Description
Oh good. I'm using fictional characters to vent. That's ALWAYS a good idea, isn't it? and TOTALLY not a way to make them OOC of anything.Ok so this isn't a "boo hoo hoo. No-one luvs me." picture.
As I always do, I tend to post a lot of journals talking about stuff I like, and I'll draw fanart for stuff I like and on Facebook I'll share and talk about inane stuff I'm into or find funny. But more often than not very few people have anything to say about these things. Now that's not really a big deal. Whatever. But for some reason I've had this little voice in the back of my head for a couple of months now where, if I do ANYTHING that isn't like, mlp art which usually goes over well, it pipes up and goes "No-one cares!"
I'll write a journal talking enthusiastically about something and it'll pipe up going "no-one cares about this stupid crap!" or I'll get an idea for something to write about or to draw and it'll pipe up with "Who are you kidding? No-one gives a shit!"
And then, if I do put up something I'm passionate about or I'm talking about something in my personal life and it just goes by without notice, the most common line that goes through my head is "I guess no-one cares."
That little voice is really becoming a problem @___@ and don't take this as my way of saying "PEOPLE SHOULD LOOK AT ME BECAUSE I'M SO DAMN IMPORTANT!". This is me battling with an inner voice that's found a way to really beat me down and make me feel bad. My long time watchers will know I've been having a long battle with my inner voices trying to find different ways to make me unhappy, or doubt myself or just make me feel shitty.
"No-one shares your enthusiasm." "No-one has the same interests as you do." "No-one is interested in what you love to do." "No-one thinks the same way you do." "No-one gives a crap if you're unhappy about this." "You're being narcissistic in thinking it's something worth being unhappy about."
So I drew Discord.
Because at least he's a character with interests and likes no-one in the show cares about either.
Oh hey look! a background! Hory shet!
Sorry for being whiny guys XP I hate complaining about my feels. Sometimes I just need to address them or I'll go nuts.
Thanks for the feature EQD

I love the shading on this, it all blends so well! Especially love the more realistic cotton candy clouds.

I'm sure you didn't rant looking for a pick-me-up, but consider this one on the house. I love what you do with all of these character's that I love. And not just Discord. Just realized all the other awesome stuff you've done and can't wait to have a favorite party with the whole gallery. Keep up the great work!

Are you sure it's just an inner voice and not, like, a bunch of over-zealous bronies complaining that someone they watch on deviantArt would dare to make or to talk about something non-pony? Β Because I've seen a lot of that in a lot of places. Β Those who understand that people can have more than one interest have started to be better about talking the zealots down (or at least attempting to reason with them), but I still see the complaining rather frequently. Β This may be the first thing of yours I've seen, but I still say that you should draw and talk about whatever helps you be the best version of you. Β If that's ponies, great! Β If not, that's dandy, too! Β Whether or not people care about it is their choice and, given your talent, their loss if they drop you simply because of non-pony stuff.

I've luckily never had any real experiences with bronies being mean to me in one form or another. My experience with the fanbase has been mostly positive, so I think it's more an inner thing or something that's reared it's ugly head.
That being said though, I wanted to thank you so much for the words of encouragement

I can't express how much I love this piece. It's, just... dang. There isn't much in terms of content but it's impact is ridiculous.

let me tell you one thing. murder what ever is making that little noise saying "No-one cares!", because i didn't and it was the worst decision i made years ago.

Yeah. The internet doesn't help. We can communicate with so many persons, but we still feel alone. We can have so many followers like you, but you don't know each person, each person's tastes and what he or she does of her life. In the same way, we can express so much easily our thoughts that it result in so much people complaining that you get biased by reading each case. You begin to think only to yourself, to be selfish and others do the same and they don't want hear your problems because they have theirs.
Luckily, not everyone are the same and not everyone are like that. There are still great people in this world wide web. No everyone think only to be famous or like to troll others. For those people who like what you do, what you draw, what you write, it is so great and rewarding to read what they have to say. Some will tell you the truth, but with more tact. Not everyone want to hurt another. For those who do, well, forget them and tell them "You don't like it? I don't care. I did something I like and good at and you just complained. Talk when you will have done the same thing as me and we'll see who deserves the most complains."
Myself I tried drawing, making music and I have a more respect to artists like you. We don't have the same interests, the same tastes, but it makes us different, unique. Trying to make someone love your work can be just a another lost case. They like it or not. But thankfully for you, you have your artistic talent, your artistic tastes and express your emotions with big strikes of pens. Okay.... small strikes of pens.
And this is the case here. We see a different face of Discord, feeling alone. So powerful and yet so alone. Look how he reacted to Fluttershy's kindness and desire to befriend him. He said he wanted to test Twilight to see if he was a friend to her... or maybe... he really want her to be his friend, but does it the.... Discord way.
But I can that you did a beautiful work on this. About what I wrote... I'm not very good at this.

I know exactly how you feel. And while, yeah it feels narcissistic talks about how nobody cares, sometimes you just need to let it out. Also, if nobody care, why would I bother writing this comment, why would you already have more than 40 comments on this giving you love and support? Just let it out, we all have to deal with it.

I know exactly how you feel. I find it helps to write out my feelings, that way I can keep it to myself while still getting everything out.

