Goodness, I'm happy you made this video and that I even found your channel. I'm not the biggest fan of genshin and I actually found you through your redesigns (I think it was the gravity falls one) I love your content and I can see where you're coming from. It's so difficult trying to grow as a artist, knowing that what you're interested in isn't really the thing that'll get the views. It's hard and tiring. Staying in a consistent theme that burns you out. Your art is unique and very amazing. I hope this year will be better for you.
this is literally the realest video that has ever been made and i am so proud of you
I've struggled with commitment to my art but burnout still follows me too.
Your art is amazing and it's sort of funny how you remind me of my art friend. He also has great art but beats himself up for not being perfect
perfect is such a lie and I'm a baby artist! But this really helped me view how to approach social media and art ^^
Okay, bear with me, this will be a bit of an essay.
I know it’s weird to hear this from a stranger online, but I want you to know that I am incredibly proud of you. For a lot, which I will now list. For posting this video in order to share with people real and true struggles, triumphs, and personal details about your life for the benefit of others even though this is content less likely to “blow up” and gain attention. For how far you have come as an artist in skill and how you now have a healthier view of what it means to be an artist. For being required to fail, because if you never fail, you will never improve. For staying committed to your dream, although not always in the healthiest way, but we just went over how improvement happens. For allowing yourself to depend on someone else and listening to what your therapist has to say, actually taking it to heart. And lastly, for how far you’ve come. Any time, I mean any time, that you start to doubt, start to wonder… am I good enough? Aren’t others doing better than me? Is my effort in vain? Think about where you are in comparison to where you started. Think! And be proud of yourself. Know that if you made it this far from where you began, you are fully capable of going even farther. When things are hard and you feel hopeless, know that although your goal is to become a successful artist on CZcams, you are affecting people on the way. You are leaving a stain on people’s lives that isn’t just going to disappear. You have people who support you and love what you do. The number doesn’t matter. If you could change a single person’s life by bringing them joy, as many on this platform do, and that gives them hope? Inspires them? You don’t need to count. You already have the one. And I know it was someone who saw your influence long before me. But count me in. You should be proud that you are on this step of your journey, because there were so many steps before it, and they were hard, and I hope you feel like they were worth it. You aren’t fighting for a place on the internet to buy people’s attention and good opinions. You’re sharing what you love, what is close to your heart, and letting others see it so they can share that love. Thank you.
I only found you this past week, but I love you art and your personality and I'm glad I found your videos
Relatable.
I drew for 100+ hours straight.
I'm glad you got better!
I subscribed right after the Gravity Falls video because your art style was so enchanting! If it is a couple weeks or months late, I will always come back to your videos! Love what you're doing!!
I am a small gachatuber (and author) and I only 14. This video nearly brought me to tears because everything you said was so true to me. It always felt like I got the short end of the stick and often times, I wondered what I'd do with my life. Your story inspired me. Thank you for that because seeing someone who is going through a similar problem and getting better from it is so refreashing and eye opening. Thank you
Okay 1-Lowkey, same.
2-I had a panic attack at in public last year and it took me hours to calm down.
Your channel makes me so happy.
Thank you for being honest
Panic attacks are so scary in the moment, I can't imagine what it would've been like to have one in public. I'm glad what I said resonated with you!
@@VildrArtTM I have autism and went to therapy for three years, stopped, and it happened.
But hearing you talk about this made my day, especially since people assume every autistic kid is the same.
Clearly I’m not.
But thank you for replying!!
Also I need to finish this before my iPad dies so byeeeeee
im so sorry u had to go through all of that and im proud of you for where you are right now. it's always very heartfelt when a super mega amazing artist that feels magically able to do all this gorgeous art actually did this through pain and struggle, because i also struggle with mental health and relate to the problems about wanting to feel productive and being jealous of people who are better than me. you never know what someone else is going through. so yeah this is my way of thanking you for making this video
I'm glad it struck a chord with you! It's so weird how we always think that we need to get to a certain skill level and then we'll feel good about our art but thats just not the case.
I'm super proud of all your efforts, and I'm glad that I ever found you in the first place!! 🥰
you are seriously so skilled, i love your art style and can't wait to see more of whatever you cook up -whether it's redesigns or oc art(yes please)- i know i will love it. thanks for all the work you put in your videos, they are awesome and you deserve so much more.
People always make mistakes and its okay❤ because you can always learn from them and the mistakes help your art better💕 also i hope you feel better and i hope you get the rest you needed 🙏😊
I found your channel by chance with your gravity falls designs❤❤ and damn this was inspiring😭 it’s hard to be here on CZcams man. Also the Scaramouche art is fire ❤❤ all the artworks are!
Also, the part about the old channel and videos flopping. That was a lotta videos for me. But I did take a step back and realize my old content (it was gacha studio content that was popular besides my old art videos) weren’t for me. So- yeah. I’m in a better place now! :D
I found your channel when you published gf redesign and I’m addicted to your work since then. I’m glad you’re feeling better, you deserve every view and subscriber and so much more !!!
