You shouldn't, really. You've pretty much established yourself as a man of skill and talent, and there's no real need to tear yourself down man. Just sayin~

Uuu Daigo no your art is spectacular! So much almost tangible volume in your works, and that is very admirable. Plus, the filtering on weasyl is top notch compared to FA, so if they're not into that stuff, chances are they won't see it, so no worries all around!

I'm more desperate to try to find new audiences for people to read my writings. Its so hard to get any kind of attention when you're skills are literary instead of artistic in this community. that and peer pressure made me come here <_<

Mannn, it's natural to measure yourself against others, but rarely very productive. If you look at someone you admire and say "I would love to draw something like that," sure, that's inspiration. But if you say "I suck, I could never draw something that great," you're not just fooling yourself, you're making a self-fulfilling prophecy. So try not to! Easier said than done, I know ;p

That said, the progress you've made over just a few years (most clearly evident in that wonderful Shina folio you put out a while back) is seriously inspiring. I know you're not fishing for compliments, but just because your development has been mostly in the fields of understanding & exaggerating sexy anatomy doesn't make it illegitimate. Along with a few other folks, you've crafted an immensely eye-pleasing variety of body type illustration that simply didn't exist a decade ago. That's something to be proud of. The fact that you aren't satisfied to sit on that accomplishment is probably a big reason you continue to improve... just don't let that restlessness trip you up, is all I'm sayin'

One area I'd love to see you develop more is your backgrounds & sense of space. You've displayed a knack for creating interesting scenes in the past, particularly your macro works, but I would be thrilled to see you devote more attention to environments/surroundings. Characters are obviously the focus of your work, but having set pieces to compare their various endowments to can make them all the more impressive. Picture Shina squeezing onto 3+ barstools at a crowded lounge, onlookers physically unable to remove their gaze... or GFL lounging back against a mountainside, grinning at confused little snowboarders that find themselves in much deeper fluff than they counted on. This is not a self-serving suggestion at all, no

It's nice to see more artists and definitely happy to see artists that don't just do furry artwork. I'm actually glad Weasyl is open ot more kinds of artwork because it's refreshing to see so many different kinds of art. I also been enjoying the forums here. We have sketchbook threads and I opened a thread about allowing people to ask about my art book collection.

Listen. It's much like tehsean. Yea, you are great at drawing porn, and I love it. But you are also really good at drawing weighty lines, bodies, and you are a very good artist in general. If you want to push other interests in art, do it. If you don't, well, don't.

I'm here since a while sexy

Hey, I suck way more than you do at art xD Stop beating yourself up over it!

Your still one of my favorite artists for a reason, but I know improving is always an option no matter who were talking about. There is no such thing as a master, only a student. Especially when it comes to the creative stuff. Explore things besides fetish art then, try posting clean stuff once in a while and have a small sort of portfolio for your fellow artists to check out in case they are not comfortable with the naughty stuff (or your not comfortable starting with naughty stuff). Just a thought. I'm sure you'll just plow through the weird feelings like usual.

Wait... wait, wait, wait, wait... you do VAT?
Ok... I know we gotta be kinda autocritique related to our art and such, but being shy because you do big boobs and dicks? You know how many artists draw that? A lot... BUT... Do you know how many artists actually draw them GOOD ENOUGH to be pleasant to see? I see one in here... --stares at Daigo--

Don't be ashamed of your style or your art, here you have a good amount of people that enjoy what you do, and we are certainly willing to see more of you.

You is one excited dude. X3

Sounds like you need a few more sycophants to help remind you that you're great =D

You're a great artist! Just do what ya like to do and don't worry about pleasing everyone. I mean, they like what they see already. Tha's why people follow you =3 And if things end up being really big? Tha's just a bonus~ Have fun with your work an' post whatever ^^

If only you could see yourself through your fans' eyes! Your drawing is a superpower, Daigo. To us mere mortals who can't magically translate our thoughts into pictures at a whim, you're freaking AMAZING, and to all the other artists... well, they're probably just like you and you don't know it- huge fans of your work, and self-conscious of their own in comparison.

You and every other artist feels the same way. INADEQUACY JUST MAKES YOU WANNA DRAW BETTER RITE??!?!?

Don't let the feeling of unworthiness hit you too hard. I'm glad you take it as a sign to just keep upping your skills all the more, because you just keep knocking my socks off with how you improve over time and all! Still can't wait until a time comes along when I can commission you and all!

And yeah, may the site keep on surging with activity. It only gets better and better that way! :3

I'm not gonna say much but to tell you that you do amazing work. I'm not biased because I loved your work before I fell in love with the person behind the work. You know that I usually don't hesitate to point out things that I might find looking a little weird. It might not weigh too much since I'm not on your level of skill but I am sincere. I know you will continue to grow and get better. You just need to stop procrastinating and just do it. You know it's a good idea so stop letting yourself hold you back! I'll always be watching and cheering you on. My only fear is you being better at EVERYTHING than I haha!

Becoming active in a new place is a slow going process. It's probably worse if you were here before the influx/spur the moment move and everyone moving/hoping to move is more motivated than your might be (totally not speaking for myself, no sir).

Still, don't fret. People love your work. Its just like starting anew, though.

Use that annoying little voice as a source of strength! All artists think their work could be better but few are deeply bothered by it. The few who are want to attain great things but they can't...at least not yet. You just gotta keep listening to that voice and work on whatever it tells you to. Think about what makes you embarrassed about drawing giant boobs and dicks. Is it really the issue or something else? Challenge yourself and fulfil your ambitions!

Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.

Weasyl should be top of the pops.

It is an actual good site.

really??
Dude i would KILL to be able to draw like you (well not really kill xP but still)

Oh seriously man, your work is great and I study it for muscle anatomy and fluid dynamics! I learn from you. You've helped me improve my male anatomy skills and also not feel quite so alone in my character's... characteristics ;P

You sir inspire, i used to feel that way when i saw others art that was so much more awesome to me. But then i realised, deep down, after much mediation, reflection and booze! That really its just my core of being a better artists that brought out those thoughts. I was hesitant (and still am) when i find people better at what i do. Hell i turn that into my 'ok i know there better, do not flip out, just learn what you can and make their heads spin with what I can do!'

took a long time, and i am still adjusting to the mindset.

basically; Let that fear power you, use it to fuel the creative fire, and never hold back on where it will take you. It will make you stronger as soon as you stops beings afraids of it.

You rock man, really. I am no graphic artist, or a sketcher, hell i do not even ink or color. I do like to think (sometimes) that I have an eye for Glass-Blowing, and i can recognize someone driven with mountain-loads of potential. Your one of them!

were all crappy artists, but as long as we can make everyone else go gaga over what we do, lets just keep doing it until we are caught out! :3

also Moon sends hugs hug

DAIGO!!!! DON'T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF OR THE ME THAT BELIEVES IN YOU!!! BELIEVE IN THE YOU THAT BELIEVES IN YOU!!!! BECAUSE YOURS IS A PEN THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!!!!!!!!
