#original entry#im going to bed because i am tired but i am going to vent a little bit first and what better place than right here on tumblr dot com#tho frankly part of my quarrel here is WITH tumblr dot com but alas i dont want to actually bother anyone with this irl and i dont expect#anyone to read the tags on this post especially since i am intentionally lengthening them#now heres my problem: being an artist (on tumblr)#actually im just gonna cut to the chase#my favorite artworks that ive done get like. no attention. and it hurts!#obviously i cant be mad that people might just not like my art cuz whats the point in getting upset over something i cant control#its just really annoying that the doodles i spend very little time on get more recognition than shit i actually put time into#(im going to make some comparisons but i do have to realize that. again. certain things just might not be peoples cup of tea)#(like i LOVE the cowboy marty thing i posted today but some people might see it and think ‘oh thats too weird i dont like it’)#based on technical skill and style alone i want to compare the cowboy marty to the ‘youll never be 5’7’’ drawing#cowboy marty has a lot going for it i mean its fully colored and shaded and its even got a real background for chrissakes. i put a lot of ti#me into it...like 8 notes. (tho i know when theo sees it more people will b exposed to it but who knows if theyll like it)#the ‘5’7’’’ drawing literally took like 15 min to do and theres really not much going on there. 100+ notes.#i’m grateful people liked it that much but damn...it just makes me feel like its not worth trying to make actual art because no one likes it#not many people liked sailor marty either but that was also a weird concept so thats probably part of it. i LOVE how sailor marty turned out#like i spent so much time on that too!! given what most of my digital art looks like its a fucking masterpiece!#i also love my doc and marty piece from forever ago but i think people interpreted it as ship and were off put by it. tho tbh i would redo#martys face bc i hate how i drew his profile now lfkslsk.#but yeah. i feel discouraged and kinda upset that tumblr doesnt seem to really appreciate the art i put real time and effort i my o#*into. like what do i have to do to get you to like it. is it REALLY that the concept is too kooky?? because yall love shitpost art so idgi.#(tho i dont think of my art as shitposts i think theyre genuine ways of interacting with content)#its also hitting me hard bc i like...want to try and become a better artist and somehow worm my way into the professional art world#but when i try new things to improve my digital art no one cares or likes it. so yeah. discouraging stuff.#idk maybe i shouldnt speak so soon with cowboy marty idk what times im supposed to post stuff so yall see it. cuz obv that factors in too bu#t....idk man. anyway this has been my vent post. if u made it all the way down here then thanks for listening
