>>4074833Oh yea, the boarding industry community on twitter has a LOT of taboos. If they get the impression you are there just to rub elbows with boarders in hopes of getting a job, and not to praise work or share pics then they will become really mad at you. Any level of pandering for attention from someone in the industry on twitter is looked down upon.
You are also not ever to reach out to anyone and speak to them unless you have at least several mutuals in your contacts list that are also industry peers. You will be considered some asshole showing up just to network again (which they absolutely fucking despise)
You are better off just never really speaking to anyone unless you have at the very least 500 followers. If you have less than that (or near it usually) you are just widely considered to be some middle schooler looking for attention at best. And if you cannot attract a few hundred randos then obviously your work is not good enough for general public attention. Much less anything professional.
Never ask for advice ever. Just never do this. If someone makes a tweet that offers to help anyone that replies then you can. But never EVER go to them and ask for advice on anything from how to get a job, or to look at your work, never ask them about your work if anything needs improvement etc.
Never ever post your work and tag any of them. They really hate this shit since it seems to happen every 5 minutes when some piece of fanart appears.
If a professional makes a tweet saying they are looking for more boarders/painters etc, do not respond to this if you are not a professional mutual. If you are a student, up and coming, or have no work experience on an actual known studio production, do not reply to them in the comments. They hate it when randoms post their fanart pics claiming they are boarders too.
