that what you're doing is pointless and you're just a man child?
I'm near three decades of life and sometimes, when I post art, I get this feeling people at my facebook must thinks I'm stupid to be drawing any kind of fanart at this age, when a good chunk of people my age are already with child and with no time to waste on a "childish" hobby like that. Or probably think I'm a virgin when I post pinup art, etc.
I mean, if its not a profession for you, it really is kinda lame to be drawing pop culture stuff or in an style that resembles anime. It's almost the same as posting about cartoons and stuff when you're past 20's.
I got this feeling because recently, on an family reunion, my dad said to my grandma that I was drawing Japanese porn cartoon, because I've had recently posted a pinup I did. (I don't draw in anime style, but for normies if it's not realistic or cartoon network stuff = anime)
My art would probably be more respected if the subject wasn't fantasy or pop culture stuff? Do you guys ask yourselves the same question? I wonder how those 20's + neckbeards who draws porn deals with themselves. hehe
I dunno, maybe I should be pursuing more concrete stuff for my life, like buying an apartment, create real bond with a women, etc.
Honestly, you care too much

I know. I have friends who are more "nerdy" and posts anime/cartoon/pop culture stuff without hassle, but they're not the best examples of what you would call a responsible adult.

your art isn't respected because it's shit, has nothing to do with what style you draw in.
>I dunno, maybe I should be pursuing more concrete stuff for my life, like buying an apartment, create real bond with a women, etc.
Yeah, but we both know at the end of the day you won't do any of those things and you'll just play video games or shitpost on 4chan. I mean, it's not ilke you're drawing 24h and that's what's stopping you from doing those things. Chances are, drawing takes up a fraction of your free time.

You assumed a lot about my life from the little I said, huh? Even know that my drawing is shit. lol
First, I work 5-9 as a mechanical engineer. Second, it's not that I'm not pursuing real life goals, it's about the image I'm passing trough my hobbies and how those affect myself. Third, since I get back at drawing it's almost all I do in my spare time: I get home, take a shower, eat something and draw while listening to podcasts until I have to sleep... In the weekends I try to be more social and hang out with friends.
Finally, my art isn't that bad, I'm mid level.

I have no doubt your art is shit. Just stop and go back to your math, robot.
If it bothers you so much, don't.
But do you enjoy it at all? If you just didn't post them on your facebook anymore, would you keep drawing the same stuff or keep drawing at all? Is the only thing that bothers you how others perceive you and their prejudices? Or do you think those prejudices might be justified and that's why it bothers you?
>buying an apartment, create real bond with a women, etc.
Doesn't sound bad, but again, is that something you consider solely for your image or because you'd like what this encompasses for yourself?
Gotta ask yourself why you do what you do and sort your priorities.

>lies, lies, lies, lies
if any of that were true you wouldn't be posting here.

>crossposting your own bitter posts
I understand you need to weed out competition but then why come here at all?

I know these feels.
I've spent 6 months so far learning and I can post animu pictures and people comment on them and seem to like them, but I constantly wonder whether I'd be better off having spent that time lifting or learning JavaScript or something useful.

Fall cant come soon enough

I think they're kinda justified, as I would and do judge people over their 20's posting anime/pop culture stuff all the time and not caring for the "adult" part of life. I'm not sure how to put it in words, but it's kind infantile to care so much about those stuff, even when you're a "contributing" part of society. lol

>ugly females
Wow, what utter garbage. Kill yourself.
>>3107815
>Yeah, exactly this with the difference I'm not even doing anime, just fanart or fantasy stuff.
I console myself with the fact that I'm drawing fetish porn and so if I can help someone to masturbate then that's an overall positive result for everyone involved.

I hope for your sake you realize that adults are just bigger children. We never truly grow up, we just figure out how to fake it.
It's even more childish that you worry about what is considered "childish" or not when most of the time people don't give a shit as to what you do. Only the most insecure will care and to be honest you just sound insecure as fuck. Learn to be confident in what you do because that shows real maturity.
