@SuperFlyGhost 4 года назад

Most artist are independent free thinkers, but many of us are also passive and introverted. So making waves in PC culture can impead our ability to create. So we stay silent in many social situations. And when we do speak up we are looked at as mavericks or are then "othered" by those around us who are also unwilling to speak up. Scott was a breath of fresh air. Hearing Scott's honest and candid take on how the work effected him was truly a gift. I started crying a little when he got choked up and I could see tears in his eyes. Thank you for giving him a space to share his truth with us.

@alephthetheropod6210 4 года назад

I'm not an artist, but I consume artistic products. Do not let PC assholes bully you or break you. Us (the market) like the artists' vision of things, not the vapid nonsense in vogue, you'll see people will support you.

@chayemor 3 года назад

The managerial problem talked about actually spans to many other careers as well. Tends to be that people who also don't particularly enjoy the skill they have learned (whether they are good or not), also drift towards management. Management is something that should be studied, is not easy to manage but many do it out of the box and become corrupted by the power.

@ShinonArt 4 года назад

This was a very insightful talk and look into gaming industry. I sometimes find myself thinking about what it would be like to do creature designs for a video game versus just doing my own thing. Very good thoughts about the subject. One of the big reasons why I hesitate is how women are treated and perceived in the industry and this episode also touched on that. The question is just ignored altogether. "Is it a boy’s club?" "No, but yeah kinda." Good episode but that last bit made me feel like women are being left out of the conversation and the opportunities. Might be a good topic for another guest talk?

@kennydreadfuls861 4 года назад

Shinon I am friends with an OG female game designer who was extremely influential, and wasn’t directly involved at all with gamergate, but she had to shut all her social media down, and almost left the industry, and she was at the top of the pyramid. But she stayed, shifted her focus to fostering a better environment for everyone. So I hope that continues to get better for you. And I think that you should go for your dreams, but if you find it darkening to a nightmare, get out and regroup and start over. It is better to be working a day job and doing art at night then to let garbage people make you think there art is the problem and we lose another artist.

@aeoligarlic4024 2 года назад

Yeah i wish it was dissected further, listening to draftsmen this far I think Marshall has an egalitarian approach in all subjects in general. He tapped into it a bit but sadly it seems like they ran out of time to ellaborate. That being said i think women can thrive in the creative industry as well. Loish is one of my favorite examples

@aeoligarlic4024 2 года назад

Some comments here state how scot's being salty. But i actually appreciate his insights. I don't know maybe those said commenters are not happy with the reality of their dreamjobs not being what they expected. Here's a thing, an industry is an industry. No matter where you are be it animation, game, fashion, technology. It really isn't sunshine and rainbows. Hierarchy, office politics, and overtime are everywhere. And when you're in scot's age (which i get where he's coming bc we're in a close brackey) those glitz n glam of being in a big industry just isn't IT anymore

@amiroarrr 4 года назад

Marshall mentioned at 59:15 about artists who are "so happy to have their name in the credit of a movie". I used to be that guy. It is cool when you get to work for movies you actually want to work for, but after a while, I got tired of all the remakes, prequels and sequels. As much as working in the industry was really a cool experience, it slowly became a boring office job when I started to realize that Hollywood is out ideas. Just a word of caution to people looking to enter the industry - that passion can fizzle out, so it may be a good idea to keep up with your creative pursuits outside of work when you're not working your 80 hour weeks.

I feel like I can completely relate to the idea of a growing artist, I long for the aforementioned environment where one could get in contact with older artists of the industry and gain some much needed perspective and connections both humane and practical. It leaves me feeling bereft that we do not have such communities involved in digital art industry in my country. Such environment sounds like a little piece of heaven...

i don't get why there are these negative comments, this episode is as valuable as the others, i'm 20 and my guess would be most of the viewers are around that age and they should learn that from any story you can take out at least one useful thing to you, even a bad, useless story gives you what not to do...try actually listening and taking some notes that may not be useful at the moment but will come handy later...then again i could be wrong i am just a kid after all, yet to get xp and all that edit: after going through the other comments and rereading mine, i think i understand a bit more of what's going on down here, sorry to anyone i've caused inconvienience

