I& #39;m going to make a thread right here detailing what my daily experience being an artist on here is like and the kind of shit I put up with. So, if you& #39;re interested to hear all this shit, here you go.
Everyone wants your attention.
Everyone expects your attention.
If you don& #39;t respond in time? Youre one of "those" artists who ignore their fans, and you receive a violent reaction from the people you don& #39;t respond on time to.

You want to draw something? Well, is it gonna make you lose numbers?
Will people like it?
Will you get harassed for drawing it because people on here don& #39;t know how to ignore shit they dislike?
Who fucking knows, now all the motivation to draw is gone out of fear.

Now, added on, you still have to draw things. If you don& #39;t, people will come into your dms and complain about your lack of content.
Speaking of people and dms, why don& #39;t we discuss my experience having requests, yes?

I take icon requests from fans because I know they love my art and being able to have a piece of it of their character can make them extremely happy.
But, the moment you take one request, a person thinks "huh, if they made one piece of art for me, they& #39;ll make more!"

You get daily messages from this person about art ideas they have of their characters, they sent their friends to you saying they want art, and the first was fine, but soon the 2nd and 3rd and everything after start flooding in. They& #39;re expecting art from me.
I mean, if I did a free one for their friends, why can& #39;t I do one for them? Right? Right???
My sleep schedule is eviscerally FUCKED mind you. I finish 3-10 pieces in a night for the past few weeks. That is a lot. I did it out of fear of disappointing the requesters.

Of course, that was my choice. My fault. I own up to that. I could have said no. I could have just brushed it off and denied. But I didnt. Because I want to make people happy. That& #39;s all I& #39;ve ever wanted.
The price? Me being miserable all the fucking time.

This site has made me lose my entire sense of self worth. I& #39;m nothing but a big number to people. An artist they can take advantage of.
So.
So.
