Wasted fan talent

Holla Forums What is it with autistic fandoms like Undertale and FNAF that gets people to waste their talents on something so autistic?

The answer is in your own post twice.

...

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Thread

Mettaton being a gay robot male instead of transgender triggers tumblr. Not even kidding.

Fuck I can't believe I forgot about music.

Well, to sum up it simply. Undertale ripped it's core lore elements and designs from well known RPG's, albeit shittily. Then shoehorned dating sim mechanics to make it appealing to lonely faggots. For FNAF, just go to deviantart. You'll see the most autistic lets player loving faggots eating that shit up, and making in-jokes about the most retarded shit. It's the purest form of autism.

That's not even kind of what happened. You didn't play it, did you?

"Wasted fan talent" is redundant. Using other people's work as a base for your own is an alright way to get started, but you should really grow past it and make your own things as soon as you can. Unless you're latching on to popular things to get views, in which case you're doing it cynically, but right.

Dude, no matter what it is, I guarantee you there's fifteen girls for every dude cosplaying. It's uncanny.

But what about my little pony, Steven universe and Zootopia?

77 million views for a five. Nights at Freddy"s song

Stupid media attracts stupid people. Why does this surprise you? You can have talent and be stupid, you can have work ethic and still be stupid, being stupid doesn't stop anyone from creating art, if anything it makes them more likely to.

It's only when an artist starts thinking too much that they go into a slump.

It just makes me wonder how well the movie will do.

I did actually, downloaded from one of the chaika threads. As for the dating sim mechanics, that was a typo on my part. But taking into account how it goes as far as letting you play matchmaker with the dyke lizard and gay fish. and the joke date with papyrus, you could easily tell what Toby Fox was trying to do. Even with the "date" you get with Alphys, if it weren't for shoehorned lesbian bullshit it would've been a real love interest. I mean come on, she created a human fanclub.

There must be some key to the autism in many fandoms, for example
what have in common:
If you know the answerd, you can make big money

Don't forget sturgeons law, for all the 90% shitty content, there is 10% brillaince that you have to sift through to get it. Like this animation/song. Why would you put so much effort into horsefuckery? I don't fucking know, autism.

...

How is that a typo? It's just a false statement. They are obviously not actually dates meant to appeal to lonely people. It's a humorous framework for character development, which parodies dating sim mechanics.

Because they are as artists are exploiting those autism bux. My most popular piece of art was some Undermeme shit. And now here I am trying to get something that isn't fucking Undermeme to become more popular than that. But nothing so far has even come close to the ratings I got from that Undermeme piece. And it shames me to this day.
That's what attracts all this talent. The shekels and the ratings. Make an Undermeme animation on YouTube and you'll get millions of views, all sorts of ad revenue shekels and people lining up to support your Patreon.

Post it, nigga.

colours, appeal to children, clear characters, identifiable stories


don't forget not only the autism bucks, but the attention.

I wouldn't be surprised if it does better than the Warcraft movie.

Have you made any art that isn't connected to a franchise or pre-existing intellectual property?

(Please note, this shit was made October of last year. I've since become much less shit)

You think that video is bad. This has better animation than most shows on Cartoon Network right now.
wasted on a Kesha song.

That is Disney trying to turn everyone who watches it into a furry.

...

Did you seriously just call the video you posted brilliance? Seriously?

Talent and technical skill has no connection to imagination and artistic merit. I know this disturbs some people, but it's true.

Aw shit, it's a crossover, to boot. No wonder it got so popular.

Fans are talented enough to actually improve genocide storyline by turning papyrus into a villain

how many autism points do I get for making this?
its animated too

I have no idea what you're talking about. But that video was pretty gay, and I regret watching half of it.

I see that people just join in the autism train but the key point is "what exactly trigger the autism?"

I can't see it move.

you're correct, brilliance is too much of a word, more like, good.

Yes. The majority of it only exists as inked drawing in my sketchbook but I plan on taking my original content in a money making direction soon. Preferably before I get into college so I don't have to work shitty jobs to pay bills.

superstar saga still is the best mario RPG after the originial paper mario and TTYD

Omega Temmie has no business being this well voice acted

I just took a screenshot nigga.
I'm not going to make a webm

Don't act too surprised. If you feel that you'll never get that picture behind you, you could always create a new identity to show off art that you actually want people to see


You get my boot up your ass

I understand why you're concerned with money, you need it to live. But your greed has turned you into a hack. Imagine if everything Frank Frazetta drew was from John Carter, or other pulps and he never put out his original work. You need to have an equal amount (if not more) of original concepts and pieces to the fan pieces.

