PSA: If you hire an artist for cheap on Fiverr you're gonna get what you paid for

A solid third of the posts on this sub seem to be people who think paying an artist $20-50 on Fiverr is going to get them something other than trash.

I don't know if it's naive folks who don't understand that work takes time, or maybe they think that creating art is more of a hobby than a job... but please, think about how much time work might take then think about the minimum wage in your country/province/state, and consider *why* someone might just throw a prompt into an image generator for the amount of money you pay them.

If you're looking for an artist they're easy to find! Just go on Instagram and search something like "Cartoonist [area I live]", I guarantee you that you'll find a few in different styles with different levels of experience.

And if you can't afford what they charge then just go to ChatGPT or Midjourney or whatever yourself and skip the middleman. Then you'll know it's AI from the start. You're already undermining the value of art by throwing $20 at someone on Fiverr, might as well go all the way.
