That feeling of being left out of the fun
It's the worst feeling one can feel. Being left out, while everyone else are having fun, and all you can do is stare at them enjoying the fun that you can't enjoy.
I feel like being left out of the fun because of religious restrictions and cultural taboos prevented me from participating it. Actually, yes, I still can; however, it's dangerous, considering that my religion marks just about anything that is considered fairly normal in the West as taboo or sinful.
I also feel like being rejected by certain friends because they declared that they'll only chat with their circle of close friends. Apparently, to them, I'm just a mere "outsider" friend. It's not that easy being able to befriend some of the most awesome artists in DA and FA, because many are so clouded by their online popularity that they just pick and choose who gets to be their "close friend" -- often fellow popular artists like them -- while ignoring the rest.
I'm sorry for making this as my first picture of the year 2013. x_x Regardless, I've been meaning to draw something like this for sometime. Also, instead of my usual vector-based Flash art, I drew this entirely within PhotoShop. Do you think I should've used Paint Tool Sai instead? It's also the first time in 1-2 years since the last time I plugged my old Wacom Sapphire tablet to my computer.

I know that left out feeling, but i've made it a point in my life to try to get to know people. The first step is up to you, offer a hand and a voice. If people won't have you a friend then there are sometimes nothing you can do.
And sometimes these popular artists and sometimes, they just have TOO many people wanting to be their friends, on that specific issue. Sadly as humans we can only carry on so many conversations at once. A few of em I know keep themselves isolated for a good reason, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do what they do so well.
But as long as you try to make friends with poeple, you'll make more period. People just want that effort, and if they don't care for you, well fuck em.

I've been trying to be nice with people, too. To me, you can never have too many friends. Although, it is true that we can only have conversations with so much people at once. It's not that easy, being able to get to where I am right now, to be a respectful artist. After all, I draw because I like to draw, and I want everyone to enjoy my art. I'm happy when people like my art.
Well... I understand that nobody likes being let out of a party. Sometimes I think it's up to them to decide who to invite. For me is indifferent, I only go to parties only if I'm invited, but what it really hurts me, about parties, is sometimes when I invite my friends to go to my party and they just don't come. That's what it really hurts me sometimes.
Oh well... I understand that they might not be able to come sometimes, but they could tell me if they can come or not when I invite them for me to know if they can come or not.
PS:. Is that Bagi? If doesn't she looks like the pink cat I love. Great job! Oh... and it's up to you to decide how to make your artworks, they are always awesome and cute. Seeya!

Yeah, Nobody likes to be left out of the party. Well, it's not just a party. It's also the issue of being accepted. It hurts me a lot when I found out that one particular person I chatted with blocked me on MSN... He later revealed to me that, nowadays, he reserved his MSN account only among his close friends. Which, to me, implied that I'm not that qualified enough to be his friend...
No, that is not Bagi! XDDD None of the furries in this pic (besides that green critter) are meant to represent anyone specific whatsoever, and the resemblance is coincidental. (I just like pink kitties.) Thanks, though.

I feel like this all the time from hearing my friends getting excited to go to a convention, buying a spot for themselves in a group picture, buying pics for others. I feel like I'm left out because I have no money, no job, no car, no talent. I feel like I'm ignored because of all of that.
I've never even been to such conventions. Mostly because there is no such thing as a furry convention in Malaysia, obviously due to various religious and cultural reasons. And the cost for travel by plane is not so cheap.
It's not that easy to be respected for our talents. I know that I'm not the best artist around, but I keep trying, anyway. Why? Because I love to draw, and I draw because it entertains me. I do not draw for the sake of attention.

Everybody will find a reason to say why they feel the same.
And the solution is just looking at yourself and think "what am I doing wrong?".
Am pretty much left out from awesome artists just because i'm not awesome nor epic nor I draw nice and for worst, i dont go "eating everybody around" like my art could suggest, and people doesn't like nice people that loves cute stuff.
About your "being left out", you gotta think well if is just a religion/belief who kinda scares others from having a meaningful conversation.
I know what I talk about because it happened to me too and I had to debug it for months.

I understand. For the religious part, I think it's because I fear that I'll be punished if I'm being found out. To do what is considered taboo in my country is my way of having a semblance of freedom, and so I can better relate to my foreign friends, whose countries considered it as a fairly "normal" thing to do. I admit that I've become a little more rebellious ever since my country bans Valentine's Day for Muslims a few years back. And my parents actually agree with that new ban. >_<
It's great to see a new pic from you, even if it was done on your older machine. Atleast you still had it though!
Some people just suck. It seems too many people don't know what a friend is, or how to be a friend. But hey, you can always turn your back on them too. There's alot of people out there, so don't fret the jerks.
You should embrace that emerging "rebellious" side! There's probably alot of people around there who feel the same. But then again, I'm not familiar with the social/cultural environment there.
Either way, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thanks. =) Well, the computer I'm using right now is around 2-3 years old. Does that count as old? ^_^;; (Though, I believe the time is slowly approaching to buy a new computer in another 1 year or so.) I'm still surprised that my old Wacom Sapphire tablet is still working, even after all these years. I had issues while trying to install the required drivers into my 64-bit edition of Windows 7 but I got that worked out, after I've also disabled its tablet PC functions which I don't need.
A friend who rejects friends is not a true friend.
And, Happy New Year to you, too. ^_^

I guess I'm a very envious person, then. x_x
My faith taught me how to be thankful with what I have, and make the best of it as much as I can. According to Islam, every luxury in this world is temporary -- once you die, your possessions in this world, everything, they are no longer yours.

Sums up every girl for me. No girl likes me in RL, only like, four. I'm considered a nerd at my school and everyone calls me an otaku freak and video game nerd, most dislike me pretty much, but to my friends im the nicest, most caring person they know.
*I'll happily talk anytime im on, you seem nice.*
