To be perfectly honest, it's not fulfilling anymore. I got into art for the wrong reason in the first place. because it got me attention as a kid when nothing else did. Like, I was the kid in school that would pretend to shade a picture I had been done with weeks ago, just in the hopes someone would look at it and talk to me or tell me something positive. After I graduated from art school and realized, "oh, this is a terrible degree. I've wasted my time and money," I started learning to cook and rolled with that as a career. Tried to keep art as a hobby, but occasionally some of my art got stolen and reposted, even saw one picture on a fan-made shirt on a band's website. Did what I could to stop the theft, but it's near impossible to track down every instance of that stuff. I also found myself posting paintings I had worked on for days get no attention (likes, comments, shares, tags, notes, etc.) and I'd turn around and see a single mom post a picture from her kid's coloring book that she colored in and that shit got tons of attention.
Like I said, I was in it for the wrong reason so I got discouraged. And after I saw that posting my stuff netted me nothing but someone stealing it got them everything, I just quit sharing for a few years entirely.
Last big art project I worked on was in 2014 when I made a pilot episode for a ninja comedy cartoon a friend and I had been working on. We were talking with Cartoon Hangover (Adventure Time, Bee & Puppycat, Bravest Warriors, Fairly Oddparents, etc.) for about 6 months, and I mean constant correspondence, to make the pilot. As an aside, we also talked with [adult swim] long ago, like 2008, and we sent an official pilot but it was rejected (was really bad). Got to talk to Doc Hammer and the 70/30 (Archer, Sealab, Frisky Dingo) guys so that was cool. Anyways, once we submitted the pilot package, they replied back in 5 minutes, told us it was too long and not kid friendly. That wasn't particularly true since we were working on a PG-13 cartoon and the pilot document was 73 pages long, 1 picture per page. So basically they didn't read it. Supposed to be making another pilot to upload direct to YouTube but I'm having a hard time convincing myself to produce it.
