AutisticFurs For ten years, the time I was around in FA, I was always a wallflower. Just one of those ghost icons with the brush bucket for icon, making art just for the sake to be ignored. I've come to that realization once I've seen how poorly my drawings were doing, and still do, online.
What did I achieve in that matter of time, with artistic knowledge, the right contacts and the "skills" I've acquired? Nothing. Nothing at all. Just a shitty number of faves that don't even reach the basic standard of 100 faves on the same day. A miserable number of follows that would make a newcomer proud like the biggest artist on earth. No comments at all.
I'm honestly debating myself if to keep my FA account around, or at least posting stuff here. But it's pointless, when there are better, greater, and more kind artists that not only made actual effort to be at the place they are now. They've become friends, and colleagues, with other artists that are superb as them, and even with people who don't even draw and somehow are for the likes of those artists. Why do I have to be the ignored one?
My absence won't make any difference, but it won't make someone sad, worried or even try to get me back. I still don't know if I'll do so, but I feel like it might be the best for the community.
I apologize for being here.

I’m sorry that the amount of reception/attention you get isn’t fulfilling. I won’t say that that doesn’t matter, because it’s a big aspect of being a content creator.
I see your art more often on FA than Twitter because I visit this place more, and it’s a more reliable/searchable archive for art than Twitter. I think it would be unfortunate if you stopped posting here (would you cease posting on all platforms?), and even worse if you deleted this account and the followers you do have would lose all your stuff that they like.
Ultimately, what you do is up to you, and whatever you end up doing, I hope you can find fulfillment and satisfaction in the future.
And your art is great, people love it. I would hack my own legs off with a meat cleaver to draw HALF as well as you.
This is coming from the absolute worst, most pathetic “artist” to ever disgrace the fandom and the world of art itself. Be thankful you are a real artist who actually can learn to draw and get better with practice. I and allot of others do not have luxury of being real artists.
Please don’t go. Allot of people love you and your work.
It's complicated for sure but you're still right that the thing that we artists need to keep is enjoyment of the craft.
Let me say this if you only doing this just for the faves and attention then you are doing it wrong, arts, as well as many other from of art media, is subjective so it will hit people differently so you never know what artworks you make will be a big hit or not and that okay just as long you keep drawing and improving and just do artworks for yourself and others you will do alright.
I have been doing this for years and I still don't think I get a lot of attention here or anywhere I post my artworks but just as long I keep enjoying what I make and what I make for others is all that should matter.
I don't know how to express admiration more genuinely than that.
I have notice that people don’t seem to want to socialize online like they use too... not sure if it’s a new permanent change or just a temporary trend... I know so many people are still somewhat active but over work with life...
Sometimes it is best just have means to keep in touch with others and make history.
