I've noticed that normalfags tend to not really care so much about the technical aspect of a drawing as much as other artists but trying to find the kind of content that they resonate with is the most challenging.

Themes such as relationships or relatable shit tends to strike a cord with them the most.

>white background pin up of currently popular anime/gacha character in the same generic sexy outfits
>the joke is sex/drugs with sexy OC or currently popular anime/gacha character
>random current meme references or redraws using popular anime/gacha characters

Normalfags don't care about artists. They will not bring you fame or money (I assume you care about that). You are wasting your time trying to cater to them.
>>
normies don't like art, but if you mean people that aren't super into anime and aren't goonerbrained--
>focus on composition
>appealing color palettes
>tone down the Sexie (if that's what you draw)
meme references are appealing to normies but you're better than that
>actually try to evoke some emotion besides horny or "they're hot"
>>
>>7957552
forgor to finish my comment.
something like your example picture causes me visceral disgust, i assume for normal people that is amped up 100x
despite the fact that it's technically impressive it feels too voyeuristic
>>
>>7957528
Globohomo art style that you see on ads, starbucks and gay parade posters
>>
>>7957528
>How do you make art thats appealing to Normies
Why would you want to appeal to normies? Kys
>>
>>7957556
Literally no one cares about that shit and it doesnt invoke any actual emotion in people.
>>
>>7957561
yeah, let me appeal to you autistic fucks that are never happy about anything and are so deep in irony you can't be bothered to make anything genuine.
>>
>>7957528
Unless you want to draw super realistic monochrome Walter White don't bother
>>
>>7957528
>actual normies that dont know what anime is
painting

>terminally online normies that like anime
bright colors, clear status and identity markers on the character, focus on character design complexity
>>
>>7957556
This shit is intended to be the most inoffensive and sanitized images it doesn't even qualify as art
>>
>>7957565
I mean there are plenty of legitimate complaints you could have about /ic/ culture and 4chan culture in general, but I don’t think “too deep in irony to be genuine” is one of them. People here are pretty straightforward.
>>
>>7957553
Why are you a subhuman?
>>
>>7957565
Because you're supposed to draw for yourself wtf??????? HOLY NGMI faggot. That's why your art will NEVER have soul.

Frieren + Politics or Vtubers + Politics is guaranteed to bring engagement like what Khyleri always do

>>7957556
thats a terrible example

>>7957564
it clearly invokes an emotion from some people

>>7957639
you have no idea what youre talking about
>>
>>7957556
Literally nobody likes that style, you see it only because company executives have been brainwashed into thinking it's the best thing ever because of le simplicity
>>
>>7957889
Ok but company executives have money so...

>>7957556
Calarts were replaced with slop

Make globohomo porn

>>7957528
No, any fotm anime (e.g. frieren), newest gacha character (e.g. hoyoslop product), moeblob (idiot dumb empty character that are 'cute'), meme, and colors, lots of colors. Those are what normies want to see. Relationships and fictional character shipping art in general are fandom territory, which are might as well play with fire.
Whatever your approach, I'm just going to tell you this: your artwork isnt relevant - the artwork that you draw for hours, days, or even weeks, they are not relevant for normies, because they dont care about details, about realism, about composition, anything, even having them staring at your artwork for a mere five seconds alone is a stretch, a new record high for their attention span. You could spend weeks thinking of doing symbolism with objects and implementing it carefully in your artwork but it will be useless because normies wouldnt get it. They dont want to think, they want to see people rendition from whatever flavor of the month anime that their master algorithm offered to their plate. To put it simply: your artwork is not substantial for them
Again, I'm just telling you this, take anything that you want from it, this is something that you need to understand when it comes to approaching normies audience
>>
>>7957528
draw popular shit and npc's come.
>>
>>7957673
That hasnt been the case in almost a decade.
>>
trace ai slop

>>7957678
ooga booga boobie picture good ooga booga make my penits hard is that better
>>
>>7958185
yeah this but why do you want to appeal to normies?
>>
>>7958456
Money? If not for that why care about what anyone online thinks to begin with. It's the only reason to draw for others appeal
>>
>>7958474
Okay, what are you plans? The normies I'm thinking off would never even think about supporting an artist. They are laughing at you for pursuing a career like that.
