>>8012751It’s kind of insane how soulless he is. Literally a turbonormie who just woke up one day and decided to make a career out of art. Kind of inspirational too though, because if he can make it anyone can
>>8012752it's what happens when you take the academic path and then try to draw stylized art from imagination. It turns out, if you don't actually understand what you're drawing outside of reference, and don't consistently make an effort to stylize those rules, you end up not being able to draw shit except still lifes and figure drawings.

>>8012752The average anon doesn't have the connections. That's what it's all about if you want to be successfull. It's not about the work you produce but about the name you have.
>>8012758>average american artist
>>8012763
man going through the archive to post these. Looking at what ic was before, holy shit, this isn't even a drawing community anymore. wtf happened? People used to actually have memes about drawing now it's just... idfk what the hell this place even is man
>>8012761always makes me kek
oh wait I see. It was AI and its niggers that essentially killed board culture. You can see a shift in culture as AI begins to rise
>>8012781>wtf happened?Covid and AI10 years ago I thought 4chan reached the absolute bottom and couldn't get any worse but it managed to get exponentially worse every year after
>>8012796it's depressing really. The people that tried to foster a culture left and so all that's left is this board in a state of social decay. I'd try to begin recreating some form of culture but i think a large part of this board's culture dying is because of the constant sharty raids and trolling. they don't do it as much anymore because there's nothing left to destroy or troll
yeah the memes in the 2025 threads are just people bitching about ai art and pointing out retarded aibros. alright im done bumping
>>8012751
>>8012729I lold
>>8012781>what happened zoomers
>>8012781Current /ic/ is just almost nothing but chatroom threads where text post out weights actual artwork a minimum of 5:1 if there's even art being posted at all. It's just not interesting to engage with as a person looking for art community and the conversations themselves are steaming fucking dog shit as far as the eye can see.
>>8012781there was definitely more of a shared goal among everyone of making it that felt like it was within reach as long as you dedicated yourself. When AI entered the conversation that glue that held the community together dissolved. There isn't a shared goal or struggle anymore. It's just a bunch of people posting their art almost like an instagram or twitter feed.
>>8012781its zoomersgenuinely a fucked annoying pest generation
>>8012786kek
>>8012799Too real.
>>8012825The thumbnail makes the ugly little sculpture look like a bunch of cute lil' seals... so I was gravely disappointed.
>>8012781Ai retards got it in their heads that this is the board to advertise on because /g/ is permanently unemployed.
i miss threads that dissed Kr0n Pr1nz/ Ilya
>>8012721Why is this considered a joke? It genuinely looks better than a lot of the stuff being posted here.
Obligatory post
>>8012768not matter how many times i see this i'm always amazed how they mistook the anime snout nose for a cheekbone, that fucked their drawing up more than anything else
>>8012781If had this place 5% of the moderation /a/ gets it would be slight better.
I was here to witness this one. Poor anon never posted again (i think)
>>8013108what is this
>>8012987It does until you look at it for more than 5 seconds and realize how boring it is.
>>8012987its just generic, not bad per se. on the other hand, boring is the worst a medium can be imo. a boring movie is worse than a bad one. of course it can also be combined into bad and boring, worst of both worlds. i digress. make it fun is the bottomline
>>8012781past generations were more willing to be earnest and make fun of themselveszoomers and alphas are too scared of being cringe, the rare ones that do post art treat it as an extension of their social mediathe overall effect is that an entertaining shithole has turned into a boring shithole
>>8012781zoomers
>>8012987Think about it this way, once upon a time, people on ic actually drew, and were all trying to get into concept art/the industry. So this, was hilariously generic
>>8013239Oh no not this fucking guy. Post the "realistic" head page.
>>8012751People who think the shit their dogs do are endlessly funny and need to be shared with other people are mentally ill.
>>8013283this but children
>>8013285Yeah, it's the same mentality, but with a kid it's slightly less pathetic, especially if you're a woman.
>>8013051It would be less fun>>8013089This belongs on deviantart. So he probably went back there
>>8012781People here are too busy bitching about zoomers to draw or post their work. Just a bunch of old men yelling at clouds.
>>8012781the older gens had it easier and could laugh with eachother. new gens are in constant competition and if you dont take yourself seriously 100% of the time and project some form of success, you are automatically a "lolcow." as a zoomer everyone i meet is dull and mean, even old people.

>>8012758I refuse to believe this is real...
>>8013335the best part is that most of his other work is kinda stiff and boring compared to this fetish stuff
>>8013335it is real, your favorite fantasy illustrator is just a cuck
>>8012758is this personal artwork or commercial?
>>8013335>I refuse to believe this is real...
>everyone blaming zoomers for ruining this board28yr old zoomzoom /beg/ here. I agree. My attention has been oneshot by instant gratification which is why i can only seem to draw in intermittent 3-month bursts before burning out and resetting my skill level. Can't foster a culture if everyone is a tourist. it's a shame too because i actually really enjoy being able to zone out for 6 hours drawing a snake. but i'm a junkie for porn and youtube so any remaining scraps of energy go towards salaryfagging and drinking alone
