Uhh... basically rant/vent art?
Feel free to completely ignore this. I just feel like expressing myself.
~~~
Sometimes I feel so small and insignificant. I feel so uncool and lame. It's easy to see the beauty in others and what they do; to be jealous of how amazing and open they can be. It's so very, very easy to see the gems of another's soul and to compare them to your own and see what you are lacking.
Some people are as beautiful and open as the sun, their whole life and every creation colorful.
Others can be so down to earth and chill, and everything they do refreshing and inspiring.
Then there are those who are like fire; they burn bright and are outrageous. They are quick to scar but are amazingly passionate.
And then there is yourself. Which feels so small and plain. Simple. What is there to attract people there? Pretty much nothing, it seems.
So then you must rely on the kind comments of others to keep you afloat. Sometimes, though, sometimes those kind words make you believe. For a moment you feel as though you are as amazing as those you admire in secret. For a moment. Until something happens, and you are reminded, once again, that you will never measure up to them.
~~
Sometimes I wonder why I draw. :c
It's so easy to be jealous of what others can do. And it's so easy to feel discouraged.
I don't know what it's like to draw just for myself anymore. Art sites have ruined it, and now every creation I make is so I can gain the approval of others. I strive to be the best I can, not so that I can feel good about myself, but so I can feel worthy.
It's very tiring.
I wish I didn't care what others thought so much.

Ah man, do I know that feeling. I'm going to assume you're like water then? Water is the coolest, personally. It's reflective, has so much character, and has so many states that all the others have a hard time keeping up. Chill like an ice cube, airy like steam, or as raging as a hurricane. There's so much potential there, it can be hard to keep track it sometimes.
I guess what I'm saying is, even if you're feeling down and out, like you're insignificant, you just have to persevere. Because even if people don't notice you now, they sure as hell are going to notice what you become.

Ah, actually, whenever I did those, like, element quizzes, I always got wind. ;w;
I used blue for this because it was the color that least stood out against the blue-ish greys for shading.
Awww... ;u; But that's definitely very sweet and your words, alone, are very inspiring.
Thank you. <3

WELL WIND IF PRETTY KEEN TOO. FOR VARIOUS REASONS AS LISTED ABOVE./cheap cover
No problem, haha! It's hard, not gonna lie, but whenever my stuff gets ignored or I don't feel like I'm noticed, I just think of it as motivation for the next time. Like how dare you not notice me. Oh that's it, my next picture is going to be so good, you'll have to love me. It's strangely vindictive, but it makes me work harder each time. . w.;;;

-laughs!- XDD!
Awww, normally I'm like this, too. Or, well, I imagine I will never give up and will just work harder the next time to earn it.
But it's always an uphill battle. You may reach one goal, but there is always another beyond that. ;w;
Sometimes it's hard to remember why caring about the responses of other people matters... though, at the same time, it's even harder to not care about them at all. :c
I think I've just worn myself out a bit. ;w;

That makes two of us. I just spent the entire day coloring, now I don't want to even touch my tablet. It's weird just how many ways finishing a big piece can leave you drained. .n.
Of course peoples responses matter! Vindication for hard work is a major part of the art process. It's what propels people forward and makes them think "Yes, all this effort was worth it". Having it as a goal is an important thing for anyone, I think. Whoever says differently is either lying or not too serious about their artwork (In which case, I am both jealous and saddened.) Though, that's probably what makes it so disheartening to see other people who have more success at getting the praise and adulation for their work. :I Emotional rollercoasters all about.

Yeah. ;3;
I've been pretty stressed out recently, too, so... I think it's all just been building up together. -3-;
Well, yes, that's very true. And I think having people to compete with and show your art to helps you expand, but... at the same time, I've seen people who just draw and draw and draw, and they may show people, but it's like they don't really care about the responses. Like they're drawing just because it's fun and its to get their ideas down. ;w;
I am partly very jealous of this.

Aw. ;A; -hugs- Wind is cool! It can blow out fire and smack around earth/dirt/leaf/rock whatever you wanna call that element that isn't really.
