i took a break from ig / my art because i was setting expectations for myself n they kept not being met and i just didnt get attention or followers or customers and i pretty much had a mental breakdown over it. it feels like shit.

if you need to take another break from vp and designing, do it. dont force yourself to put time into things that you dont get happiness from

I really like your designs and you're of course good enough to be appreciated! Who we pick for DA is pretty random, and mostly just based on which designer the writer who creates the article has noticed leading up to it, so since you haven't designed as much lately, that's probably why no one has asked you yet. Just please don't base the 'value' of your designs and talent on whether or not you've had a DA article or not, cause there are still so many amazing designers we haven't gotten to yet.

they feel as if their designs aren't appreciated bc they didn't get a designer appreciation on NT
That is not exactly how it is. ugh is that what it comes off as?
No its not just because I didn't get a designer appreciation on NT, but because whatever I did when it came to designing never seemed to be enough for "you guys". 90% of my designs are labelled as trash in this "online community". Even when I did requests, the ones who made them didn't seem to even care once it was done or remotely excited about it.
You know when you make something you think is good, and go off to show people.... and they don't even respond ? it feels really shit
Im not at all good with words so again I'm not sure how this is coming across as

Ugh yea, I do this aswell... way too much. That is true. And the whole shadowban thing has made things so much worse

You're absolutely right

enjoying making art is the most important thing !! stopping caring about what other people think and yearning for the validation of others is hard but i really hope it gets better soon !! you're definitely not alone in this

you're no doubt a skilled artist and a designer but if you're not actively designing or active on vp overall idk why they would interview you
n not like they interviewed literally every other designer than you, there's a loooot of designers they havent done a DA on

not feeling appreciated is a big issue for any artist that puts a lot of time and hard work into their art. it's just something that you have to come to terms with n stop comparing yourself to others because it only contributes to you feeling bad

if you still design i'd love to collab with you btw
Basically this. There are a lot of designers that still need to be done for DA. We do it once a month and sadly there are many amazing designers and we wish we could do you all haha
