More from Foxena
What is this mentality...I dont.... even.
I try sometimes with several people and its not always on art. But various things. Only to have my attempts at making someone feel welcome spurned. And then these people wonder why no-one really wants to associate with them.

I have to say that in a small way, I identify with the "crazy person" in this case. Not because I directly spurn popular people, but instead because I'm bad at keeping contacts going and don't push myself into contacting or critiquing artwork, don't talk much to others, and then get surprised at how little attention I get.
Though then again, I do feel a bit of envy that artists get more popularity than writers, and I am not an artist... but then, I also haven't written anything new in a very long time, and haven't done much to spread my works around. But when you suffer from depression and other issues, it can become an issue to motivate yourself to do much of anything.
Regardless, you get from the fandom what you put into it, and I really do need to put more of myself into it. If anything, this little comic is inspiring me more than anything. I Don't Want To Be That Guy, basically.

I"ve seen this quite clearly myself early on .. and decided it best to just let things take thier course and not worry about it .. heh, my type of work isn't really that popular overall to begin with, but its the best course I can think of to achieve full animation and I'm not doing too bad for just getting started.
I can too identify a bit with the crazy too, and sometimes my pessimistic attitude had stuck back at me a few times. But at the same time I am making real life fur friends and even though this is yet to result in meeting a girl. Still it is nice to feel wanted and appreciated by what friends you do make.
I think they just want to gain friends and/or be popular without even trying. As if somehow their life and the misery they've experienced entitles them to being loved and appreciated.
It's sad, really. They could probably use a good friend. But so long as it doesn't happen on their terms, they'll never accept it.

Yeah I get where he's coming from feeling down and wishing to be "furry famous" but the whole "go to hell/don't need your pity" thing is crazy! How is that not getting attention and making your way up? I mean if a "pop fur" or whatever watched me I'd be like "ajchldjsswqukllobhseibaawokvllvlngobssomg" or something like that XD
But I dunno, thats my random 2 cents.

Actually I think you started watching me on DA after I commented on some of your art, I was rather happy to have someone with your skill keeping an eye on some of my work. I think the mentality is that of a victim and underdog. They WANT to feel unwanted and depressed so they look at any sign of kindness as pity or mocking...kinda sad really.
By the way, love your comics thus far

Emm, I'm not popular and you don't see me complaining about it... (although the thought does pop up from time to time and whether I'm doing something wrong about earning it) popularity comes with time, passion, development of skills and people love; lol If that makes sense.
I probably would have done the same thing Foxena, a slap to the head...

So, like, I love the hell outta your style, and now that I know your FA, I can ask when you're not swamped: would you perhaps be interested in an art trade?
This is a beautiful portrayal of the attention whore types I've seen in the fandom, too. Glorious~!
I've had people call me a popufur, which is silly.

I really REALLY appreciate your interest in asking and Im flattered. I do not however engage in art trades for personal reasons. And the fact i have so much stuff going on I never have the time apologies for that!
Also i may get a hoard of people on my ass for this but when i first heard the term "popufur" i was like ".....thats a word now? oh my god"

As an unpopular artist/person I can assure you, we are not all so bad. Some of us really don't care. I doodle and mess around just for fun. I rarely finish a project because It's just a hobby for me. By the time I come back around to working on something again I usually want to start all over on it so I move to a new doodle. Works for me, I'm happy with what I do and don't care if anybody else likes it.
