If you don't like it then move on. Unless you want to comment it. Otherwise, enjoy or just fuck off.
I realized when I was looking at my FA page; I realized that I haven't draw and posted much pictures as I used to. I haven't done much except for Christmas. I was thinking that I am losing my passion over art. It is mostly because of some egotistic asshole told me that my art wouldn't sell if it isn't in popular mainstream.
An example: If I don't draw anything that is related to something like Undertale than it wouldn't even sell."
It is something like I have to stop being original and just go with popularity because popularity sells. Which it is true, but in my thought. How did something like Undertale started to begin with? It didn't copy off anything to make it popular, unless there is something that I don't know about.
And then he said that artist who draws pictures from the soul are not going to make it in the art business because it didn't come with the mainstream popularity.
I am not going to lie to you. I don't even care about the "Painting from the soul." Bullshit. I paint and I draw from my interest. The things I had in mind and my imagination that I keep having through years and years and years ends up as an image in the piece of paper. And yeah most of these characters that you see is just pictures of some characters with different interest that came to be a symbol of my personal interest. But that is how I make characters, that is also how I make stories out of the characters. I gave them personality and interest from something that I still experience with, and I know that people out there would like them, hate them, compliment or criticize my artwork and my furry characters.
One thing that I just don't want to do is to draw something that is already been drawn down and gain popularity. I don't want to draw anything from Undertale I don't even care about the game, nor do I care about D.C. or Marvel because I don't read those comics nor watched their movies. It is not in my interest.
So why I am not drawing and posting it online as much as I used to? Mostly because I am all out of ideas and my interest has gone down hill because all in my mind is just this egotistic ex friend of mine saying "Draw something out of popularity to get money because painting out your soul isn't going to make business." And other verbal tactics about art that makes me not want to draw and post again but I am doing my best not to let that down. Because that is what I usually do best at, is mostly drawing and painting. That and I don't have a scanner and I should use my smartphone to post it, which I really hate to do the most because it just looks blur and cheesy.
Don't worry I am still drawing. Just not as much as I used to. I will still post them though.
