Never do fanart for you hero's
4 years ago
welp, here we go.
so I'm not going to make this a big rant just a lesson I have learned about the furry fandom. Never do fanart for the artist or furry youtube you like or have interest in for when you do something for them you get nothing back. so far two people I have done work for I have not heard from or even gotten a simple like from them. like BetaEtaDelota, I did something for him posted here and on Twitter, Nothing no comment or like just ignored. I'm not expecting anything big really just a simple thank you or alike. so that hurt. did the same for some on DA with their Kaiju OC nothing. and I worked all day on her character fanart. nothing. really tell how I feel about the furry fandom now. I understand why some have left for other interests and feeling the same way. ((points to the Warhammer 40k door. leaving Karen and Judi behind when I head out.))
now when I do stuff for none furries. I get something from them and they show more appreciation for my work. one of them who is a big YouTuber followed me back on Twitter and she told me how she loved my work and had talent. that was very inspiring of her.
instead of getting upset, I'm going to do the right thing and move on. for now, when I do fan art it either for some franchise or someone who not in the furry fandom. the only furry fan art I'll do is for my closet friends.
but anyways that it. I just wanted to get that out on how I feel. I'm not stressed about this just annoyed but like I said it's best just to move on and work on more important things.
thanks for reading

That was a lesson I had to learn for myself honestly, it's hurts when it happens, but that's sadly just what normally happens.
I sometimes get art for free from other artists because they really like my OC design. And I also mean it in a surprising manner, like "Hey man, I like your OC" when I check my notes.
I'm always grateful to those artists, thanking them a ton and sharing their work (+ crediting them).
Just a simple acknowledgement can go a long way but some can't even be bothered to do that,
