@FizzyPoppy101 i mean he included (like most people) in his post as if he was speaking for most people but the bobs got your little ding dong stiff and stole the blood going to your brain
@DiamondsChest you sure do love giving characters that dont have them huge honking breasts for your youtube videos though
do (most people) want to see that or nah?
@Joeywcoleygame@Wario64 Indie developers were mad at Silksong's absurdly low price briefly because they were worried people would use it's price to judge the value of other games
It seemed silly at the time, like no one would be that stupid
But there's always someone that stupid
@jollyturnip No but the solution isn't for everyone to stop littering or for everyone to vote. Those are just things that people should do individually. If people start using "everyone will not just" as a way to avoid personal responsibility we're totally cooked
@florida_milves Those are the kinds of insecurities that lead to burn out and frustration. The artists who go the farthest are missing these, mysteriously (it is not mysterious, it's part of the reason)
@BirdtheBear Perhaps if I had something to say about using references or practicing fundamentals in particular I would have responded to the original tweet
but instead
here I am
responding to this tweet instead
about a theoretical friend "not improving" in 10 years because of a mindset
@BirdtheBear You should reread the tweet I'm responding to that is not what it says
Actually here it fits inside of my tweet:
"had a friend who thought like this and their art hasn't improved in 10 years"
that is what I am responding to. That is how responding works. pancake waffles bird.
@purnya2 Most artists who are not the OP will not think of their friends this way. I would venture that the OP wouldn't either, if they didn't have some kind of bone to pick. But it's a valid fear that I've long left behind me. I hate to see other artists picking it up.
@purnya2@anarchyatlas It's okay, you don't have to think, I will spoonfeed you. This creates the idea that your friends are actively judging your art progress, and that if you're not improving at a rate they deem acceptable, they will view you negatively.
Thus the OP, judging their previous friend.
@anarchyatlas Wonderful! Then your friend's art not improving in 10 years isn't of any note or relevance. I also highly doubt that's real, and it's likely this person has done more than you give them credit for.
I have yet to see an artist commit to art for so long without learning something.
@anarchyatlas It won't work that way in reality, people don't lift themselves up by their bootstraps that way. Showing someone how fun gestures can be, or getting them to learn to draw something they care about will always beat out telling them they're on a neverending improvement treadmill
