Pic no releated, What do you think of the art sold at conventions? as an artist I find it extremely embarrassing walking and looking at like 99% of their stuff. Most have that look, I dont know what to call it. Character and plus the remainder space filled with random fire or weird stuff, why?Other type is girls that only sell excessively "cute" and usually originals. When I see their booths I imagine them to be huge coomers or something since they share that pink/cute type of cuteness with mega depraved online thots.Most of the alley artist, art looks amateurish like fan art, why cant they make it look a bit more pro? Or people just generally enjoy this, or they cannot do better.I wonder if they can't when another artist is walking and looking at their stuff versus that noobie that says "wow, your art is awosome, I xan barely draw a figure stick, hahha"First few years I used to buy arts from a few ones that tried or did characters I like, and to be honest I bought some just because of the character but thought their art was trash. If anyone is going to put a table at least try to be somewhat decent but not. Most of the arts are kind of slops for normies I guess. So yeah I walk as fast as possible and in the middle of the way so they don't think I am interested they usually give you that look "buy my art please". Why would I when I could my better art at home.I want art that makes me feel, jealous of them because it's so good and worth spending money on it, not art that makes me feel superior. I rather buy official merch than inferior bootleg art.
I wonder if they can or can't tell when another artist is walking and looking at their stuff. I usually just give them a look, like I know something.
Holy nodraw esl
I sold a color companion piece to this picture: a geisha dragon, wearing red with gold trim for her under robe, signifying her as a courtesan. I got $50 for it, bought by a woman who I knew would treasure it.
Many of them just like to draw dolls, not backgrounds. They never try anything different, they just keep doing the same techniques, the same brushes, the same color palettes and then blame capitalism for people not be willing to pay for that shit.>girls that only sell excessively "cute" and usually originalsIt's almost always an ugly woman behind a ridiculously cute art style. I think it's some sort of coping mechanism. "I'm not cute but I can produce cute things to make the world more beautiful to compensate my ugliness making the world uglier" or something.
People who are not talented enough to follow their dreams
I do think that it takes a lot of courage (or just not enough self awareness) to know that your art kinda sucks but still paying for a table at an event to try to sell it.Still, the biggest reality check will come to them once nobody buys their stuff or they end up selling almost nothing. My main problem with artists alleys isn't even their level, but the "variety" of products: low res prints and their bulk vograce order of stickers and keychains. Like, c'mon, at least make an small artbook with the same theme or a small comic or literally anything that requires you to draw more than a mannequin with the skin of your favourite characters in a white void.

>>7938200I think some some of them are cute but they are kind of weird, well at least their look gives that idea.
