INSECURITY/ COMIC updates soon
9 years ago
im hyper insecure. really obvious, im sure, but i am, and it can be a massive bitch sometimes. it makes you act stupidly to people who are your freinds, avoid them, thinking they hate you in secret, or lash out when perception turns you bitter, no matter how incorrect. when i browse this sight, i become insanely insecure, so i dont. when i browse uploads, i also dont, when i see other artists do fanarts and be friendly, i automatically turn it in my head into"well, they are both so mcuh better then me, or they would have done the same for me" or" everything i make is so bad noone would want to". this is of course, stupid. you cant make everything about you, and when your insanely insecure i believe in a sense, there is a l evel of ego centrism to it. like you SHOULD be that person, you SHOULD be the center of attention. the silly popularity game played i think does, for some, create that mentality of using attention and views and view as some kind of self-affirmation of your self worth, and its silly. i know ti has for me, and im trying to stop
in short. i love drawing. and it has become a numbers game. if i dont get as many faves as others, it pierces my heart, because i have turned it into a competition with myself to get what i think i should and if i dont, i cut myself down and turn bitter. if anyone else deals with this, it isnt worth it. it will make you hate what you love.
i dunno, i have been thinking about this from last night. i want to be an artist that gets alot of faves, views comments, i want to be a better artist, but i think the need for that attention and the need to improve can be detrimental of priority is on the attention. drawing purely for views i dont think si helpful and it has defined me as an artist.
any way LOVE YOU GUYS! emily and committed updates coming next day or so, for patrons and shortly after for here! been behind, but getting there!

Ultimately I love creating things. I cant NOT create things and if people like that stuff then thats cool and if they dont like that stuff....thats cool too cause I create stuff because I want to. Doing it any other way you're just gonna end up feeling bitter and messed up.
Keep doing what you do cause what yoo do is ace!
as far as creating, im the exact same way. i have to, but the problem with me is twofold. i have to be better then what i am, always , and i have to be "good" good objectively(which i dont think exists) and in the heart nd mind of every viewer, or i turn on myself. when i dont get the numbers i want, i turn on myself for not being good enough. its a painful stupid cycle. but as you said, i need to. so i am learning i need to make a stand. am i going to demand perfection, and thus, eventually quit, or am i going to take my time and enjoy it and grow while enjoying it, and not worrying about the numbers(again, explained to me by my friend)
i really appreciate your thoughts, and i'm glad you like what i do, it means alot star. i like alot of your ideas and thoughts on things, and look forward to more
(also total side note, but hoping cottontail nursery will have some females being babied!)
i am really, really glad you say that though, im glad to now i am impoving visibly to other artists >u<
