I'm wondering if I'm an outsider artist, or some other artist
07 Dec 2023, 06:44 PM

I know I'm a self taught artist, and I also just make my own stuff without refrencing irl stuff too much, I still want to make fantastical artwork too and stuff, just as an escape from the world I'm living in in reality. I guess I'll call myself a sheltered artist for the most part.

You're an artist. You don't need any other label.

@fragmented_imagination: Yeah, you're right, thanks Fragment

Look, if you can get together some long sheets of cardboard, some glue, some rubber bands, a pair of scissors and some coloured cellophane.

Let me know, I'll teach you to make warrior shin pads you can wear when you kick people and beat them up.

Speaking as someone entirely "self-taught" (read: mess about and see what works) and whose general penmanship is atrocious, there's a lot I envy in your style. :3 Given how one of the first casualties of this AI nonsense is that everything's starting to look the same, idiosyncrasy is to be cherished.

For the record, I've only seen "sheltered artist" bandied about to slur people for lack of imagination (usually due to a dearth of world experience). Fantastic inspiration would seem antithetical to that notion. HAV - Ida B. Wells

@Thorvald: Huh, I never thought of that, I mostly called myself a sheltered artist because I’ve been closed up in my room since I was a kid.

@N0-11: Ah, you mean literally sheltered. :P

I've taken art classes but I've mostly learn how to draw myself and found a art style I like. I also don't go out much but sometimes I really want too.

@thisthatagain: I also like going out, I'm just so used to being alone in my room lol.
