Some 'Real Talk'

Hello my fellow watchers. I have to get something off my chest. This message is especially for those who voted, that they are here (just) because of my fansprites. You guys may have noticed that my fansprites are becoming very rare these days. And well...I honestly do not think that this will change anytime soon. I just don't want to do them anymore and for the last few lines I did, I literally had to force myself to do them. But why is that?

Answer is simple. As an artist I really dig criticism and feedback of any kind. I actually need it as a fuel to keep me interested and motivated to go on. As for fansprites...there is hardly any fuel left. Let me explain why.

While MOST of my Sprites recieve a bunch of faves, there is often not a single comment on them. And if, It's a single one from the person whos Fakemon I used. Oh. And don't forget all those "May I use this" comments that are really making me nuts! So it's really little to non existing feedback here other than through faves. And don't get me wrong, faves are important too and I myself often fave without a comment, but I actually am working on changing that. Because there is always something you could say about a piece of art!

And that exactly is the reason WHY I am so semi-addicted to creating Monster High stuff. There faves and comments usually match. Even though it's the same awesome people commenting on that stuff over and over again, THEY AT LEAST DO SO. There are complete conversations in the comment section. They make me create more and more and more and having fun by doing so.

However I am aware that this is something different and probably not a good comparison. Because my sprites are 'just' Fansprites. The design was made by somebody else, I 'just' sprited it. But EVERY SPRITER can tell you how challenging and time consuming even that can be. And being rewarded only with faves and not with words doesn't really make me wanna do more. Plus many spriter who also designed the mon don't get any more comments than I do. So maybe the comparison isn't that farfetched at all. It's the fandom. When my friend Phyromatical talked about this I was like "I think you are exaggerating, your pkmn maps are doing fine!" But maybe he had a point back then :/

Lucky for you guys is that I am the head of a Pokémon Project myself. Although I have some amazing spriter in my team, there will be occasions where I will/have to sprite some stuff as well, so there will always be something I guess...but if you really want to see more TELL ME! Give me some actual feedback OTHER then just a load of faves. Bc....I really enjoy creating stuff that others like so much that they simply have to leave a comment. Or even the other extreme, stuff that is so full of flaws that they have to point them out to me so that I can improve. Either way: TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. That's the importand part here

And to all the Monster High(and Ever after High) Fandom: YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! <3
