Been two rough day, morally..

Been hard to draw boobs last two days, as i was contemplating a possible end to my career. Worst is, i kinda want to draw, but i feel.. so empty

Yesterday was moody, easy to get angry.. most of time i'm ok, but sometime i'm just a HUSK of what was here before

Peoples keep saying i'm good at my job, but i know artist thousand time better, and more skilled, and it's hard accepting the compliment when you see only the flaws in what you do.
But it helps a bit, making me think that, if so many peoples like my work, maybe im not that much worthless.

I dunno if i'll see this page ban in the next couple of days..
i think my fear is actually just mix of paranoia and experience. Saw many friends being kicked by stuff that seemed ok, for no reason, that in my mind it's less about rules and more about "what the guy youre talking to want."
That's the result of the constent pressure. ban porn, ban this ban that! Always same argument "moral, childrens, security!"
It gnaw your sanity.

When i opened this page i never believed it would be a job one day, was just a side thing, to make enough money to support others artists.
I was so surprised peoples would follow.
My opinion always have been "if you want to see more of my drawing.. send me money. Not because of a paywall,but.. if you support my work, i can pay rent, the bills, eat properly. You literally make me work longer!
But it's not how the world work anymore. You support peoples because there's a paywall, because they ll draw for you, and if they die in the process, it's ok, there's thousands other artist, and now there's IA!

I'm verry lucky to have found the few bunch of fans that still wanna help me keep drawing further! You re all amazing!

So, for now i'm Still here

Tell me if you like those talks, it's a bit depressive maybe? But it help unload a bit
But if you rather have me shut the fuck up, i would understand and stop

Im glad you're voicing your thoughts. I, among many, absolutely love your art. Some get close or similar in some fashions but otherwise your art is distinct and different. Your early art is definitely much much different to your new stuff but it just meant you had space to grow. Who knows you might grow even a bit more to make it faster and still have that insane level of quality. I hope you never stop making the thing you love to make!

Well I promised myself to draw until i die Question these days is more, ll i draw until i'm old or just kill myself the days society tell me i can't anymore That's the question in my mind these days

Mr.Think Thonker

Well, it'll be a sad day when you stop drawing but I argue its up to you when you decide to stop. Have a back up plan incase it has to be stopped earlier than expected but always make it because YOU want to make it, there are some people who will be negative but in certain instances all it does it add more traction to that post since they gave it a view AND a comment

I hear you. Having anxiety issues myself, every time something changes on this site I have a day of pure panic. Doesn't help that my revenue has been slowly regressing since the post pandemic era started as the cost of living is rising at warp speed. I'm constantly wondering how I'm going to pay the rent next month. Now Payoneer is about to cancel my account because of a change in the Canadian laws and I'm just crossing fingers that PayPal won't follow suit. That said.... don't panic until it's done. You haven't been banned yet... and usually they will give you a little bit of time for course correcting (that's what they did with me a few years back anyway). Finally, about your art. I'd like to share with you a little bit of wisdom I stumbled into last night when I was looking at online courses about writing. It really resonated with me: Don't try to do what your favorite artist does. Don't try to live up to arbitrary standards that you might never reach. Instead, try to be the best YOU you can be.

Also, I never saw anything from you that crossed their standards. I think you're good.

Thanks you, weirdly it always help when someone else is panicking on the sit right next to you.. like "you're not crazy" if someone else feels it too. For artist it's les copying more.. You know when you have crazy talented artist friends, and someone tell you "Damn you render like a god" and your friend is Sabudenego, and .. well.. hard to ever feel "good" when you have this type of friends X)

For what it's worth I think you have a very cool and unique art style. I think you're damn good

Please, if talking like this helps you cope with the stress than by all means! There is no one making other people read it if they don't want to!
