Kryuk,

If you would like, you can make his personality to fit with Reaper's how you would like. I have very little ideas for him, besides the fact that he's a Chaotic Good. So, if you wanted a specific dynamic, I can make Xy to fit it.

I find this fascinating. As an artist myself, I am very surprised by the amount of anger that comes from that. Is it so bad for someone to be so amazed by your art that they wish they had your skill? And to be fair, no, not everyone can do art, even with a lot of practice. My only thought is be mindful of the person as well. Why take a compliment so offensively? I have many people I aspire my art to be like, and my art is not to their level, nor will it be. Try to remember the motive behind such words and do not be so quick to criticize. Perhaps that is where the world would find itself a better place.
Consider taking the compliment graciously and for what it is, a compliment. And then redirect the attention of the complimenter, offer them resources to help them learn and say "Well these are some things I did to get this good, and you can do them too." How much farther can we all get if we chose that over bashing people for a compliment, or even a lack of self confidence.

No no, I think you read that wrong. We're talking about the people who repetitively use this "compliment" to guilt trip artists. Because at the time, loads of people were doing it. To add onto this, I understand where you're coming from, I really do!

But the people we tell this to don't put in the hard work. I've given people resources that have helped me and they continue on with, "I can't even pick up a pencil." "Or I don't have time." We're not complaining about the compliment itself (partly yes) but we're also complaining about the people who use it in the way that's been described. I appreciate your feedback, however, the 'lack of self confidence' is not the artists problem. It's the player's.

I'm unknown in the artistic community, I think, because I can't say I've ever had the displeasure of interacting with a someone like that. I mean, all I could say to someone like that is a cheery "Then git gud, scrub."
But that's the funny thing, isn't it? I was that person. For years, I used to and sometimes still do say "Man, I wish I was that good (at X)." By actual training, like time spent in classes with an instructor, I'm a Sculptor, not a drawer. I throw down clay, not throw down color. I strived for years, without a formal training, figuring out things and experimenting on my own, Frankenstein's monster-ing references into the perspective and pose I want, just to get where I am. I'm 22, now. I've been trying since I was 12 just to be "ok" enough at what I do that can proudly say I've made avi's for three people, myself included.
So, yes, I agree with Accustomed; it is all about the intent of the person behind the words. Whether their disposition is inclined towards actually Git Gud or if they're fishing for attention and undeserved validation.
For those that belong in the second...