I love your vids so much and im so happy you’re taking care of yourself
I just realized how similar we are, and thats nice i guess..?
Also, I'm glad you're taking time for your mental health because I could hear it in your voice cuz I have the same type problem.
I had to delete my old channel that have like a hundred subscribers because of my health and the stress.. I'm proud of you because you still want to follow your dreams.
Unfortunately I don't take therapy because of the bills and I really can't because of my social anxiety. Enough of me just ranting about how terrible my life!
I'm very glad that you are reaching your dreams and trying to take care of your mental health while being an artist who has amazing skills and talent with apparently underrated (my opinion) always remember take breaks and when you get over anxious or nervous. Just stop take a moment watch something or get something to eat it helps me also I can't wait to see what you do next!
[Sorry for bothering you lol]
Your arts is so cool and im always so inspired to draw more while looking at your videos, and lately i have been feeling like i cant do anything anymore but this gave me more motivation and your videos are amazing :)!
hii nice to be here !! I'm a new subscriber but my god this video almost made me cry lol. no fr will i get what you mean so much bc I'm feeling the same thing: I'm in art school rn and feels like all my friends and peers are light years ahead of me and none of my efforts are enough to become a "real artist". because of this your words truly resonated with me so thank you for sharing your experience and advice. I also want to say that your artwork is amazing as well as the contents of the channel. I truly believe that you're gonna succeed so please never give up !! the best is yet to come
oh my god. i cannot believe i haven't found you sooner. you are my absolute role model, your art is genuinely incredible. you have single handedly gotten me out of a horrid art block, just by uploading timelapses of your art. i wish i could be a hundred thousand views by myself so you can get the recognition you deserve.
@@VildrArtTM do you think you could do a hair rendering tutorial? i love ur art
It's good to see someone who can deal with all this better than me, it's comforting in a way.
I hope you'll be able to learn to deal with it better in the future! If I'm able to do it, you are too 💜
Hopefully you get through the burnout and can start feeling motivated again! I’ve been feeling burnt out a lot lately, due to having taken on wayy too many MAP projects, as well as too many studio art classes at a time. I found that working on personal projects has helped with the motivation, though it’s still a struggle with the rise of AI art. Best of luck to you!
Keep in mind that its always fair to drop out of MAPs as long as you let the project hosts know! Your health is more important
@@VildrArtTM true, true! I’ve done that a few times, but I try not to since it turns out it’s easy for my work to not be used in the final product due to technical or miscommunication errors
Most of the time people who have video everyday have team but its just you so don’t be yourself up about it and if you don’t post all your followers will be there I promise:D
This video is honestly so relatable I was in the same place in 2023 and I agree that it is difficult to fully make your art a career and it can be discouraging when at the point you are at it seems like it would never be true especially if it’s something you love so much, and I can agree that burnout is absolute shit and it can be tiring to be telling yourself that you’ll never be good enough because of anything you see wrong with your art, so I just wanted to say you’re doing great and I can’t wait to see the things you’re going to make in 2024 your art has been an inspiration to me in the past year just from how pretty I think the rendering is in your artworks.
(Also sorry if this was long I just wanted to comment some of my personal thoughts on this topic)
This sentiment is really real with so many content creators and I relate a lot to what you said and I really love what you said about being on the path and we will make mistakes
I was a fairly new subscriber on your old channel and when I didn't see any new videos or posts I was like 'oh, okay, something is not right here'
And then CZcams recommended me your new channel, which I am really grateful for
Your art style is...totally amazing! I really like what you do, keep up the good work!
Amazing work as always, your work has always blown me away. Thank you for sharing your experiance, you are an inspiration to me and I can't wait to see what you make next
After watching this video I couldn't help but actually relate 100% to your situation, I'm not better and am at the worst point. You managed to voice things I'm unable to and felt heard at last. I'm glad you are doing better these days and hope you'll get stronger than before.
Thanks ❤I needed a break and someone with similar issues I make crochet things and most of the time they don’t sell I have things years old that everyone looks at but never buy even if I put it really cheap witch invalidates the amount of work I put into it I’m at a market at the moment and just needed a break!
I just want to tell any content creators here, big or small, if you ever feel like you aren't getting enough views, subs or likes.. Try to image all the people who currently follow you.
I usually feel like 500 subs are so low especially compared to people Markiplier or just a old friend I had(he had 15k+ subs) But then, I try to imagine all those people in a room and I remember that 500 is roughly the amount of people that are in my school and I think "woah that's crazy all those people want to watch MY content?".
Idk small though
Yeah thats so true! We we're recently driving through a town and I was thinking about how big the town is and how there's "only" 40k people living there, which by todays standards wouldnt even be a big social media following anymore. Numbers are weird man!
This is the first video I've seen from you and i've just gotta say that your artstyle is so pretty and I really love your persona's design!
