my new years resolution is to develop a parasocial relationship with internet people who like my particular artstyle because I don't like IRL people, what kind of things should I draw?
>>
>>7848222
you go into a thread about a particular game on /v/ or /vg/ or whatever you like and then you draw cute little versions of their favorite dork characters. boom money.
>>
>>7848246
that method doesn't work anymore, /v/ and even /vg/ are gen slop boards now.
>>
>>7848222
Join the generic twitter artist style.
nsfw of popular anime/gacha characters or haha drugs, haha slut art like khyle or snegovski
>>
>>7848254
its all slop, youre gunning to be a micro celebrity heckin based artist. fine art is not something this guy really cares about
>>
well first things first. Post your work.
>>
>>7848263
This. If your shit is good enough, it'll hit micro-celebrity naturally. But if your shit sucks, don't expect anyone to follow you.
>>
This won’t work unless you’re fully committed to it yourself. What really draws people isn’t the subject itself but how deeply you care about it.
You are chasing fame instead of passion.
>>
>>7848285
You people say the dorkiest shit. Internet randoms couldn't give less of a fuck about you and your "passions." Try drawing slightly different or unusual subject matter and see if it's your "passions" they care about. They just want their content stream of slop. Usually fan art or porn.
>>
>>7848297
You won’t stick with drawing things you don’t actually enjoy. Even if you force yourself, that lack of interest will show in your work.
Telling OP what he should draw isn't going to help.
>>
>>7848222
Start posting right wing politics
>>
>>7848222
Mirror mirror on the wall
Whose the biggest slopartist of them all
>>
>>7848254
nah that's not true. I browsed the dandy world threads for a bit. They literally do weekly drawing nights and there's a guy who draws deviantart tier drawings but he's liked nonetheless so they don't care about quality there they just like the characters. I posted my art a few times and they gave me a nickname
>>
>>7848222
You should draw a digital artist committing suicide, or at the very least, some visual allegory for the downfall of society, IMHO.

The sloppers were the autistic retards who simply tried to farm free comms non-stop so nothing is lost.
You can still go draw in generals if you aren't a clout farming faggot.
I see /ic/ anons on /vg/ a lot.
/v/? compretery dead
don't even try
>>
>>7848534
They can hog all the cheapies and freefags and find out how it felt dealing with $0-$5 dollar customers
>>
>>7848535
You're assuming they would care. They don't. They just want free shit.
>>
>>7848246
people there dont like AI slop. Its true that theres a lot of AI spam in genreals now, but they don't get much interaction. The AI spammers are people who finally have a taste of (you)s and now endlessly post AI to try and become thread celebrities, but nobody actually cares or looks forward to them. If you draw something cute or funny, you'll still have people reacting genuienly and it'll be a better reaction now beacuse its a breath of fresh air after years of ai crap.

People underestimate how good just being a person drawing and trying, really is. You'll get AIfags telling you to stop or they'll "Fix" yur drawing, but that just makes you look better in comparison.
>>
>>7848222
Post your art in a 4chan general. Like one on /v/ or /vg/. Do it enough and you'll get a special drawfag name and might even get stalked. Happened to me.
>>
>>7848548
Cope bitch. You're getting replaced.
>>
>>7848569
stfu and make me some curry
>>
Enjoy your dying commissions. And no (you) for you. Faggot.
>>
>>7848548
Can confirm this fully.
The slop generals are more like one anon and two bots just spamming lewds and cringey fanfiction.
You draw one shitty drawing and anons just give you positive reactions and then the sloppers try to insult you and they fuck off when you aren't the stereotypical soft artist or just ignore them and keep posting doodles and have fun.

Most aijeets are just 15 year olds who come here on 4chan only to spam insults while doing death threats on xwitter believing everyone is seething and malding at them or whatever the fuck anyway so they're pretty easy to deal with.
Most of the time they expect you to "seethe" at AI existing and when you don't give a shit, they just give up.
It's even funnier when they believe they can fix a drawing or compete with you but the artgacha machine can't copy the soul.

