It´s still awkward since i currently spend only little time on the computer x.x I couldn´t get to dA since my browser is all braty about dA right now. However I do appreciate that I can talk with you, Chris!

I know exactly what you mean. The worst is still when you work insanely hard on a picture, even doing a hand drawn background and it get´s barely any feedback while on the other hand something you smurged quickly up gets plenty of feedback and a hundred favs (Yes, a small little pixel thingy I did within 30 minutes really got that and exactly one hundrerd favs). It was nice at first, I can´t deny that, but when you realize that you got all of that for some small crap instead of something you poored your heart and soul in, it´s painful. On the other hand, I do enjoy to draw fanarts with complex details and colorings but Aikatsu is not exactly a fandom that will shower you with feedback on dA (it´s probably a lot diffrent on pixiv though) but if you draw fanart of popular series you also have a major risk that your art might be stolen or you get hate for shippings and all. What gives me personally a big boost is drawing gifts for good friends for birthdays and Christmas. It´s not that much feedback in quantity but usually very happy high-quality feedback from someone you really made happy, this is much more satisfying than plenty of comments consisting of four letters and an emote ^^ You could also ask for an art trade, than you also get something in return that makes you happy as well :)

I´m glad you recover nicely ^^
