Permission to speak to "Art Gods/Goddesses"?
16 years ago
Is it really so taboo to speak to extremely talented artist?
Like to drop a line on their user page and say "Hi! Whats up?" or
"I see you play {Insert online video game,MMORPG,First Person Shooter,Fighting game,ect. Name here}. Would you like to play together sometimes?"
Or even the all mighty,nail-biting,Anxiety increasing question!
"Hey. I see your an amazing artist and well...Since your {Insert specific element of art or art all together} inspires me so much to become a better artist like yourself! {Insert Artist user name here}. Do you think you could find the time to maybe...I don't know...sit down and give me some pointers?"
And yeah I know you can't just spoon feed some kid who draws stick people or someone who DOESN'T draw anthros(spl?),Furries,ect.
Or help everyone and their fucking grandma that asks. "HELP MEH! D:!!!"
I'm just saying If you can act mature while also acting like yourself. Introduce yourself with intelligent means and use proper manners. Not "Like OMFG I'M YOUR BIGEST FANSA! LOLOLOL"
Wouldn't that be enough to be able to; or shall we say be "worthy" enough to be able to approach said artist of epic skills without being flamed to a point of no return despite the fact that maybe your not a really good artist or "Hey this kid doesn't know how to use Photoshop and blah blah blah" or,"This kid didn't go to any art college classes,S/He learned how to draw from a book called "How to draw Manga" and didn't even get far in that book. Hahaaaa"
Does that make me too less of an "artist" to speak to awesome artists well known all around?
Please tell me cause...I just don't know anymore. o .O

Bah. I feel for you man. If you ask me most of these artists are a little overrated via their own fans. Though I'd probably say they just end up generalizing everyone due to the rabid fans suffocating them. If you really want some pointers you'd probably do a lot better with the not-so popular artists that have some skill, but actually draw something aside from furries and fetish art. You're no less of an artist to me than those big guys who get all the attention. Good luck to ya.
