I’m an older millennial who has decided to return to web comic creation with some free time and your video was a handy guide to help an out of touch person get a little bit of a grip on what’s going on besides uploading to deviant art like I did back in the day.

Artists have never worried about Ai. Craftsmen care about Ai because it interrupts their station on a hierarchy - and then dismantles the hierarchy entirely. Art and artists don’t exist on any hierarchy, so Ai isn’t relevant to anything they do.

get a live like an actual one

I think AI generation itself has problems. I feel like it's a form of consumption that tricks your brain into feeling productive and creative and I think that in and of itself is a problem. I don't think I would care quite as much without the financial threat but frankly... I think people who post AI "renders" and call them their "work" or their "art" would still annoy me. AI is not a tool to create your vision... It's a tool to rehash other people's visions in the vague shape of the keywords you put in. I just don't buy that the added productivity would have any real appeal to actual creatives if there was no capitalism. AI generation would still be FUN just like consuming any content is but it's not creative and without financial incentive I'd like to think humans would rely on eachother more for creative projects. Without capitalism why would a visual artist turn to AI for music or a musician for visual art? We would just connect with other artist's and collaborate without any concern about money... I just don't think AI would even NEED to exist outside of a capitalist system that reduces art to a commodity making "productivity" more valuable than self expression.

Man, you are just spitting facts here. AI can definitely be a good tool for artists, but big cooperations taking AI art, not playing any of the artists the AO stoled from, and making money off it while leaving the artists suffering IS the problem. AI would be fine if it wasn’t STEALLING money and hard work for REAL ARTISTS.

the whole point is to replace real workers, artists only choice will be to be independent but with the direction we're going in, i wouldnt be surprised if they'll start looking for ways to prevent individuals from creating or publishing art (most likely with a big fee). they're monopolizing everything

It’s hilarious to me that artists don’t consider themselves capitalist. A guy sold a banana taped to a wall for millions. Virtually every artist wants the attention of their art and they want to be compensated for it. Love it or not art is capitalism in its most pure form: I create something, I trade it and its value is completely based on supply and demand.

Great video! Love the art style, and will definitely check out Radka!!

Didn't even start the video yet, but the title is exactly what I'm always trying to say. AI is a tool, a tool that could be good for artists, but the way it's being used isn't. Not because AI is inherently evil, but because companies don't care about artists.

Very nice video! I also make comics, I really like designing characters so I guess that is where it blooms. I think my biggest fear was starting, I had some perfectionism issues, like really bad ones, it held me back from years. Instead of just, starting. But I started this year. But as a kid, I had picture books and comics from the longest I remember. So when I was first starting to read. I really wanted to do animations instead, but cause ''perfectionism'' that would be chaos. So I picked comics, and tried out if that could be something I could do. I started out with small strips of a set of OCs, only for social media. Since they were social media based, I did not have a title, they are under my user name ''MadameJenJennette'' and the main character is an elf girl called Eve BlueBell. The genre is fantasy and slice of life. I have kind of retired from the BlueBell characters, not permanently, gonna use them again for small strips when I get an idea. But these characters helped me make my big 2 project story based comics, one original, WeatherChaotic. And a Super Mario fan comic, called Komodeko's Under Threat. Both can be read on Webtoon👍

Please tell me you’re not Austrian

Love your art ❤

Nice👍✨

THIS IS SO UNBELIEVABLY UNDERRATED

I know someone who got rejected by art school. There is always another path, such as going to Germany to start a career in politics.

What school?

i can see why you got rejected

Some of the best artists on the planet didn't go to Art school. It just meant they went a different route to getting where they wanted to be, but still produced the most beautiful and amazing quality art, which is why they are still talked about years after they died, and their drawings and paintings are sought out by collectors and galleries till this day. Kind of like going for a day out and there is a delay on the motorway, so you go on the alternate minor roads that people used before the motorway was built. You still get to your destination and have a great day, but you didn't get there quite as fast. The bonus was that the scenery was more beautiful, the ride was less bumpy and all around journey was more enjoyable and less stressful because there was less people to compete against. Don't think about what you CAN'T DO, but instead focus on what you CAN DO ! Good luck on your alternate plans, I am sure you will make it which ever way you go.

