not relevant if you have no social competency to show up at a con and do well there with people
why do you give a shit about what others think
what's the problem with pursuing art for your own sake and self-fulfillment
most art careers are a meme anyway

You just described every great artist ever. Social outcast permavirgins that died in poverty. Just know that after youre dead some Chad will discover your art and get rich of it.

dude you have the fucking internet. if your work is good it WILL get a following for you, once you have a following throw up a store page and sell shit through there.
sounds like you're not only socially retarded but intellectually retarded as well.

This. The purpose of art is to express whatever comes to you from the unknown, muse etc.
cant you turn it into an advantage and be some sort of secluded mystery artist instead

Most successful artists go to cons because they like it, to meet with their colleagues etc and to have fun and sell some prints / sketches as a bonus. It's not an important source of income and in this day and age it's not even an important marketing tool.
