I don't cry anymore, because my emotions dulled. I'm just indifferent to it at this point. But at least we made a few people very rich haha.

No one posts their work due to the high amount of /pol/ frog niggers from shit hole countries.

Pussy.

All of that only matters if you want to work at corporations run by MBAs where you're classed as a "freelancer" and thus have the lovely combination of shit total hours per month but horrible hours per day to be just above poverty wages with no benefits in some of the most expensive cities on the planet.

what we actually have is sharty crabs who never even tried, failed and now shit up the board to make sure nobody else tries either

I got 4 good hours in me per day to draw. Any longer and I lose efficiency and the next day I'll have negative dopamine so I can't do ANYTHING.

> 6 hours a day
are you a NEET at 32 somehow

>AI jeet demoralization thread #9651
Why THE FUCK should I care what indians do on their shitty PCs?? I draw because it's FUN and seeing improvement gives me dopamine rush that you could never even imagine. Here's my WIP beg doodles. Now post yours.

You're already thinking of it as a job, not only that, you're thinking about working FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
Was never gonna make it bro.

you can progress really a lot quicker than you realize. the stuff I was making a couple years ago was dogshit.

those rich kids are all drawing faux disney to create western pig feed. they aren’t even in the same lane as me. if they were, they’d also have to learn japanese and compete with my grandiose delusions as a foreigner.

what do you call these type of lines that are close to the outline but are off enough to give the shape texture? I just call them soul lines but there has to be a fundie term for it and a way to learn how to do it on purpose, right?

Well, it depends on what kind of work you were hoping to get into. Let's say you were hoping to get into the art department of a videogame company, that isn't going to be outsourced, as they'll need people in-house to do that; nor will it be replaced by AI, as AI often can't really be precise - though it will likely be used as a tool.
This could be said about most art jobs.

You may say;
>But what about freelancing!?
Well, freelancing was always against easy templates, stock sites, thirdies, and everything else out there to undercut you.
If all you ever offered was pictures, then you were never a service companies would have wanted to hire anyway.

You're just doom posting.

At least art zoomers can maybe take solace in the fact that they were simply born too late and never has a chance to begin with. You on other hand are old enough that you had the potential to make it a decade ago and enjoy the last years before art collapsed, but you wasted it. Honestly, you should feel ashamed.
