Mate don't quit cause you think you are mediocre. A lot of artists, even the high profile one have a disliking for their own work sometimes. But what should matter is if your watchers like your work and I for one love your work, I have been wanting to get a commission from you for a while but I keep either forgetting or don't have the money to. I want to get a picture of my character as a shark from you so bad >.>

I tend to forget that idea to..admittedly i know that even other professionals commit mistakes..but i just can't help the feeling of being better to like one of them..

It was a big mistake of me to compare my skills to them, knowing that their level is higher than mine..it's there are moments i feel really down..
but i guess i should man up and understand that every commit's mistakes..and having their own flaws

you're kidding right? your art? mediocre? sorry but you TRYING t make this guy die of laughter? korex, you're an aazing artist and i'm sure everyone will agree 100%. i LOVE your art and i find myself enjoying your art every single time ad can't wait till yer next post, if you do post one.

Thank you for the warming message..
i guess i'm still at that point of improvements still..it's just the constant stuff i do is wearing me out..
i just have a big thirst for learning many things..

and that's going to be what define you, what you learn and how you use your knowladge. just keep your chin up, use yoru own style, which i can tell you're doing, your art is unique in its own beautiful way,after all art is music for the eyes.

Another one? I swear, some sort of insanity virus must be spreading throughot the fandom or something. This is the fourth artist I'm privy to who's said they're leaving the site recently.

People, really, GET OVER IT. Whether it's drama, depression, hardships, or even illnesses, it WILL pass. No need to flip out and ragequit over it. At the very least take a break and come back when you're feeling better, but don't go all melodramatic on everyone.

Tough love: gotta love/hate it~

I dont wanna make it as an excuse..but there are times i have those moments of weaknesses in life, which really upsets me alot on most times.
But telling me this..thank you for reminding that big detail. whatever the drama, big or small..people don't really give a damn about it..in some cases.

Hiatus can be a good idea as you said..it would help..

WHAT AOBUT TALKING TO ME?!?

Im really sorry, if i forgot.
I dont recall you Asking Me To chat And stuff..

Only half did. Just... don't want you to leave....

*hugs* i won't.. i just need a long break to ease myself up for a bit.. :)

Don't be gone for too long, alright?

Really? I find that a hard claim to substantiate. I, for one, have been waiting for several weeks to get a commission from you...and I don't pay money for art I find to be stale or mediocre. You're a wonderfully talented artist and, while I understand that depression can hit us hard and fast (believe me, I know this very well), you shouldn't allow it to obscure the truth of your talent.

I truly hope that you reverse your decision and decide to remain active. Your skills should not be allowed to go to waste. Take care, and best of life to you, whatever you choose to do.

I will and i am, i don't want my stuff to get to waste just by stopping..failure just happens when i stop..
your right..i have to keep moving forward..
..and it did hit me hard..i knew that someday it'd happen to me..
the artistic community is very..nerve-wrecking and hard..but yeah..as what you said..
i wouldn't blind myself of my insecurities.

I'm glad to hear that. If you ever need someone to talk with, I'm always available. I've been told I'm a good listener. (Smiles)

Oh common D: your art isn't mediocre.
Sure you have doubts about your skill but its not bad TT.TT mine is much much worse xD
Short and sweet, please don't go. Another great artist will quit over something?
What happened? If someone said your art was bad, or say someone IRL gave you crap about it then none of them know what their talking about. Your work is fantastic; maybe you just need a spontaneous idea to draw, perhaps It's just a artist block?
Nothing to quit over

heh..thanks for the kind words..
..i won't go away forever.. :) im sorry if i really made it sound that way..
i just needed some long time off to think about the stuffs, but thank you..i won't quit..i won't stop..i'll keep this and what the other's say as a motivation for me to do more..my best.

and accepting critiques

your art, not mediocre, people would pay for your stuff, and even if you don't think people will like something, post it, if anything you can post it in your scraps. it's always nice to get feedback on your work. and please don't go. too many people are, and i don't want to see anyone else. if something's happened, tell us.

Awh..as i said on most of my other messages..i wont go away forever..
i just need some long time for myself to relax and clear up my mind..
True..art is to express not to impress. *nods* thank you..

no prob. if you're taking a break, i look forward to your return

I'm not gonna tell you not to quit; if that's really what you want, then it's up to you. I mean, people can try to convince you to stay, but in the end it's entirely up to you.

