[RANT] So apparently I've been too nice.
13 years ago
It's funny because, you would think the ones who you thought were supporting you, wouldn't actually go behind your back and make assumptions about your intentions for something you enjoy.
"Friends" don't do that.
Well, unfortunately, someone feels as though I've been going out of my way to make sure all of the well-known users here have some sort of significant respect for me here, to boost morale. Otherwise known as "attention whoring".
If that was the case, wouldn't you see like...10x more fanart of characters that I adore, more or less those who are"popular?
I'll admit, there has been a vast increase of gift art and freebies versus my main artwork; stuff that is owed like the IA, and overdue commissions. The past two images featuring both psykrow and herro were drawn mainly to have as backups for examples to use via full color commissions.
I've considered soft shading in my outdated price guide to be just cell-shading, with minimal gradients. I didn't want that style to be confused with my full color illustrations, especially since kits5786 was commissioning me for my "ultimate coloring style", so to speak.
Hell, if it wasn't for the recent hiatus that I'm STILL recovering from, all of my existing commissions would've been completed, and I probably would have been on #35 of my IA by now.
Shit happens.
But one thing I am not going to do, is just let some "experienced" artist assume shit about my decision-making. Sure it's their opinion and all, but when it starts to hinder my existing friendships and how they view me as an individual--it's gone too far.
I'm sick and tired of feeling like I should just be considered a lesser in the food chain.
I've been too nice, apparently.
So, to the person who somehow knows all my "evil plans for becoming one of the biggest popufur in the history of nothing";
Go fuck yourself.

This'll take about 2 minutes. Maybe 3.
First of all, back then I didn't take art seriously. I'll admit it. I was a hypocrite back then. A jealous, butthurt, overly dramatic hypocrite who didn't get what he wanted.
Things have changed.
There's a difference between knowing someone on a friendly level and knowing someone solely for attention. I don't know which one you fall in because I barely give a fuck, but my intentions to draw for certain people are from my heart.
In case you haven't noticed, I don't wish to dine in popularity. I don't even think I'll give you the benefit of the doubt by linking you my friendship vs. popularity journal. Find it on your own.
EVERY artist wants recognition. It's just the human condition to want to be praised for things you do.
I wish not to be the 'best in the business'. I mean, seriously. It's art. Why the hell would you care about what I'm capable of?
But alas, I should've expected this type of behavior from you.
I don't really see any reason for you to be involved in this matter. If I can recall, you stopped being an associate long ago, and now you decide to come back and give your 'opinion' on things after the fact?
Ha.
Good day.
Some people need to get off the interwebs and invest themselves in a hobby.
Wow so that must be why you befriended a nobody like me! :D
I'm definitely evidence that you aren't trying to do that, so a pox on the jerk who said that.
I haven't really talked to you, so I don't know any thing about you as a person. I DO know you have been nice to me though, and I do appreciate that.
Things happen in life, where we, not only as artists but as human beings, are not able to do the things we would normally do or want to do. Illness, depression, situations in life, they all have an effect on people. I hope you recover soon so I can see much more of your work.
They get suspicious when we're nice... And they yell at us if we forget to say hi...