There's always the risk that people will recognize you and tie your dark past back to you. I think the best way is to just accept it. Besides, a single picture is not so bad. It's not like he's spent years drawing dozens of homestuck or mlp fanart pieces.

Guaranteed views

Most of the faggots who make that shit are devoid of creativity anyways.

All art and entertainment is made in reference to something anyways. We have greats like Michelangelo and Donatello doing straight up fan art of the Bible. A huge chunk of stories use greek tradegies as base or again the Bible.

Musicians are the biggest scumbags. They straight up copy each other.>>9845822

Yeah, but the best artists know how to steal without getting caught. Idiots these days admit the fact that they aren't doing anything original. And the important thing about drawing works inspired by literature is that you're still coming up with original designs and visuals.

Why are girls cosplaying as mettaton so cringe worthy? Video related.

shame is for the weak

rude
I just wanted yo show my autistic fanart user

Post cosplayers who gives a shit

There's nothing wrong with that so long as you are at the very least original in your designs. Post some of it.

Because they're gender neutral fluid lgbtbbqwtflmaodarpawwe tumblr trash

Yes, but is it fanart?

Is that Betty from the Flintstones?

True, but I think it depends on how recognizable your style is. It would take a trained eye to connect the dots if an artist deliberately attempted to change their style. There's also, as you say, people who draw things like MLP for years then suddenly vanish.


I hope you're making a lot of money from the sick fucks whose fetishes you're hitting. At least that way you can justify your actions, to a point

I have far more original concepts and pieces. I just make most of them on physical and have no good way of capturing them losslessly. I only have a potato camera on my $40 phone.
If I could upload them in a way that didn't make them a blurry jpeg mess I would, trust me. I only ever make fan art once every few months.

There's no point in shame. If people want to see the embarrassing creations I posted on DeviantArt when I was 12 that were created with an old wacom tablet, I don't fucking care. It'll only go to show how my taste stopped being shit and how I got gud over that decade.
(Have another old piece of mine)

0, because it is not as good as this.
even though I wouldn't be surprised if you made this too

Pretty gudd

Makeway for best Mettaton cosplayer

Original characters donut steal.


Nope, I just like to draw cute weird characters. I don't even take requests because I can't trust myself to finish anything.

I didn't make that one

How is user's not objectively better? He's extremely on-model.

Because he didn't post it animated.
and I might have typed that out before looking at the image again. I remembered it looking better.

What does it say about Undertale when mlp cosplay tend to be a lot less gay?

I'm pretty sure other user has the better model

All this wasted potential makes me sad.

I made this for you guys - how autistic am I?

As an artist myself who's seen this all firsthand over and over throughout the years, let me explain to you "why".
All artists want to create unique and amazing things, characters, stories, etc. But most of them never get off the ground for one reason or another, but most often, it's because they had an audience to begin with. Who the fuck cares about your shitty OC characters looking cute? Who gives a shit about your story? The reality is no one will give a 'fuck about you if you don't build an audience first. That's why these "fan animations", drawings, etc. happen.
People do not care about your original creations. They want what's popular. You can draw something on par with the Mona Lisa, but only 3-4 people will see it if you're lucky and say that's nice. Draw something more popular and known to the sheep we call "masses", you'll have people lining up to suck your cock and donate to your patreons.
It's looked down upon. It really is. But for most of us, the only way to gain popularity is to ABUSE popularity. That's why good artists only draw FNaF and Undertale shit, because they either want the attention through the artwork or they want the audience. A good example of this is Egoraptor, who did shitty parodies, gained an audience, THEN did things on his own (see: Girlchan in Paradise, getting on to The Tester, Game Grumps in general).
tl;dr: Artists need to live and they want money. They draw what's popular for money and that's that.

It's a nice snake lady. It's got an interesting skull and I like that it has no hair, unlike most snake ladies.

>made brotherhood 'lol'
>followed by a unpolished fan game
whenever those anons are, i hope they're big guys

indie dev/10

That's actually really good but Undertale is still shit.

Hey look, someone actually gave the correct answer. Thanks, I was having difficulty wording it. It's less exact in my fields, music and gamedev, but it still applies to every field. There are other factors, too. You might make fan works, coping a known success, because it's an easy way to make something worthwhile, and grinding your skills up, before you have the adequate skill to make the original content that you want to make most. Also, even if you're not a serious artist, and don't intend to make a living off of it, it's the best way to get validation from people, and a whole lot of people are into various arts solely for some form of validation.