Kinda wanna hear about the artfight tho 👀
It sounds really interesting, as a story and an event
Hi! As someone who has posted mostly oc content on yt and as consumed ridiculous amounts of art videos on essays. CZcams algorithm vastly favors IP driven videos compared to OC or original content. After being recommended your gravity falls video I found your old channel through a little digging and have loved binging those videos! CZcams has fails to recommend your videos to the audience that would enjoy it.
Plus art youtube audience is quite small compared to other genres. Art CZcamsrs who are able to get consistent numbers are because they have built up a trust audience.
What I’m trying to say is don’t compare your self worth to how many views it gets because it’s greatly dependent on the subject rather than the actual contents which fucking sucks! I am blown away by your video quality and art, I know you can find your audience!
This is so fucking relatable omg
Very epic video :). i like the new expressiv Will pngs. I can relate to the mental stress of not getting fast enough to the place where you want to be. I hope you manage to stay healthy during the next year and create more awesome Art :)
Yeah I hope so too! And thanks, I'm very happy with how the sprites turned out hehe
I l9ve ur ar5 sm ❤
That was a great video and maybe you should use it as a reality check ! Kind of a checkpoint of last year and what you've accomplished so far ?
It's okay to not be the best right away, no one ever accomplished that anyway ! It's okay if you forget how to draw sometimes. It's okay to be lost too... Basically it's okay to feel bad sometimes, the point is to not feel bad ALL of the time !
Funny enough the hardest part is to start ! (I myself suffer from that, I wanted to make an art channel as well where I talk over my videos... didn't even started yet, because Im too busy in life). I've been burn out of drawing all of this 2023, and now I start to draw again. And to be fair, your videos are one of the reason. It's gonna sound silly, but you inspired me to draw more humains. Im a furry artist, always been since im 12 (im 25) and I created my own Genshin OC to RP with friends a month ago... And god damn the first draft was ugly. And your style is pretty much what I insipre to have myself ! I won't copy you ofc, but I really need inspiration for my art style because realism is boring, my style is more cartoony/anime. xD
And isn't that funny that if it wasn't for your struggle, your burn out, etc.. I couldn't be making that compliment, you'd be one lost artists amongs dozen that I would had never found, neither knew existed ! So I understand you stress over numbers, because medias are trash and want you to see big, but if you had all of the people you already have rn, put them in a room so they can tell you of the smalest impact you had on them, with just your art !! You'd see you are supported and numbers doesn't matters, people do ! You matter !
Thank you for your struggles, even tho' we don't know each others and all you did what do what you like, but you can be proud of yourself already !
Keep going, don't give up on your dream !
Thank you! I'm glad to hear my style is inspiring to you! Funnily enough I'd love to learn more about how to draw anthros and animals in the future bc I feel like it's a really nice exercise in stylization.
Off topic but i love your voice❤😂. Also the first video i saw was your Gravity Falls video which you had newly posted (?). I loved your art style and immediately subscribed to your channel and I'm happy i did that😊.
Throughout this entire video I thought of a meme(?) that my sister had shown me: “roses are red, violets are blue, there will always be an Asian that is smarter than you.” Which really applies for everything. There’s always going to be someone that is better at anything you do, so all you can do is do your best. (There are probably so many grammar mistakes in this…)
23:50
They might not be perfect? I think also from your therapist you are in desperate need for glasses bro, perfection exists even in your sketches😅
Cool video :3
(My head hurts I can't think of how to phrase my comment but I think the video was very uh
Informative??? Idk man)
im just now relizing how small this channel is i thought it was wayyyyy bigger
Is this a sign for me to get a life bro?🤨🤨
YOUR A GUY?????
So glad you made this!! I’ve been feeling burnt out trying to keep my tiny channel going, and I especially relate to the feeling that other people can work so much longer than me and not feel as bad!! I love your work, happy 2024!!
A problem a lot of us have is that we compare the kind of work we do to "normal" types of jobs which are completely different. An office worker does different things compared to a construction worker. Both can be hard jobs in different ways. Both can be way too demanding for what the people are being paid. The typical 8 hour work day is often either unhealthy for people or a lot of time out of those 8 hours isnt spent actively working. I couldn't imagine drawing for 8 hours a day regularly, that would probably kill my creativity and physical health in like a week! Overall I'd say I can manage to do around 4ish hours of focused work daily (on weekends too, i am so bad at taking regular off-days) and a lot of that work isnt even drawing. I script a lot, i do thumbnails for yt, i record and edit or i educate myself on business stuff. Theres some days where i dont work at all because i dont feel well and there's some days where I work almost the whole days because I feel like it. I guess I can be grateful I get to work like THIS instead of working a regular 9-5 and being expected to perform a certain way every day! I get to go at my own pace, I just have to accept that it's okay to do so.
I just wanna say I saw your comment and went to ur account and your stuff is so nice don’t give up ur stuff is great❤
@@Kymddd3753 Aww, thank you!! ✨✨
