I'm sorry if I gave that impression. For ME, ***me*** personally, I have to do what I have to do. There are many other artists (probably yourself included) that don't follow suit to my mindset. That's fine, too. I love Scoot's art, I like yours, and I've loved many other people's in here for their own reasons. Just because I feel pride about what I do and how long I spend doing it shouldn't paint me as a friggin' narcissist. Because I'm not. I understand my value as an artist, yet I give away things for free all the time. Is it to boost my ego? No. It's just because I like people and want to show them how much I appreciate who they are. Does that make me look down on anyone else? Of course not. I just need to produce the way I need to produce."}