Gondolas are pretty autistic in general. Nothing inherently autistic about making OC, though.

At least it's finally over.


I want to fuck that werewolf

MONEY

Fuck.

With a fucking Congratulations-tier ending and a promise of en epilogue. It can't even end right.

Didn't that animator die a few years back?

M-maybe now that Andrew is free from his creation he can go back to simple MSPaint stories, right?

Recognition and money. It's harder to get people interested in what you make or do if you try to make new and original stuff instead of deriving from existing works. It also means you have a larger audience when you do make something new.

Nightcore for example wouldn't be as popular if people didn't stick images of anime girls to it all the time.


Apparently there's a Homestuck game in the works.

FUCK TUMBLRTALE

Id like to start out by saying, that i think all you people who play tumblrtale suck a big fat goat dick.

now, to move on

I think TUMBLRCUCKS are pathetic. all they do is sit around with their big lips and collect welfare. and if they're not doing that, theyre robbing, raping, stealing, murdering, or in jail. So id like to give a big fuck you to all you tumblrites out there. By the way, im not really racist, i have a tumblrite NIGGER in my family tree. Hes been hanging there about 20 years (badumdum!)

Now on to SJWTALE cucks. they are like a mixture of tumblrcucks and bunnies. they also sit around and collect welfare, but they have a different method. They all reproduce at an amazing rate, and then the welfare collection moves on into the next generation. They really all should be lined up and shot, with their goya bean clothes and their puerto rican flags. And, like tumblrcucks, they go out robbing, raping, mugging, stealing, murdering, and end up in jail.

WHY ARE PEOPLE LIKE THIS ALLOWED IN Holla Forums?

Jews. Hitler was right. They are nothing but money grubbing little fucks. like that guy toby fox, look at him. He makes a pointless game, sells a million some copies, AND THAT ISNT ENOUGH. now he has to make a movie too. That movie is going to suck, just like him, and just like all his fans. Hes a self centered piece of shit, just like every other jew ive met. And whats this deal with jews whining about the holocaust?!?! they gotta make movies, books, whatever. Its all about money with them. they cant spend their own money and get on a public access channel and whine about it, no they gotta set up a holocaust memorial, bug that faggot jew steven spielberg to make a movie that sold out, and a bunch of other shit. fuck jews.

Undertalefags. Well, Undertalefags are their own category. It seems they just dont get it. WE DONT CARE THAT YOU LIKE TUMBLRTALE! GET OUT OF MY Holla Forums! I know if i had kids i wouldnt want em to be seein a bunch of cum guzzlin tumblrtales walkin down the street with their womanly manhood dangling around screamin we want tumblrtale discussion….

YOU HAVE TUMBLRTALE DISCUSSION! YOU HAVENT BEEN B& YET! YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY!

All they do is fuck like bunnies and spread the tumblrcuck virus. I hope they kill themselves off soon.

Tumblrtales are out to ruin the economy. Look at em with their piece of shit meme games. Why do they have to evade our economy? I mean, i dont see anything wrong with them sellin shit over here, but they practically SHOVE IT DOWN OUR THROATS! and YOU FUCKERS keep buying the shit. I say we send a couple more a-bombs over there, take care of their tumblrasses asses.

Goat molesters make me sick, but they keep popping up! Whats this world coming to when these guys can peddle their goatkiddy porn over the internet! ITS SICK! All those goatkiddy porn fuckers should be castrated with plastic forks and burned at the stake.

Tumblrtales. God i fucking hate Tumblrtales. LEAVE ME ALONE! All they do is whine about how people are going to go to hell and try and convert people! GET A LIFE! god damn sexually dysfunctional little fucks! You should all be burned at the stake like you did to the pagans! I fucking hate you all!

i feel alot better after doing this. And im not going to hide behind a fake email address and name. email me, i dont give a fuck. all you losers are pathetic. go out and get a fucking life, quit sittin around masturbating to goats behind your computer screen you little scrawny fucks. Im so drunk right now i dont give a fuck if you fags fuckin email me. Hell, i'll give you my fucking fone number too while im at it, feel free to call me, or are you afraid to? afraid i might humiliate you over the phone? 717 867 1292, if its busy 717 867 1679, ask for FUCK OFF TUMBLRTALE, i'll be waiting for all your calls.

oh, and one more thing.

FUCK YOU!

Tumblrtale

Yeah, thats right you fuck, i hate you too.

...

...

Oh right, the homestuck game that comes out NEVER EVER

She posted an update video 6 months ago, which in terms of the average animator's update schedule, was yesterday.

