why am I ignored...rant.
11 years ago
I am just...ok, it is so FRUSTRATING when no one gives a shit about your art. I have been trying to sell my YCH preposes and regular commissions for almost 2 months, and what happens?
Nothing.
Nobody even cares.
If I say I need the money really badly (which I actually do! I owe someone money and I have 10 days left to pay her).
If I could just sell my preposes and maybe, just mAYBE one regular commission, it would help me loads.
But no, every time I upload a YCH reminder or post on a facebook furry group (I am in three groups, and I post on all three), I am utterly and completely ignored. No one cares to comment, or even like my stuff. I do not get any notes regarding commissions, and no one buys my art.
Is my art really that ugly? Is it really so horrible that it is nearly undesirable?
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???
I don't think my art is ugly I worked for YEARS to improve and get to where I am now. I even took some years of art classes, and went to an art school for several months.
yet, I see all these other artists that are in the same skill level as I am, or even in a lower skill level, getting all this attention and commissions and praise for their art they just come in HORDES.
My commissions prices are what I thought my art was worth and it isn't even crazy expensive like I have seen other artists do!!!
And here I am, sitting with no one even batting an eyelash. I get favorites, but very few. I never get comments on my art either.
I don't understand why! Is it so bad that I feel like I should get just a little more attention?
Heck, I only expect at least 3 commissions per month but even that would be good enough for me, and most months I get nothing at all. I am willing to WORK for others to earn money myself while I seek out a job.
I do not beg for money or free art, I do not pester other artists, and I do not ever make drama.
I am relatively peaceful and I don't see how that would drive people away...
I cannot stream because my old computer cannot handle streaming and would only be super slow or just crash completely.
I have a laptop but I cannot make digital art with it because my tablet does not work on it.
otherwise I would be offering freebies on occasion.
I am just really angry that no one seems to care at all about my art, let alone commission me when I am in great need of extra cash. I usually would not do vent shit like this unless I am just going to explode...which I am. I am just so frustrated and disappointed and makes me just give up my art sometimes. Sorry if this is too much, but I just needed to vent about it and bring it to light.

Your art is great and I love seeing it from you. I don't usually favorite a lot of works, I don't really know why...

I hope that flash video helps. Its annoying as all hell, but things can take years.
I do apologize if my negativity was a bother, though.
While each person is different and perceives things different and has different standards, I think you're fine. Don't give up, keep trying and do you're best, even if at the end of the day you're not where you wanted to be, know that you've at least gotten farther than you were yesterday.
