I don't intend to put any pressure on you by sending this, but every time you post something new, it makes me really happy no matter what the content of the art is.
I think that even if it's 'just a sketch' or fully rendered, it has a lot of effort and thought put into it. I'm glad that you're choosing to do this because it makes you happy, but please feel free to take breaks as well, to avoid burning out (and the other things you mentioned in that post a while ago).
That being said, the best of luck to your future endeavours! I hope you do well in everything that you try!
Your words really comforted me. Thank you so much <3
Ngl when I first started posting art (for another fandom), I felt so tired and sad because my art didn't get the engagement I expected. It's a pretty common feeling among artists (and content creators in general), especially when they're just starting out.
Of course, I was also very envious of other artists who were receiving so much attention. It's not something I'm proud of, especially when I think about how those artists worked hard to be there.
After a few years, I realized that I was wrong. The algorithm doesn't determine whether your art is good or not. You determine it.
I chose to move on and start in a new fandom and a new blog (yeah, the riolone-moon blog). I decided that I wouldn't create just what people expected me to draw. Back then, I was basically drawing one ship over and over again, and when I posted something new, it ended up flopping.
Don't get me wrong, I love drawing knkdz and I could do it forever, but to avoid making the same mistake twice (and to avoid getting burnt out on the ship), I opted to draw whatever I want: ships, platonic relationships, underrated characters, found families, and comics.
I’m saying this because your ask made me really happy and showed me that I chose the right path.
And don't worry, day by day I'm taking care of my mental health and taking time off when I get too tired.
Thank you so much again for your ask. It really made my day! ❤️
