Still blows my mind that Elmo, Grover and Kermit were all legitimate, relatively common names before the muppets made it impossible to name your child that. There was a president named Grover! Theodore Roosevelt's son was named Kermit!
Now that's truly leaving a mark on culture
depends on the art itself, if its a personal and portfolio filler I don't even bother to post it / expects it to flop and im not bothered
If its fanart/joke art and it flops I do feel like its just not good enough
@MarkBrooksArt both are pros, it takes skill to draw realistically (understanding values, anatomy, textures etc) and it takes another pro to translate realistic people into a certain style (proportions, line control, variety, etc)
No beginner is drawing that realistic portrait ffs.
