Mindfang / Homestuck

Mindfang / Homestuck skin description

Mindfang is an alien from the webcomic "Homestuck". tbh, i have felt a little discouraged when uploading my skins. I mean, I spend a long time and a lot of hard work on these skins, and what do I get? I get like, 3 downloads and maybe 3 diamonds if I'm lucky. I know that I've improved, and yet it's always my older skins that aren't as good that get more attention. Meanwhile, people who are making skins that aren't even ORIGINAL get who knows how many downloads. Like, I'm sick of seeing skeleton sweater skins. Like yeah, haven't seen 500 of those since October. I'm sick of seeing skins with really simple or no shading and then it gets like, 50 downloads, while I'll spend 30 minutes shading my skin to get it how i like. not ONLY that, there's been times in the past where I'll make a skin, and someone recolors it and gets MORE downloads than the original. Like I'll have it taken down, but /still/. I'm not /trying/ to sound like I just want attention, but I've always spent a lot of effort in my skins and frankly it just doesn't feel like I'm getting back out of it from what I put into it. it kinda makes me want to stop uploading, really. i might just have to consider it. but, sorry for the rant.
