I'm frusturated with my gallery and my art. I hate everything I create. What am I doing wrong? What do you want to see me draw more of?

I need advice. I'm lost and I don't know what to do.

Hey your art isnt bad, at least its better than most like mine for example '^'
I want to see you happy with what you create. I want to see.. you make your best piece of work!

What do I want to see from you? You drawing art that makes you happy, I love everything you draw, but I also understand where you're coming from.

I hate my art and gallery as well, it's frustrating finding no satisfaction in yourself but that's why we're our own worst critics. Look at your art and pick out what it is you don't like

Is it the shading? Try a new shading method (cross hatch, cell, etc...)

Is it your anatomy? Study anatomy with some google images, I've spent hours studying anatomy, even if the creature is fantasy, I look up the animals it's mixed with. Do some rough sketches of anatomy off of what you're looking at.

Also for me, it helped to study what others are/were doing, I'd watch their playbacks or YouTube videos to see how they shaded and did their own anatomy for creatures and it helped me get where I am now

Blood's basically said it all. I absolutely love everything about your art, but if you still don't like it, then maybe do some exploring and change what it is that you dislike.

I agree with Blood, I want to see you draw something that you're proud of, something you don't feel ashamed of at all, it would make me so happy to see that :s

Me, personally, though, I think I'd like to see more full body pictures of your dragons, like Macgyver, even if it's just a simple reference. One thing I always love about your artwork too is the vibrant colors, you always seem to blend the colors in such beautiful ways :3

Everyone above me has basically said everything I was going to say and more DX
But I want you to know that you make some of the most beautiful art I have ever seen, and it sucks that you're not happy with any of it. But I don't want you forcing yourself to make something you won't be happy with.

If I can give any advice I'd say just try to play outside your comfort zone, or try something new. (I've found a new love for making lineless art for example). Just play around and see if you'll find something that clicks.
I've seen that a lot of you characters are made strictly for roleplays, maybe you could make a character so you could play around with them and test out new styles or drawing methods. I dunno, but I really hope you find something that makes you happy.

Also when did you want to do Mina part of the vision? I don't want to rush you or anything and I know you just when though a lot to.
