"People that do art for free hurt the art community"

Nah, their fucking degenerate drawings of a tortoise fucking an exhaust of a car ruins the art community.

Each artist has a different and separate art style, people won't turn away from buying from you because the other dude is doing it for free for the simple reason of art styles. And if someone does, that's a sign your art is trash.

It already sound stupid to me to earn money from selfmade art, no offense. But really, are they just into art for big money because they couldn't get them any other way? Doing art is more of a hobby, I do it on Gmod, spent hours on a single pose and yeah, I do it for fun and to challenge myself to create them on Gmod without any other software being used.

value is a completely subjective concept that we intrinsically associate with capital because it allows for pursuit of leisure and subsistance

something should be valuable to you because you feel its value be it materialistically, idealistically or emotionally

not because some fucking nerd on the internet said if it was valuable or not

angery reacts only

Getting paid for your art doesn't make you an asshole

Giving it away free doesn't make you a dumbass

Because it's paid for doesn't make it better

And it being free doesn't make it bad

It's your time and work, do whatever the heck you want with it. Who cares about what others think anyway lmao
