There's a formula to successful images on FA.

I just don't want to follow it. =P As a teen I wanted to be "that guy" with dozens of people constantly talking to him, always popular and everyone loves everything his pen just happens to bleed onto a piece of paper.
Since then that desire has been smashed, smothered and thrown into a nearby ditch. My 10 laws of Drawing are as such:
1: I draw for the lulz. If I think it would be funny to share, then it shall be so.
2: I draw for those I respect. Often it is those who commission work from others, or who have given so much to the specific fetish community of their choice. (Ass backwards of me, I know. I give to people who usually commission such things anyway but there is always a method to the madness)
3: I draw to improve. I always try and one up myself, whether it be my style, my skills, or my hardware. It doesn't matter whether this is successful or not, just that I try.
4: I draw with feeling. My art will portray my emotion, so as to best capture the correct combination of the attitude and the topic at that moment.
5: I draw for stress relief. Often I will be plagued by family issues or inconveniences of day to day life. Drawing is a reprieve.
6: I will NOT draw for fame. I will always appreciate those who will watch me, but I will not draw for recognition. If I were never to be thanked for contributions to a fetish I would be okay with it.
7: I will NOT draw with the promise of money. Not because I'm against money, but because I don't trust myself to keep my end of the agreement. I am more ADD than most and have more half baked sketches than Sonic has power rings.
8: I will not draw something against my interests. I've stated this before in previous comments, but I do not enjoy scat, drugs, or bodily fluids that aren't white and creamy. I will always have an open mind however to other peoples interests within limits. (Pedobears are okay and use imagination. Pedophiles are physical and need to be locked up.)
9: I will draw when I feel like it. This is actually more important than you think. Many will draw without their heart put into it. Pumping out image after image solely because of popularity, money, etc. etc. Julius Zimmerman comes to mind.
10: I will draw for myself. If I want a tentacle corrupted, aged progressed anthro bunny with an ever expanding body, I will damn well MAKE ONE.
These are my laws, I will stick to them as best I can since I'm only human =P

Thank you. ^_^;
My "laws" of art are fairly similar, though I was unfortunately forced into breaking #7. In regards to #6, I actually used to draw in hopes of achieving fame, but then I finally got some and I realized I'm ill-equipped for handling it. ^_^;
#9 is insanely inconvenient, but often true. XD
Besides, I do this for fun on the side of my game dev team.
You're working on a game?
Ive been looking around for people to talk to lately. Would you like to chat some time?
Myself, I think I've slipped in regards to Nos.... well, every rule except the first two. I do respect a lot of people and their art, even those that hate me and/or blocked me (but I only draw for those that don't hate me or haven't blocked me), and well, if I find it funny it goes up on wherever I post at, whether it's here or DA or some other place.
