Heya art nerds! It's time for the second thread dedicated to everyone's favorite jealous, self-absorbed con artist and her beautiful all-ages watercolor comic, 7" Kara.

Becca Hillburn is an artist and art supply reviewer currently living in Nashville, TN with her living ATM/fiancee. She's behind the blog Nattosoup as well as her very own YT channel. Her primary claim to 'fame' used to be art supply reviews and field tests, but now she's most known for her bitterness and mediocrity. Egotistical and whiny to a fault, she'd rather sit back and play pretend art teacher to her 2-3 student workshops and sell 2 dollar prints at 12 cons a year than use her Masters to get an actual day job. Her primary personality trait is her two-facedness, presenting as a pleasant and helpful teacher upfront while harboring whiny resentment and bitterness beneath. She's also the artist behind '7" Kara' - an all-ages webcomic about Becca's ADHD self-insert ripping of The Borrowers and Thumbelina, rendered in muddy watercolors that she could totally do digitally. Becca shills the fuck out of this comic, going so far as to get physical copies printed for her to sell at cons and donate to lending libraries.

Previously
>Has been on YT for several years but even with her 'popular' blog cannot manage to break 10k subs. The vast majority of her videos hardly make it over 300 views.
>Nothing is ever her fault. Blames 'baby artists' and fans for depending on her too much without giving her anything in return (as in, not throwing money and love at her feet).
>Considers herself a watercolor expert despite her muddy, poorly-mixed colors and weak grasp on composition.
>SCAD alumni. Apparently didn't network enough to land an industry job out of school.
>Allegedly used to spend 7k a month on video editing - even though her videos are meandering, rambling, poorly shot messes.
>Obsessed art supply hoarder. Begs her fans to email art supply companies on her behalf to send her free shit then turns around to complain about having no room for any more.
>Goes on about her ADHD so far as to make an entire vlog series about how it sux to be hur guise.
>Actively resents her tiny pool of viewers and students, talking shit behind their back about how they don't support her enough.
>Made her obviously uninterested fiance 'interview' her at a cons… Just so she go on rants about how underappreciated and overworked she is.
>Has a hateboner for the online stationery retailer Jetpens.com (which she insists is an art supply store) because they refused to send her PR after she harassed them for it. Claims that she's single-handedly responsible for popularizing them, despite Jetpens being an established retailer before she started giving them 'free promo' at cons. She vagueblogs about them on a regular basis despite following their official social media accounts.

Recent milk
>Former friend of Kasey Golden and is very jealous of her success.
>Has made a name for herself on the con scene for her catty behavior and being the very portrait of Dunning-Kruger effect
>Claims that her struggle comic would've been more successful if it were written by her now-husband
>Launched 7" Kara vol. 2 Kickstarter
>Committed objectophilia by marrying her long suffering ATM

Becca's presence as a thread here confounds me because she's such a non-entity. I'm not defending her at all, but for someone with only 3k followers on Twitter to apparently have garnered this much ire is unusual. Did she fall from grace or something, used to have a lot of followers and then lost them? I can't imagine her style is something that draws a huge crowd, especially at cons where people prefer the digital style nowadays. What even is her "claim to fame" if even her most popular youtube video has only 200k views?

No. 1014245

>>1014218
This thread started cuz she tried to start a flame war with jetpens claiming SHE was the one who brought them all their traffic so she should be compensated as such, like it was super obvious she was trying to either scam them for more free products as she had done like one review before, and/or is incredibly delusional of the skills and influence she has. It was pretty much both and then more came out about her shitty teaching and actually being a contributor on the very popular “How to Be a Con Artist” tumblr which she had very little relevant info other than how to sell $3 sketches at podunk anime cons in the Midwest.

