♥ -it!  -  Support the artist

// Support ALL the artists //

PLEASE!  YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS TO ME AND A MULTITUDE OF MY FRIENDS.  I GET DISCOURAGED ALL-THE-TIME ABOUT MY ART BECAUSE I GET LITTLE TO NO RECOGNITION.  SO I BEG YOU, IF YOU LIKE SOMETHING, PLEASE MAKE IT KNOWN.  LEAVE A COMMENT, REBLOG IT TO SEVERAL PLACES, SHOW YOUR FRIENDS!  IF YOU HELP BUILD AN ARTISTS CONFIDENCE, THEIR CREATIVITY WILL KNOW NO BOUNDS.

This goes for writing, too. Part of the reason - the real reason - I gave up on my serial novel is because I almost never received any feedback. I had, as far as I could tell, two loyal readers, and I got discouraged. Yes, you’re supposed to do this stuff for yourself, but it’s hard to find inspiration when you feel like you’re shouting into a void all the time. So I just… stopped. I want to start again but I haven’t yet summoned the will (or the time, to be honest).

Agreed. It’s part of the reason I stopped really posting my art. Lack of feedback makes it borderline worrisome that I’m being annoying. :(

Yes, please.  It’s so hard to post art when out of my 1000 followers maybe 14 like the art.  Just getting a comment on it makes the whole effort worth it though.
