>YWN be an artfag on 2004-2015 internetHonestly seems like it would have been really fun and would have led to lots of good friends, but I could never draw for shit and now AIslop has taken over and all the cool art communities have been replaced with porn and lgbtranny rainbow shit.
You will never be a millenial
>>8080006and what did millenial uncs do with it? all squandered. maybe they made an indie game and some art hoe accused them of rape or something, thats the best case scenario. embrace the outsider artist lil zoomie/alphie
>>8080013Sorry, but I don't speak tik tok niggerese, nor am I absorbed into ephemeral cultural fads, so I didn't understand half the gutterbabble you just warbled off.
>>8080013Yeah, it's like people who dream of being like Shadman, who is literally a druggie racemixed guy who fired his brain with porn and drugs and living in a big city (dude was living on a Swiss farm his whole life)It's better to be some less known artist/streamer, make your small bank and have your life together compared to the mess these artists have been in most cases
>>8080017go back to working on the next YIIK or heckin night in the woods unc. hopefully you dont cut your balls off and become a xister or hang yourself when some foid does le false accumazation of da rape!!111!!!! oh noes epic fails bacon narwhal!!!! derp!!!!! xaxaxaxaxaxaxa
There trying to normalize it, dont allow it, dont allow the control, remember the realness of 2015, don't let them get you, let them call themselves out
>>8080020I'm physically, mentally and genetically superior to you btw
>>8080024so true xister. remember badger badger mushroom? and charlie the unicorn? yall uncs were mad heckin funny and talented, deadass.
>>8080018It's not like that at all but go off you 90 IQ spic.
>>8080025>bro im so much better than you>ACKS self over some foidalways happens to millennial artists. without fail
>>8080026That was not even what I was referring to, but yeah that did in fact come out of a culture vastly superior to yours, which is low iq autogynephilia combined with ghetto mimicry.
>>8080033beats talking about intersectionality while growing up in a 90% white school, and looking up to losers on tumblr who wokescold and browbeat. i have the right to talk like a nigger if i want i grew up around those animals and yes, some of their mannerisms are funny
>>8080029You're probably dumber than the skinheads I was fighting against 15 years ago :DEverything I said is true, as I say this as someone who's been on this board more than you've been drawing in your life =w=
How actually it was in 2003>CRT was so fucking big you have to put your tablet on your lap>retarded posture>internet doesn't even teach basic operations of program>midsize wacom tablet was 200USD which more expensive than today>post your shit on deviant art or newgrounds only 10 people view>95% of work were bad work
>>8080042how it actually was>pencil>paper>copy illustrators of old>???>money and pussy galore
>>8080044People who talk about art from the past like it was a money maker printer are worse than people who can't stop bitching about their shitcoins 20 years later
>>8080042another thing i didn't mention Flash game and animations were only thing you can upload in newgrounds. newgrounds art forum was launched in 2006, which doesn't allow NSFW
>"YWN be an artfag on 2014-2025 internet, why even live?">Anon, 2036The cycle will continue.
>>8080080i dont think this is an enviable time period at all. i doubt there will be any romanticism about it. its like saying >tfw didnt get to fight in ww1 or live during the bubonic plagueya sure its an "interesting time" but things are moving too fast. it will objectively be far better when things slow down, however long that takes from now. hell as a zoomie i wouldnt even want to grow up as a millenial, and that was waaaaay better than now, much rather be gen x or boomer
>>8080086Things are bad because people keep thinking in terms of "I was born in the wrong generation" instead of working with what they have
>>8080087it feels too uncertain. there isnt an established method now for most things cause of all the new tech coming out, it all feels very gold rush-y and make it up as you go. im not saying its hopeless but now it feels worse than ever to "work with what you have" cause theres a copy machine waiting for the end result to come so it can gobble it up without so much as a "thank you"
The communities are just in hidden trooncords, pedograms, fedtrix chats, etc now but if you find them you can still make art friends easily enough
>>8080093What's uncertain Good work = makes people happy Bad work = people don't like looking at it It applies to everythingI don't think old ways of doing things can due overnight, or that learning to use mcps/llms is something that can't be learned if you're younger than 40Old people are fucked, but they got fucked badly when internet appeared and instead of using it to their advantage they decided to ignore still. Still, most of them were doing fine for many many years, and when it got bad, the just started to maintain their online presence and got back to the business if they had something to offer.
>>8080086Things always feel fast as they are whizzing by, but look much better in the rearview mirror. People spoke of the 10's like they were absolute shit, but here you are saying that upto '15 was great. You'll no doubt hear people speaking of now in nostalgic or anemoiac ways soon enough.Not to say there isn't shit to be bothered by at this point and time, or there isn't more concerning shit right now in particular, but being too doom and gloom at any particular time means you'll miss all the good stuff. the late 30's and early 40's would have sucked (WWII), but we still look back on those times positively too, because a lot of cool shit was happening outside of the war as well (or even in part, because of the war).
>>8080006it was way easier back then to make it, you just had to be rich enough to afford a good pc and a good tablet.
>>8080086we are literally in the final years before global collapse and you're here on a tuesday morning defending the elites. (unless you're a thirddie where its midday for you)
>>80801582 more weeks and the world is ending saars
>>8080158i dont feel like im defending the "elites" at all. i'm saying things are moving too fast, things like ai are bad for business and blatant stealing of art. also no "global collapse" is coming anytime soon, start eating the tinned beans you have saved up now
>>8080165NTA but>40% of India had internet in 2025 and the percentage keeps rising>50% of internet traffic in 2025 was generated by bots and the percentage keeps risingThe collapse of the internet won't be in a way you imagine
>>8080168>40% of India had internet in 2025 and the percentage keeps risingGood grief. English speaking websites should just ban everyone outside of English speaking countries. I engage enough with indians from their telemarketing and scam calls, I don't need to see more of them.Not to mention all the weird larping they (and other non-english foreigners) do, like larping as extreme-right or left wingers, or running sigma male accounts, or whatever else.
>>8080006>tfw just being a beg with a tablet was enough to make a livable wage through commissions>now need to be the second coming of Raffaele Monti to get more than 10 likes on xitter
>>8080006You think you do but you don’t. All of the software like photoshop and clip studio had way less features and were harder to use. All of the best digital artists back then got good via trad art before moving to digital. Also, this digital art shit only became uber popular in 2015 after a post about how Sakimichan’s patreon income was $10k a month went viral. If you weren’t drawing since childhood then you probably wouldn’t even be here if not for the influx of interest after that event. The same thing also happened with software development around 2010 where it became common knowledge that Twitter and Facebook and Google programmers were making 6 figures so a lot of people decide to change careers to software dev.
>>8080173You still can get popular with dogshit art but you have to draw porn. For SFW there's no way to get popular without sucking a popular guy's dick for retweets though
>>8080006i sure hope you're out there trying to reach and connect with the people who are on the same wavelength as you and not wallowing in misery
