Relax. Popularity take time & I highly suggest to talk in the forums of newgrounds with care.

Make elaborated comments and find friends that respect your work.

My sincere encouragements.

ZG.

thanks dude,i really needed this,you too take care,have a nice day :3

@KenjiTakahashi You're welcome. But read the rules of the forum before doing anything rash.

Like post with all CAPS is a big no no there.

oh,thanks for telling me

Sorry you feel that way, after some rummaging around a bit I could tell that you have some insane talent and well put details when it comes to drawing. If you're feeling underrated, don't worry. Give it some time and interact with people a bit and then you'll get a slow and steady traction in popularity. Hopefully you'll feel better about it and go back to doing art, until then, go easy on yourself.

Alright, I'm not gonna bullshit you.

When posting art online it's specific artstyles that get traction and engagement, that also stacks itself when it's NSFW aswell.

It won't matter what the quality of the art is if it doesn't follow a popular art style or something that's quirky. I mean think about it, when was the last time you saw a ridiculously popular online artist who paints strict realism or like draws paper sketches? Probably rarely if at all.

I've gone through the same phase and watched so many other people follow that and all I gotta say is that it's your mental state that is holding you down. It's all about appeal rather than quality when it comes to posting stuff online and that's the sad truth.

To conclude, your art is fairly good. I've used your drawn guides to learn lighting tricks to get where I am now and I wanna thank you for that. Please try not to fall into the same mood trap that most if not all artists have fallen into. And as hard as it is to not base your skill on popularity, just try not to think that. I know it sounds flimsy but that's all you can really do without sugar coating it.

Anyways, I hope this helped get you more entrenched in a realistic view rather than blind optimism. I wish you a productive time on your art journey!

Sincerely, me :)

dude,i had no idea i was helpful for lightning,i thought i was just doing whatever,this really helped,thanks man :,)

@KenjiTakahashi you are absolutely welcome, I like to throw some advice out, but I tend to be pragmatic and not everyone is really appreciative of that which i understand, but I'm glad you understand what I mean at least

Man, you don't deserve to feel like this :( It's is a shame your art isn't giving the love it deserves, you are very talented! I would recommend posting in different websites or putting more tags when you post I'm sorry if that doesn't help. I hope things get better for you

thank uuu :,0,i do have a twitter and instagram account tho,i'll just wait and try to post more often,thank you :,3,have a great day <3

Oi mate, I already told ya this a bit ago, but if you wanna, we can talk abt this stuff anytime ya like and I can try to help you out somehow. And if you need to, you can ask yur mom to send you to a therapist, and they'll DEFINITLY help ya out.

it's just,i don't know how to talk about it,like,i know what is going on but i don't know how to express it,thanks tho :,3
