Do women careers only excel if they are attractive and smart?
I am attractive but I do not want to rely on my looks to get ahead but I am at a road block. I am a freelance artist and I see other artists with less quality of work but posting selfies on their social media surpassing me career wise. I did not want people to know what I look like but I feel now that this is the only way. Every current female artist who is making a living off art I have seen relied on their looks as well as their art.
I am not sure if I should dive into the deep end its conflicting with my morals. I use to be a full time model had playboy photographers contacting me but I decided I did not want to rely on my looks to get ahead in life. I am not sure what I should do.

Being attractive definitely helps, but it's not the only way.
Is there anything else those people are doing that is helping them get ahead? Are they better at marketing themselves? Do they attract more fans with fanart? Do they have more of a presence on social media, and invite in more people by being active on social media?
Freelancing is as much business as it is art. You have to be able to market, advertise, promote your work reliably, make yourself present and accessible, build a platform, and basically do all of the business legwork to make yourself stand out. As good as your art may be, it won't get popular or noticed if nobody sees it.