That, and people associated with wind are generally peaceful. You're definitely peaceful.... and friendly and sweet. ;u;
So please feel less bummed soon? ;u; -hugs forever and ever-

I appreciate it. ;w;
But, I think... 'friendly and sweet' is not always what I want to be. Or, at least, it's not all I want to be.
I guess I just wish I was more fiery or colorful. Or... something. I don't know anymore.
I'm just tired with myself but also tired of trying. ;w; -sigh-

You are more than those things. ;u; You've been colorful before, so I know it's in you. And fiery... well, you've got those moments too.
So what if you aren't 120% outgoing? You're you. -smiles- That's all that matters.
What you want to be comes with trying, but I think you're too tired because you stress yourself out over trying.
Just chill a bit, okay? It'll get better. <3

i know exactly were your coming from with this
personalty im a bit jealous of your skill my self but i keep moving ford with my art and try to become a bit more outgoing in my personal life i still have my shy moments but there no were near as bad as i was years ago and i find it a bit easier to conves with people now
you have skill and don't let your self forget it

this is point of view...You see this in others and others see this in you, an artist is their own biggest critic, and i don't think i can compete with the beautiful things some of the people have said here, so i simply wont try, Instead, I say this: Sometimes the simple things hold the most beauty, You can have really detailed work, and then the detail is lost over time. Simple, clean things that please the eye...I'd say that the flower is just beginning to bloom in her hand there; and each petal is forever a bud.
It's very hard to find someone who doesn't share the same feelings. :C
Our brains make is psychologically inclined to look your outward approval, we've all had that basic need since we were born. You make your views on yourself by how others view you, so of course you want people to say good things, because you want to be a good person. That makes it hard to not care what people think, because its such a basic need in our mind.
I, for one, find your art quite unique and full of life, so to speak. You're also very nice and I enjoy talking to you. :3 You're one of the artists where it makes me really happy to see something of yours in my messages.
You are hard upon yourself at the moment, its natural. But encouraging words are the best thing. <3

It's human to care about what others think of you. We can't necessarily gauge our own strengths and weaknesses, so we rely on others to do it for us. They get front-row tickets to your life. All you can do is have fun and put on a good show, because you'll never get a chance to see it from their perspective. Have faith that it's at least a million times more beautiful than you could ever imagine.
And if you should ever feel intimidated by others, remember that everyone starts out exactly the same. No one is inherently gifted. If someone seems so amazing to you, it's probably because they chose to work so hard in spite of all they've overcome. There's absolutely no reason you can't do the same. Choose to be inspired, not intimidated.
And probably that most important part of my mini motivational rant: never, ever take life so seriously. One day you'll wake up and realize you could've enjoyed it. <3

as the old story goes " we all have gems on our backs. you can see all the beauty shining from others gems but the gem on your own back you cant see. you only ever catch glimpses of it every once and a while" i fined this to be very true. i pure my hart into an art peace and i become so proud of it till i see art don by others and i become disheartening again. i fined my self wishing i could see my art though others eyes so i could see it for what it is and not the harsh criticizing eyes i see it with.
on a side note this pic is really well don ! it catcher the seen and story so well ! and if it helps any i love your art!

I can really feel and relate to what your saying, but in the end I draw because I enjoy it. I enjoy giving people art, and seeing them light up. I enjoy being able to express myself. Just sometimes I need those helping comments, those kind words, even just a fav or two to keep that ball rolling -so to speak.
I actually don't know you at all and found this by random, but...I just wanted to say that I can relate.
In the online world of art sites, it's easy to get swept up in a sense of...competition, I guess? And it's also really, really esay to feel inferior. :C And yeah, it's easy to get jealous of others, or depressed when you see something in them that you think you lack.
...Okay, that was rambly and not about the actual art. XD; Sorry. I like the piece; it tells a story without any words or explanation needed (though I liked being able to read your description of it).
<sub>Also wind is totally the best element. >:C</sub>

Aww, thank you. ; u;
It's always great when art can have a powerful enough message to attract random people and make them feel compelled to comment.
It is very easy to get swept away and to feel overwhelmed and forever unnoticeable. @A@ Sometimes it's very hard to remember to do things simply for yourself and your own joy and to be happy with what you've got and all that jazz.