HOW DID YOU GET REJECTED??

LOVE the diorama inst in the background

Nagyon jó, hogy magyar dolgokat is látni🫶

The "ugly" sketches, unfinished drawings, illustrations and other stuff is what makes a sketchbook aesthetic in my opinion. It just looks human. I love it<3

anagram for "Mahdi of Arakis" nice one, honestly I'm not interested in drawing so Peace Next

I think it’s so stupid to reject people because it’s a school, if you knew everything you wouldn’t go to school right?

Oh my god yves diorama instrumental in the background UR SLAY GIRL

i was watching half of video and idk about the second part but you didn't say why youve got rejected, which is title of video, and i wanted to understand which mistakes was made. if im wrong and the author said something about it pls comment time code 😔🙏🏻/nm

I bet u rn that this video will blow up more with views and I hope this gives opportunities for this artist!!!!

Is that armeggadon in the background?

Your art is perfect for comics or kids books❤️ so cute and your backgrounds are fantastic

Wow! You’re art is amazing! I can’t imagine what you must have been up against. Hands are particularly hard and you certainly nailed it

What app is it

i love your art style so much

This is amazing!!!❤

They missed out, ur really good. Make them regret it because from what you showed I’m sure you can! Don’t get discouraged everything in this portfolio was amazing and unique ❤

I love the style of your art, it is really unique, but also it makes me feel really happy. I went to school for fine arts, and while it was fun and I would say I improved as an artist there, mostly I improved because I was practicing so much. So I think I could have learned most of it on my own. It's strange, my school would have LOVED you and your art, I have friends who have similar styles who went to school with me (only they were in the illustration department.) and now are professional freelance illustrators, I think you could make it right now too without art school. I do think art school is a lot of money, and maybe not worth it. I think marketing yourself and joining an art collective in your home city (if there is one?) is probably a better move, and that is 100% what I would have done if I could go back. Anyways, your art is great, but I am sorry you had the disappointment of being turned down from he school you wanted.

Amargeddon

It’s nice to see a rejected portfolio for once. My portfolio also got rejected when I applied for art school. Good luck with your application next time! Also I love you’re backgrounds.

i might be wrong, but i couldn't help but notice the beats of the background instrumental songs of artms, yves, newjeans etc.. GOODD TASTE

Which art school was it?

Your voice is so pretty, and your art is just lovely!

Don’t give up, try again! Most applicants get rejected more than once.

It’s ok that you didn’t get excepted … just please don’t invade all of Europe because of it

The animation reel is really fun. The vibe is like a cutesy acid trip and I love that

You have cute ideas. Although a bit stereotypical. I can see why you didn't get accepted. You are a bit lacking in the basic skills like value, proportion, and concept. Your drawings are very flat, out of proportion and cluttered without a proper focus and concept. I'm sure with a bit more practice you'll get accepted next time though!🙂

The animation reel omg, the cat fluffing up, it’s all so good 🎉🎉🎉

Does ur school have a portfolio day? My state hosts one with schools all over the country who will review your portfolio and be honest about what it lacks for the specific school and what you may consider adding and extracting. So without that kind of process, we’ll never really know why they rejected your great work. Maybe they thought u were better off, maybe they wanted to see more process, more experiments and failures, but we really will never know!