@VisiColors 4 года назад

I love you guys and this podcast, but this episode just wasn't it for me. As someone who watches/listens to nearly every art podcast under the sun, I feel like this episode just follows the same formula that a large majority of those other ones do. I love Draftsmen because it's so different from those: it's always positive, inquisitive, informed, and community-driven. I mean no offense to Scott Flanders, but I guess I'm just really tired of hearing from people who were in the industry but "broke out" to become a teacher, mentor, or freelancer because they were sick of their jobs. It's continually the case that the artists who have this story are all in their 30's, but they talk as if they're 80 and have lived a full career and have mastered their craft. A part of me wonders if it's more psychological, and if we artists spend so long clawing our way into the industry only to get there and realize that the joy was in trying to "make it". I can't help but feel like, once we reach our goals; now that we've "made it", we become disenchanted with something that we'd put on a pedestal for so long. As a side note, every time that Stan or Marshall spoke up to either sort of dig deeper into what Scott was saying or make what he was saying more applicable to us, it felt like a needed critique or addition to this narrative and it was so helpful to hear. Love you guys, cheers

@randominternetuser2 4 года назад

Totally agree with this take. This was the weakest episode so far. They just talked about the same thing the entire time. Need more direction to the interview.

@definitelynotnick2454 4 года назад

So what are you trying to say? Should they just not invite independent artists who have valuable experience like this for younger artists? Patterns like what you mentioned happen for a reason, I guarantee if you had someone working in the industry on, they wouldn't speak like this simply because they have bills to pay. I'd rather have the truth than sugar coated bs.

Scott Flanders, your conversation is very interesting. It amaze me the artists that work in the gaming industry, all those monsters, creatures... Oh boy! I find it very imaginative, a lot of creativity.

8:13 the reason why I work in the games industry in Japan.

@thejakobistable 4 года назад

I get Scotts take on the left artists in the gaming industry. I started following a lot of great artists because of their work on twitter and my twitter timeline changed rapidly into non stop trump and conservative bashing. I am from EU and not a conservative at all, neither a trump fan but that annoyed me after 3 weeks.

@sambrook3010 4 года назад

Yeah I deleted my twitter when my feed became non stop retweeting of antifa/blm propaganda. There are a lot of dishonest people out there that will attack people, and start the clip out of context to paint themselves as the victims rather than the perpetrators. I spent so much energy debunking all these viral videos coming out recently and it was just not worth the effort at all, because even when you can show for a fact 80% of what they retweet is blatantly false they will continue to believe whatever they see at face value sadly.

Guess what else is annoying? Sexism and racism, non inclusivity. I totally get your perspective, cancel culture is awful, but the other side is much more harmful. It's just now white dudes are realizing their privilege.

I put off watching this episode for a long time thinking it was going to be the same old drink the koolaid video game industry talk...but I was wrong it was great. These are feelings ive had as someone on the outside getting a look in from many different experiences and directions and its nice to hear that all my informed guesses weren't wrong. I hope you will have more guests who can talk about the experiences leaving big business in the art world in the future.

@leonylopez4604 4 года назад

That painting is very sweet and scary at the same time...It looks like something happened to the parents of the child. I like it.

@peterjacksonanton4814 4 года назад

Haha when he talks about odd jobs, living with parents, and making less than 15,000 a year, that's where I am right now! Hopefully only a year or two before I can make a living though

@Changetheling 4 года назад

Excellent interview. Stan's questions were on point and the fact that you allowed the guy to talk about his feelings and thoughts is one if not the most needed injections of manning up the contemporary emerging artist field needs more of. And of course Marshall always shining with everything he says, even when silently listening to others. Mad respect to Scott for taking the steps of being a man's man and for creating the proper environment to reclaim those places for himself and the next generations of young artists in search of their mentors. Thank you very much for this episode!! Best podcast for real artists so far!

I will be honesh here. Artists working in the game industry are treated as slaves - all is set up in such a clever way that they don't even realise it. I had never applied to work in the game industry for that reason.

@ 41:00 What Scott is articulating is the perfect descripting of Failing Upward in the corporate world. It doesn't happen in only the art world, unfortunately.

@ajajj4589 4 года назад

This was so inspiring. Thank you, Scott, for being so real! I have enjoyed your art for a while, but now I am impressed with you as a person. I appreciated the honesty in terms of your journey. Hearing you discuss the reasons for changing your professional focus was inspiring. I was touched by your willingness to sacrifice for your son--excellent priorities. I am also impressed with your work ethic and your ability to overcome fear and step into a new career path. You definitely have leadership qualities. I look forward to seeing more great work from you. I will be sharing your inspiring story with my students and friends.

Does anyone have any recommendations for easy jobs that give you total creative freedom? For awhile I was working overnights in security and it was perfect but I had to stop to focus on my physical and mental health. Something that’s got lots of hours with at least half of them available to create that runs in the day time is what I’m shooting for.
