I'm actually amazed at how many talented artists are out there. It's like I stumble on one, they have five more talented artists as their friends.
This is rather intimidating, though. I'm going to have so much competition when I will finally decide to make a new account and start trying to get commissions...
And you're welcome, you are really amazing at both 2D and 3D art. I hope one day my drawings will look just as professional. ;_;

Hmm.. If you really wanna see your competition you should look at art station. The thing is the market is over saturated with talented people. However if you have the right personality and connections then you're good. Yes you will need to be good too but not at an insane level to get a job. I'm finding now that it takes skill but also social skills too. A lot of very talented people may not be great with that part which makes them lack getting jobs.

Another thing you should be aware of is that comparing yourself with others will actually hinder your progress. I had many college student friends of mine that were so nervously over thinking that and hating on themselves that it stopped them from thinking clearly, made them not do art, slowed them down, and also probably shaved some of their life away. :/ Hell I was part of that too but I realized it's not a good thing to have at all. Life isn't meant to be lived with pain and fear.

The best method to have is to compare yourself to others artists but realize that you will get there one day. Don't expect to be there instantly and realize they too had to take many many years to even have that. Or they had a leg up in the world from getting taught by really good schools or teachers. We all have our times to shine. Don't let the competition bother you and appreciate what others do instead. Just be original and don't take reference from others all the time unless you want to study something.

If you want commissions from here it's even easier. Just be interactive with people. Pay attention to them. Connect with others and put your art Into group sections. Bam you'll get followers which are potential clients.

Yeah, I've read several journals about the fact that connections make popularity, I know this. I guess I'm just kind of disappointed with how average my style looks compared to everyone else, and I just want to stand out. It's kind of painterly, except I paint from lineart instead of painting a shape and detailing it, so it's somewhat cartoony. Not of the quality that a company would want, but I guess it's alright for an amateur who is completely self-taught.
I don't really go "Oh man, I'll never draw like that!" whenever I see an extremely detailed, realistic, and beautiful painting. Even if I doubt I'll ever get to that level, I'm alright with that, because I understand that those paintings can take literally a dozen of hours and that doesn't sound like fun. I just try to replicate some effects on that painting that I like, except through my established methods, so as to improve my own style. Like motion, volume, focus -- stuff like that. So basically, I just try to figure out how to draw as good as possible as quickly as possible, which I guess is what most artists are aiming at.
Yeah, I know I need to start to get out into the community. It's just that, you see, I've observed so many people that do everything to make others upset for no good reason, that it's kind of scary. Ever heard of Zamii070? A bunch of bullies ganged up on her and tried to drive her to suicide, and they almost succeeded. And why? Because she drew a fictional character who is "supposed" to be Black and portly as White and thin. They actually blamed her for Black people getting shot on the streets. :-(
But maybe I just shouldn't go to Tumblr, that's all. :'D

Nah, there's no need to be sorry. It's just whenever I see art like that I wonder if its author has lots of suffering and anxiety in their life. I don't think I've ever drew something that dark, but as a kid I had it very bad both at school and at home, and, well, I think I also had a preference for super toothy and super claw-y and sometimes very violent creatures. I distinctly remember being so misanthropic I've even used to side with Kira in Death Note.
Sorry, I'm rambling, and probably getting nosy.

You get nervous about saying something wrong and them judging you, right? Well, it's that way with me and people in general, anyway. And the funny (or sad, depending on how you view it) thing is, because I get nervous I'm more likely to say something stupid.

