Is there a name for artists simultaneously thinking themselves to be better/more deserving of success than other artists, but somehow also have really low self-esteem about their art?
Those who don't make it unless they meet a cute anime girl that helps them regain confidence about their art.
Good taste.

Or in addition, the thought that they deserve more success than others, but never seem to do anything to actually find it? (maybe held back by said low self-esteem?)

That's being lazy

I believe they're called d/ic/ks.
Simultaneous superiority and inferiority complex?

I don't think that fits. I'm asking about a friend of mine who is actually decent at art and has a good work ethic, but I don't get how she can actually have such stuck-up viewpoints about her work, while simultaneously feeling worthless

It's called cognitive dissonance. It kills us inside every single day. We try to tell ourselves that we're the best to counteract the negativity that our work is completely shit as well.

Yea, it's called jealously.
