Alternate Blurting I: Wasteland

I just got dragged so hard it makes me never want to even try to draw again.

Jesus Christ I didn't know I was that bad. Like, I know everyone can improve but they suggested I get a Deviantart.

I wasted so much money on art school, and a lot of people were all, "That's a waste of money" but I thought I could at least fucking draw but goddamn I just got ROASTED and it was in a such a way that you know it wasn't a troll, they actually meant the shit they were saying.

God I feel so fucking worthless. I need a cigarette and good, long, dramatic, Anakin Skywalker level cry.

Jesus fuck man. I'm... I've got two commissions I need to finish and I just don't think I can after this. I got shut the fuck up. I got my ass handed to me. I have to recoup because god damn.
 
God, this is gonna be a shitty day. I hate when something happens and it just- it hits you, but you have to get up and get dressed and go to work and shit like it didn't. I hate that shit. I'm gonna be fucking useless.

But you have people that want your work. Try and focus on that and take the constructive criticism. Everyone always had room for growth. :rose:

  • not everyone has the same taste in art
  • good critique shouldn't leave you feeling that way - it should point out areas of (supposed) weakness in a manner that encourages you to try a different slant and improve.
  • not all critique is critique (though you said this sounded as if they knew what they were doing)
  • some critters enjoy the sound of their own voices better than anyone elses and it's all about them
  • most artists (of any genre) are very close emotionally to their creations and so take any form of critique as direct criticism of themselves and not an objective view of their work. time allows perspective
  • historically, how many artists managed to sell work lucratively that later garnered great fame and matching price tags?
  • you have commissions!
  • EVERYONE has room for improvement - everyone is on their journey from here to there, and no one's journey is the same as another's
  • blah blah blah blah blah
when you reach that point where you read/look at someone else's work and feel like laying down your brush/pen because no-one could ever match that beauty, you'll STILL get over it. what's inside will come out, regardless, or drive you insane if you suppress it.

cheer up!

The only good artist is a dead artist does not seem like very cheerful advice.

Oh, no, it wasn't constructive criticism. It was literally phrased in such a way that they thought I was like, 13 and should get a Deviantart. Like it wasn't and specific, "You should do X to improve" it was literally just, "Hey small child did you know that there are platforms where people can post art so other people can look at it?"

That's what hit me so hard. This person thought that I was so bad that it never entered their mind that I was an adult who sold this shit professionally who toured shows and had worked in the field and shit.

I had the rug completely pulled out from under me. It bitchslapped the shit out of me. My brain kinda shut off because nobody had ever talked to me that way even when I was a kid.

Like have you ever just had somebody talk down to you like that- it wasn't even mean it was just like, "You can get really good if you work on it! Of course, no one would buy it right now, but maybe someday!" Like just so patronizing that you just physically cannot manifest a real reaction because you're sitting there trying to figure out what happened so your brain is like, "You should just cry in frustration"

and you're like, "Hey let's not do that"

and your brain is like, "Well I'm completely unfamiliar with the type of thing I'm seeing. It's too nice to be a troll so someone out there legitimately thinks you're a piece of shit. And hey remember all those mental disorders we have-"

And you're like, "Dude we have to go to work please don't start on that bullshit"

And it's all, "Well I mean they weren't fucking with you. They legit thought you were that shitty. And it's a stranger who has no reason to lie to you. So we're gonna obsess about it all day."

And you're all, "Please don't, it's just a stranger on the internet who didn't want a commission"

And he's all, "Yeah, because they thought you were worthless. Like they literally thought you didn't know what Deviantart was."

So for a few hours we just think about that, I guess. Then I got over it. But I'm just really not used to being talked down to.

Then I started thinking about it and I realized they used to word 'schoolgirl', and I thought about how maybe the reason I hadn't ever been treated in a "oh you poor little innocent creature you don't even know how bad you suck" way is because I'd been projecting masculinity and been protected from it by my male privilege and then that pissed me off for a whole other reason and I'm actually fine now.

I can take criticism, I was just completely unprepared for condescension because I've never really... had that happen before? I just literally had no script for how to process it. I'm fine with people telling me they don't like my work because art is subjective. I wasn't prepared for how this person talked to me. That's what threw me off so bad. That's a new one. It won't blindside me again I've just somehow miraculously avoided it this long.

I can deal with mean-spirited bullshit, I can't, apparently, deal with being talked down to. Which is weird. I never thought that would bother me.
 
Also I can't cut off one of my ears. I wear glasses and those contacts fuck me right up.
 
My folk's 53rd anniversary was yesterday. I know I should be thinking "That's so inspiring" or something, but all I can think of is "I'm surprised there hasn't been a homicide."
