in a rut, no one wants my art.
10 years ago
I understand that it's much more difficult for a traditional artist to rise above even the worst of digital artists. Dont get me wrong, I adore the few of you whos kept me going. Its just, hardly anyone wants anything thats been done on paper..even if its dirt cheap. I'll probably just draw for myself from now on. Ill still be open for commissions on the rare occasion they show up, but I'll no longer be drawing anything to appease the audiance. Im tired of seeing shitty art go for so much when im right here. Im not great by far, but come on...5 or 10 dollars is nothing.
I like drawing my persona and Ill continue to do so.
Awesome words from Moonlightstrider
The problem here is, your average furry here doesn't appreciate the heart and dedication that gets put in to traditional artwork, they're mostly people who are more into "pretty wittle cowours" and they think digital art is easier to draw and receive quicker when it comes to commissions, also it's not just the art that they're paying for but rather for the service of the artist, it's like wearing a pair of Levi's to a cheap pair of jeans, Levi's cost more because of the label.

I sincerely appreciate the compliment, but never feel small. Let nothing staunch your creativity.
Just keep on going.
Thank you.
In other words, I cannot buy you a commission because I'm always low on money and at the same time I'm in the middle of moving to UK for studies.
I'd commission you as much as possible, because I love your art
But... What I can say from this... Is that people are like that. Only appreciate the best and never the effort. That is the sad thing about this bullshit fandom.
I say if you want to make extra for the commissions... You'll just have to work harder. If not... Wait. In due time you'll get popular in your art and people will ask you for commissons. Takes time. Either wait or try harder.
Hope this helps
