I've never drawn vent art before. I always saw vent art as something people would do for some cathartic reasons but I couldn't really understand how people could find motivation for drawing when they were down and didn't really believe that it would actually make someone feel better. Another reason would be that I just don't think that anyone would care. But I have the constant feeling that no one ever cares about me anyway, so whatever.
Lately I've been getting myself to draw everyday. It's been pretty successful on that front. Today though, I felt like I was too down, on my art no less, to draw anything. I've been looking at the possibilities of doing commissions and that has been soul crushingly looking impossible for now. Big part of it being that my art is too simple for it and the content not amazing enough. Only way I could imagine doing commissions would be if I'd make furry porn commissions, but there are reasons that both makes it impossible to do it and makes me not want to do it. So I didn't feel like working on the usual stuff I draw everyday.
I decided to draw this though. Forcing me to draw while still avoiding the usual thing, vent art might become an excuse for me to draw something when I'm down.
I think I was right though, not sure I feel better...

No problem.
As for your art looking too simple, don't try and measure yourself against others. Perfection is not a goal. Try and improve your own, grown your style. Even if it is simple, it's yours and belongs to nobody else. Your art has a nice cartoon look to it - maybe you're better improving that instead of drawing realistically? A nice cellshade look is nothing to sneeze at.
I don't have a solid answer for you. But if I didn't like your work, I wouldn't be watching.
I hope you continue to feel better.
