Two days ago page 1 of my comic, Avory's Expedition Beyond Earth, was starting to be sketched despite my friend asking me to reconsider my decisions. But after the initial sketch of the first page came back he convinced me to stop.
He didn't tell me directly why he wanted me to wait on the comic. He only said that I should draw it myself to make it more special than if another, more skilful, artist drew it. But it was what he told the artist who told me why he wanted me to stop: because he was worried that I would feel bad when I find out that I do not have a fan base.

I know that I do not have a fan base. I don't care that my artwork or my character isn't the star in anybodies eyes.
But I do want some attention...
Fan-base or not, I don't really have anyone I can talk to. Most of the time I feel alone and isolated, unneeded, unwanted, worthless.

That equipped with the amount of work I have been doing and all of the other pressures on me. I just don't know what to do any more. What's the point of me trying when no one will ever notice?
