>>5916668yeah it's real, people try their best but they'll never be like the greats despite putting in the hours and work. Not everyone can be toriyama, or who ever you look up to, plenty of mangaka put in the same hours and work but are nobodies in comparison. Does it matter? as much as being born beautiful matters, yeah it's cool but you can still enjoy life & offer value. I can find enjoyable nuanced things in a lot of people's art that wouldn't be deemed talented. You don't have to be the best to influence others & have fun doing this, and if you're not putting in 5 hours+ daily for years practicing your fundies and fixing your mistakes, you can't complain about talent, because this shit takes years of sucking dick.
