Just don't know anymore...

General
I don't know about my life anymore I feel like I should just give up all hope of being an artist or anything for that matter
my art is not that good, if I was I would have have a real job in it but I don't.
All because of how I look people take advantage of me or treat me like dirt.
Just have to face facts I'm cursed to have an unlucky life. Nothing I do ever goes right and too burnout by everyone in the family and don't get any time to myself.

Drawing is supposed to be fun and you truly are a great artist!
Noone deserves to be treated like dirt, remember you are good just the way you are man.
Don´t dwell in the past, but move forward and become a better person from your struggles in life.
I know you can
And deep down, you know you can too. uwu
I hope ya can find some inner piece soon my guy.
Love ya~
Furthermore, even if it might not lead exactly where you want that doesn't mean it might not lead somewhere at all.
Ok, you might not be able to make a book or an animated show... so what ? Dozens and dozens of artists cannot do that, and yet they create characters and worlds people get more interested in than most complete stories, and that's what I'm seeing right now: a world with interesting and likeable characters that might not have a fully fledged story like those you find in book stores, but nevertheless manage to catch my attention enough to check out their art and short animations.
As for burnout... it can happen, just like the art block, just take a break if you need to and you'll come back later for more art nicely refreshed ^^
*LEAPS UP SLAPPING KIM TO SNAP THE FUCK OUT OF IT*
YOUR ART HAS BROKEN MY ART BLOCK AND HELPED MANY PEOPLE THAT CANT QUITE DRAW BUT NEED A REFRENCE OR ANYTHING BUT THE POINT HERE IS EVEN IF DRAWING CANT BE YOUR MAIN JOB. ITS AN AMAZING HOBBY YOUR REALLY FUCKING GOOD AT SO DONT YOU DARE GIVE UP ON YOUR PASSIONS! ITS NOT EASY BUT GIVING UP SOMETHING YOUR GOOD AT IS INSTANT FAILURE.
That's on them just being genuinely awful people trying to coast on someone else's hard work and generosity. You're better off without scummy people like that in your life.
I know how it can be when life doesn't pan out exactly how you wanted it, and all the bad vibes just swarm you all over, and you get down on yourself because 'we're our own worst critic', but you gotta hang in there.
If I recall, didn't you work for an animation studio at one point in your life? That's not something a lot of folks can say they've ever done. Even if that isn't the case though? You've really come a long way.
I say that you shouldn't have to wait for the opportunity to present itself, that you should put yourself out there, do comics, animations, and compile them in a sorta resume for any potential places looking for an artist as talented as yourself, even if it's say, a character designer for an upcoming indie game or visual novel.
If you find it difficult to make a book series or webcomic or whatever, why not collaborate with others who are good in those fields? No shame that. we can't all do everything after all and you're not any less of a person for asking for help.
It could be possible you're just burned out and need to take a break from all the craziness going on so you can finally recuperate?
Really whatever you end up doing, I'm positive the people who actually care about your well being and love your work will support you no matter what. Me Included
I did a collaboration before and it was crap the person had no interest in what I was tiring to do, and that was with a fanart imagine what it would be like with my own characters, Plus no one really listen to me so why bother tiring if all I get is the same result. I tired of accept seconds best
You're never cursed, or never good enough.
Most artists can be freelancers and make their own money by commission and publishing their own comics either hardcopy paper or online.
All of your art are amazing and gorgeous, and if anyone says that you're "not good enough," make them proven wrong. You got this.
I don't understand why you aren't involved in comics, or working as an understudy or even making corporate art somewhere. The alternative is porn or children's books. If you're having trouble with the content you really need to hook up with a writer or project that could use your talents, can't believe they aren't in demand.
Youtube is shit right now, if that's playing into it.
I hope you can figure something out cause it's just bonkers seeing someone with your output struggle. I would kill to be able to draw like you do.
And you really have superb art, imo. It's clean, clear, three dimensional, easy on the eyes, toony, etc. etc. Cleaner and bolder than Chuck Jones -or- Eric Schwartz, more dynamic than the vast majority of artists out there. It looks like something in a WB or Disney official comic, it's their loss if they refuse to hire you. If you can't join em, beat em!
Everything I do I fail at. I tried doing donations and got and fail at that anytime I'm asking out for help or so all I get is crickets or mediocre stuff that of no help.
I don't have the funds to hire a writer or run my own company.
I'm not a teacher so I can't do tutorials.
I can't do streams cause I have nothing of interest to say and my voice is sh%#.
Nobody can be bothered with just spreading the word about me so I can get a bigger audience so I can hopefully get lucky and get paid sponsorships, it's really not that difficult to do. Those same people support better artist.
So yeah I'm not a good artist I suck!
The overall business structure in the fandom right now is basically 'you draw porn for me of me because money' too so... then again I think your stuff is mainstream enough that you could evade that (doesn't mean you shouldn't draw adult stuff).
The Reason is that II've watched Cartoons all my life, and drawing is somehow I'm maybe good at it to me, and the only thing I wanted is the feel being discovered by the Muses of the Animations. Like Disney Animation Studio, or some other studios. But now, I'm struggle to make my OWN Independent Animation Studio. And I'm feel like I'm nothing or nobody understands my Artwork. Nobody.
But overall, I'm just keep moving Forward, and Onward, and who knows. Maybe someday everyone and everybody will discovered yours. And just keep trying. From T.L.
Hands down that it inspires but as for me... I have nothing...
I'm just a shadow of my former self... Made fun of by people and assholes by trolls and SJWs...
The injustice.
