An apology
17 years ago
General
I was recently asked not to post so many pictures of myself. Whether or not self portrait was actually an art form was brought into the debate, but that is actually besides the point.
I wanted to apologize. The thing is, when I look at myself, I don't always see what I would like to, and when I post the pictures of myself on here, people make me feel good about myself.
My problem is, my art is something that I work hard on. And it really hurts when someone says it isn't very good, or they tell me a hundred things that need improvement. So I don't put it up, because I'm afraid of what people might say. I post it on deviantart, but only because I know it'll be ignored on there. People will just decide there are better things to look at and leave me alone. On here, people actually look at the art that's posted, and so I got scared.
However, I am going to start getting over that fear. And so, expect many more 3D art posts, as well as traditional art, and some photography that isn't of me.
I hope this brings peace among the furs who have viewed my page.
Love ya!

Thank you so much. The "long winded" speech is fine, because it does show that you care enough to write that much. ^_^ And I really appreciate it. I think they just thought I was trying to make my FA account into a myspace. But they don't understand that to take pictures of myself is the best form of expression for me. And no, it wasn't any kinda of administrator. It was just some guy who "didn't want the new submission page full of a pictures of someone he didn't care to look at".
Anyway, I really truly do appreciate this, and maybe I'll post more pics of myself sometime soon, but for now, just things I create, or things I modify. Because while it makes me more nervous to post that stuff, and people don't seem quite as excited about it, (:'(), I still work hard on it. The pictures of myself, I work real hard, and then have 8 seconds to get into the right pose, and don't like how I look with glasses, so I can't even tell when the picture is about to take XD
Again, Thank you!
