More of a hobby, but I do some vector illustration, I’m very lazy though and my latest one is on hold because I’m trying to make it flawless and just thinking about all the problems I have to account for is so overwhelming I just froze. I’ll definitely share on some Lemmy community or my own pixelfed @quazar-omega@metapixl.com.

About your impression that there seems to be few to no “content creators”, I noticed that too, the Krita community is dead and just filled with reposts from Reddit, there’s a bit more life in the Blender community instead, with actual people posting their own work.
I’ve come to kinda hate when bots repost others’ art, it’s pretty much pointless, you can’t give feedback or give compliments to the artist if they’re on another platform, you can just look at it and move on, which is just sad IMO; when people repost because they find a certain piece beautiful and worth sharing then it’s fine, but they usually don’t even add any comment (e.g. art posts on the !genshin_impact@lemmy.world community) to get a smidge of conversation going, of course, nobody is forced to do anything, I just find it disappointing.

What can be said is that there is huge potential for new “creators”* to grow in popularity, since there’s so little to see right now you could suggest to an artist friend friend to post on here and they would surely get some attention right away, they wouldn’t be drowned out by a sea of posts, so they don’t need to excel to make an impact.
