Re: Dissapoinment

This kind of reminds me of one of those infographics currently floating around Tumblr that tries to explain how your own skill at art and your critical eye/appreciation for it increase and plateau at opposing times.

I wonder if you're seeing this person's art now via you yourself being at a more advanced level with the craft than you were years ago?

I'm a writer not an artist, but I've found that fics I used to admire greatly ten years ago are much less impressive and intimidating for me now, because during those ten years I've worked hard to increase my own skill level which, as well as the actual writing part, involves analyzing and critiquing stories to see how they work. So now I reread those fics and while they're still entertaining, they're not the "Omg I'm never going to write something this perfect!" anymore because I've learnt enough to see they're not, and never were, perfect.

Maybe she's stayed stagnant, or maybe as you say she's catering to a specific market. But maybe it's also that your perception of her art has changed, which could also be a sign of how you've improved as an artist yourself!

She does improve a lot though. Like I said, her skill is very great. I don't think I can ever be as good as her technically, but you are right that my taste had evolved since then. Now that I look back her art really hasn't changed much idea wise, mostly character portraits and that's not a style I like anymore, not to mention I've learnt a lot about gender since then. Techniques wise she's a thousand time better than me.
