A Little Support Goes a Long Way <3

WARNING! LONG JOURNAL AHEAD!

Despite what the title might imply, all I wanna do here is simply say thank you... again lol!
I know I tend to repeat myself, but seeing the constant support and actual love you guys show me anytime I post a new piece gives me the boost to keep creating!

What I'm about to say is gonna sound terribly pathetic and a bit stupid, but I feel the need to speak up about it. I've been going through a rough time with my own art recently. Like whatever I do, doesn't matter how hard I work on it or how much I've improved, it always feel like I'm just... not enough. Whenever I post my art on my other social media's, I feel a horrible preassure to constantly meet certain expectations. And of course, when those expectations aren't met, I am left questioning whether what I'm doing even makes sense. Nothing new, really. Every small artist I know has gone throught that.

But those feelings just vanish whenever I post here. Seeing all the support, reading your comments knowing that you took the time to let me know that what I made managed to make you smile, feel something (or even a bit horny xD), means the world to me. Anytime I log onto my page, I'm only met with kindness and love and a real sense of belonging. Knowing that there are people on here who do want to see what I create, and that like my art enough to want to watch me, makes me want to run to my tablet and start another drawing. And as someone who loves drawing and tries to improve every day little by little, a little support is able to make me feel like I'm on the moon!

Now, am I a big artist?? Of course not! But that doesn't change that I feel like we somehow managed to create a small, cozy and comfortable community to which I'm always happy to contribute to! <3
And I can never thak you enough for the support that you keep showing me. So thank you again, guys. A million times, thank you <3

You are very welcome. And well said.


As someone trying to get into posting content (specifically writing stories), I understand the pressure of wanting to meet certain "expectations" (whether they are self-imposed or what I think potential readers want from me) and feeling as if you failed when to don't meet them.

I'm glad you are able to find so much love and support on this site.

And good on you for trying to improve all the time. The best learners are those that never stop learning to be better.


Keep up the good work! 😊

Thank you for your kind words and your support (and also sorry for constantly replying to you lol)! It's true that those expectations are usually self-imposed, and as artists we are our worst enemy most of the times, but the best thing I took from the reactions I gained on my last pieces was realizing that you guys follow me for what I like to create! And that tops any number and/or ambition at gaining populairity on any other app!

Sending you my best wishes for your writing career and I'll be on my way to read something of yours now and show you my endless love and support :3

I'm glad you appreciated my words.

And don't worry. I don't mind having several replies. In fact, I like talking with people. So, I'm happy to give and receive comments.


"the best thing I took from the reactions I gained on my last pieces was realizing that you guys follow me for what I like to create!"
That puts it best. I feel the same way with my work. As much as I want to gain notoriety, the best thing I can do is to create what I enjoy and wait for likeminded people to find me.


Thank you for wishing me luck on my writing. I noticed you already commented on one of my stories, so I'll be sure to reply to that.


Let's continue to show each other love and support!

I love your content. And I find your art style very well put together so it's very pleasing and adds a certain amount of charm to each piece that you do. You have your own style and I simply adore it. I love the content that you post but even if it wasn't Sonic related I still like your style and I like the way that you pick colors and how each piece is presented.

So in short you are a amazing artist!

Thank you so so much, my dear Rose! <3 You were one of the first who joined me here and immediately showed me support and affection and I can't thank you enough for that! It might seems small, but even you trusting me enough to let me draw your OC was a big deal to me \(◦'⌣'◦)/ (which btw I can't way to draw again, 'cause I love Onyx <3)
I still have a long way to go to be a perfect artist, but all the support is already a big step in the right direction!

As a fellow artist, I know this kind of feeling of not being up to snuff with other artists you admire, but you do you. Your art will naturally progress the more you draw. Everyone has their own art quirks and that's perfectly fine. Keep up the good work!

As much as I hate to admit it, comparison with big artists is somehow very hard to avoid when you decide to step in the game yourself. Some definitely inspire us, but some others feel just too out of reach and indirectly bring us down.
InkBunny was a huge, heartfelt discovery for me, and thanks to people like you who are always there no matter what I am finally feeling better about my art and about the progress I make.

Thank you so so much fro always been here (and literally everywhere ;D)
