Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.
Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.
Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

By the end of making this work, I... I just got frustrated. It looks not bad and so on, but you can't make real money with such quality, I have to attract people somehow, I have to impress people. And I want to be better myself, in terms of quality. Problem is that my skills end there, and I'm not good at learning new things

MemberDon't beat yourself up too much! Your artwork is far better than anything I could ever draw. If you want to attract and impress people, perhaps give them something they rarely ever see, or maybe something they haven't seen at all! There are some unique character traits and poses out there, you just have to go looking for them. If you're concerned about your art style, everybody has their own. Some people use Blender, some people use Procreate. Whatever you use, your art style is fine!
Make sure you don't overwork yourself. The last thing you want is to feel burnout, so make sure you don't get too fixated on trying to make things perfect. We all make mistakes; it's something nobody can really avoid. The best thing we all can really do at the end of the day is try and just better ourself, and while progress may be invisible, it's never truly gone. Hopefully you do end up getting enough money to support yourself and your passions in the end, so best of luck with that.

MemberI'm a little late in replying, but thanks for the support! For now, I plan on doing only what I'm interested in drawing, rather than trying to chase views and drawing NSFW art that's boring to me. We only live once, and if there is a fire in your soul that drives you to your dream, it's worth it to keep trying
