More from thatgreenmonster
little hazard is finally expressing her frustration.
i've been having to tell myself this the past few days. This doodle kinda portrays my life long struggle. I've never been popular in life, and my art was the only thing that brought me company in elementary school. The only real skill i hold dear and near to me.
The only real thing my parents taught me when I was young.
I can express my emotions freely and positively by creating something from that emotion.
I don't care if i'm popular in the community or not, as long as my quality in my art is better than my quantity, something i'll never stop perfecting.

Popularity in the fandom seems to be random.
I get swamped by furs a lot even though I rarely post things on FA.. I guess I just managed to make friends with someone popular and the word spread like wildfire.
Popularity sucks since it is difficult for me to have enough time in the day to chat with the ones who are friends.

My friendships in school often began from someone peering over my shoulder as I drew. It was my saviour as well, but the few that I did meet in this way turned out to be just shy but curious. Some of my friends were actually very very sincere people, and weren't the typical 'users' that I encountered in middle school that just wanted me to draw them things, and If I refused, or couldn't do it, I was no longer of interest to them.
I see alot of 'popufurs' on here, and for a while, I had an underlying lust to be widely known like they were. I strived to better myself and my art so I could gain more watchers, faves, people to talk to...attention to soak up..and people to talk to and enjoy. But...after a while through a series of me being all boohoo about my low fan count, I sat back and realized I have a greater gift than popularity. I do have a few 'regulars' and several people that leave feedback or fave submissions on a regular basis. I enjoy my small handful of fans, who I can also call friends.
Sure, I still kinda wish I had more of a fanbase, but it's not as big of a bother as it used to be to me. I am proud of myself for getting better at my art, regardless of if the public has noticed my improvements or not.
I have to tell myself this sometimes too...I think we all do. But we have to keep in mind that sometimes, it's not about popularity. <3
Keep your chin up,girl. <3

I completely agree with MamaGlider here. My FA has become less of an art focus and more of a furry Facebook. Sure, I still post art once in a while, but it's few and far between. And for good reason! I take a long time, even on the smallest of pieces, and have come to appreciate myself more when I stopped thinking about the supply and demand factor of FA. I don't even have 500 watchers, yet the few that post all the time I've become close with.

MamaGlider could not have phrased that sentence any better. If I could give her a medal or ribbon for that, I totally would.
That should be the true goal here on FA. It's not about how many pageviews you have, how many users watch you, or how many favs/comments you get on your artwork. It's about the people you meet here who appreciate every piece of artwork and not only this, but genuinely care about you as a person, not just some popular figure in the fandom.
The real reason we're here is to strive to improve our skills, and sure, comments and critique help that ego boost we all need once in a while, but to me, my close friends who watch my gallery and actually check in on me every now and then are the most important people to me. I wouldn't trade them for the hundreds of people who watch my gallery just wanting to see another pretty picture and hope I offer free stuff to them.
