Description This, of course, would only be applicable if I even had a stable audience. At most, it's a friend or persistent (single) watcher, or if I'm lucky, a passerby with nothing else to do but catch up in whatever I just submitted.
Am I overestimating my art, or am I underestimating it? I don't know whether to give myself credit or not sometimes. But at the same time, when I'm feeling exceptionally creative, I kind of... stop caring.

But this is rare, I guess.

I like ranting in the description.

I'm sorry to hear you've been feeling down about this >:
If it means anything, I think you've got a great style! I've only watched you a bit recently but it's obvious you're good at what you do  
You've only been on dA for a little while, it seems- 6 months? It takes quite a while to build up a steady audience, but as long as you keep on submitting stuff, I'm sure lots more people will come around! 
Sorry for the longish comment Anyway, hope you have a good day!

Actually, my oldest dA account is 10 years. Ive been hopping around a few accounts with proper notification and all, but uh
I honestly have no idea what it takes to get a steady audience.

most likely underestimating from what I see, however is having an audience to peer at your work something you really want?

Consciously? No. But subconsciously, I have this strange want to be noticed. It feels a lot more satisfying when I'm straining myself to perfect something to an audience that is either skeptical or hard to please.

It's probably one of the dumbest way of thinking, since all it does is make me beat myself up at the end of the day.