In many cases, art schools aren't worth the hype aside from the facilities you have access to. The thing there is you don't usually have access to them unless you're actively in one of the classes that call for them. The best thing I've found (ex-art student in a lot of debt) is to go with a community college to start or go to a local or at least in-state public university. You can get a degree in whatever you want whether that's art or something else. While doing that, the art classes do help to get some fundamentals if needed and teach techniques you may not have otherwise had access to but the biggest benefit of them is that they keep you producing. The more you make, the more you develop your skills and style. You seem to already be making a lot, which is great! Art classes in school to keep you making and grant you access to facilities for printmaking/animation/ceramics/whatever and take you out of your comfort zone from time to time are all that the schools would offer above what you're doing for yourself. Most art schools don't have curriculum geared towards professional development as opposed to introductions to techniques and general output. The things you'll find at local/public schools will typically be the same - just look at the facilities they offer! Many schools that aren't "known" for their art program will have facilities that maybe aren't on par with art schools but will serve you just as well. The biggest help for me has been continuing education classes at art schools. They're waaay cheaper (most of the time) than what you'll find in a degree program AND generally way better for you. They're usually taught by industry professionals and are often geared toward people who are seeking to gain income off of these things. In-person can give you access to the schools' facilities and online still gives you access to the instructors, assignments/resources, and feedback. I 10/10 recommend SVA out of NYC. I take classes with them every session and have for the past 3 years or so. They're live online so it's really a regular class setting over zoom usually with small class sizes. They're not graded and there's no pressure - everyone's there to have fun, make fun things, and improve. Right now I'm in a class called "building fictional worlds" that has people of all skill levels who are working in various mediums (comics, novels, film scripts, illustrated books). I've also taken riso printing classes that would be right up your alley in terms of some of your work and they teach you how to prep files to send them away for printing so all you have to do is make the art, pay to get it printed, and watch it arrive in the mail. There are class offerings for fundamental skills like perspective, figure drawing, painting in watercolor/oil/acrylic, you name it. The best ones I've found for online classes have been SVA, MICA, Otis, California College of the Arts, SAIC, and there are a lot of local craft places that offer online and in-person classes. Our local one is the Baltimore Jewelry Center but there are a ton of them out there globally, especially in cities. Almost always under $1k for a class that run the duration of a semester at these ones. To compare, MICA's full-time enrolled students pay $2,280 for the same classes, often taught by the same instructors who use the same course material. They're offering a 10-week wheel throwing class in their ceramics studio taught by a ceramics instructor for $750 this semester. Good luck!!!

omg i was so shocked when i heard yves’s diorama playingg! (your art is so beautiful as well, idk how u got rejected)

I got rejected 2 times but got accepted the 3rd year I applied. If you think art school is for you don't give up! ❤ If you want any advice I'm seeing a lot of stuff in your portfolio that I was told not to include. The skulls in particular. They aren't bad drawings but EVERYONE will be putting skulls in their portfolio and the people looking at them are sick of seeing the same things. You should also show your process, not just finished pieces. Remember to annotate your artwork. Not paragraphs and paragraphs, but explain the art a little. Just one or two sentences. Hope you get accepted next year!

I have some thoughts about why this might have been rejected. It’s all done in a very consistent style. While it’s good for a working artist to have a consistent style, for a student they want to see you experimenting and flexible. Moreover, they want to see that you are both capable of working in other styles and willing to do so. So, for example, instead of just having a completed character page full of sea creature characters, it would be better to have a bunch of realistic sketches of squid, followed by some exploration of different ways to stylize a squid character, followed by a page of a completed squid character doing things. I think your highly detailed backgrounds are the most impressive part of the portfolio. You might emphasize this more by having fewer pages that feature your characters. For the backgrounds as well, you might have examples that show your whole process-eg a sketch in graphite, a pen drawing that builds on the sketch, and the a completed piece with color (or whatever your process is). And similarly, show yourself as exploring detailed backgrounds in a variety of styles, including non-cartoon realistic styles-eg a series of realistic tidepool sketches drawn from life followed by a detailed tidepool painting drawn from your sketches. A student with a full story project with a plot and characters is always going to be second choice to a student who is flexible, creatively exploring, and committed to actively learning new approaches.
