Popularity..
i am friends with a decently popular artist on dA. a few days ago, she only had 110 watchers. her really popular friend posted a journal about her & now she has almost 500 watches. i am so happy for her because i know she deserves it, but i feel still stuck. i'm at 34 watchers & i know i am good enough to get popular. i submit to lots of groups & whatnot, but it's like i'm just camping here. i feel bad like i'm not putting in the effort, but i spend 13 hours per digital drawing. i think a few of the reasons i can even get 50 watchers: 1-i am a manga artist like everyone else. 2-i am openly against kawaii-desu drama. 3-i change my style too often. i just want to get more watchers so i'll self promo, i just feel like a dirty little scum if i do. i don't really know why, but i feel like i'm cheating.