Aah, I wish I could be free with my friends... I'm not sure exactly what I did wrong, but two out of three of my friends that I had for over two years -- those three are the first people I thought of as friends, in fact -- have ended up basically turning me down. Well, one friend has blocked me and the other friend just got all icy cold and formal towards me and suddenly rejected all the usual nicknames and silliness I gave him before. As I understand it, the latter friend was more annoyed by my shamelessly "touchy-feely" and kind of needy behaviour than he let me know (out of politeness, apparently), while the former friend didn't even tell me something is wrong before blocking (I'm guessing it's because I flirted with her a bit, she's probably younger than I thought, 'cause she never wanted to tell me her age). :-(
So all that makes me want to stop bothering and stick with Riko, but... I don't really have anything glad happening to me outside of the Internet, so I'm stuck basing our conversations on my complaints about life (basically what I'm doing right now) because I've no other solid ideas what to talk about. I'm very wordy when it comes to text (as you can probably already tell) and he's not, so... Yeah, I'm worried he'll get tired of me.
Yeah, nice to meet you too. If we will carry on this conversation, prepare for buckets and buckets of words from me.

We are the humanity too, and at some times we are also those who hurt others, even if only because we are unaware of what other people truly feel. Which is really heartbreaking to me. Everyone is isolated with their own pain.
Well, judging by the cold friend's words, he tolerated me out of pity. 'Cause he saw that I have issues and all that. Sigh, I'd rather be told the truth right on the spot than years later, it obviously doesn't hurt as much.
But, but I'm still rather baffled by his change of attitude. He had fun with me. He legitimately had fun with me. Either that or, well, he's one of the most pointlessly patient people out there. I'm still thinking that his "criticisms" are more like... well, you know when you're mad at someone, even the small flaws that you didn't really mind before start to suddenly poke you in the eye? Yeah, that. That's why sometimes relationships appear to break because of the pettiest things. I think he's mad at me for some other reason, but unfortunately, he probably won't tell me. And I don't think I have the heart to talk to him if he's gonna be all cold with me like that. 'Cause I remember how nice he was...

The thing is, at first those people seemed to accept me. For a while. And then BAM! We're not friends anymore. I hesitate to get attached to someone, knowing that something like that can always happen and I won't be able to anticipate it. That's terrifying. I'm chronically depressed and anxious and I don't take things like those well.

Well, yeah. Riko has told me he'll be honest with me probably a dozen of times by now. He said that he's more annoyed when I ask whether I'm annoying him with all the complaints about my life, rather than by the actual complaints themselves. Ah, but I'm still nervous... But acting on my nervousness might tire him... And that makes me nervous... Argh! >_>

Ah... But how can I keep searching when every failure feels like a stab in the heart? When I don't know if it's worth the insane pain that I feel every time? In those moments the frustration of not knowing feels like it would tear my head apart and kill me... Sigh... I need some medication, or a therapist, or something... But nobody is going to "waste" money like that, so I have to get a job first and earn it myself. For which I will basically need to defeat my anxiety in the first place. Sigh...

I guess I would be glad that Riko supports me too if I weren't so crazy worried that getting attached to him will also backfire later... My stupid issues...

Nah, it's fine. If you don't mind, I prefer it this way. I'm rather scatterbrained, thinking about a hundred things per minute (badly), so it takes a while for me to focus and compose a decently thought through response. And I also tend to edit even after posting for another fifteen minutes or so. You just do your thing, I can wait for a few hours or days if needed...

Hey. I looked up Onision, and I'm sorry, but Onision seems to be very arrogant. He picks on clearly obnoxious people, but he also seems to pick on people he barely knows about for the most superficial reasons. I guess it's understandable given that his channel seems to be based mostly on drama and that's what he makes money off of, but it's unacceptable to me. Especially when he's ridiculing and insulting depressed, self-harming, and suicidal mindsets:
youtu.be/w3zSpUDf9Jw?t=1m50s
I know that he's talked nicely about depression and suicide in 2012, but he posted this video recently, in March 2016, so clearly he believes that it's okay to treat people with serious mental issues like that right now. I guess you might argue that he's just "joking", but no, he's ridiculing real thoughts that ill people have, not some exaggerated fantastical ones, and there are plenty of his watchers who because of his caustic/toxic "humour" will decide that people who actually have those "ridiculous" thoughts aren't being serious, that suicidal people are doing it "just for attention", and that self-harming people can just "snap out of" their disordered mindsets. And then those watchers will go and ridicule someone they know for having those problems. Not good.
I hope you are not treating him as a role model or something, because the way he treats those heavy topics right now, despite supposedly being depressed himself years ago, suggests that he's either changed for the worse or just doesn't care what to say as long as it attracts views.
I do not want to police you, I'm just afraid that you will adopt his belief that ridiculing people for their mental health issues is okay, or even apply that belief to yourself. It's scary. :-(

