*sends you lots of hugs*

I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for right now, but can I offer some constructive criticism?

I admire the amount of work you put into your art work.

*hugs* Hang in there, my friend.

*hugs*

Hi, Mercury. I know we haven't spoke in a long while because of a lot of things that I was going through and made some rough decisions, but I completely relate to what you're going through. Especially when i tried branching out to other social media sites for attention to myself and my artworks. I felt frustrated as well, many many, many times. Then I thought, maybe it's not others that are problem. Sometimes we have to reflect on ourselves to see if we're doing right or not.

As you've said, your lack of being social is due to Autism. I can understand that it's really hard as I too am probably on the spectrum mixed with ADD. But like it's hard... really, really hard, especially since I'm shy irl and online. But part of getting feedback and interaction is going out there and interacting with others. Don't let the excuse of having autism keep you from being social. Lack of social skills can be an aspect of it, but it doesn't have to define you and how you should be.

What I'm doing more of nowadays is just going to people's works and leaving compliments and what I liked about their work. Artists thrive on feedback and most of the time they'll be really appreciative if you give it to them. Doing that, give you more chances for people to check out your work, maybe even leave comments. Heck, maybe even watch you or make you a friend of theirs. But it's not overnight nor does it equal instant success. It takes time, patience and the right moments.

One factor that I can suggest when it comes to posting is to post at a time where people are most likely to see your work. I don't really know what's the right time nowadays, but you can experiment posting at different times to see when your work is most likely to be seen.

I wish you lots of luck in the future and I hope this changes for you. I know that you have improved drastically over time and it's really not fair that you're not getting enough feedback on your works.

A lot of good advice in those words of wisdom.

I am no voodoo expert, but is it such a good idea to make an effort to earn the respect of others in a site where a person's worth is measured by how well they can draw dicks and give other people erections. I think you should respect and appreciate yourself more because only you can be there for yourself.

sorry buddy I am guilty of that
going long term without chatting and complementing you on your very hard work with your art.
your art is very good and I do love the piece you drew for me.

I can understand how you feel, I know what it's like to have autism, If you would like me to do a bit of fan-art of your character

Not a whole lot of people are acting like human beings. Too many clicks, not enough appreciation. Hence why I am not friendly most of the time, as there is not enough good people as far I see in this fandom.....or I should really say people today...

As someone also with Autism I know perfectly well what you're going through. I just want you to know you're not alone. I always appreciate your work even if I haven't been vocal about it. I'll admit my reasonings is because of life keeping me away. Regardless of that I'm still going to be around the corner, so if you ever want to talk to me I'm right here.

Things have been hard to deal with these last few years, but in the end your truest friends will be there for you. I'll always love you and your work, Mercury. You and me, we're like brothers. *hugs*

*hugs* I'm sorry this is happen to you, I know how you feel bout the fandom. Most people today are really busy but then yea, most people are here just to see art. I always say nice work on my fav artists. Hope it gets better for you.

I know I don't often say anything about your art (though that's true for a lot of people I watch, actually...), but trust me in that I do admire your artistic skills and love so many pieces you've done. I'm so sorry people aren't showing you the recognition you deserve...I hope it will happen eventually...but if not, then also hopefully at least your close friends will do so, or continue to. *hugs tightly*

I'm glad you have the courage to speak up for yourself and tell the truth about how you feel.
