Well I suck at art, so you're a Picaso to me. ;3

yes, but as your ability to draw increases, your expectations of what good art is also increases

Wouldn't that then make your whole "watching yourself" thing impossible?

eventually your expectations would catch up to your ability

No, but drinking and making stick figure comics is absolutely hilarious.

You must be joking, i love how good your art is. I would love to draw as good as you.

yeah it's good, but I really can't wait until it's great

Oh no, it is great. I love how it sticks out from other artists.

way better than me

wtf are you on? XD

just margaritas

Also: don't drink and derive. That's a division you just can't equate.

I think you are, if that means anything

Your art style is very bright and happy, but not all that detailed. But the good thing is that you are not an artist that has the issue of all their character's faces looking the same (saphwolf, shiuk, etc.). Your art style is still distinctive, but a lot of your characters still have a good amount of diversity.

Of all artists i have seen, you are one of the better but of course not the best i have seen. I only watch people who have art that's average or above, and i watched you so... :D

yeah, I have standards when it comes to watching people as well, but I still think I'm about average

Hey now - a drive for self improvement is great, but don't go selling yourself short!
It's been a pleasure watching your art evolve from when I first laid eyes on it and commissioned a few pieces - and it's only been getting better. You've developed a distinct and enjoyable style without looking like 'other artist X'.
Keep it up, and take at least a little pride in your work - it can't hurt.

well I like my art, and I charge what I think is fair for commissions, but there's nothing wrong with wishing I could be better

Not at all - but from the initial sound of your journal you sounded almost let down with yourself. Maybe me misreading things.
I enjoy your work, and the fact you're striving to improve still :3

You're definitely in the top few percent.

nah, I'm probably a tier lower than that

You're also a horrible liar.

Seth.. I think your art's rather good!

Me neither
-watch
I:<

It's infuriating sometimes, isn't it!

yep, but it's been getting easier

Practice, practice, practice :) I'm glad you're around, and I see your ability increase with each image you post.
Can't wait to see what awesome shit you're pumping out a year from now!

same here

Please, don't ever think you are "great". Maybe that sounds odd at first. But the moment you think that, is the moment you stop learning and improving. I've even seen artists who , once they get an ego over what they do, start going backwards with their skill. ^^ I see that waaaay too much.

But for what it's worth (and I know it's not worth much) I really like your work. :)

i look at it this way theirs still room for improvement and you can get even better

Heh, I'd watch myself, but that's because the bar for 3D is so frakkin low.

In my very short experience, how the artist views his art has more to do with the artist than the art. Over time the subject improves, but the observer becomes an increasingly experienced critic in rough lockstep. Sometimes it's hard to keep a healthy grounded perspective that I'm better than, and worse than, countless others, so the best perspective is just chill out and keep practicing.

Every once in a while I have a sort of "out of body" personal reflection; half the time it's like "I can not /believe/ I am doing this" (usually while combing the fur on a bunny boy's ass) and the other half it's "I can't believe I made that!" (usually while staring at nicely combed fur on a bunny boy's ass.) I can just only hope that it's more of the latter in the coming years.

Of course I'm biased, as a fan-art-certifed-fantard, but I hope that you'll keep pushing forward and I'll get to see what weird stuff you'll be putting out with thousands more hours of practice.

DRINK AND DRAW! Works for me. Well, drinking and modeling. Also, the cause of that one time I talked in stream chat.

I hope you never find yourself great. That's when you risk becoming complacent and stop progressing. Or at the least, not as hard.

Did you hit your head??? Your epic xD I love your art

I've got other commission but I think I can manage one more, just send me a note
