Fuck that dude. You have been cucked by the fake ass academic world.

Here is the real illumination.

>yfw you realize "art" in itself is a meaningless abstract term that has no real value other than to sell things to people. "art" is just a description applied to the more general concept of entertainment. Entertainment is something many animals need and seek in everyday life when they aren't looking for food and shelter. You now realize "art" only exists to create an artificial environment for the human mind on a piece of entertainment. It is a form of entertainment upon the standard piece of entertainment itself. Why is this realization important? Because it shows just how pretentious we are as a species, and it's time to open your mind and let go. It's all subjective, and the only thing you can truly do that comes from within is to know what you like and be fine with it. Create what you know, create what you love, create what you think will entertain yourself, and don't give a fuck about this "Art" game. It's all a game, it's for museums and colleges and merchandisers.

>>9466066
>>yfw you realize the most beautiful art is only borne from the greatest of struggles and you've never faced real hardship in your entire life

most "great" which is to say critically acclaimed and economically successful art is done by academic pricks from elite schools, don't let those douchebags trick you into think they ever struggled lol

Nearly everyone in modern society has struggled infinitely more than anyone pre-1900s

>>9466066
I always doubt this because I've often received praised for my creative efforts (though mostly by people with fairly average standards), but then I look back and attempt to approach my own life from a life of less suffering and certainly notice a few uncommon flash points.

Namely being falsely accused of strangling a girl in 3rd grade and suffering the consequences, but also there was that time my DnD group I was running faced a group schism that lead to a suicide attempt by one of the former members. There's also some general divorced parent's based anxiety but that's far from uncommon.

>>9466066
Attempt suicide, fail. Never tell anyone. Rinse and repeat.

Emotionally yes, physically not so much. Air conditioning alone helps the modern man transcend even the kings of old regarding comfort. The only downside is that you can't later fuck the child that fans you off with an air conditioner.

>>9466066
Older dude here... Beautiful art is sometimes borne from struggles, but usually from moderate ones. What "the greatest of struggles" tend to do, is they tend to maim and kill people. Hardship is a meme. If you experience more of it, you will realize that there's nothing positive about it. Try to learn from others' mistakes, rather than insisting on learning by repeating them.

I never asked for sympathy and I don't think I'm special for having been addicted to one of the most prominent drugs in America right now, like every other middle class pussy white kid with self-diagnosed mental issues and a self-destructive personality. Not everyone needs acceptance as bad as you do. This thread is about struggle, and idiots who have never been through anything worse than, say, their parents fighting in front of them or their computer crashing halfway through a raid are telling others to go "find struggle", which is absolutely ridiculous, so I thought I'd share, you know, a real experience. My life is comfy as fuck now, sympathy is the last thing I need. You call it a sob story, but you're either projecting or the most dense motherfucker on the planet, because there's nothing sad about having gone through something and pulling yourself out. In fact, most of the time, being a junkie was fun. It's the stopping that's hell. I regret very little, other than ruining my relationship with many friends and family members. The whole point was that some of that shit is embarrassing, and if I want to write about it I'll have to share it with others, which isn't necessarily something I'm prepared to do.

>>9467663
Yeah, it's kinda cruel to use this guy as an example, but if you idolize suffering without having suffered much in your life yourself you're liable to become a dumbass and even more of an annoyingly pretentious pampered person. There are a lot of sheltered intellectuals who seem to take a joy in calling other people sheltered, saying how suffering is necessary for self-actualization, etc., and they never seemed to suffer a day in their life besides running out of soda or something.

Just be humble and glad you're not suffering miserably, hell, even have guilt/shame that your lifestyle is based on the suffering and starvation of millions of innocent African children and poverty in your own coutnry that's institutionalized so other people can live wealthier lives, people who literally don't have food, etc., but don't be so vain about it that you decide to seek suffering, because the people who suffer don't idealize suffering and instead wish they could have your life.

Most of my life experiences would not add to my creative output. My characters are unique, view their world from their individualized perspectives, and react to situations based on their own personalities and the pasts that shaped them. In my writing,I set up situations and imagine what these personalities would say and behave in facing them.

In this example strip,the two characters are old teammates of a guerilla warfare troop that toured the lands where anthromorphs were enslaved as minstrels and carrying out terrorism to free their people. Ten years after the civil war achieved its goal,and lingering resentments still have hold on some people of both sides of the conflict. That being said,their conversation might make sense to the reader,but later strips will be opportunities for revealing more history. And so the Canon is forged.

We may all have variations of a common understanding of what "beauty" is, but that doesn't mean what "beauty" is always applies to the same things in everyones lives. Someone who is really fucked up could think fucking a cow with a plunger is beautiful, in the same sense of beauty someone else would see in a flower.

Despite this, I am not talking of beauty I am talking of art as a word. When you generalize everybody's opinion on what art actually is, it seems to boil down to a synonym for "stuff someone or something made". Except to call something ~Art~ is to put that thing on a pedestal. If we can't all agree on what art actually defines that it's definition starts to become pointless. Why then do we not analyze the fundamental reasons for even using this word in the first place? The way I see things, I view everything people do that isn't involved pure survival as a form of entertaining the brain. Thinking, loving, learning, creating, experiencing, etc, these all take place in the brain, the brain needs activities to keep functioning.

Defining if something is art or not is just another form of these games humans like to play. And when something is agreed as "art" then they can play all sorts of new games discussing it and arguing about it and so on. The "artform". This game turns into an industry of commodities, it's about money, people pay money for stuff to entertain themselves and that stuff has been approved of as "art" then this tickles the extra fancies of some people and makes even more money.

