Myself, but I love hearing other people's opinions and critiques.

at the moment i'm really doing it for myself, sure i like to know what others think of it and yeah it makes me happy if others like it and if they don't i might wonder why they don't like it, what i could have done different so that people do like it.

but when i make somthing i do it because it makes me happy, it's something that i want to make and i want to have it look a certain way couse i like it that way. it not about other people, at least not anymore :P

(sure there are some exceptions (sp?) but that's really mostly for collabs or when i'm actually making somehting for someone else..)

I really do it for myself, but it's always important to me to know what other people think about my work especially if I know these people would tell you if I can improve something or to the next project. it always help. :)

I definitely do most of it for myself. If I kept all the pictures in my head IN my head I think I would go bananas.

Err. More bananas.

oh gosh, I have been going through horrible "funks" as I call them where I just feel like my art is completely unworthy and its so awful... Then I realized that I'm focusing too much on making my art for other people that I was beginning to loose what art had always meant to me...

So I'm trying to focus less on other people and more on art for myself. I will focus on how other people like it if I choose for it to be a career though.

I hate the cliches and tendencies to do the same things everytime, that's why I prefer do it things that I like regardless of what others think.

I have to be honest, a lot of it is for myself, but other peoples opinions of my work does mean a lot to me. I use it as a kind of guidance to whether my work is improving or if I'm doing something that doesn't look as visually pleasing.