Honestly if she just stayed in her lane and did the work, even tho she clearly isn’t doing it correctly nor is learning from her peers, instead of whining about how entitled she is to attention and fame because SHE has contributed to others and she’s the ONLY watercolor comic artist with her super original story EVER, she wouldn’t have a thread. This is lolcow and she pretty much is just full of cow behavior but without the audience. She’s entitled and bratty and thinks she’s owed fame and money cuz she bought a masters from SVA and she’s delusional to think that kids comics are some kind of niche market. Heck, her Kickstarter isn’t doing well but the average amount of pledges is like 45$. But her weird entitled bitterness is just prime cow behavior imo

No. 1014266

>>1014077
So if I were her like, it’s a positive she is able to reach as many people who have pledged now for her original work. Like the average is about 45$ per pledge which is a lot. But knowing her and knowing it’s gonna fail especially since she burnt a lot of marketing like months before the campaign launched, she’s not gonna take any positives from it. Better to let it fail and learn from it.

No. 1014331

Why did she choose the All Or Nothing option? I’m just confused, this is six years of her life here. What is she even going to do when the Kickstarter inevitably fails?

I'm still suprised how much she got. I wonder how much of it consists of family members she begged to donate? I hope she didnt make her husband donate, considering he did a lot of the work. He should be getting money for his effort too but I doubt he is.

No. 1014508

>>1014218
I've actually seen some of her viral resource posts end up on my twitter feed. I think she gets traction from things like how to be a con artist because she is so loud, insistent on self promoting everywhere and trying to insert herself into as many projects and discourse as possible to promote her comic, but it doesn't materialize in following or views.

It's surprising she got noticed for the wrong reasons being this small, but it only speaks volumes on how she comes across. Either way a lot of people that get posted here have or had when they were first noticed even less "fame" than her. PT herself is a good example, she got a hate following after posting a crying meltdown over not fitting into a dress but she had an average sized following on LJ at the time.

This is not a place to gossip about famous people, you only to be noticed by the wrong crowd and she tries too hard to draw attention to herself while acting like everyone owes it to her. Be careful what you wish for, I guess.

No. 1014736

>>1014218
For me, her videos keep popping up whenever I search for cheap product reviews - and she always does a terrible job displaying the materials. She barely uses them onscreen and doesn't explain much. Then her entitlement and astonishing lack of self awareness just draws me in

No. 1014822

>>1014331
I think she says she prefers the all or nothing format of ks instead of something like indiegogo where you can keep whatever you get, because if she ks succeeds, she'll be guaranteed the money to go ahead with printing and shipping. If she does indiegogo and was stuck at $3k, she'd be responsible for still delivering on her book, just with less money to do so now.

She's unmedicated for some reason. And severe ADHD does suck to deal with when you are untreated. But there's no reason why she can't afford some 5 dollar generics of Concerta or Adderall or some shit even without insurance - it's just that she would rather spend her husband's money on shitty art supplies to make youtube reviews that no one watches.

How does this cause her to lose out on "promoting" her kickstarter? She can spam Facebook while waiting at the mechanic to get that shit buffed out.

>>1014855
It’s funny cuz there’s lots of comics about having adhd, it’s pretty prevalent in the creative field and I have no doubt she’s probably retweeted an ADHD alien comic or something. Some people can manage it without medication but she clearly can’t if it keeps affecting her like that, plus she’s from the south and I doubt she even has health insurance to get any treatment. But she’s made that her identity since she can’t be comics senpai anymore cuz people know more about manga now than she does.

>>1014984
Nah I think it’s like baylee Jae and her husband: we don’t know much about him but like, he’s not a helpless child he’s a fucking grown ass man so he could be just as awful or just likes to get stepped on or something.

>>1014508
She’s really the epitome of like, the opposite of “just be a nice person and do the work“. Like, indie comics is a small ass crowd of people and kids comics even more so, like people tend to work with the same agents and publishers so we all run in the same circles (especially now cuz a lot of traditional pub houses have started to get more GN titles onboard). Having a rep of being a bitter and entitled pill even as a no-name small fry artist is not good, especially since that’s what her personality comes across as in her publicly available videos. She’s already going to have a shitty time trying to shop her book to publishers since she knows nothing about kids comics so she’s digging her own hole by just being a shitty person

Wow. Extremely bold of Becca to give the winning prize to a piece of art that looks 50x better than everything. If 7" Kara looked like that it might actually be halfway endearing.

