I've seen so many people on dA painting 'popular artists' with the same brush - mean, pompous, rich assholes. I'm so curious, where does this come from? At what point do you consider an artist 'popular' anyway?
It especially frustrates me when people downright say that certain artists are undeserving of the attention they get. That's so nasty. Making a sweeping judgement on someones character over something they have no control over? All the 'popular' people I've ever had the pleasure of talking to are hardworking, intelligent people. And I think that what dA seems to forget sometimes - they are people. Just regular people.

Thanks for all the comments and opinions! Man, so many of you guys have had just awful experiences, and I dont blame you for being wary. It makes me worried for the next generation of people on art sites - ones that see popular artists today as people to be feared, rather than people to be admired. It's an awful trend, one that I really hope can be broken.

Whereabouts
I’m pretty much just on twitter lately! I post my adopts to auction on Twitter/FA, and sometimes Instagram. My twitter handle is keldel_ 👍✨ consider following me there for more art!
Extended absence
Apologies for the extended hiatus.
Honestly, a mixture of work stress, struggling with my own mental health/medication and other new health problems shut me down for a while. But I’m hoping to throw myself back into art and the community with the new season, and am ready to reply to any (still relevant) notes and messages.
Im deeply sorry to all who have been trying to contact me, and I aim to be far more reachable in the future. I miss you guys.
Thankyou!!
Thankyou everyone for the birthday wishes! I knows its been wayyy overdue, but I logged on here for the first time in weeks and seeing all those messages...ommggggggg. I really need to get back on here more often!
LF Some adopts
Im looking for a new child to draw, and Id be happy to pay/trade/draw whatever suits!
I don't mind closed species(obviously) but I really like one-offs and even anthro designs.
If you have something you've been trying to get rid of, and would like some art/designs from me, lets see if we can work something out!
you guys have given me a great big shopping list to browse through, thankyou! SO many cute characters that I want haha <3333

Sadly (very sadly) over the internet popular artists tends to make a circle with each other. They tend to ignore people that are not on their level (artistically speaking) and treat them with contempt.
Heck, more than once I've been treated as an immature loser because of my crappy art.
I think it's sad because even people like me, who will NEVER be pro artists (I am an engineer and I don't have time to study art), should be encouraged. I draw just for fun and being belittled frankly takes away a lot of the fun of posting art on this site.
