Hey, Internet! I've got a question.

Sooo, say you find this incredible artist. You love their art, you watch their gallery, you're happy. Right?
Okay, so, let me ask: is there anything that would turn you off of an artist you love, despite the fact that they still draw well? If you find out that the artist is a jerk, can't take critique, updates too much, draws almost nothing but art of a certain subject (models, romance, angst, violence, whatever)/fandom/etc, or even that they love a band (or whatever) you hate/hate a band you love, or whatever else--would you still be able to enjoy their artwork, or would their personality or habits color your views (pun intended lol)? Would this change depending on the type of artist they were, like if they drew or wrote or did music or acted etc?

hmmm i think that if an artist drew nothing but a certain subject i'd probably get bored pretty quick. like if i realize that they're ONLY drawing ...i dunno, wolves, i'll probably stop watching them after a while. i need me some variety in my soup.

i figure you really need to TRY to learn a personality of an artist. or, they really need to have a seriously reprehensible personality that they insist on shoving in peoples' faces. normally personality isn't an issue i wouldn't say, but if an artist drew nothing but pictures where they were captioning them with like I HATE WOMEN (lol jack) i'd proooobably not want to deal with that, either.

Haha yeah, I'm the same. I'll get so excited and watch some artist on dA and after a while I'm like "wait why do they draw nothing but shirtless dudes"

UGH, JACK

yeah, the standard 'sexy animoo dude in the same 4 sexy poses' thing gets reeeeally old reeeeeally fast.

i mean it's one thing if you just happen to draw them a lot but i mean in that case shouldn't you only share the best of the best or something? :B
