artists should draw their fit checks more often

Neonbeat was one of the only peeps at twitch I allowed myself to subscribe to support his works. I admired him too much and aspired my art to be like his one day. To see someone I supported with everything I had at the moment turn in to this it's just pathetic to see. It boils my blood to see such talent go to waste by scamming hundreds of hardworking people. Does this dude know how grateful he should have been being in the place to be able to charge over 800+ usd per art piece? Having the opportunity to work with such large creators that trusted him enough for having his art in their precious projects? Building a good enough reputation on the internet to become such an inspiration to a lot of aspiring artists? And it's not only Neon, I hate to see talented artists charging thousands of dollars to then not deliver ANYTHING to their clients for months and months, sometimes even years??? These artists have the opportunity to make a living off of their drawings and then suddenly they just decide to be irresponsible with it while also some of them using AI to assist their works. (Ms_tsuu's case) I'm just so angry at this situation. So sorry for the rant, I hope every client out there gets their oc's treated like kings by every artist they commission out there. I just can't imagine the frustration paying so much for a piece by an artist you liked so much only for your art piece never being completed or started in the first place.

My career advice to graphic designers: Learn Creative Director thinking IMMEDIATELY. Basic graphic design is gonna get eaten alive by AI. It’s the graphical people who can think conceptually + in campaigns who won’t just stay employed, but become more important than ever.

Nobody tells young creatives that the beginning is supposed to be messy. You’re supposed to not know what you’re doing yet. You’re supposed to make bad work, take wrong turns, and feel like everyone else has it figured out except you. That’s not failure. That’s the process. Stay in it.
