Abandoning this account/rant
12 years ago
I am tired of this. I understand that I am not that great of an artist, and that, I don't fully care. I enjoy doing art for myself. After many attempts to even get $5 dollars a drawing, I am fed up. People out there beg for shit or post some stupid shit, and they get shit ton of comments and people throwing money at them, but when someone needs help for bills or ect, not a single comment or commission is done spare for the notes that I have received stating I should "Stop being a whiny baby"
I am done putting up a front, this has frustrated me to no end and is pathetic when I literally can't even give away art. I ask people honest questions, no answers, post a raffle, no entries, post $5 commissions, one person even contacted me. I understand I am not popular but to feel unwanted is a whole other thing. It would be different if I had no watchers, but I have quite a few and despite posting art, nothing comes of it.
I have even asked for suggestions on what I SHOULD draw in order to gain more watches/views, and guess what? Even a fucking suggestion is too hard for people.
I didn't even want to do this rant but my mate told me I should. It all started with all shit breaking loose. First my tablet pc pen breaks and that's another 40 I don't have, and then I can't find my tablet in order to do art. It was that realization that told me I should do what I have been thinking about doing for a while. Maybe not to the extent I originally was, but to a small extent.
I am quitting FA.
Or to a more extent, I am washing myself clean of this account. I will be letting this one die and making a new one. I will be deleting all journals except for this one (not like anyone has read them anyway) and all the art I have on here.
I will also post my new FA once I make it if anyone feels the compelling urge to watch my new one. I will not, however put up a front any more. If people feel I am being whiny or complaining, I don't give a fuck and don't watch my new page.
I'm sorry but I am tired of this. And I am sure some people think I am being a child about this and that's fine. I don't care.
And I am sure some people will say, "Well, you don't post any art ever so of course no one is going to watch you". I have posted enough art for someone to at least get a $1 commission or a watch or two when I stream but alas, my paypal is dusty and my watch list on livestream is null.
That being said, as of the end of this journal I am done with the emotions of this page, done with giving a fuck, done with this account.
My new page will feature a similar name, same character, but without the BS. None of the issues from this page will carry to the new page. Think of it as a purging that has been in the planning for a while but was only set in motion by a hard hit.
If I owe you art ( I don't think I do other than the new characters) note me on my new page when I make it.
Sorry if I have offended anyone but I will no longer be on this account nor reply to anything on it.

"People don't pay me, so i'm quitting FA"
Which leads me to my second comment: Ever heard of writing with correct formatting/punctuation? You you claim to be a writer, but you have run on sentences with commas all over the place! Seriously, that's the most ironic thing I have heard today.
The main point was not commissions but how people spend their money. I've had a few people who watch me who have donated 100+ to someone who wanted money because someone wanted to buy a new fursuit, but then when people (not just myself) ask for commissions because they have bills to pay, medical problems, ect, not a fuck was given.
The actual main point is feeling unwanted. It's hard to work at a job when the pay is low and very few people appreciate what you do. I have gotten hate notes on this account for various reasons and it just feels like coworkers are attempting to make your job harder. If it's to the point where even raffles/free art gets no responses, then maybe it's time to move on from this account.
I have art, two jobs, and school to deal with it and I seem to have at least a few moments to do other things. :\ I can't say this applies for everyone, but if people have time to favorite 30 things in one day from different artists, a simple "Hi" or a "good luck" is hardly a chore.
And you speak of not having time to log on FA, and yet where are you right now? You have time to insult me and speak poorly of someone who is having serious emotional issues and is venting, but god forbid you just ignore it like you said about not caring.
Methinks you need to set your priorities in order.
Methinks, you should calm down. Make a new account, make some new friends, make some new art, do stuff that makes you feel good, do whatever you feel like doing. I can't stop you, and no one else can either, because WE ARE NOT YOU, and vice versa, YOU ARE NOT US.
I would rather have people commenting than being ignored because then at least someone read what I wrote.
Hey, here's a reality check for you, I am that kid. I am overweight and that kid that no one liked in high school and college because I am weird and fat.
That's why I depend on online friendships, which alas has failed me on this account thus new account, new life.
Indeed. I think you and a few other people are even the only ones that talk to me. ^^; b
Also, something I remember hearing from someone on YouTube by the name or Cory "Mr. Safety" Williams. Do what you enjoy regardless of money, and it'll come on it's own. He used to make videos just for fun, now he actually is able to make a living off his videos.
I could go on but my boss is staring at me =P
Godd luck with your new account =)
