apparently a president’s worth to a “TRUE AMERICAN” is decided by the words his name rhymes with.

HAHAHA oh, wow. I mean, everyone knew it rhymed- but to see someone actually say it and be MAD about it. I’m dying. :’D

Goes to post on Facebook.

Realizes I’m not even interesting enough for Facebook.

Not sure if this is good or bad.

ok dA lol

Reminds me of the time dA asked me if I wanted to make one of my old Flash animations into a print.

Hideki Naganuma liked my Sonic/Beat pic and posted it on his Twitter feed aaaa so giddy right now. *___* <3

I just wanna say that I’m actually pleasantly surprised by the response to my popularity post. Most people have been taking it well and really thinking about it- whether or not they agree- and responding in a thoughtful manner. I’ve learned a few things about your points of view, and I hope you’ve learned something from mine as well. :)

Keep those brains a-thinkin’ and those hearts a-beatin’.

Nothing.

You get jack shit.

People will hate on you based on the fact that you have an “internet following.” Nobody in real life knows you from the internet, you still have to work hard to get any jobs. People will ask you to draw them stuff on a daily basis. You can’t get away with being silly or people will think you’re slipping up. If you try something new, people will hate you for it- as if it affected them personally. People will suck up to you in the most awkward ways. Most people will hear what they want to hear, no matter what you’re actual intentions were. Your work will be stolen, traced, altered, etc. without your permission while you get no credit for it.

Next time you long for your own bubble of followers and fans, just remember that it’s not all gravy. A lot of it is shit that you can’t do anything about and never asked for.

Just be yourself. You’ll be a lot happier for it.

:: Commissions

-You still have to sell yourself short. I rarely see anybody online-popular or not- selling commissions based on what their work is actually worth. It’s very rare to actually gain enough money from online commission work to sustain your living situation. 99% of artists selling commissions online also have jobs outside of the internet.

-I never get more than one or two commissions at a time unless I’m REALLY selling myself short. I put hours- often days of work into my art, yet I have to charge what I’d make in a few hours at a minimum wage job. Cartoons are not exactly the “holy grail” of fine art.

-You are in absolutely NO WAY guaranteed work in any job outside of internet commissions if all you do ARE online commissions. You need to promote yourself outside of the internet. People aren’t going to just magically find you, no matter how popular you are.

:: This is a mean post.

It’s not mean, it’s honest. If you feel like this was written in an attempt to just sound disheartening, then you fall under the “Most people will hear what they want to hear, no matter what you’re actual intentions were.” category. Sorry!

Nothing.

I don’t see the point of believing there are better people out there. I’ve heard it all before. I’ve seen the charmers, the ‘friends’ that erupt like a volcano over nothing. Over what would be a compliment were it handed to me. Too many bridges have been burned in front of me for things that would roll off my back.

I can’t tell who is fake and who isn’t anymore. I can’t tell the genuine artists from the attention whores. I can’t tell if someone really cares about learning and growing as an adult, or if they just tell themselves they do so they can be absolved of responsibility. I can’t tell the nice people from the “nice people”. Every time I think I’ve found “the one who’s different”, the one who supposedly won’t let fame and success go to their heads, it turns out I’m wrong.

How long am I supposed to keep doing this? How long am I supposed to keep deluding myself into thinking anyone gives as much of a rat’s ass about me as I do for them?

I can’t tell when someone is being nice or if they’re being sarcastic. Or if it’s all some sick head-game they’re playing on me. I can’t tell the sheep from the wolves anymore. They all look the same. I’m tired of trying to sort them out.

I’m tired of it all. I’m tired of spending months or years admiring someone, only to find out I just liked their disguise.

I’m tired of good people ruined by success and fame, by drooling legions of “Fans” who think constructive criticism is a personal attack.

I’m tired of people coddling content creators.

I’m tired of caring about what people have to say, carefully considering it, and maybe changing my mind.

I’m tired of no one else doing the same for me.

I’m tired of believing that people are mostly good, kind, intelligent and charitable.

I’m tired of being told I have to give this person a chance, even though all of those other people turned out to be monsters.

I’m tired of believing anyone would give me that chance.

I’m tired of believing in the human race.

So if you think I’ve been unfair to you, or mean, or inconsiderate, and completely out of the blue, apropos of nothing? If you think I’ve needlessly cast you aside without any rhyme or reason, just to demonstrate what an asshole I am? If you feel completely cheated and unrecognized by me, the world and everyone in it?

Congratulations! Now you know what it’s like to be me.

I had a feeling you’d write something like this instead of just responding to the note I sent you.

First of all, I did consider you a friend. I enjoyed having you around, you can be a fun guy when you’re not stewing in your self loathing.

Secondly, just because I don’t always agree with your criticism does not mean that I think I’m better than you. It simply means that I don’t see what you see. It’s a matter of personal taste and perspective.

Third, what you said to me yesterday WAS rude. No, I don’t mean the criticism you had. That was fine, I can see how the pixelation in the image may look bad to some people. That’s a matter of personal taste.

The RUDE part was this, and I quote:

“Then I remembered I’m less popular on Tumblr. And that makes me wrong and dumb, apparently.”

This was completely and utterly uncalled for. Before I could even RESPOND, you assumed that I was going to put you down and shove you aside because you think I’m “popular” on Tumblr. You ASSUMED that because I get more attention than you, that I’m automatically an asshole.

Boy, I have been burned by people I thought were saints. Do you think I don’t know what it’s like to have your best friend turn around and bite you in the ass? Because I know very well. But you can’t let the negatives prevent you from feeling the positives.

You always seem to assume the worst of people. If you keep up that attitude, you will never find any “good people.”

Aw man, Rayman community. Look what I found doing the same shit.

http://raygirl22.tumblr.com/

I like the plan ol’ blantant use of del’s steamboat rayman gif for a banner.

I think I know who that is. Scratch that, I think a number of us Rayman…

Has anyone shown this to Del? I don’t know what the tumblr reporting system is like but it might be best if she tries to get the banner removed herself. Might give the report more weight

This is why I put a URL on all of my work now. :’D I really appreciate being asked beforehand if someone is going to post my work elsewhere, but as long as the URL and copyright info remain on the image, (and they’re not claiming it as their own and/or making money off of it) I’m not really worried about the image being used. It’s kinda like free advertising I guess.

Thanks for pointing this out, though. Anytime you spot my work being posted somewhere without my consent, please let me know. :)

When I make a point and someone misinterprets my words then responds in a negative manner, but is actually just further justifying what I said to begin with I just can’t
