I'm giving up on art

General
Pays too little and i'm getting tired of people telling me that other artists or the model they ripped from second life is better than what I try doing.
Well sorry if I suck. It wasn't me deciding to be a useless piece of crap. Now go pay 400$ to that artist you like and stop bothering me.
I need to switch focus to more important things and handling this kind of art is simply demoralizing me, that's the last thing I need right now. It was nice having the money to buy games or pizza every now and then, but fuck this, it aint worth it.

FA+

But I can say this, you shouldn't let these people who tell you that other models are better, get to you, after all you'll be constantly improving on your work, just because your modeling isn't "good enough" at this time, that doesn't mean it wont ever improve. Plus you are building your models from scratch, so naturally it wont look as "good" as those which were ripped from other sources, which were more then likely "professionally" made.
Although that being said, it's still good to take a break every so often, at least in my opinion, so you don't lose interest in it by "overworking" on it, at least, that's my guess.
I do hope this comment helps in some way, in any case, it's your decision, so, do what you think it's best.
To me your 3D models, characters and ideas were good to me :) and honestly have more merit, than a ripped model, besides, a ripped model, is always a riped, is not original like your own creation, I had seen art like that, and yeah, they are ripped models.
But they dont look the same like one made by yourself, they look really bad on closeups, the textures looks really pixelated, and they look pointy from being from a game.
While yours look more smooth, and the texture is way better, but what make your art more awesome, is a simple things.
"Is your model" is your work, your own hard work :) thats what make it fun, and enjoyable. Dont let that stupid coments put you like that :)
I really love your work, and what you do, but if you really want to leave, I won't stop you, but we will miss your art for sure
Sorry to hear you couldn't handle people complaining.
Good thing you quit though; if you couldn't handle that, you'd never last.
