I've always thought all artists from this branch were alike, one guesses that people who draws stuff for videogames, comic books, TCGs and tabletop games would be invariably people who consume this kind of stuff regularly, but when I started getting into concept art/illustration communities I got a bit surprised.
I must say it, I'm a big dork. I play D&D, MTG, I know all the 649 pokemon and I cannot get people to understan my pop culture references, so just drawing stuff that is related to all this, is only logical, but when I started looking at the community, I started to get the feeling that not everyone (actually not the majority of people) are interested on all that nerdy stuff.
Is my impression true? And if so, what's your motivation? What's your reason to work/want to work on all this geeky products/culture?
