Guys, does my art... bother you? Like legitimately bother you and bring you to hate me because of it? I ask this because of this post: f-nodragonart.tumblr.com/post/…

Now, it's not the anatomy talk that bothers me. I've ALWAYS known Zirra's anatomy was "out there" and drastically different from normal dragon anatomy and I made it that way for a reason because of the creature she is. But what does bother me is that this person actually HATES that people like me. I just...don't understand how that is. I didn't do anything to her/him. I never meant to bother people with my style. Really? My style is so putrid and disgusting that I should be hated for it? I never meant any ill will. I just wanted to draw and enjoy drawing. I don't want to fight with anyone. I'm not going around saying my style is the best. But I guess some believe I should be shot down cause my style is "hurting" others. Maybe it's just one of the joys of being on the internet, finding a "hater" pop up out of nowhere and talk so vile towards you for doing nothing but simply posting a drawing. I didn't go to some high class art school, I didn't excel in anatomy correctness or have a degree in art. Why am I put up on such a high pedestal like that then, as though I'm expected to be some sort of expert? I'm NOT. I'm not a professional, why am I being treated as such? I just want to enjoy drawing, but being hated for no reason other than having a style that's probably not anatomically correct really kills my passion for it. All the likes on there from people who agree. I didn't know all this hatred for me was building up behind my back.... People are capable for hating me just for my drawings and not because I'm a vile person? If hate is born this easily, then I'm a little frightened to go on. I have no inspiration to keep writing my comics if I know that people hate me for them. I had NO IDEA that people did. I don't want people to hate me. I never meant to hurt anyone. If you're not 100% percent correct on the internet, you're hated? Just like that, just an absolute thumbs up thumbs down rating? There's telling me politely, professionally and helping me better my style through constructive criticism, then there's bashing and hating and trying to tell other's I'm very bad and should be hated. I'd like to improve, not be shot down. Really, I didn't know all this hate for me was building up behind me, and it scares me a bit... Maybe I'm just very naive, but it's been bothering me to no end, the hatred. I'd just like to know for sure really, am I really that awful and irredeemable in my work that I should be shot down and everyone go to the next artist? It really pains me so much so see this hate being posted on a blog like that, where apparently only the worst of the worst is posted. Am I the worst of the worst? I won't continue if it "hurts" people. I never meant for that. I never knew it was THAT awful :( But really, do you guys think that I am THAT bad...?


Sorry for that little rant. I just REALLY wanted to get it off my chest and I really want to know what your opinions are. Do you really hate me? And am I really that awful? I'd just like to know for sure...

There are a lot of assholes on the internet. You know why? Just because they're behind a screen, they think they can do anything and not be punished for it. They refuse to think about how other people might feel. It really pisses me off.
