riiiight, right, "talentless" is just a critique. you're full of shit and i don't know what you think you have to gain from all this

i thought you were one of those "i draw commissioned fetish porn for a living and AI has threatened my livelihood" ppl
my bad
like i said i sucked at my hobby and busted my ass to be better at it
it's not fun and wasn't worth it
all i'm saying is if you aren't making art for a living, and have no intention of self improvement, you shouldn't pay attention to anything outside your own art.
like i said, i sucked at my hobby. i got hella critique the first time i posted anything i painted online. it (personally) spurred me towards bettering my technique.
but if someone is super happy with their own achievements at whatever skill level the possess? fuckin awesome.

like not being a shit, if you just like drawing and are completely content w/ the things you draw and aren't trying to make money off of them? hell ya. your shit is rad. there is absolutely nothing wrong with creativity, no matter the skill level.

like here's a good example. my favorite band is the smiths. most of my favorite versions of their tracks are lives complete with the imperfections that are inescapable from a live. it feels more "real" to me. so i "get it". but i'm also a realist that has lived and worked in industries susceptible to these things my entire life.

if you wanna make art? make art for you. fuck the haters.
if you wanna make art for money or recognition? be prepared to be absolutely eviscerated by the market and any casual observer.
