So I really hate the idea of an artist presence, mainly because I'm not very good at art. But every time I finish something it feels useless rotting in my google drive and I don't want to pester the one friend I have by sending them my art all the time, so I don't think showing it personally is a good idea either. I was thinking moreso the kind of art that would randomly show up on boorus and whatnot, but can't be traced back to the original source. How can I achieve this, or should I continue to keep hoarding my art that no one will ever see?
no
>>8026433post on 4chani've seen my stuff show up on twitterwhen people ask for a name to tag it under, i don't give them any
>in my google driveYou are cattleStore your drawings in your computer
>>8026438unironically everything I've posted on /v/ gets screencapped by some indian desperate for elondollars on twitter
>>8026433>would randomly show up on boorus and whatnot, but can't be traced back to the original source.9/10 because the og artist nuked their account due to mental illness or because they got hired and told to delete their account or stop uploading(usually this). The few times on what you're describing happens when someone uploads their art on an anonymous board like here, but that requires your art to be actually decent.
>>8026433Just post it on anon boardsIf people like it, they'll add it to boorus>>8026439Also this, the fuck is wrong with you people
>>8026439thats what I used to do and then my old ass computer killed itself and I had no usb, I'm too broke to go get it fixed so now I use my other one that I used to use for school
>>8026439letting you know, make sure to shut off the cloud settings for whatever computer/device you're using, because it's being saved somewhere in a Microsoft or google drive.
>>8026433you're asking to market yourself without doing any of the required steps to market yourself
>>8026433Make art that would make for a good reaction image?
>>8026438>post on 4chanAnything but this
>>8026433This might be the most retarded post I've seen on this board and that's saying something
>>8026433You just put it out there man. I had reversed image searched my art the other day to check my opsec (it's atrociously terrible) and find it in the most damndest of places. Youtube thumbnails mostly, sometimes people steal it and claim they made it, sometimes people just repost it into communities without crediting anybody. It feels kind of surreal to be like, one of those artists that is good enough to where people use my art for stuff like that.
are you me
>>8026433PYW
Just don't sign your shit or use a legible name if you do. I use the same scribble for my drawings and my taxes and even when I get reposted on boorus nobody knows who the fuck I am.Sometimes they used image search to find my twitter but these days it stopped working, I don't know if it's the new AI, Twitter and Reddit blocking Gemini's scraping or just the Indians devs who fucked up but now one in five of my pictures works.
>>8026441you too?the difference is that i'm aware of it, where they reside, and constantly fuck with them2 of them already killed themselves
>>8027435meds
>>8026433/a/ drawthreads are pretty good at stuffing into a booru.
>>8026433I am like this. I have multiple throwaway accounts. I post stuff on some random community for like few months and then vanish completely and start over somewhere else. I like to do and show my art but I hate any kind of attention.
>>8026441the internet would be at least 50% healthier if twitter and youtube removed engagement monetization.>>8026447i had a samsung phone with cloud shit turned off, then it had an update and leaked all of my shit to samsung's cloud. only way to avoid it is to use linux or grapheneOS. apple, samsung, google, microsoft: they all have cloud shit baked into the OS. doesn't matter how tech savvy you are, you cannot win against a computer designed to screw you over.>>8026442i miss RiceGnat and DarkArtsKai. never go industry. they'll replace you with gen AI sloppers anyway.>>8026446do you not have an external SSD? they're like $200 for a 2 TB one and they last half a decade.
you're too prideful to risk getting recognized and being judged but you need approvalfuck you
