Comment on TUTORIAL - Tips for All Artists by danydiniz
Thank you for taking the time to type this up!
Very inspiring and uplifting for the average artist here on dA.
oo
I'm glad to see things like this being posted. Recently I got into a spat with an artist. Her entire gallery is full of nothing but fanart and even a long running comic about characters she did not own. While there isn't anything wrong with the occasional fanart post, she spoke to me as if she were better than me for the popularity she has gained through her 100+ fanart posts. It made me really confused because all I did was offer a critique on one of her works (politely, with the sandwich method) and she couldn't seem to handle on comment bearing negative connotation in the sea of praises and butt-pats.
ANYWAY point is, I'm glad to see someone like yourself call those types of artists out and propose that it might not be the best way to "get rich" in the art world. A lot of younger artists look up to artists like that and they don't realize it only cripples them to want to aspire to only just draw fanart.
Thank you for your comment and insight, it is very much appreciated! 
No problem!
Just sharing my experiences xd
