No one cares just shut up. by artimator

Maybe I shouldn't be on dA or weasyl or tumblr or anywhere anymore or heck maybe I should
stop posting art all together because I don't think it's getting me anywhere anymore and nobody really seems to care

No one cares just shut up.

    .n. i really enjoy your art, i mean, i just started watching you not too long ago, but i really love how loose your stuff is.
    I've been feeling pretty similar all day today but I hope you keep going.

    As artists we're always trying to improve and when we can't see it ourselves it gets super frustrating. It kills me seeing everyone around me improve over 1 years time in leaps and bounds, but i'm just slowly snailcrawling on and on.
    Did you have big plans for your art? like, where did you want it to go?

      I want to keep going, I'll never ever want to get out of arting and shiznit connected to arting it's like a part of me.
      But what purpose does it have if nobody even...I don't know; Knows it's there and appreciates it.

      It kills me too.
      I don't know really. Animation and digital art isn't a big thing in this country, but I've already pinpointed a certain college I'm going to that's centered around all the different kinds of art.
      It's just costly. And I'm applying for a scholarship that I'm not even sure I'm going to get in the end, I'm not the sharpest knife in the class.
      I guess, at one point, I dreamed of animating for the big shots like Pixar, or Disney, or Dreamworks.
      Then I realized that was never going to be possible. I suck.
      So now I'm just..I really don't know. All I know is I'm certainly no good in other common courses like Accountancy or Architecture or Engineering--
      I hate that stuff.

        ahhhh i feel the same way xD i can't live without art, if i lost my hand i'd either die or learn to use my other one all over again.

        you said below that you're just coming out of highschool, you're already leaps ahead of where i was in highschool so i have faith that you can do amazing things.

        if animation is what you want to get into, why not start your own personal project with animations? it'll give you continuous practice and people are bound to notice you. personally i love it when other artists can animate cause mine are shoddy at best. eye blinking and super rough lines is as far as i've gone with animation myself.

        the biggest thing i can think is, don't give up on your dream, keep shooting high, but also don't wait for it to fall in your lap. keep doing your thing at full speed. even if big guys don't spot you immediately, there's a lot of people who still love animations.
        and even if it is really difficult to get motivated because a lack of views, i fully encourage you to truck on. your stuff will be seen, your followers will grow, and they'll help motivate you.

        ;u; i hope this helped at all, you really do have an amazing talent, and i'd love to watch you go places with it<3

    Chin up, I know you're having a rough time but a lot of people really enjoy your art and would miss you (myself included). If you ever wanna chat about anything, feel free to message me <3

    I love your art, and especially your style! I really look up to you. I've wanted to give up on my art several times because "I'm not good enough" and "I'm never gonna get better". But dude. We're 16. We have our whole lives ahead of us. We're going to improve, slowly but surely. We're going to do better. Maybe one day we'll both be super well known artists. Maybe not. But that's not gonna happen if you give up now.(: Keep tryin', doll. You'll get there.

      You have your whole life ahead of you. I'm going to be out of highschool next year and it's making me nervous as I've never gotten any practice with my animation for months.
      And that's the course I'm going for.

      And seeing as I try to take an hour of my time everyday to go on dA, draw, or post something and nobody even seems to notice
      makes me even more upset, like I'm wasting my time.
      I know I shouldn't feel that way but...Still.

        I'm graduating next year too, and one of my hopes is to become an animator after I join the Air Force for a few years. And you may not think anyone notices, but the do. Your style is so unique and cute, it'd be impossible to miss.

    I really like your art. =|

    Here is something I have come to realize about art, art block and prioritizing.

    When you go through art block, Its not your skill or ability to create diminishing, It is simply you becoming more critical about your own work. This can be a good thing as you easily recognize what works and what does not in art. But if you don't recognize it, being critical on your own work and yourself can wear down your confidence.

    I know school is a pain in the ass but it will be best if you bite the bullet. If you show proficiency at school, then any collages/art institutes will be more willing to accept you into there programs (that is if you are planing to go). Aside from school related work, At least create something every day. I does not matter is its a scribble, sketch, or a complete piece. Dedicated at least an hour or 30 minutes. You do not have to share these, they can be completely private. Don't be afraid to fail, in fact, create as manny mistakes as possible. This will create more chances of development as you recognize mistakes and make your next success even greater. This might be a little bit better if you work with a sketch book. I promise, you will improve.

    Im going through quite a bit (Allot) of this stuff too right now and im willing to discuss more about it if you wish.

    (p.s.) Project AVALON will be starting back up here again soon. This may serve as a good inspirational spring board for you.

      I see. Still makes anybody upset as heck though.

      Well I just came back after failing 4 consecutive tests, so blegh. I ran out of any sort of motivation to study anymore anyway.
      Especially when the teachers themselves don't give us a break.
      Yeah, I know what you're saying, I'm going to college in a year as I'm still part of the old curriculum. Right now I'm just trying to pass everything I can, not doing anything more than that nu-uh, but sometimes it just drains me, and whenever I come home and see all my acquaintances posting new art improving all the way it makes me even more upset with myself.

      Bless you man. Bless you.
      Sounds cool, I can't wait to know more about this project.

    ... I totally understand your feelings, and I debate the same question all the fucking time!!
    Its so frustrating, depressing, and mostly disappointing... I'm about 3 years into art school & I still rarely get notes or favorites from my art, even though I feel like I've improved so much recently!
