I feel like my art style might be not preferable for others.

   It's not like the typical kemono style that seems to be the trend while it's also far from the traditional furry style. That's exactly what I intended with my style. I wanted it to be somewhere in between the two major styles.
  However, trends are trends for a reason...
My art style might be lacking the power to charm people. It's not even about the numbers of likes at this point, but I feel like my arts can't even hold sights of people onto it for more than half a second.
  As an artist... it hurts me more than anything to feel like my arts I spent so much time and effort on are simply getting ignored and scrolled through by thousands every hours.

I'm exhausted. I always tried my best on improving my skill and made sure I'm doing my absolute best on each artworks... only to learn that my arts usually don't even get noticed at all and barely get like 2 likes on Twitter. I'm broke because nobody commissions me. I don't feel joy drawing anymore. I don't know what I'm drawing for anymore...
But thank you for the kind words. Now I know there's at least one person who cares about my arts.

I don't think there's anything bad about my arts. But I feel like there's anything good neither. It's been proven by that my arts barely get any attention and that I rarely, raaarely get any commission. I don't know what to do anymore. I feel like I've always tried my absolute best. I really cannot try harder than that.

You deserve a hug! You do have good art skills, and your style is cute. First and foremost draw for yourself, and don't let the tough art business get you down.

You could try some YCH stuff - some have success with that approach.

Thank you. It just... often feels too lonely and miserable to draw while knowing it's gonna be another artwork that gets ignored no matter how much effort I put on it. Literally, as soon as I post a work on any social media, it refreshes the page and shows me artworks of others that have like over 1k likes. And the reality hits me hard like a truck, the reality of that I've gotten about 400 followers on Twitter since 6 freakin years ago, the reality of me being broke and not getting any commission..

Hmmm... it's odd, your ability suggests you should have way more attention by now, but looking at your style... I guess I do see maybe what the issue is. You have unquestionably high execution, your lines are extremely clean, your shapes are well-defined, your shading is light-mapped properly and well-blended where needed. You have the skills, clearly.

I guess what I end up asking as a viewer, is... why the lines are the way they are. They're technically perfect, but they're so thin they don't really add anything. With that level of execution I would expect you to have moved onto full-on digital painting with a lineless style and all of that. Or, to introduce more dynamic line weight to your characters (at least on the outside borders) to induce a much more bold look to them. Or do more interesting ink work, hatch shading, comic book style stuff, that kind of thing. I guess it feels like you're caught in a middle place between a lot of other more interesting possibilities, that extra 5% that would add a ton of flare to your work. As it is, it's technically perfect, but stylistically kind of bland. Nothing's exaggerated or understated.

I hope that made sense.
