You merely developed a classic case of Dunning-Kruger.
post work or stfu retard
Not exactly, I still enjoy some of the artists I adored then, since they have more than skill to offer. Interesting ideas are always interesting. I tend to think of them more as friends as I get better despite having no interaction with them.
>>3118637
I have felt that too anon. Nothing better than looking at an artist you once admired as God-like and now finding a million flaws and lack of skill in their work. i have surpassed 3 of my past idols already.
>>3118920
You are under the assumption that they couldn't find a million flaws in your work as well.
>>3118920
post work you dunningkrugtard
>>3118637
I know that feel way too well, every now and then I look back to artists that I used to admire and realize how much I've outgrown them. The "wow" factor might be gone but think about this, these were the guys that sparked your fire and laid the foundation for what it is to come. If you ever make it too who knows, maybe you too will inspire someone and will get surpased.
Pic related, old thing from someone I looked up to back in the day.

How the fuck would I compete with Jamie Jones and Craig Mullins, it's gonna take at least 10 years to get to their level and by time I get there they'll be even better.

>Doing art to look good and not to feel good
There's artists that I fully respect that don't know shit about fundies. They just draw like shit while making good pieces. And I'm here with all these ideas and not executing them because "muh grind" "muh proportions"
