@leafypods's post on Artfol

finally up to date with most of my art pieces and doodles,,

I'm taking a bit of time away from certain social medias because yesterday night I had someone use my tellonym to basically insult me by saying "all your male OCs look the same" and "it's same face syndrome" when I mentioned maybe it's just consistency.. it really messed with my head and I'm feeling sensitive about my art atm

ever since I've been getting more traction, I've been more self conscious about what I post.. I never wanted to gain a lot of attention, I just felt thankful to have fellow artists following me and talking to me.. social media sucks sometimes

At least for me, the more I interact with rude people, the more I realize everyone has an opinion.. And there are a lot of idiots out there. So when someone insults me, or someone else about something, I just remember that they're stupid and roll my eyes. I'm not going to take advice from someone who knows they're being rude. Yeah, it still hurts, but it helps take the pain away from internal and focus on the external jerk. It's just a person. One person. Who decided to be rude. Why should one meanie ruin our day, our week, our view of our art? It's OURS.
That person was absolutely rude! It's out of line for them to come at you with an insult (even if they think its constructive 🙄). Also your characters are all distinct enough that I can tell them apart, so I think they just didn't like your style.

I hope your break from social media is good and refreshing, I'm glad you're taking one when you need it!
I'm fine with constructive criticism, but it just came off as a rude comment more than anything and it doesn't help me be proactive or try something new..
