Edit: Welp my point was proven once again. Seems someone that dose alot of boxing art for one of the people I listed offred to draw for me for free, that made my day...but then it went back to normal. I've had an idea for a new outfit for Mary, nearly the same thing sept shorts to look that of those that girls in japan wear for gym glass in school and straps connecting her long boots to her shorts, no big deal right? Well to this one person it was as they marked it as fanservice and turned me down. Now did this put me down? You bet it did. Sure I'm willing to back down as I'm not going to force an artist to draw anything M or adult rated if they don't do that stuff...but this was teen rated if anything much like everything else they do. Now they could have just said it wasn't their style or something and I would have left it at that..but to call it fanservice when it was not that at all sort of got me angry...but not for very long. I came across:iconsystememotions:and asked her the very same stuff...and guess what...she's more than happy to do the art, granted I have to pay DA points so its not free like the other person BUT she didn't think of my idea as fanservice at all, was very nice, isn't charging a ton of points like some I've seen (2,000 for a picture, really?)and I think she even liked my ideas a bit so while one was free but put me down I found someone that isn't free but very considerate.

No I'm not talking about Shadow Man from megaman or Shadow the hedgehog as I like them both...come on, they are badass and you know it. No, I'm sick of being in the shadow of other people because of fans or popularity. Now this isn't to say I'm angry at the people with the fans or popularity, hell no seeing as most of them are close friends and I would honestly be pretty lost without some of them..or would have ripped my hair out long ago when stress really got to me, but after so long it gets really annoying being over looked...now thats not to say its all the time, I do have friends BUT its like a selective thing with this, mostly with the boxing trend is where the problem is.:icongreen-legend:is one of my best friends online and they have been so great to me over the years...however, I've been stuck in their shadow for years but they are not the only one.:iconyuukimmd::iconmuryoken::iconmastersaruwatari::iconblu-the-tiger::iconvexedzero::iconnakajimachie66:and even:icongexon:are far more looked at than I am. Granted most of them are VERY good artists so I can understand why for that and some of them, who I've talked to anyway, are very nice people but still feel overshadowed by, that isn't to say I hate them because I don't. At one point I thought the OCT thing might help, get more people seeing my stuff, looking at my characters and whatnot but that hasn't helped at all as I barely have anyone looking or reading my stuff in those. Now I know what some of you might be thinking "What about Meagan, she's so cute that everyone likes her" Well yeah that is true BUT there is a bit of a thing there as well, see I co own the original Meagan (not the alien princess one) with my good friend:icondigidaydreamer:as he owns Meagan's father while I own her mother, but thats just 1 character that isn't fully my own. I've already went into detail about how alot of people want to see Tammy killed and people also don't like the look of Mayu just because she's tubby with a big chest. Few people like Jessica but those are close friends and no one else, same gos with Mary and the Glock sisters, and no one really cares about Lilith or Deb...well...one person likes Deb but they wanted me to give her to them and I'm not about to do that.

Now some are thinking what dose this have to do with the boxing trend? Well most of these characters are into that sport or close to it but even with the few pictures I get and what stories I write they are overlooked for others, mostly because they are all animals as some have told me and I would go with that...if the problem was just here on DA and it is not, plus lets not forget that one of the people in that group is a boxing white rabbit so its not just because they are animals. With little to no feedback on what stories I've made I can't tell if thats the problem, how they look, or whatever else besides having tons of art that keeps me stuck behind everyone else. I'm in no way an artist as much as I would love to be and I'm just starting out to be a writer so I'm not that great...but I try. I'm I griping too much about this? Yeah I'm sure I am but is it so wrong to be in the light just a little? I'm not wanting to be king of the hill or star of the show, god no. I'd just like to be a little bit closer so I'm not left out and ignored, thats all really.

Edit: Now, just a look at the characters that get bashed or overlooked.
Meagan: Meagan's new outfit at 19 by Blaze150not much to say besides cute.
"Bloody" Mary: A new rival? by Blaze150Meagan double with a twist.
Jessica: Jessica Hawkins reference by Blaze150Who doesn't like teachers when they look like that?
Tera&Roxy:<da:thumb id="328008414"/>Some people like the bad guys right?

Lilith&Deb: Never anything on TV by Blaze150Creepy can be nice.
Tammy: The queen is here by Blaze150She isn't as bad as people make her out to be for some reason.

We already talk of this i think hmm? ;) (Wink)

In your life, you will alwais meet hater, jerk , asshole.
Q:People don't like your T-rex and want to see her dead?
A: What the fuck they have to do in life for HATE a oc ? A really sexy one by the way Love. Do you know them? If you know them, could you RESPECT them after that kind of comment ? No. Do you think the opinion of a nazis, of a anti-gay religious red neck asshole have some value? no you will not. They don't DESERVE to be respected and lisent. So ignore them. Yawn 

Q: People don't like your  SO cute Mayu :o (Eek)
A: Fuck them.  Nana, look what I have and you dont! 
 Really nice and gentle people have this shape. Loot of people can like and love woman of that shape. And in the world, most woman look like this than look like me or a DDD size breast horny girl that just want sex as soon a guy tell "on your knee bitch"
And finaly, let be honnest, most people i meet on fa or on deviant art are not what we can call great athelete. One more time: you don't have to respect people whit that kind of mind. They are hypocritical (Do what i say but not what i do) CURSE YOU!

You cannot worry about all the jerk you will meet, because most people ARE jerk. Nod

And..be in shadow..sorry but. Come on. hmm
Do you really need to be watch by 999 999  people? To be fav 14008 5093458 time?OMG 
You are popular for some people. You have great friend i think. You are a nice guy for what i discover of you when we chat Flirtatious
That all matter. Boogie!


And yeah, loot of people are more popular. So what? In real life i have huge group of friend, in the net i am not know at all. What that change for me? To be honnest, NOTHING (exept for fix stuff around in the loft or my car #1 )

You cannot be in contact whit 999 999 peoples. That bring you nothing. This is just a number, on a specifict website. When you get out of the comptuer, you forget that number. When you do other thing than be on deviant art, you forget that number. Floating

So..to be short (and sorry for my bad english XD)
Fuck all of them exept your friend and people that like you, that care about you Teddy
