Okay, I agreed with you upthread, but I didn't notice that line about artists. Sorry but we get it. A lot. Along with other stuff. Most of the time nowadays thanks to instagram and tumblr culture all we get is some likes if we're lucky and some reblogs with no comment. THEN someone reposts it and we're supposed to be flattered. We're also supposed to be flattered when someone else pretends to have drawn it. THEN we get critique from fanfic writers who are all "But you can draw for money! We can't do that!". THEN you get those people who constantly beg for freebies.

And then if you mention you would like more comments and some interaction with fandom you'll get "Omg, you should draw for yourself." "No one owes you anything." "Aw, you artists have it so baaad~ you get X notes and I get only Y~~".

This this! not to mention, I've noticed a severe discrepancy in regards to say, popular writers and "popular" art works. Popular writer gets a lot of followers if their story was good and so their next story gets a large amount of focus and attention solely because it was made by them.

Artist? We don't get that. There are a very rare few cases that do, but a majority of that, that I've noticed has been art blogs who don't draw for quality, they draw ask replies, simple little comics that go along with fanon and whatnot. I've seen multiple amazing artists who have like 3k notes on one fandom favorite, and all the rest of their work has like 5. It gets really discouraging tbh.

What's weird to me on tumblr is that it so often feels like people don't think anyone should comment - not the artists themselves, so much as the greater population of consumers who don't want any of that awful text cluttering up the stream of photos on their blog.

I don't get it. :|

But I'm sorry to see artists getting the shit end of the stick, especially when someone copies their style and ideas and then "dude chill the fuck out, take it for the compliment it is." Which is always shaky ground when it comes to developing styles, but there's usually a pretty clear line drawn between something practically looking ripped off and something looking ""inspired"".
