're just a retarded hypocrite.
>Person complaining that their art gets little attraction>Go through their posts>Original stuff has little to no appeal, most posts are begging or "muh algorithm" memes