What I'm going to say is this: If you're gonna leave, don't do it out of something like thinking that your art is mediocre. Your art is really good. It only becomes 'mediocre' if you think it is. If you leave, do so thinking 'I'm out, bitches. That's right! I'm depriving you of my awesomeness'. Don't you ever think you're not good as an artist

Thank you for the reassuring words and advice..
but you have a point there..i was too blinded from my expectations and insecurities of myself..
it's just i need critical feedback from other people..wether i need to improve more or what..it may sound selfish or what..but it's just something i need as an artist too..
but yeah..i just need some long time break for myself to think clearly..

Dude, no way. Your art is fine. I know everyone feels like throwing in the towel sometimes, but you gotta keep going. Don't do it for others, do it for yourself. That said, if quitting is really what you feel you must do, than go for it. But listen to your heart, not your insecurities.

I just don't Know What to Say Right Now But yeah..
"draw To express , not To express". I Just have Those moments of weaknesses in most times Ya know? Sometimes it can't be helped..

I know. We're all human. I feel the same way a lot of times, especially because it's hard for me to find work. I turned to commissions to try and get help, but I got zero commissions. I got so frustrated, but I remembered that I'm doing art for me, so I've stopped trying to sell for a while, and am focusing on what I want to draw. :)

Stop bitchin, artists have their call for attention at times because their art doesn't get either: more comments then expected, more favorites then expected OR watchers.
Instead of saying: Imma quit go back, I hate myself, be a dude and admit what you want instead of calling it like this, this is called attentionwhoring it up to above and beyond, lawl, stop feelin sorry for yourself and maybe practice more so you WONT be a medicore artist if that is what you mean.

Well thank you for the eye-opener Of what You Think..
Your Right, i was Blinded and Expected Too Much..:)
I'll Take note Of That.

..adding to that, there are just times i need a little critique on the stuff i do for once in awhile..
yes comments like "very cool" , "Oh hey that's awesome! good job" is nice to hear..
i just need something that points out on the flaws that i often don't see it myself..that's why i need the help of others and people like you to tell me to those things..
i'm not trying to demand it over...i'm just asking.. that's all.

This is FA dude, if you don't draw giant dicks or boobs, cunt fucking and so on, no one will pay attention unless you are fucking... picazzo or wahtever. IMO just had a look at your stuff, you progress really well, it looks cool, just keep practicing and push yourself further, compare to your previous, what do you need to do better etc.

GOOD LUCK SAN!

you got to be kidding bro! what makes you think like that?

It just looks stale..and there are times i don't see any improvement at all..
but hearing others say that i have changed alot..
i won't leave forever..i just need some long break for myself..

dont be so hard on yourself bud. IF you need a break i totally understand that but belive me and your friends when they tell you really improved a lot on time. hope to have a chat with you soon man

If your looking for critical feedback... Lol I can break everything down in the tiniest detail on what "needs" improved. (and by that, just something to be a derp and want a change. Like the hair is uneven or something XD)
But sometimes maybe people just don't feel up to trying to search for a flaw to be rude. And when they can't, you can say how awesome it is, who's gonna say otherwise? X3

That would be much appreaciated and thank you.. Yeah, since there are things that i can't see my mistakes but others can see it. that's why i ask for comments or what sometimes.
I just don't want myself to be overconfident at the same time..because if i did that. my pride would go up..making myself very..hard to listen to critics of that happened.

Welp. I'll give you some feedback on what ever you post~! ^.^ I won't go over the top with it either

Who said you are mediocre? you? =O Please Korex, that not true =C
That a normal thing to have doubts about your art, every artists have this feeling sometimes !
Don't compare yourself at other artist. You have your own unique style and that your strength ! You just need to practice a lot and never give up !
Right now, I think you need a bigggggg break. And come back with a fresh mind *give you a strong hugs* <3333

..Yeah, it's just those moments where i really got shot on my moments of weaknesses.. :'(
i just don't get enough feedback wether i need to work on my flaws and other things..it's just something from an artist as myself..

and yeah...comparing myself could just make me more depressed..like what happened..and thank you if you thought of me that way.. >w< it's really nice of you to say..
Thank you very much.. <3 Very. *hugs back*
