For a number of fucking reasons, the biggest one is that I don't get any views. EVER.

I haven't been drawing because I spend 2 hours on a damn picture that I get... MAYBE 10 views on. Like seriously WHAT THE FUCK? I've been REAL good at keeping this quiet but now I'm just sick of it, I wanna point out quite a few things.

I'm on 2 art websites, this one and FA. (furaffinity for those non furries). I posted the most recent picture I made yesterday, and I have an okay friendlist on here and a decent fanbase on FA. I got 7 views here. No, really, 7 fucking views on Deviantart for a picture that took me WELL over 2 hours. And unless I draw a visible fucking cock on furaffinity, nobody could give a fucking shit because furries are cock whores who have nothing better to do with their life than fantasize about sex with mystical characters. and before I get any die hard furries saying anything, fuck off, I'm a furry too in case you haven't noticed.

Another thing on this is people are total ASSHOLES over fandoms. Unless you draw fanservice 24/7, nobody could give a shit who you are. So instead of being creative and saying "let's look at this person because they have interesting characters" people have no creativity because nobody does that, they look for the person who's gonna draw their favorite character all the time and nothing fucking else. and I see it everywhere, one person can draw 50 thousand pictures of their own character and get nothing AT ALL. But as SOON as they draw a spyro or Cynder or Cooper, fox, Daxter whatever the fuck it is, all of the sudden they're the newest fucking sensation. Art is dead because little fanwhores do nothing but superfav their fav character all the time.

OH and have you noticed that even if you don't have fanbase, if you have the cash to get commissions, you become so fucking popular. Because people are too stupid to venture off and actually LOOK for other artists, they just rather sit on their asses and wait for a cool picture from their fanbase drawing sources to find other people.

I've lost all the drive I had to even make an effort to draw or write something anymore because It gets no views, because it's not part of a fandom OR is drawn be someone who is known because I'm poor and I don't WANNA draw fandom shit, I'm not gonna be known for that because I wanna be known for my characters and not someone else's.

But what's the point in this journal? Nobody's gonna give a fuck about me, nobody ever gives a fuck about me, nobody has, nobody ever will. Have a nice fucking day.

Some things I draw, I spend way longer than 2 hours on, and they barely get any views. It's a very simple case of either give in, or put up and shut up.

There are tonnes of groups for original characters/writing, and submitting your work to a few of them would boost your views considerably. Yes, of course, you have to find said groups, but surely that should be worth it for a few simple statistics.

Yes, I draw art of my CoD fan characters, but I do it for myself, not the views, and that's what it's supposed to be about. If you're only here for views, then you'll have to give in to the masses, or at least cater to the masses in a certain way i.e. porn, anime/manga, webcomics etc. If you don't want to do something like that, then either leave or find groups that are worth posting your art in.

Also, you might want to work on your anatomy as well, as it's a bit off in the sense that your characters (anthro-wise) get thinner and smaller the further you go down their body.