""No-one shares your enthusiasm." "No-one has the same interests as you do." "No-one is interested in what you love to do." "No-one thinks the same way you do." "No-one gives a crap if you're unhappy about this." "You're being narcissistic in thinking it's something worth being unhappy about.""
EVERYONE FEELS LIKE THAT !
so stop being that boring, and put what you love, create and your passions on the frontline, in the war :Β here on Internet !
and yes, we do care.

by the way, nice Discord, even him feels forgotten andΒ under appreciated.Β

Dude, I totally get that. Everyone does! You're not alone and it's okay to vent about your feelings, because someone does care, whether it's a close friend, family member, or a few of your followers.

Thank you very much
It's true, I sometimes (as in often) but way more stock in other people's opinions than I should. I'll judge myself based on others' reactions and input which really isn't very healthy. I don't know why I do this. People's opinions matter to me, but I don't think I should let it make me unhappy.
Thank you for the kind words and support

It's a little different for me, but I know my interests don't align with most people, and while that's outwardly apparent rather than internal, I still have internal things to work out. This kind of reminds me of that.

Everyone needs to vent. I hope you'll feel better.

THAT DANG INNER VOICE..... it causes a lot of un-needed stress and depression for me..... not only do i feel worthless but it clashes with my need for being humble, that and it makes me socially awkward around people....
at one point i want to vent all my feelings about ME( what i like) ME(how i feel about this situation) ME(that im important too), but at the same time i want to hold YOU YOU YOU in a higher place, the only thing is instead of making me feel alone or no one cares, it makes me feel like everyone is watching me and they will ridicule or make fun of me or call me out on my dumb or misguided ideas
HECK! if that voice wasn't around my entire Deviant Art would be WAY more...... "creative"

I think a lot of people have that little voice of discouragement trying Β to hold them back from expressing themselves and sharing their excitement. Because it IS a major drag when you get excited, only to be shut down or ignored. It's a thing everyone deals with. I hope you start to feel a bit better about this, and that you know that even if it's only one person, there's someone among your watchers that DOES care about your ideas, whatever they may be.
Please don't apologize for expressing yourself. Art is a fantastic medium of self expression, after all.

I feel like that whenever I want to talk to someone about Mononoke.
"Is that that princess Miyazaki thing?"
"No."
"Well then WTF are you talking about?"
"... *sigh* Never mind."

I can relate ...I feel this way a lot too, especially since people give me WAY more views and favorites and comments on my MLP art than on any of my other art. I love cheetahs and I draw them all the time and get little to no love for those pieces, while everyone adores all my pony stuff. So I can see why you're upset and I hope you start feeling better soon

I know how that goes sometimes. I've kind of trained myself to believe more positive things like perhaps no one say it, or just glanced over it and didn't actually take a look at it.

heh, we all need to vent and i've gone through the same feelings so often it isn't even funny anymore.Β basically ignore or push that voice aside and keep trudging along wether you feel good or bad.Β things that you like take a lot more to get people motivated but you'll find fans too. so just keep going.
and nice peaceful scene of discord here.

and thanks. I rather like how this turned out.

yeah. no kidding? it's led me to be very depressed and bitter at times.Β but i still ignore it to the degree that i keep drawing and posting even when i'm not sure it matters. it's worked out to a degree.
and yeah. it's nice, and you're playing with backgrounds again, which is good too

Hey, don't feel bad about venting! There's nothing wrong with it; much better than keeping things bottled up inside, that's for sure."No-one shares your enthusiasm." "No-one has the same interests as you do." "No-one is interested in what you love to do." "No-one thinks the same way you do." "No-one gives a crap if you're unhappy about this." "You're being narcissistic in thinking it's something worth being unhappy about."
And none of that is true, no matter what that little voice might be telling you. Your friends sure care, they are interested in you, and they do give a crap about whether you're happy - and if you're not, they'll not chide you for being narcissistic, they'll help you cheer up again.
This doesn't mean everyone will share all the ups and downs of your life all the time, of course. I'd be lying if I said that your MLP:FiM art wasn't the reason I'm watching you, for instance; but I think you're a nice person, and you deserve to be happy and feel good about yourself.
So there.

Yeah. I feel bad for venting and complaining and I don't really know why. I always feel like I have no right to feel unhappy about things. Especially since my life isn't that bad at all. I have it pretty good compared to some. But I still can't help but sometimes feel sad or unhappy about things. And then I make myself feel guilty for being sad about them.
I think part of it is that I don't vent to my friends really. I don't like to bother people with personal stuff you know? I guess that doesn't really help me with this kind of mindset.
Thank you very much for the kind words 
π: 0 β©: 1
You're welcome.
And don't feel bad because others have it worse, either. There's always someone who does - Zach Weinersmith neatly illustrated this, for example: www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?β¦ No matter what your status in life is, how good you have it etc., your problems, if they are genuinely bothering you, are valid. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Hey man, don't let that voice put you down, what you do is amazing and the joy you spread with every picture helps to bring us all together. Not everyone will have the "exact" same likes as you. However, you are gifted in what you enjoy. If even one person looks at the pictures and says "Wow that is really cool" or " I can relate to this" than that little voice has no voice whatsoever.
