@butchemss@OffsetCivical Yes thats exactly it. Designer brands prove my point. Its supply and demand. Also your example is kind of funny considering how much nsfw art goes for....
The thing that pisses me off about smaller artists being petty and dogpiling on big artists is that they dont notice that as soon as you, a small artist, becomes even a little successful, YOU are going to be the next target. You are setting up a trap for YOURSELF in the future.
@Miitosizz Chainsawroll became a target from simply posting her art and opening commission slots, because people didnt like her prices (that made sense for her market). Being "humble and respectful" will not protect you
So called "Support Real Artist" crowd running to their keyboards the moment they see an artstyle they dislike and feels the need to voice their opinion on why it's "bad" and "harms small artists" (it's the most basic form of supply and demand)
Not to mention youre burning bridges by being assholes to big artists. Being recommended by peers is very helpful in the art market. And also, do you think thats a good look to potential clients? Being a dick online can be costing you commissions and you're not even noticing.
@CodeKaiyoat You keep focusing on that part to argue and insult me and youre surprised i assumed a malicious intent. Pretty words dont hide the condescending tone you seem to present. If it is not your intent, perhaps you should try using tone indicators. Its also not hard :)
@CodeKaiyoat That is indeed how it works. You keep ignoring the fact i say harassing people online is not necessary. You can disagree with the price and not be an asshole to the artist. Or even better, just not say anything if youre not their target audience
@CodeKaiyoat And i clarified that i was not talking ONLY about todays topic. Still. The guy can charge whatever he wants and if people think it is that absurd, no one will buy. Thats it. Small artists dont need to be putting their reputation on blast by being openly assholes to them.
@CodeKaiyoat Last week was artists dogpiling on a industry veteran for charging 4.5k on a commission, today is a artist announcing a CLEARLY gag commission for $10 dollars. It doesnt matter the price because the point is just to hate from a place of hatred for seeing another's "success"
@CodeKaiyoat Also, youre misinterpreting me on purpose. I didnt specify anyone because this is a thing that has happened MULTIPLE times in a lot of different scenarios and the thing in common is always: small artists getting angry that the bigger artist has a higher demand and a higher price.
@OffsetCivical Thing is you can find a price absurd. You can not like it. If the person has their following and they think its worth paying however much they are charging for a service, let them. You are not forced to agree but we dont need to be dogpiling anyone for prices
@OffsetCivical This is a whole lot different than just set "high" prices for something. If there is manipulation of lying involved its wrong because of that, but still he could charge $20k for a patreon tier and it wouldnt be "abusing" anything, since hes not witholding any basic necessity
@OffsetCivical I dont know them. But i still stand by the fact you could charge one million for a single line if you wanted and it would be fine ๐คทโโ๏ธ prices are subjective when its art since its not a basic necessity
