Okay, I must ask....do you know what happened to the one little robot in transformers? D:


Also, as for your art work--I think people improve the most when they start to like their art work. Maybe you should try some realism/still life and take a break from your usual stuff? Sometimes, I think doing different things help as well.

I think I understand some of the things you're saying about comments and favs and all that stuff, but I think that is the way dA works. I know I don't leave a lot of comments, but I always feel dumb when I leave comments. ._.;

However, just because dA works in a funny manner, that shouldn't let you be discouraged. 8D
There is my long, delayed, not sure if it makes sense anymore, advice. 8D

You know. I actually haven't a clue what happened to him. No one knows apparently. xD

Yeah, maybe that's the thing. But it's weird. I'll like an image for a little while and then start to hate it once I start picking out major flaws. Though, the Joker picture of Rin was not in that category. I have yet to hate that image. xD Weird.

I'll try to switch off and see what works again. I was planning on doing fanart actually to see if I can do something along those lines for a bit. Could be interesting.

Probably. DeviantArt is pretty terrible. Most of the art communities are because they are more for fanart and just overly great artists. They don't care for lesser known artists that need help. It's sad.

I'm trying not to let it discourage me considering people I know praise my artwork. I was chosen to do artwork for a Band AND for a friend's book whenever he finishes it. Which is pretty awesome to be considered for something like that. It's something I've dreamed of. Being recognized. xD I feel special.
But yeeeah. Who knows.

Great, heh, now I feel bad.
I like your work.
And I have a Watch-for-Watch policy just because I got so sick and tired of just having 3 watchers and watching 3000.
I also have that kind of policy when it comes to favoriting/commenting. Well, kind of.
I mean- if I see something I like- you bet your ass I'll favorite it. But if another artist comments/favorites a piece of mine- it makes me feel more inclined to return the favor. But that's not to say I don't comment or fav just because I feel like it. I just rarely get the time.
If I had the time- believe me I would comment (with meaningful comments) on every single on of your pieces.

And wow, that actually really hurts.
Rin I like your work.
Far, far better then my own.
But I have more watchers and get more comments and favorites.
Which leads me to think I'm one of the crappy artists who get lots of attention that you were referring to.
And I really looked up to you.
You're a few years older then me, and, I dunno, I guess I just don't like when you downgrade yourself.

Every time you upload, since the day we met, I have seen you improve more and more and more each day! And that in itself inspires me to work harder and become a better artist then the one I was at my last upload.

Amarinth,
I hope you feel better.

o-o Omg Chimera. Jesus with the favourites.
Nonononono. I'm not targeting you at ALL with that post. There's one artist in general I was really pointing at that I watch. And of course just seeing others whenever I'm just checking out other galleries that are NOT friends and see that they have a shitload of favourites but they can't draw that well. And they are basically the same age as me.

D: And now I feel horrible because you favourited all that because of the fact that I was bellyaching of seeing that. Believe me. I would NEVER consider you a bad artist or one that gets lots of attention. Because you deserve the attention. I like your artwork and it helps me whenever I attempt dogs/wolves. Though... I still can't quite draw them to my ability. xD; I suck too much at that. Stupid paws.

But really. It's okay. I'm always downgrading myself because I can't see any improvements and any sense that I'll make it in the end with art for a job. It's just a lot of problems I have within myself.

But ugh.. I really, really, really feel bad right now. ._. You dun need to keep all those favourites you did. xD Srsly.

-hugs tightly- I'm sorry that I made you feel this way. It was not intended to be like so. It really wasn't. -sighs- I really hope that you feel a little better after reading this because dammit..I'll feel worse. Well, a lot more worse than how I feel now. Ugh. ;c I'ma change my journal so that none of my friends on here will think that. :c

it's okey.
I don't want you to feel bad though.

And I WANTED to favorite every single one I did.
But, Amarinth- do you know how freaking large your gallery is?!
D: anyhow-
Thank you for replying to my comment.
And thank you for liking my canines.
I hate doing paws- I suck major at them. They were the hardest for me to learn (and I'm still learning).
I like how you do cats. Especially your snow leopards- I can't do kitties.

You still can go back and remove them. xD Srsly.
Um..it's gigantic. And I had cleaned it just recently. ._. I need to clean out some more anyways.

Nu uh. You don't suck at drawing paws. >:C Have you looked at mine? lol.
Yeah.. kitties are a little easier for me but lately, I can only draw horses. x-x I'm a little pissed about it but I'll get back to drawing the cats.
And you're welcome. I always reply back to comments. c: Unless... it's not needed.
