The art community really knows how to make people feel inadequate. I've never won anything (except by default), or have been accepted on an ota where there are other offers. Is my art really that terrible? Be honest. Because I sure feel like it is now. My designs too, apparently. I spend SO MUCH TIME on this kind of thing! The art community is cruel to people. I used to never think my art was THAT horrid. I didn't have confidence issues. Even though my style was in fact much worse than it is now. Now that I've joined public art things, I can't escape the feeling that I'm not good enough. No one likes my art (except FireLion9, and she doesn't count and she knows why). No one. Not even me anymore. I detest the art community, but I can't leave it; I enjoy the characters too much. I don't even want to make my comics or ganes anymore. Because they wouldn't be good enough. Because my art is never enough. I can't impress anyone, and that's really crushing me now. I know I shouldn't care, but we all know we care anyway. I just can't anymore. I have nothing more to say.
Edit: Thanks for all the kind words, they mean a lot to me (:
