Imagine being an artist

It’s the trend these days.

Aww. That’s almost as good as calling me a racist. Almost.

But right back at you, you triggered lunatic.

Everybody and their mom always says “art team knocked it out of the park” for like every zone and every xpac ever. The wow art team is probably the department that gets dragged the least in wow.

Speaking of which, I can’t wait till you guys get to Bastion in SL, it’s amazing :+1:

They don’t have to pay extra if they get it with a 6-month sub. They literally have to pay LESS.

The artists are employees on salary. Blizzard has a reputation of paying its employees as little as they can get away with. They artists are not working for the satisfaction of knowing that many people are going to be admiring their work, they’re working for their weekly paycheck and the prestige of being able to put “Blizzard” on their resumes sometime in the future.

Artists always get flak for trying to make money. I’ll be offended all I want.

I’m not triggered by you. I run into people like you all the time. I pity your type.

Making claims that art is only what you say it is and trying to gatekeep who calls themselves an artist.

People like you are desperately trying to justify some thing that hurt you in the past. Most of the time I find it’s pure jealousy that they can’t cut it.

People aren’t mad about the art, people are mad because this is stuff that should be in the game and it shouldn’t be used to try and get more subs for the quarter. Also if you think the store money is going to the artists you have no idea about the reports on Blizzard’s business practices, it most likely is not going into the artists pockets but into bobby’s pockets. If you are concerned about what artists get paid then perhaps you should be advocating for blizzard to pay their employees more. None of this is about the art itself.

“meh not my thing” is a valid opinion. “this is garbage” is not a valid opinion.

People have ragged on WoW artist’s work since tier 1 was first introduced. That’s part of their job to be open to criticism.

Yes it is a valid opinion .

Just because you take the opinion of some one that likes a person’s art as valid does not make the opinion of the person that doesn’t like it or how they express how they don’t like something less so .

Welcome to the adult world . People are not always going to be nice with their opinions.

Keep hucking projectiles at that dartboard of retorts. I’m sure eventually you’ll wound me.

People acting like professional artists don’t care about criticism, lol. The best ones are usually the most perfectionist and will 100% care if people sh*t all over their art.

I feel like this topic could have existed wholly as a title 1-liner.
