Little Psa, if there's a chance I do artfight this year, If I see ANY: "Dni beginners" in anyone's bio, I will be actively avoiding those people as a whole and I strongly encourage any other participants do too.
"Oh but they just don't want low quality--"
NO. GENUINELY FUCK THOSE PEOPLE. I'm getting really tired of the art community as a whole shitting on new artists. I don't care how good or popular of an artist you are, if you're only viewing of art of any kind is: "IT MUST BE GOOD QUALITY ART TO BE WORTH MY TIME" Then you can kindly go fuck yourself.
Literally none of us started off making "good quality" art, and just because YOU got the hang of it now, doesn't mean a new artist deserves to be shunned or looked down upon. You are actively part of the problem of new artists being discouraged pursuing art, and as someone who's just now feeling confident in my own work, it is absolutely DISGUSTING seeing people trying to exclude them so much. ESPECIALLY FOR A FREE TOURNAMENT WHERE THE WHOLE POINT IS ONE BIG ART TRADE.
You know you can just show your appreciation for it and go on with your life right? Why are we actively trying to put up barriers from others because we're just TOO GOOD to be near the beginners? Kindly check yourself before looking down on people like peasants, because YOU can have great art and still be a piece of shit.