She mentions that she checked for contest entries via a single Twitter tag and ended up missing entries after she'd already announced the winner of the contest. She sent a consolation prize for the error, but I can't help but wonder why she didn't have an official email or somewhere contestants could submit without worrying about human error? Even Becca's contests are janky and half assed.

Kinda surprised no one brought up that she has to commission other (better skilled) artists for guest art for her book. I know she’s not directly using this art to promote the comic but commissioning people as it coincides with the Kickstarter makes it seem like she is trying to indirectly. Maybe it just seems that way to me.

Not to whiteknight but… there were so few rules in regard to her contest that people beeing to dumb to use the right hashtag shouldn't be compensated imho. I'm seriously surprised that people really took part in her contest in the first place. I could've bet she would've had no entries. lol

>>1015918

Maybe, maybe not. Everytime there's an dtiys on Instagram there are a dozen people skinwalking the og artist. (Which misses the point of an dtiys but that's another thing.) So it could be just a Becca skinwalker. Although the way the colours clash looks an awful lot like her.

This isn't great but I stand by it being better than Becca's by a mile. The composition and anatomy are fine. It looks like she was imitating Becca's unharmonious oversaturated color palette. It also looks like she either overworked her (cheap) paper or shaded in with a colored pencil.

>>1015403
That's the craziest shit I've seen her do so far. She used to rant and rave about anyone selling 18+ art near her at coventions and adult art being in collaboration fanzines… she must think this is a tag for tiny people stuff. Many older milennials like her have no idea how big the fetish community is.
It's still creepy to peddle a comic for children with a child protagonist to that audience, even more when the child is clearly an insert of her own child self

Yeah it at least has proper perspective so everything looks like it’s laying on the table and a slightly more understanding of anatomy in that the black girl’s fingers look more referenced but jeezus Christ, have these two white women never seen a black person before like, they both draw her either like generic anime but I referenced dark skin(Becca) or like a scary white person with slightly brown skin (this person)

plus I also peeped her profile, her site leads to nowhere and she hasn’t posted any art except this after 2015 but also promotes “art reviews” so she’s probably an IRL friend of hers? Her IG has more watercolor and besides this, which obviously looks like she was trying to emulate becca’s bad use of colors, she’s a pretty decent watercolor artist. If she’s learning watercolor from Becca tho she needs to stop asking her for advice

>>1016010
Should have said did not reference dark skin cuz becca’s painting of naomi’s skin nearly gets into being racist cuz it doesn’t look real and looks like blackface/Zwarte Piet.

She’s stopped tagging them with the fetish tag either cuz she’s still lurking here, someone told her on her discord, or she finally went into the tag and realized the implications of putting media about a young girl into a fetish tag can be pedophillic. I think it’s mostly the discord thing.

>>1017782
For someone who doesn’t really have that much engagement, 5k IS a lot and she has a chance since kickstarters tend to see a lot of their funding at the beginning and the end of the campaign. I’ll be surprised if she does and all those backers don’t drop out by the time the money clears. But I also have adhd and failing is gonna set off her rejection dysphoria so I’m expecting an entitled blowout that it’s everyone else’s fault if it does fail.

At 6.5k now, wouldn't actually be surprised if she managed to get that last 1k now. I'm honestly surprised she's even managed to get past a couple hundred. She has such shit engagement all the time, yet managed to get just over 100 people to pledge, even two of them pledged to her highest tier.

She might have a chance, lots of people are willing to kickstart comics sometimes and there is usually a last push near the end. The only thing is if she’s built enough of a buffer for expected dropouts, usually about 10 percent of pledges either don’t go through or are scammers. But if she’s gonna pull through, then like hopefully she fulfills it instead of blaming her adhd for everything

She went live to celebrate hitting the goal. Her husband is sitting out of frame moderating the chat while she’s having a tea party by herself (except instead of tea she put Dr Pepper in an antique teacup) why can’t she just share the table with him and eat together? It’s so awkward. She also said the best day during the Kickstarter was the first 3 days- did she forget she had a wedding?