yeah thats right i do not agree with 100% thats everything that he is saying and doing thats right but he is one who do knows how to express himself and believe me he saved ALOT of people from cutting and committing suicidal , people always asking him for help yeah i dont like how at the start he will call someone an idiot just because his problems and then maybe will tell why. he more shows the people why their problems. 
yes he hurts people i got hurt in the same way from him when i had a really hard time thats hurts but he do makes sense, he do makes fun on others problems but he do put a logic on that,and he is really dont afraid to tell what he is really think in front of two million people even about the bible and his real opinion about god and his believers. not alot of people have the stomach for that includes me.
sorry but i really cant say to other people about if their problems and life view is good or bad i even cant forgive myself for just who i am all before judging others, i dont rule this way.
dont worry he cant change me, no one can. i lost all this hope and believeness long time ago.

Sorry, I guess I freaked out a bit. :-/ It's just everything I've learned about depressed/self-harming/suicidal people tells me it's horrendously abusive and counterproductive to mock them, so the fact that his attitude has actually helped you and some other people is kind of shocking to me.
But, you know, I still think he could have -- and he proved that he can back in 2012 -- talk about those topics in much nicer ways, instead of misleading some people who never had those problems to think that they are not so serious and it would be okay to mock their suicidal friends or whatever. Even if his harshness helps some people, it inspires some others to go and unwittingly say something that will push someone into suicide. So in the end, he does some help, but he does some harm, except I believe that the harm is completely unnecessary. Although if pure support of some other YouTuber or someone else has failed to help you, I guess you needed Onision's harsh perspective. It's just that I was bullied into chronic depression, horrible self-esteem, and nearly suicide, and now that I actually grew some pride I don't listen to insults because I know that giving in to them would just make me hate myself again. :-/
I'm not trying to judge whether he's "good" or "bad", I'm trying to judge whether he does more harm or help, because more harm = more people suffering = more people getting resentful = worse world for people. Especially when it comes to influential personalities like him.
I guess I'm kind of glad that someone like him can't change you, as in, inspire you to mimick him. Aw, but you still can be happy. Sure, it will take a lot of work and you probably don't have that much motivation anymore, but do you really want to live like this for another 60-70 years of your life?

Personally, I like Markiplier. Yeah, he may have a very dorky sense of humour, but he's very kind and caring (it's especially apparent in his vlogs) despite YouTube being his job. Or maybe because, it's not like people can't love their jobs. He's like one big loud friendly dog.

welp yeah he is doing good and bad at the same time but i dont think he is trying to get poeple to mock the weak once the popele that watching him can see his words in a different way,
he do taught me a few things about life and encourage the thoughts that I thought them before but I was afraid to express.

yeah people can be happy without open their eyes and without reasons to live at all but i dont find alot of this to be happy about at all,its hard to explain but i dont like this world i dont like it at all.
there are just no freedom in the world there are nothing even interesting in the world i dont like my shape the place i live in and most people that trying to hurt others, oh all those human cruelty makes me want to die i feel so helpless when i just finds out myself watching some kind of video or anything like that i see whats happening i know i cant help and i know thats even not the beginning of the human cruelty i just cant...
most of the time im in some kind of "my own world" inside my head,thats the only place i feel free there, and now my biggest reason to live. 
about living the another 60-70 years i even dont know how long i will able to escape reality like that.

markiplier is nice he have a kind voice i like how he always shouts in random times X3
he is funny but somehow my humor closer to "how to basic" this guy can even a bit disgust you but im always dying from laugh in his videos