I think if you are a creator and you honestly look at what you do as ultimately just another form of entertainment, no matter how high-brow or low-brow it is, then you become much more free. Who cares if it's fucking art or not? If someone thinks it's art, that's fine for them, if it's not true art, then fuck em, someone else out there might enjoy it.

>>9472245
Sure, to see some beauty in math, for example, you gotta do some math first. Not every "sense" is like the musical one.

But the "beauty in fucking a cow" example is useless, because to produce art that's appreciated as beautiful, you don't need to please every deviant individual.
Now let me read the rest of your post.

> If we can't all agree on what art actually defines that it's definition starts to become pointless.
There seem to be some typos, but if you're trying to say that we need not discuss things that aren't properly defined, then you're wrong.
You can't pin down "Liberty" either.

And I don't think many animals need entertainment, like you say in the first post.
Young cats and dogs are playful to give them a time where their experience and learn things, but old animals don't waste energy - unless they are trained by their owners to display that behavior, it being rewarded (because the owner wants to be entertained by his animal)

People who lack meaning.

Note that I'm not at all saying that there isn't a "this is art"-game, the fine bourgeois endeavour.

And if you want to say "art" is just a level of "entertainment", then so be it - but that doesn't mean we should disregard the concept. It's like Formula 1 in racing general then, no?

You're current ideology is to apply dry rationality to everything, but you'll grow out of this (or become extremely frustrated at one point).

Except to apply this ideology is to free yourself from the socio-environmental restrictions that limit the way your brain can function creativity, "dry rationality" as you call it is not as dry as you might think, it's the realization of the grander perspectives we have subconciously filtered out of our lives because of our warped way of perceiving things. Well I shouldn't say completely "warped" I just lack a better term because I am fucking drowzy, but I think it's true to say human beings fall into many traps of being unable to become self-aware of the things they are doing and why they think certain ways. Do not take me as a total cynic or a fatalist because my opinions are oriented towards positive thinking. There is nothing inherently wrong with the shit we do, but what I am telling OP here is he needs to start thinking from a taller perspective, this seems to be a symptom of someone who has become the victim of his social environment and his perceived importance of "good art". My ultimate answer is struggle might make "good art" but why just focus your life struggle and not your entire experience as a human being instead? The experience of living in the universe as a human being is SO much more than just struggle and hardship, sure it's a big part of it but you aren't being honest with yourself if you think the most beautiful things born in life are born from struggle. Struggle is a state of mind.

I am probably just rambling, im sore as shit and tired and I quit my job and I tell you "struggle" hasn't helped my thoughts at all, it's probably been worse for me than anything I can think of except drugs and alchohol.

If she decides tp be a retard and don't chañlenge her own point of view, even though you do the same, take that as an opportunity to gain patience for a while, and if she doesn't change, dump her, unless, of course, she has other very worthy qualities. Honestly, nothing good comes from being with people like that.

Not yet to my knowledge, I'd love to read the part about the animal being surprisingly skilled.

Why isn't he considered good in your book? His stories might not have much but the way he strings together words is very satisfying to read. I'll assume you're just trying to go against the grain

Your welcome OP

>>9466066
Tfw you experience hardship yet don't know how to make it art so you keep that shit yourself and try to make your life better

>>9466066
Existence is hardship enough. My inner struggles far outweigh those of petty material.

I was abandoned by my parents as a kid and homeless for my teens and early twenties and i've eaten more dumpster pizza than I care to admit and I've done more drugs than any of you. I've met more sociopaths, narcissists, addicts, pimps, rapists, and all kinds of other parasites than I wish I ever had, and I have no friends anymore because I finally got away from all that in my mid-twenties and don't know how to socialize with people without just exuding cynicism and destroying their optimism about the world in which we live.

While i've read more than anyone else I know from a broader range of subjects, I've never created shit. Sorry, OP, but i'm pretty sure the world isn't so poetic as you picture it. Creating memorable works just means taking the right shit in the right place and the right person stepping in it. Take justin beiber for example.

It's just people talking about fanfiction and ERP.

How can I create conflict within and around myself without being consumed by resentment and cowardice? It is safer to do nothing, and so I don't

The greatest struggles are spiritual and moral, not material.

Wrong.
The problem is that the word 'art' is thrown around far too easily in this postpostpostpostmodern age where everything and anything is 'art'
What is necessary is a substantiated definition of what art actually is, but of course I doubt there will be a unanimously agreed upon definition (short of some kind of all-powerful entity enforcing it), partly because people will inevitably get insulted and insecure when something they like is suddenly not considered to be art, as under such an inevitably rigourous definition, very little would actually qualify as art (which is for the better, imo
So the next best thing is to have a personal definition of what art is that you are not afraid to adhere by, even if it hurts your self-worth
Not everyone is capable of that, of course, and people will adapt definitions that are convenient to themselves. Though with this again comes a lack of universality and brings us back to everything being considered 'art'
There's no winning, really
Fuck

>>9477024
Forgot to add, under such a definition of art for instance, entertainment would never be considered art. neither would propaganda
just an example, but these are things that would be fundamentally separated from art

you're lucky that you're 14, because there's plenty of time for you to improve.

you're trying to cram way too much information into each panel (both visually and verbally) and you seem to have no idea how to make the information flow so a reader can follow it. in short, no matter how in-depth your character development is, it is squandered in the abysmally cramped telling. It's like listening to someone with ADD and a stutter trying to tell a joke. No matter how well he understands humor, it doesn't matter if he can't tell the joke.

show, don't tell. make some panels with little-
to-no dialog, some contrast, and a strong line rather than this indistinguishable, sketchy, dark wordfest. some sweeping splash panels. real estate--both paper and digital--is cheap as fuck. spread it out.

Then again, I expect nothing but fail from a furfag, anyhow.