Don't engage them. Don't argue them. It's pointless anyway.
Just have fun and draw.
>>
>>7848572
See what I mean, the aifags are starving for (you)s and think giving them to people is bad, like we're playing a game of monopoly or something.
The best way to get (you)s is to be a likeable and supportive person.
>>
>>7848222
>find a niche you like
>draw for that niche
>???
>profit
If you are not sincere people will feel it
>>

>Most aijeets are just 15 year olds who come here on 4chan only to spam insults while doing death threats on xwitter
I found this funny cause those faggots always complaining like they're oppressed or some other bull shit and say they been getting death threats themselves. Those shitters always do this when they get the slightest push back from their retarded instigating/shitposting behavior.
>>
I've been drawing niche porn for the past 8 years in twitter and I have less than 2k subs and an average of 5 likes per post
For every artist that has 200k+ subs, there's 30 with 10k+ subs, and there's 10 000 with 1k+ subs

In my porn niche, the absolute topdog, top of the line aspirational goal and apex of our piramid, has barely 50k subs, and everything else is downscaled from that, so take that as you will anon
>>
>>7848798
if you weren't a beg you would get way more likes
>>
>>7848803
That's just how the game is bro, twitter has nothing to do with merit
>>
>>7848807
between having to look at DECENT and BEG porn, i'd rather look at the decent ones

now apply that to every person on twitter and that's the real reason you don't get as much likes and followers
>>
>>7848807
8/10 it does, skill matters greatly and reach you to higher places. It takes a lot longer to plateau compared to beg/low skill shit. to break that plateau you would have to be funny. I don't care what autistic shit that you found funny and the rest of your small retarded group, but if the majority of the people don't find it funny you're basically stuck and all of that is for static images/artwork. If you're an animator it's pretty much "easy" mode to gain traction. Not talking about the tweening or live 2d shit(basically static images 2.0), but frame by frame.
>>
I really don't get why an anon posts anything and suddenly there is an hyperaggressive retard just trying to insult them.
How the fuck would you know what his work looks like?
What are you even trying to discredit here? The fact that twatter is not skill-based?
If i showed you my shit that did likes 500+ likes you'd fucking kill yourself.
>>
>>7848835
we're in 4chan lil bro, people over here does rage baiting for a living, you bitching about it only validates them

just say fuck you or ignore them
>>
Kill yourself, OP. If you are too pussy to post your art here then you're not going to do it with a name attached.
>>
>>7848222
All you have to do is make a million posts per day, doesn't need to be artwork, just reply to every post and be generally a no-lifer who is absolutely everywhere 24/7. Eventually people will recognize you as the schizo they keep seeing everywhere they go, works especially well on 4chan if you namefag.
>>
>>7848832
>>7848817
Nothing of what you said applies to what I'm saying or what OP wanted, just wanted to let you know that
Nobody is talking about a wide perception of art posted on twitter
Nobody is talking about drawing pinups of Samus or Peach
Yes, your rambling would apply then because you would "compete" on the whole Twitter audience, a tasteful pinup of Samus can fit every-single-pool of art AND porn AND videogames and your better drawn pinup of Samus would be served more than a shitty one. Sure.
But OP was talking about niches.
>>
>>7848943
>But OP was talking about niches.
the same would apply for niches as well you retarded fuck.
>>
>>7848947
No it's not, because on a niche you won't be picky, you'll like what whatever you get fed on the timeline, there's no "i'll doomsscroll to find better quality porn of this super niche"
You are a fucking retard
>>
>>7848949
whatever you say you coping faggot.
>>
>>7848222
you can't even get parasocial relationships in 4chan /ic/ and this is the one website where no algorithm is enforced lmao
>>
>>7848222
>pick any fandom, something you like, please be genuine, people can smell a fake fan
>stream your process, bonus if you're a vtuber (just make a png)
if you don't stream it, people will assume it's AI
welcome to 2026
>>
>>7848569
You will never be an artist
>>
People will come up with any excuse except "draw well"

I had this briefly but with writing... Like other anons have said:

>Find niche you sincerely enjoy
>Create content for it
>Show signs of being someone people can interact with (!!!). Two paths for this:

>>Interact the MOST when you actually post content instead of constantly sharing life updates, this will create a moderate sense of mystique; if you just must post be certain it relates to art as a process, so your brainstorming, your love of colors XYZ, etc. Sparingly leave comments on people's stuff. They will be more inclined to DM you and seek you out.

or

>>BE GREGARIOUS AND ACTIVE. Ever present. Leave comments on the works of creators who you admire and enjoy. Be sincere... Don't waste your time pity or fake complimenting anybody, but *do* be free with compliments -- if it seems even a little nice, let them know. This is tough to do if you can't be charismatic; I did it but it comes with the risk of you fucking up and saying something dumb or lame publicly, so in hindsight I wish I took the first route as similar writers in my tier are still kicking..

All that said it's definitely, definitely worthless if your art isn't good. Internet strangers don't get para-social about a shitter (not in a good way anyway). You might not be able to tell from this post but I'm a really good writer, I had people constantly DM'ing me for writing tips, inspirations, etc. before I nuked my shit.
>>
>>7848222
Post your work and do commentary on politics and pop culture.
>>
>>7851986
Any writing tips for another writer, anon?
