Alright, this has been loving with my emotions for several months now, so it's time for me to address some quotes in the drawings megathread and the creativity board in general.
Regarding this quote:
I say that because I like to be independent. Most of the time I'm already aware of what people tell me. I also do this purely for fun, unlike most people.
I really didn't word this properly. It sounded really dismissive and made me look like a self-righteous prick. What I meant by "I'm not looking for criticism" was while I know people are going to have an opinion on everything I do, I don't want them to share their opinion. Like I said in the above quote, "Most of the time I'm already aware of what people tell me."
so if you know about them then why don't you fix them?
Because I'm not trying to fix anything. Hell; I don't
want to fix anything. Everything I've ever done relating to sketches, short stories, and art as a whole isn't done for the pleasure of other people. It's done for the satisfaction of making something, whether it's good or not. Nothing is meant to be taken seriously.
On that note, here are some quotes where I mention not taking art seriously:
Because people take art way too seriously.
this is what I meant by taking art way too seriously.
Some people don't take art seriously.
I probably never should've said this. I certainly didn't want anyone to interpret it as art being insignificant to society, but I'm not entirely sure how else to describe what I really meant. I think I was referring to my own art, rather than art as a whole, but saying that just makes me look even more like a self-righteous prick.
I feel the need to go back to these because the backlash I got from most of them completely killed any enjoyment I got out of creating anything; be it writing, sketching, and even things as simple as posing ragdolls in Garry's Mod. Even the argument I got into with Miga made me want to distance myself from anything related to Japan. The only thing I want out of posting this is forgiveness. If I can get that, even if it's from two or three users, I might be able to tolerate doing more sketches and get over those goddamn arguments.
