>makoenergy It's totally unrelated to photography. It's just that when a hobby becomes job, it usually becomes boring.
Well, long story short, I don't think that those character arts would survive 100 years later regardless of your enjoyings but think that your abstract arts and photography might be able to survive if fortunate. I'm genuinely interested in you guys so I'll bookmark the webpage anyway and if you need some money then if you make a Monero wallet I might donate to you. That's all. See you at the next work.
I genuinely think that you can do photography as a job instead of a hobby. But I also understand that if it becomes a job, it would be boring. Have you thought about it?
It's incredible that you guys only started photography since 2023 and take THOSE photos. You guys really have talents at photography.
It's nice to hear that you have that mentality. Yes, that's what we should have about art, but unfortunately many "professional" artists gave up that mentality.

yes, it’s sad! as artists and art admirers, we should do our best to not foster that mentality in others…

Of course abstract art itself isn't "just background". That's an insult to abstract art. Sorry for my misunderstanding-provoking statements. Also sorry for my misunderstanding that you guys gave up character arts. But I still think that you guys are much better at drawing non-characters and actually make great abstract arts so it feels like a waste of time to draw characters...

i don’t think it’s a waste of time, if it’s something we want to be doing at that moment! if it’s fun for us then it doesn’t matter how “good” it is. ideally, we would like to have fun drawing all kinds of things!

as it stands, we do not like our relationship with character art, and we don’t like the culture surrounding character art online. but instead of giving up, we’d like to be able to nourish it and make art that we love, abstract or not. lots of people find joy and fulfilment in drawing characters, and we would like to have that too.

manyface, all of your art is amazing. I thought my art was a waste of time because I wasn't good at it so I stopped drawing completely. But then it's like "there's only one way to improve anyways" so I'm trying to draw again. It's not a waste of time, actually. It's a form of expression and you improve your skills which each new drawing.

Creating art you like is never a waste of time! Honestly, I think even if you make art and don't like that piece/genre, it still isn't a "waste of time". You are growing and finding what you love. And also, even if nobody else cares about your art, it still isn't a waste of time.

What I thought was that the backgrounds are much better than the characters themselves... so I thought that it was the right decision to give up characters and just drawing backgrounds.

okay? i tried to be really nice in the last post but that’s kind of rude for two reasons. firstly, we haven’t given up on drawing characters. and secondly, our abstract art isn’t just “backgrounds”. but you are entitled to your opinion, i guess.

You guys are good at dealing with textures. And this might be rude, but I think it was the right decision to give up character arts. The abstract arts are way better.

maybe not intentioned but this feels kinda mean? regardless of the fact they no longer do character arts, i think those artworks are great too. i love the colour usage and the personal style and flair they injected into those pieces (which you can see in their abstract works too)

firstly, thanks for the compliment! secondly, we still do character stuff… just very sparingly, because we don’t enjoy it as much. i agree with you though - it’s much better to have passion about things! still, the ones displayed in the other art gallery are recent and ones we think are, like, good. we’d like to keep developing those styles!
