Sure I could. You don't have to be a great artist if you're drawing people's favorite characters or ships. I've seen artists in artists alleys whose art is mediocre at best selling tons of stuff because they knew which characters people would want to buy.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, often mediocre art gets a lot of money, but it's still not actually easy for any random person to sit down, start shitting out chibis, and making bank on it immediately.

AYRT is being such a belligerent jerk that I kind of feel like they might just be trolling. But either way, yup, what you're saying is extremely true.

[(Anonymous)]

But there are. There's one artist in my very popular fandom whose art is terrible. Wonkly drawn and just bad. But because they draw this characters have kids comic everyday people have gone mad over it. If you draw what the kids want which is apparently really badly written and drawn mpreg you will get all the notes and money. Their fanzine sold out in days.

Or maybe art quality is in the eye of the beholder sometimes, and you’re being disingenuous about this. The anon above you is right.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, it's true. You don't have to be a good artist to get attention if you're drawing the stuff the fans eat up.

I was at a con a few months back and there was one artist who was selling little acrylic charms of characters that were designed in a way so you could get two and hook them together and make it look like your favorite ship was kissing. The art was about as low-effort and low-talent as you get, they literally just used exactly the same head model for every single character and then drew on the eyes, hair, etc.

And they had people swarming around their table all because people wanted to get keychains of their pet ship kissing.

It’s not true across the board.

And art quality is subjective.

[(Anonymous)]

OK, go make some really badly drawn and written mpreg, and get a lot of money and attention for it right away, and I'll send you a hundred bucks

And then if you don't get a lot of attention and money right away, you have to send me a hundred bucks

And then we'll know who's right, because they'll have a hundred bucks, which is the universal symbol for being right about things

Oh but I have already. Drawn bad things that is. I'm a BNF artist and my worst art that I can't be bothered to work on and knock out in minutes often gets more likes than my good works. Why? Because I hit the tropes people love that my bigger paintings don't cover. Mpreg, Omega art, size differences, gender swaps those are things people love and gets me lots of attention.

You’re not exactly the best source on what’s good and bad in art, even your own.
