The Long Road Ahead...

Posted by misterbright - August 9th, 2022


I don't care anymore...


If people wanna look at my drawings, that's great. If they don't, that's fine too.


No more being overly dramatic or trying to bait people into taking an interest in me. If anyone really cares how i'm doing/feeling, they can ask me directly.


I just wanna improve...

I just wanna create...

I just wanna draw...

your drawings get like 4 favs each. thats a lot lol. most people dont get that much i think your standards and expectations of people are way too high

what brought this on from a non follower?

@misterbright I was clicking on people's profiles from the art forum and saw this

so where did I say I had high standards for people?

@misterbright because the attention that you are getting doesnt register as enough attention

you didnt answer my question

@misterbright i read it in your post when you said "no more being overly dramatic or baiting people"
and yeah you say youre over it but it doesnt seem like it to me

@misterbright i do get what you are saying tho, i am assuming

You have no clue what you're talking about, do you?

@misterbright im totally wrong and i think thats clear

u can leave now

@misterbright okay ^_^

if only MisterBright would be happy with your work. In the end of the day, that's all that matters.

i'll ask him...but hes eating a popcicle right now so i dont wanna interupt him

Make the art because you like making it instead of "getting noticed"

whoever said that must be really wise

There is something called the 5 % rule. On social media. Most influencers YouTubers instaelite. Generally consider 1-5 % of their total fan base interacting with their content as a success. That is literally any one of them. Rossdraws for example has1.4 million followers on instagram and YouTube. Yet on both platforms his average post gets about 70-100k views 12-20k likes….a fraction of the people that “follow “ him.

You for example seems to have some of the highest favorable interaction on your art out of some of the people I’ve seen on this site. Since the last time I perused your profile you you seem to have added like 5 to 10 followers in a month. You most recent art has like 120+ views which means at the very least most of your followers are at least caring enough to look at your art and out of those you are averaging 4-7 faves and your art is generally rated around 4.5 stars or higher. I mean by almost every possible metric your art is apparently a smashing success for the level of skill you display it is actually kind of impressive

While I normally avoid internet drama and woe is me stories. I will use my self as a comparison since we both started NG at the same time-ish. I have been pegged around 55 ish followers for virtually all this time. my art usually languishes around 10 to 100 views I think a few people have faved any of it and most of my art is well under a 3 star rating.not only is my art ignored but the few people that do stop to look at it apparently grow so disgusted or offended by it that it gets a zero bomb. It is the biggest reason I took most of my art off NG once it started getting down to 2 stars I got the message. Lol….

You have been posting here for a lil over 2 years give it some time and if you stop shit posting and invest some time into smoothing out your artistic short comings your presence will probably grow faster. Any growth on social media is ludicrously hard even for mega skilled artist so you are apparently doing something right…just do it righter.

There is a more important line that you missed. What you mention wasn't really the point of my post, but ok.

Ur not a follower anymore tho. Why u in mah base readin my weirdo journal entries? You better not be spying :3