...

Shit, scratch that, here's one from two days ago.

This is gonna get more replies then my breakdown, innit
Oh well, here's a (You) for both of us

Eh the animation is kind of crappy and the singing is average. I don't know what you see in this

Here's a (((You)))

What about TF2, Doom, or The Elder Scrolls? How about Super Mario Bros, Pac-Man, or Sonic? What about Homestarrunner.com or Warhammer 40k or whatever flavor of the month anime?

Thanks, I modeled the head after the features of real sneks

Wait what?

Have you seen the amount of weapons grade autism that is poured into practically every fandom? Say Touhou for instance.

The singer is not the animator. Regarding her, though, I think her voice is fine. It's the tempo and lyrics that are the problem. The song's too slow, and it's like she gave up half way on the path to a good idea for a lot of the lines.

...

its ok when japs do it ;^)

Why?


I'll bite.

It is. Some of the Touhou fangames are quite good. Let's not forget the Japanese actually publish their works unlike the fuckers here who jew you on their crowdfunding sites.

i liked some of the autism so its ok when japs do it :^)

Nice meme.

The description:

Anyway, have this instead.

its ok when japs do it :^)

Touhou isn't just the Japs, though.


No, what I'm saying is that literally any following of sufficient size will attract autism and cringe.

The reason why it took most of the other fanbases decades to reach that level of exposure is because they existed before the internet.


Yukkuris exist and were rampant once.

I'd also throw Kancolle out there. Only a fraction of the age of Touhou but has all the autism and more.

At least with Doom it comes in the form of .wads

I agree.

2hu isn't politicized at all, but the fantastical elements, and what are effectively stock archetype characters ripe for fan content production, are a large part of what make both of them popular.

Have you interacted with the "mainstream" western 2hu fandom? I went to their panel at AWA 2013. It was a fucking travesty.

im a weeb so autism is ok because the japs did it :^)

Her voice is fine but it's pretty average. I've had classmates in high school who were just as good and went on to do something else with their lives. It's not really "wasted" talent if it wasn't that great to begin with.

Yes.

How does one fuck up this badly

I never got gay "pride". you should be proud of the things you accomplish, not gender preference. It's like if I went up to someone and said "I'm so proud that I like strawberries!!"

I get that some people probably went through rough patches for being outspokenly gay, but the pride still comes from overcoming adversity, not that you like dicks up your ass.

...

I had completely forgotten about that, which is a shame because it seemed interesting.


It's about speed and potency. Nobody gives a shit about Warhammer 40k because it's mostly quiet. Hell outside of chans I haven't run into anything, even use of the term Heresy. Closest I got was a Sister of Battle cosplayer at ACEN a couple years back, and she was completely bro-tier.

There's a certain formula for autismal fanbases and I wish I had the version an user summarized. But basically you need
There's more but that's all I remember. Even with the internet, stuff without most of these won't acquire a plague fanbase. Take E.Y.E., for example. It's been around for ages but you hardly hear anything of it. Same goes for eastern games like Freedom Wars where they just don't get traction.

...

The worst offenders are the horsefuckers. They spend time making games, music, animations, porn, everything and a sizable chunk of it is really, really good. I remember listening to this song, thinking that it was alright and I was surprised to find out that it was a horsefucker song.

Didn't that play on 4chan Holla Forums during the cuckenning?

dubs

So like a magical fox tricking people that she's actually human? I didn't know you were into bestiality, user.

...

wew

Devil's advocate, but maybe the pride comes from surviving the hardship brought about by saying they like the dick.

You say it like a crime has been committed because they made the art that they wanted to. You could argue that it's a shame that the collective efforts of these people aren't being used for something more impressive, but what they're used for is up to them in the first place.

Isn't it just because of the size of the fandom? You're bound to find good artists in the lot.

In the CURRENT YEAR? You'd be at greater risk for saying you don't. God forbid you refuse to play pretend with trannies, you might lose your job.

It's a real shame that Stebbins ended up as a horsefucker. Some of his earlier stuff was really good.

Is this video games

what a shame

But that's the thing, the pride should come from being a strong person, not a gay person. I'm sure there are tns of peopel these days who take the whole "gay pride" thing to heart in the sense that "being gay is something to be proud of!" and not the adversity part.

It's why you sometimes see those tumblr-esque posts of girls being "I want my son to be gay!!!"

Can't win em' all

Being gay is a sin.
Gays are sinners.
Pride is a sin.
Gays are proud.
Gays are sinners.

What part of this is hard to understand?
