Not as in ill sick but more like a disgust kinda sick...I hope you know what i mean. So me as well as other artists that i know don't really get that much recognition for our art. Like this guy for example: :iconbahamutaxiom: by far has got to be one of the best artists ive ever got to know (kinda) Some of his art like this one for example:  Jupiter by BahamutAXIOM is by far one of his best work yet! But it doesn't look like his art gets enough credit it deserves. Now i don't really feel like expressing my sickness that much cause theres probably a ton of reasons why my art doesn't really get noticed such as too busy, not going to my page at all or in reality people really do think my art sucks and just dont wanna say it, IDK, maybe i'll just never be that great artist that I wanted to be. I mean if thats the case i might as well just go back to being a loner like i originally was before i started making friends, or just leave all together and work 2 or 3 jobs the rest of my life and not wasting my pitiful time on broken dreams. I sure no ones really gonna care anyways (except for a few) I'll probably have to think about what to do. I might as well face the truth and just be alone the rest of my life, might have leave some friends and stick to the ones i support the most like :icontalonartsda: or :iconmawnbak: or :iconpelle131313: to list a few. I'm just unsure about myself. It's like i've entered a phase where i might have to make a tough choice: Do i wanna keep doing what i doing? Do I wanna keep doing what im doing yet start over with only a few friends as good start, or do i wanna leave permenatly and actually find a real life? I just dont know anymore what i want

  Unfortunately, this is something that most if not all artists/creative people go through.  You'll probably go through is multiple times in your lifetime.  The main advice I can give is to just keep at it. 

  When I was first trying to break out into the field there was no such thing as deviantart, facebook, or social media at all.  I had to make contacts in person get critiqued, show art, attend classes etc...  It was very discouraging to be told no or that you are not what they're looking for, but for every one of those I asked what would make my work better, and I learned from each encounter.  This was also around the time when comics were looked at as dead end employment so teachers were constantly telling me that I shouldn't pursue it, or change my art style.  

  I tried not to let that stuff stop me until I found somebody that was willing to give me a chance with a local magazine comic strip.  I only got 2 strips published but that was enough!  I was a professional!  

  The point is to keep at it,  I've watched you progress so much in the last couple of years and you are only gonna get better from here!  Keep pursuing your goal even if you never get any major deals.  As an artist you'll feel the need to create, with or without fame and recognition.  You'll have to find the balance between keeping a regular 9-5 job and keeping your art going.  I'm finding that difficult right now too.

Hope this help you in your struggle,  we all go through it!  You will succeed!!!
