((Copy-paste from my post to deviantart))
This has been bothering me for a while so I figured I'd mention something about it now. But I don't know how to structure this without sounding immensely whiny or entitled but I'll try.
I don't know exactly why it's happening but I feel all my drawings have gotten worse as time goes on. I'm not sure if it's because of deviantart's change in layout or people just don't care anymore but I don't seem to get any kind of response from when I post things. Same issue when I try to use Facebook/Instagram/Twitter too (FA being the only good one as I get a few comments here and there).
Of course I'm not saying I'm entitled to any kind of feedback, but that doesn't mean it doesn't still hurt when I spend hours on stuff that doesn't get seen. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I'm not sure. But I've noticed a steady decline in feedback over the years and I'm not really sure why.
I'm very aware it's very much a "me" problem and I don't expect people to do anything because I want them to and that's fine! However the constant feeling of people not caring about what I do is stinging me a bit and I feel I need some time away. Maybe after some time I'll come back and post stuff regardless of if people are engaged or not, I just need that spark back.
This doesn't mean I'll necessarily stop drawing, maybe I will still draw (I'll definitely finish those commissions on my list). However I wont POST anything since I feel it wont get seen regardless. You can still contact me if need be though.
I know I probably sound super whiny and bitter and I apologise for it. I just know how I get when I get upset so I figure this is for the best. At least if I don't post anything I know nobody is seeing it because I CHOSE to withhold my drawings, not because people don't care. Seems to comfort me a bit.
Anyway that's enough self-depreciation. Thank you for your time. And thank you to those few that DO still support me, especially my girl Sandra who always build me up the best she can ♥

That's alright, you respond when you have time, no rush.
And it's how it's, I've decided to give rather than receive.
Gives me a different kind of happyness.
And you're so very welcome, I meant every word for all the years and the future ahead.
I will be there to the best of my ability, through your ups and downs, I will give you all my support, love and care anytime ♥️♥️♥️

It's not you, hun. The whole world's going through a really rough time right now. People are depressed, stressed out, and scared. A lot of people just really do not have the emotional energy to appreciate art right now. It sucks, but that's where the world is at. And this is ESPECIALLY true in the US right now.
