Just a hobby artist. When not character designing and/or worldbuilding, I'm drawing fun stuff. I suffer from severe exhaustion,so it's slow goin' on my webcomic project.

Thank you very much for posting this thread and taking a moment to comment! I'm not at all concerned with followers, though the feelings seem to be very close to my own here. I'll see about posting to it to help remind me of the long journey it took to get here.

you might be a bit critical of yourself, while it's not bad at all since you want to improve,it's also best to keep it in check,you don't want to find yourself hating your own art.
other then that i don't think people have any reason to lie to you about your art,you're doing a great job and got yourself some really good character designs,even though it might be hard to "prove" that they really mean it, but at the same time,some people might leave some short comments or whatnot since they don't have too many things to say.
sucks to hear how people tried to put your skills down though,at the very least you've got the novelty in your life now,think of the good comments and praise you get as a starting push for later on,as sort of a warm welcoming gift

As they always say, the biggest critic of your art will be yourself. Thankfully, I've long since been over hating my art so I'm hopeful that won't return.
True, and thank you very much! Feelings aren't always a rational thing, and my view of people's honesty has been colored by the experiences I had with family, the first people you interact with before the rest of society. And because of how things were at home, I didn't click with my peers at all until I became an adult.
I will do better to quash this feeling whenever it makes itself known for this very reason. I love the responses, it just doesn't feel natural yet since I'm super unused to it. And unused to this feeling. Sure, I got praise at work in customer service and then when I was technically a co-leader for a few years in a competitive videogame, but that was easy to shrug off because I simply mirrored the social efforts of people who were popular. Art is far more personal, and not exactly something to copy or mirror from others.
As for comments people leave me, I appreciate anything anyone leaves, be it short or otherwise. So thank you for taking the time to leave this thoughtful response. I wish there were more words to express the amount of gratitude I have for you and those who've been so welcoming to me, thank you doesn't quite feel enough.
