Malroth: King of the Nobodies
18 years ago
We've all seen it a million times... All the good artists have a dome of untouchable around them when it comes to requests. I think I have finally taken my art to the next level (just wait until you see the Renamon pic i have cooking).
Anyways, back to the topic at hand. All the untouchable artists seem to have formed a webbed society with eachother. They draw for eachother for free as gifts or hell, even talk to eachother. They hide on their messagers in invisiable thanks to the bombardment of people. I can't say I blame them. I have often wondered if I would be in a similar shell if I had every scrub in the world begging off me and annoying me, and bothering me while reading, or drawing, or even playing a game.
I am not to that point, yet, though. Some of you have started noticing my artistic eye, but I post so few pics at a time. Little do they know that a lot of my pics are requests, and I indend to keep my request nature alive. I don't charge comissions (unless situation demands it), but I do requests when I can.
Keep in mind that I am not untouchable, but I am somewhat seldom touched (no clue what that means...)
I seem to get poked by quite a few of my fans who desire to roleplay with me, which is cool...but I rarely roleplay... I find myself brushing off those types of friends, for some reason. I would like to share my various interests and hobbies, and insights on life itself, but no one seems interested in that kind of thing. It's almost as if I live in a void.
It is my firm belief that people can't get famous with good art on Fur Affinity alone. As a lot of whining journals lately have commented, artwork might as well be nameless here. This may or may not be entirely true, as I had never heard of the user nek0gami before FA, but that doesn't mean he didn't exist in FAP or something.
I get the feeling no one will read through this journal, either, but that is just how things work in FA. You would be surprised at the quality of artwork I keep putting off because I cannot find the strength of heart to finish it. I have dozens of pics offline that are better than a good majority of the pics I post here, but they are unfinished.
I have faith in this place, still, and hope to one day be a household name not for the quality of those I hang out with, or the timing of when I started drawing, but for the dedication I put back into this place. I have even attempted to start commenting on things more, because this cannot be a one sided transformation.
I wonder what it's like to be untouchable...

For instance, poetry gets looked less at, then lemons.
and Yiff over clean
and Photography of animals, over Photos picturesque styled.
and songs versus nature's music
ETC.
That is given, but it doesn't need to be that way.
So it starts off by favorite people's art and digging deep every once and a while. Going through there scraps. Then if you think they have potential or you liked them, what the hell, watch em. The thought counts.
Raise your paws in triumph, and keep your necks and shoulders high! One day this will be the place where Mixed Media Art will reign and KNOCK everyone's soxzors! Until then I wait in the shadows.. <tail wags triumphantly.>
+FAV Journal!~
If anyone takes to this place hoping to connect with people, it just isn't going to happen. (forgive me if you are the rare exception)
Those that lurk if they said something I guarantee you that this would be different.
