You literally had an entire thread where you drew faces and it was super popular. Like dude, you need to stop saying shit like this.

I've had actual artists tell me that though
Well, if you know/think you're not improving, try to improve on whatever it is you have to. If you don't know what, ask for some help. And if people deny you help, fuck 'em, look somewhere else.

Stop letting their words get to you!! I've defended you before but this is the INTERNET. Do you really think that shit matters? Come on mang.
I don't deserve help though because I never listen, my drawings make people literally want to throw up, everything I make is bad and I need to reconsider my hobby
Thats what I've been told by countless professionals, it's time to call it quits

then now is the time to listen. Do it while you're still self-aware, man.

Look at the demand in your facial drawing thread, just because stuck-up "professionals" don't like it doesn't mean it's bad. Also, personally I love your style.
Sorry for this "pitty show" but I honestly feel that I won't be getting anywhere because of this, I'll stop shitting up this thread now

Yesterday I had to put down the dog I've had since I was a little kid. I can't even begin to say how much I miss him, anytime I go upstairs or come home I always expect to see him there, like nothing happened.

Well fuck, I think he may have gone through with it.
Judging by his last few posts mentioning debt and other sorrows, I don't think he was joking around.
Hope I'm wrong.
I watch anime to deal with any stress or depression in my life.
May sound lame, but anime can be rather relaxing for me.

Can't say the same for those kids that got seizures from watching Pokemon
They just need to build up resistance to it.

Here I go again.
I gambled a lot of money recently (only small part actually came out of my pocket).
It has made me go in such a weird circle. It came with its good's and bad's.
So far, in my opinion the Good outweighs the bad, but perhaps its just me trying to conform myself.
I've learned a lot though.

Define "actual artist"

I got a girlfriend thanks to a free hugs sign

How did that happen?

Isn't the whole idea of art that it is subjective? how can you rely on these 'countless professionals' and what they say if that is true?
If your drawings make people want to throw up at least they're gaining some sort of reaction, better than none at all.
[QUOTE=JohanGS;48025330]How did that happen?[/QUOTE]
I'll try to explain it to the best detail I can offer.
So, on that fateful day, I was at a convention. I was dressed as the Hunter from L4D because I am a poor fag and it was easy and cheap to slap together. As you can guess, I was also wearing a free hugs sign (free DELUXE hugs to be precise), because I enjoy making days a little brighter and becasue zambies hugging, amirite?
Anyway, I'm wandering around, being friendly and amicable like an ironic Jesus, with basically every customer being the one to approach me, with at most a moment of consideration first, but at some point I notice a particular cosplayer eyeballing me and my sign. She was Dressed as Saeko from Highschool of the Dead. Picture below alongside how she looked that day.

After I expertly deduced that she was shy but still wanted the DH, I approached her with arms wide. A smile appeared on her face and we hugged for what was maybe a beat longer than most would, though that may have been my fault. As it turned out she was indeed shy to an almost crippling extent, but what with my natural charisma emanating from me like an aura she was apparently comfortable around me. We talked for a while, and we regrouped every now and then and chatted some more. As it turns out, we had a fuck ton of common interests, and was apparently really good at making her laugh, which generally feels good with anyone but it felt amazing with her. Despite my ceaseless bombardments of compliments upon her cosplay, wit, and general looks, she pulled the ever so typical "nuuuu I'm so fat and heavy", so like any rational human being, I called bullshit and dared her to let me prove it by allowing me to pick her up and hold her in the air for 30 seconds, to which she responded by blushing very heavily and stammering. I took this as a yes and needless to say, I succeeded, and it's at this point I should note she has a rather big arse and was wearing a skirt, so I had an armful of lovely lovely booty and I very nearly up-skirted her in the process.
Alas, time makes fools of us all, and the con was coming to an end. Since we both had a lovely time together, we told each other our full names so that we could find each other on facebook, and at the days end, we both failed to add each other. On her part, for some reason I am still not entire sure as to how, she couldn't add me because my profile was private despite the fact it wasn't, and on my part I had forgotten her last name (it's Scottish don't shit on me). So for about a month, despite my attempts to find her, I hadn't heard from her again, and she sort of faded into the distant annals of history; a relic of what could've been. But then, on the day of the 25th of November, 2014, a magical notification appeared.
"Pretty Girl You Met At Convention But Never Managed To Find Again Because Your Memory Is Shithouse Has Added You!"
Long story short, after a week of chatting, she basically had told me anything that hinted she had a crush on me except for explicitly telling me she had a crush on me, basically being a giant shy mushball to any compliment I made and jokingly flirting with each other. One the 30th of November however, I'd cornered her. At some point during the chat, she spouted this weeaboo shit that'd get her lynched in this forum. My kokoro goes doki doki, which basically means my heart beats (for you). Now, I already knew full well what this meant, but I hatched a plan. With all the suaveness of a brick to the face I asked "What the fuck is a doki doki". She of course answered with "My heart beats for you <3" although she most likely did not anticipate what I asked next.
"Does it?"
Since you can probably guess how this ended, I should note we have been together 7 months and are still going strong and happy.
So Facepunch, have I got the smooth?
Yesterday was the first time I've actually played through Doom. (Well, Ultimate Doom on Steam.)
It's been well over 10~ years since I tried playing, but I was too young to appreciate it back then because Halo was my actual FPS I played through and thought the game it was so much better.
I got to say, the game to this day still holds up really well. It is actually the first "classic" game I didn't grow up with that I can actually play through.
I've tried to play games like Deus Ex, Morrowind, System Shock, Duke Nukem, etc. and none of them have been able to hold my interest for more than a day.
I'm looking forward to playing Doom II.

By the by, the Steam version just uses DosBox. Try out Chocolate DooM for a better, but still vanilla, experience.
