if you ask me, i think your work's more than good enough

Thank you!

sure thing

I really have no idea why such dump restrictive rules exist, lets how they'll change it one day.. ;
Now as for the number of watchers you have on FA (over 1700, including me), I dont think it's so small (after all it could be an entire population of a small town); Also you are far too unjustly critical on the way you draw, which is even visible in your own nick name (how you cant draw when you draw very well lol, its a nonsense); but this is of course only my own perspective;

My username is just old local meme. I like it.

Okay, sorry, didn't know that.

Your art is great, more than good enough.

I don't get it, are people just telling you "ugh, you can't do this unless you have 10k followers" or something, I don't think there's any "rules".
Unless there's some restriction I'm unaware of, anyone can make whatever they want (regardless of success or failure.)
Bonus points: if people get mad, they're just driving you up the algorithm and making it more likely that people will see the post and possible participate.

Reality showing that they actually right.

Because people on twitter are somewhat mentally deranged

If it could be only Twitter, BlueSky and Mastodon are much worse places in this case.

I know I don't interact much, but I think ur art is very pristine and beautiful. Also happy late bday

Thanks a lot! ^^

You have every right to post those sorts of things. You're an artist, a damn good one at that, and however big or small you are has no bearing on your validity to do so.

I've not been on Twitter in a long while, so I don't have the full context here and PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm going to assume you posted one of those "Draw your OC" things and ended up getting people complaining about it? If that's the case...Then realistically speaking, the people that put those sorts of complaints up require and deserve only one form of response: Deleting their reply and blocking them.

If they were actual fans of yours, they would respect your desires for art from others, even if that respect only extended as far as staying quiet and letting you go about it. If they were to lash out at you like that, then they've shown that they only see you as a art vending machine, and shouldn't be given the right to continue seeing what you do for free when even the suggestion of asking for something back is an affront to them.

So yeah...Repost that request. Let those miserable people come, and let them break themselves upon you.

Also, real talk, from what I've seen, Twitter has, in general, just become a far more hostile place of late. There's a reason a lot of people moved away from it. If this sort of thing happens regularly, I would advise against continuing to post there.

I'm just noname artist, that's the only reason. So it seems they are actually right.

Don’t compare yourself to other artists. Your relative popularity doesn’t mean anything and doesn’t make you any less valid.

Dawg I enjoy your work. Just keep doin what you have fun with and what makes you happy.

It sounds like either Twitter has some sort of dumb rule, or some users were looking for something to outrage over.

Either way...It's a vocal minority—they don't speak for us, for Twitter users as a whole, or for any fandom. It's all good to invite such things from your fans, all the more so on your birthday.

Your art is beautiful, in various ways. There's no way it's a limiting factor for your growth.

Well I reached nothing during 18 years. Other people became very popular or even a legends during same time.

I love all your work

I think you're work is great, It's awesome the amount of detail you put into your portraits!
