Hey, I'm back, sorry for not posting anything I've been really focused on my digital sculpting class. It turns out I'm pretty good at it. I can't show any of that as it's all stuff for my work portfolio but I'm sure I'll try sculpting some furry stuff at some point.
Been working on this in my free time for a while now but I haven't been happy with how it's been going... I'm not happy with how slow my art has been improving recently. I feel like i'm at a point where I need to really focus on picking something to practice rather that just drawing with out any focus or purpose and accidentally learning things along the way.
I'm going to be taking a break to focus on doing more studies and practice rather than wasting my time working on longer drawings that aren't going to be as good as I want them to be anyways. I don't know what that will mean for my posting on here, It might mean I'll post a lot of sketches or I might just disappear again...
To those that want to tell me otherwise that I should think better of my art, this fetish just has low standards. My art isn't as good as you think it is. I want to be able to get to the level of an actual professional concept artist. Meanwhile my art is mediocre even by the standers of my shitty art school. I don't want to just be good for a fetish artist.

I'm very sorry you feel that way... I wish I could say something to help you or motivate you. For all it's worth, on the technical sense, your first panel in this sequence has a very realistic vibe: you really nailed the artificial illumination, something that is not easily done, and the low-angle perspective emphasizes the dramatic vibe. It does feel like a scene from a sci-fi movie.
And of course, the sequence is very well developed. Every scene is well spaced weight-wise and even with the barest amount of dialogue and visual cues, it is completely possible to interpret what the character's thinking.
Credit where credit's due, I think you have improved ever since you joined FA, and you have perfected your techniques and honed your skills a lot. Sure, we all wish we could become better within a couple of days of trying, but sadly that's not how practice works. I sincerely hope you come to terms with your art during this break and if you even need someone to talk to, my message inbox is always open.

I know I have improved a lot in the past five years but I graduating in a few days and now I just can't help but feel I haven't improve enough I haven't learned enough. That I'm not ready...
I'm starting graduate school next fall and If I don't have some type of large improvement in my art this summer then I have to pick something else to focus on like digital sculpting or rigging and 3d animation. Not because they wouldn't let me focus on concept art but because there is no way I will be good enough to get a job in the industry in just 2 years.

Good to hear that your classes are going well and you're doing good in digital sculpting. Hope you can share that with us at some point as well. As for the character, yes I like it, I like how the exo-loader appears to get modified as she puts on more and more weight. Not enough fat furries using technology to be perfectly honest. As for the rest... well if that's your choice then fine. It's not like its true that we have horribly low standards but at the same time, who says you have to settle for our standards for a fat character or a furry character in general? Especially if yours are higher.
I know it might make me sound like an asshole but no it is true that fetish art has lower standers than nofetish art. It's true in all cases most of all in more niche subjects like with fat furs. Everyone is willing to over look technical short comings if they think something is hot me included. But even a bad professional concept artist its way better than your average fetish artist. I don't plan on stopping drawing stuff for FA anytime soon but I want to get to the level of a professional concept artist that could actually get work in the industry.
Trust me I would like nothing more than to be that reason, but I'm definitely not. The whole reason I was talking about this is because I'm not happy with where my art is and every time I voice my dissatisfaction people just tell me my stuff is great and that I shouldn't be so hard on myself.
