Man, I knew I could count on my dA buddees. Seriously, I received so much support it was a little surprising. I guess I assumed people wouldn't care because most of the time I feel like I go unnoticed on dA. That's one of the things that was bothering me, actually. I mentioned in my previous journal how I can't seem to really connect with people in real life, but it wasn't helped by how my crazy fan ravings were also somewhat passed over on dA too. It's no one's fault, of course, I mean I'm stupid obsessed with the Legend of Zelda, and I don't blame people for looking at my fifth piece of fanart and moving on. But I dunno, hopefully I'll be able to look past it.

It's a silly little plight to want more recognition on dA, but please don't say something like "real artists create art for themselves and shouldn't care if they get recognition" because a) that's hurtful, and b) not true for everyone. My goal as an artist is to collaborate and inspire others. How can I do that without some form of recognition? How do I know if I'm making the impact I want to make if a lot of my artwork gets no feedback? I'm not looking to be famous or anything. It just feels like some sort of stasis I can't break out of.

This is not a journal to be all whiny about how people don't comment on my work. Really, don't feel like you have to comment on everything now, because that wouldn't be authentic. I'm just talking. Not asking for any favors or anything.

Thanks again for reading. You guys helped a lot more than you would know <3
