@Professortorcoolguy1 What's "loli"? Yeah I've seen gigantic breasts that drag to the ground on sites like dA, and people eat it up. But on Facebook when I'll post my sketchbook pages I get "they just HAD to have big butts, huh?" Um, so what? How is that in any way new or shocking, lol? People are....indecisive.

[Professortorcoolguy1]

@UnbornChild Actually, that was one of the first comments I ever received on my profile. lol. It started out with big butts and then moved a bit more north.

I should just draw my biggest character naked and see what happens when I show it to people. She has a ridiculously unrealistic rack that I'm sure surpasses a G-cup...

For that matter...another one of my friends draws loli, and they don't receive nearly as much grief as I do.

What's up with that?

[UnbornChild]

@Professortorcoolguy1 Yeah I remember those kids "Don't look through my sketchbook!!" and I open and find they're pretty damn good. Duuuuude, I always get "You love big asses huh?" when people look through my sketchbooks. It's ALWAYS pointed out. So what? It's not uncommon. My gay artist friend paints penises all the time and people never say anything and love it. Oh, but a straight-male figure drawing with big behinds is a shock. Meh.

[Professortorcoolguy1]

@UnbornChild That's sort of why I never understood people who created exceptional studio quality art in high school and insisted on keeping their sketch books to themselves. I let people see mine regardless of who it is.

It can get annoying when art reaches the wrong crowd, though...not once has anyone stopped telling me that I kinda draw boobs too big. It's not fanservice...it's not author appeal...that's just how I envision the characters.

[UnbornChild]

@Professortorcoolguy1 Well, no, but you need to have an audience, however small or large. Art does not exist in a vacuum. I agree with you, but even still, an audience full of ten thousand dysfunctional internet mooks i still an audience. Most of my work appeals to a smaller based audience anyway, so I'm pretty picky too. For example my film "Paper Thin Reality", is definitely NOT for general audiences.

[Professortorcoolguy1]

@UnbornChild All for teh views, isn't it? I'd prefer to have an audience with one producer interested in my work than ten thousand dysfunctional internet mooks.

I'm one of those people who likes to be choosy about their audience. Sure, people with assloads of views get paid with Youtube contracts, but beyond that, they only just barely get two million views. Movies draw a much larger crowd, as does physical media like comic books and manga. As such, that's who I prefer to see my work.

[UnbornChild]

@Professortorcoolguy1 Definitely. But as I said, at least you're getting views. And one negative talker leads to other viewers, ultimately, maximum exposure. Great art needs that in a world where crap, garbage and ridiculous nonsense gets all the attention.

[Professortorcoolguy1]

@UnbornChild Meh. It's their life. If they want to waste it by attempting to waste other peoples' times, that's their problem. I used to fall victim to that kind of stuff, but after lurking around I've learned how to recognize that kind of stuff. In any case it's still funny. To quote a demotivational poster "Sometimes I feel like Youtube is just Motifake with moving pictures".

[UnbornChild]

@Professortorcoolguy1 Yeah exactly. But some people actually seek out videos *just* to talk smack. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself, I guess ??

[Professortorcoolguy1]

@UnbornChild I never understood that either. Very few times have I ever thumbed down a video. Often I just find it mediocre and leave without saying something. It's very rare to find something truly offensive.

Whenever I hear of people swarming on the internet I always think of Anonymous...
