#they'd get someone to actually draw the drawings but leave it unfinished

[insignificantfailure]

Venting about art and content creation:

I love getting ignored in art group chats even if I'm just doing the same things as everyone else.

So, picture a support gc for art. Art post sent before mine: "a bunch of likes", my art post: "a bunch minus quite a few likes", post below me "the same bunch as the one above". Dude, it's a drawing that took me 15 hours, super proud of it. There's literally nothing off with it, so why did I not get the same kind of support? Why me? Why was I the only one with less support? Fucking embarrassing, especially when I support all of their posts. I should turn into an asshole too.

Then, another art group chat. Me: sends progress picture on something we were working on together. The host: privately messages me to delete it. Huh?

They specifically said that it's adviced to send progress pictures, like?? Eventually they messaged me again and apologised, saying they made a mistake, but it was too late and I was too embarrassed and actually deleted it, only for everyone else to actually start sending progress pictures as well right after that. So my mistake was being the first to share anything.

See it's shit like this that makes me hate the art community I'm in sometimes. I didn't experience this at all when I was a content creator for something else in the past. I actually made friends through it, some I talk to even now after three years, but I feel like the artists I'm mutuals with literally only care about themselves. It's either that or jealousy lmao. And yeah I'm delulu but I'm actually going crazy with little inconveniences like these happening every day. Plus, my art is the only thing I'm confident in. I've been doing it my whole life, and worked so hard to get to the level I'm at. Anyone would want recognition.

Take another example. I posted a work in progress and someone told me to "colour that item as well, like in the original". No way, did you actually think I'd leave blank spaces, like pure white in the middle of something that's clearly unfinished? I even mentioned that it was still in progress, but I guess some people don't read before commenting. Whatever, I deleted that post and simply went with the finished version.

I'm not even going to mention the amount of times I was asked to do something for some people, and in return they'd do something for me (S4S), I said thank you and they said you're welcome as if they weren't the ones asking.

I swear to fucking god, the community gives me art block sometimes.

I'm sorry for ranting so much. This has been on my mind for too long.

i'm afraid i have no way to verify this as i heard this while on a tour at a Sony VFX company, but apparently in Spider-Man 1, when Peter is designing his suit, they had to get a hand double because they didn't think Tobey Maguire's hand looked pretty enough

#uhhhh me #spider man #spiderman #marvel #they'd get someone to actually draw the drawings but leave it unfinished #so they could film the hand double drawing the rest of it #so like..a stunt double. but for a hand only