Never understood why some artists make the conscious decision to draw noses like this when it’s so distracting. I’m sure there are some styles where it works but for cartoony or anime-ish styles it rarely does. You can really just draw one or two lines to indicate how small, big, or long a nose should be.

I thought this was the actual drawing and was amazed it looked decent but then I scrolled back up and saw your edits are leagues better. Like the fucked up nose and mouth like has she even seen a person, especially a black person, before? She has this weird, “I don’t wanna be anime I wanna be UNIQUE” style that’s super offputting cuz the faces are all putty and no structure

This would be an ok rendering of a white woman if she just stopped too but I didn’t see it was supposed to be a black woman, no wonder the skin looks overworked to death when she’s layering that much color on top of paper that can’t take it. Like for someone that has so many colors in their palette too, can’t just start up with brown layers?

No. 1024038

>>1023403
Dark skin is harder to render in watercolours, especially on lower quality paper. Mostly because with darker skin you want to be able to add extra washes to add depth. You can get away with cheaper paper for pale characters, usually, but with dark skinned characters the paper often starts speckling and doing weird paper tearing as you get towards a nice skintone.

I didn't even realise she did this sort of 'underpainting' for her art, because it doesn't show through. She'd be much better off just going straight into the dark skintone and shading from there to avoid overworking the paper. I guess she thinks she's a bit like Morgan Beem and can use underpainting as shading but boy does it not show or work for her.

No. 1024140

>>1024038
Right she’s adding all these extra steps with under painting while using a paper that is turning into mush cu it can’t handle it. She keeps adding these extra steps to be “unique” but they really aren’t, she’s just out of touch and trying to compensate for her lack of skill and storytelling

Watching that vlog, it looks like she had that UHaul outside her house for 2 weeks while she packed. That would have cost over $2000! I'm sure it's just a coincidence that her Kickstarter ended right when she needed money for moving expenses, and she didn't use her Kickstarter money to pay to move.

No. 1034720

>>1033980
Yeah like it’s strange to park a UHaul there for weeks to load when people do just that, rent it just to move on the last day. They probably do have a program when you can rent it out for a while especially if you move states, but it probably would have been easier to do a pod storage system. She stubbornly insists to do everything herself tho, so it’s not surprising.

Wasn’t she supposed to be teaching or running workshops in the state she was in? Did she never transition to online teaching or do you think she insisted on her shitty YouTube videos instead?

No. 1034722

She is completely blind to the fact she comes across as a stuck up know it all, like I really think she does interview badly in that she’s probably open about not wanting to work at a non-art job for money and not tailoring her interview in getting a job. Like a retailer doesn’t need to know you’re gonna dip immediately once you “make it”, they want to know if you’re capable of selling and working at the job assigned for as long as possible. She has this complex where she thinks she knows everything and deserves to be rewarded for it when clearly, her art clearly is lacking and she refuses to learn from others, not really appealing to people hiring you.

It’s pretty normal tho from the responses to the tweet to have partners or parents that support you in the early stages in your career while also working, a lot of artists come from money as well as various other advantages, but it’s really funny she thinks her work is equal to that when she clearly doesn’t know her market both for kids comics and for YouTube. She’s “working”, but she’s working in her own closed circle and not expanding because she thinks she’s a master of her art and demands to be compensated for that when like her entitlement into being rewarded for putting in the work is exactly why she’s not getting work

of all the "jobs" she's listing off, the only actual job she's had that isn't just an extension of her hobby is teaching. Everything else, the conventions, blogging, "freelance" etc. are just her attempts at monetizing her original art. And there's nothing wrong with trying to monetize your creativity but it's not a "job" until you're actually making back more money than you're spending.

She’s 34, turning 35 this year.

Her watercolor style is trash cuz she thinks she’s too good for tutorials and she symbol draws because she blames getting her bachelors at a state college in art, not like studying and constantly practicing art like most artists do. All the cons she did were podunk small anime cons in the south and Midwest too so it really feels she’s carried on this older senpai attitude with her, I don’t think she even can network with arttubers cuz her attitude in her videos can be so negative and trash
