I am really really sick of logging in and seeing that I have 5 messages that are all favorites on this piece of shit. [link] I'm so sick of my half-assed fanart getting more appreciation than things that I'm actually proud to show off just because i can draw a few squiggles that look remotely like a naruto character.

I find it absolutely appalling actually that the deviation I mentioned above has well over 4 times the views, favorites, or comments that anything else in my gallery does.
I'm seriously thinking about taking all the fanart in my gallery down except the few pieces that I did put effort into. So if you ever want to have a record of anything in my gallery that can be considered fanart, you better save it, because its about to go bye bye, piled into a small closet on my harddrive, never to see the light of day again.

I believe that anime is a perfectly respectable art style, and that even fanart can be appreciated as good illustration, however I find it sad that there are amazing photographers, painters, and digital artists out there who get less appreciation and attention than the 13-year-old naruto/inuyasha whores out there.

I know its been said before, but I'm saying it again for the fifteen-hundredth time. I'm sick of the anime fangirls who draw fanart of the same characters constantly without thought or effort, and don't take constructive criticism.
I've got something to tell all of your little egos:

Art is a bitch.

And if you're getting your little feelings hurt now by people who no doubt just wanted to see you get better, then I pray you aren't hoping to become an artist of any kind whether it be a "mangaka" or an animator, whichever one you think is closer to creating your precious Naruto or Inuyasha.
