Art on some of the sites I frequent seems to have become some sort of popularity contest, and while I guess I understand it to some degree, it still surprises me. Some of the best artists I know do art for art's sake, or to make someone happy, not just to get famous and get a ton of compliments. "Do what you love, love what you do." When you do stuff you really like, the rest just sort of falls into place with time. <3
EDIT: Just for clarification, this is just sort of a thing I felt like drawing, not a rant at anybody. XD Just encouragement and thoughts~.
