>Post your work
>He posts
>Fuck, It's good

W-What a boring piece of shit/ Obviously traced/ Y-you're not gonna make it.

>>2707746
you're dumb.

>>2707734
Not really. Even if it's good, you've proved yourself petty and showoffish so they win the debate anyway.

Generally if someone pulls that line, it's just shorthand for "walk away, I have no interest in continuing this conversation". Unless you sound like a jealous bitch in which case they're calling you out pretty effectively.

It's just that as a trump card it's way overused. Anonymity was a mistake.

>Showing off
its an objectvie way to test if your advice is good.

If you know so much shit about art, you should be able to apply it, else your argument is worthless.

What's the reference of this meme? I saw it many times here.

>anon:"post work"
>other anon posts merc_wip.jpg
>from then on it is the go to answer for "post work"

As far as I know that's all there is to it.
Probably has something to do with it being a sort of epitome of what people who want to be concept artists paint.

except no one here is giving any super specific and obscure advice that needs verification of one's own skill. 99% of the time, it's the most basic shit such as "your fundamentals are lacking, study more Loomis!" that triggers a "post your work" response. The person saying it doesn't want to verify if your advice is legit, they feel like you personally insulted them with your advice and they want you to post your own work, so they can insult yours in return.

Cant insult my work if I'm better than them and know what the shit im talking about.

>>2707815
Unless your work is absolute god tier, of course they can. Just look at how much shit people like Tehmeh or Teal got for giving highly competent advice while backing it up with their work. People got even angrier and even more vindictive BECAUSE those 2 knew what they were talking about.

>>2707762
Only time I've gotten a post your work is when I'd spilled my guts out on /ic/ and some smug asshole thinks that means I just whine 24/7 and never draw, that bitch didn't come out again though. A post your work can mean a lot of things.

It's not petty to want to shut up some salty, sparkless NEETfag- sometimes you gotta show what you do. It also helps with humbling arrogant fucks who insult everyone in a thread then get laughed out because their work is unsurprisingly mediocre.
