[Really long ass message btw, just ignore it-]


I'm gonna be honest with y'all, I don't think I'm going to be the animator I want to be. I've been trying to get back on

animation for a while but every time I "try" to finish one, I end up giving up on it, you have no idea how many WIP's I've got stashed in my folder. I don't even know if I can uphold my YouTube channel since I'm not making any videos that people come for and hence I might lose everything after that. All I do is post art and I don't know if that's a good thing to be known for in YouTube y'know? I'm afraid my time is about to end but who knows, I can't really stop drawing because it is the only thing I know what to do. The scary part is that the patrons on Patreon stop donating money to me, that's the scary part and if it does come to that then I might just stop drawing for good.


I'm sorry I'm such a downer by the way, I really do appreciate the support. It's just every insult that comes my way breaks me easily like a nuke in my feelings because I am sensitive as much as I hate to admit it. Thank you guys really, I wouldn't have made it this far if it weren't for you guys.


I guess I'm just used to the fact that I will fail because it has been my nature for my whole life. I never really achieved something "amazing". Sure I got this career but all I really am doing is drawing and that's what everyone else sees in this career, just a drawing job. Very unstable lifestyle I agree but it's all I know and I can't even begin to imagine getting a job, I might get fired faster than any speedrun category lol.


So, what should you take from this extremely long message I made? I don't know if I'm being honest haha. I guess it's the fact that things might end if it doesn't go well for me. And to those people who have told me to try and get a break, I have been trying but I literally could not stop thinking about drawing. But yeah I guess you should take away the fact that I might not be the animator you hoped to be, just probably dump videos here and there but I don't see going too far anymore. I'll still draw of course if it still funds me but right now I feel like the end is very, very near.


That's all I guess, sorry for the long message.

I totally understand your feelings. I am not an artist at all and can't give advice on this, all I can do is just wish you all the luck and that you will make it big, whether in art or something else

CoolNEpic12

We understand

Stepper

you can always try learning new things. do them or do them scared, as long as you do it!!

MaderaSeca

We understand and you don't have to worry, take a long break if you need it, we will be waiting for your return with open arms <3

Once my next contact starts i'll support on Patreon again >_<. Don't sweat the hate so much though: kinky art always has this "niche" where it'll never be totally accepted or approved of... but that doesn't mean people aren't watching

From experience, i know how much it sucks, man. Dunno if it helps to share, but i have been trying to be a proper artist for almost 2 decades at this point with not enough results, having to work on minimum wage and pray something works. Its stressful, is unfair, is pure bullshit... but i keep trying cuz that's what i want to do, even if it takes a long time. It still my dream and it may as well end as just a dream, but heck, im not giving up, and i dont think you should, because your stuff is very very good! But hey, giving a long text after receiving a long text! From oen artist to another, do what you need to do my dude! I wont say the classic motivational stuff. Just do what feel good for you! we'll be here for whatever your decisions are!

I mean I don't have much to suggest however this might be of help. You could show your work as you go along and talk over the video describing what's on your mind while drawing, or giving tips on how to draw, or fun trivia that many others don't know. PlagueOfGripes (YouTube) is an artist first and cartoonist second. I suggest you take notes from his format and use it to start out that way.

About those people who are just throwin' insults: They're just jealous that they cannot draw that well, but instead of practicing temselves, they feel like goodartists like you are a threat to 'em.

As for the animation thing, I've absolutely been there. What I recromend tough is that you could turn the animations into VA'ed Comics with like, light animation here or there if you're feeling up to it.

In any case though, we'll always be here to support you, no matter what!

ParrotGameDev

Don't worry, fella! I gotchu, I still enjoy your art and animations, and I always will (or at least try to)
