Well, I did this in the hope that I could get past my art block (but it's not working) But I also have other purposes:
Reactivate anonymous questions (in hopes of shutting up those shitty haters)
Clarify why I don't mention the artists from whom I'm inspired
BRING ATTENTION!! Because here I'll clarify my personal reasons once and for all!
-------------------------------
Well, for a long time (when I started as an artist on deviantart, I was a beginner) I was inspired by artists who were much better than me, I had drawn gifts for them and written supportive comments saying how much I like their art, until then I didn't have problems; But when I started on Tumblr, the problems started.
I met more artists who inspired me, most of the inspiration I got from tumblr artists, so I started by making my first gift to an artist (I won't mention who). Since I had improved my drawing technique a bit, I decided to do it (without exaggeration, it had been difficult for me), but after publishing it tagging the artist, time passed and this artist didn't seem to have noticed. I wanted to give them more time, since I knew they was a busy person, but after seeing that they was still answering questions from other users, I decided to send them a private message mentioning that I had drawn them a gift (since tumblr sometimes doesn't warn about tags) But... completely ignored my message and didn't reply to the message again.
That was my first experience. But things got worse as time went by...
I decided that before making a gift, I should ask the artists (so as not to go through that embarrassment again). I asked another artist if I could draw their character, but again they ignored my message (I didn't want to insist) and things got worse.
Currently several of the artists that I used to follow, stop doing it, since it seems that they has something personal against me. I have sent questions out of curiosity, or to askblogs, and they didn't answer my questions, not even those of "I like your art" (ironic, seeing that other users answer saying the same thing)
IN OTHER WORDS...
Yes! I am inspired by the art of various artists, but I stopped mentioning them because there're some who don't deserve the merit! Their egos are so big that they forget that it's thanks to their followers that they are who they are! They're so self centered that they treat some followers like shit!
(I won't mention the artists who suck, but if you insist on knowing, I'll just say it by private message, although I don't recommend asking.)
The artists that I follow today are the few who still have a bit of humility and don't treat their followers like shit.
I don't mention any artsits (either egotistical or humble) because I don't know how they will react, the egocentric will be offended and the humble will congratulate. Well, I don't want ANYTHING anymore! I prefer to stay with the gains of giving gifts and giving credit, than giving them to artists who don't deserve it! I won't risk that the artist to whom I dedicate a gift, be a shit person and go back to spend a shame making a drawing in which I tried being discarded!
They may draw well having talent as an artist, but as people they are disgusting! drawing well doesn't give them the right to be egotistical and conceited!
Dedicated to all artists (especially superficial ones)
For now I made these drawings of my characters along with those of other artists (of course who I was inspired by) just so that the bullies and haters stop bothering me. Thanks to them I have this art block.
I think it goes without saying that my art is not the best, but as always, I try hard! I already mentioned the artists of some of the characters I was inspired by!
Now leave me alone! I did what you wanted, now stop bothering me! You fucking bullies!!
