Yes, I think that I do not put much effort into something that I can't get anything out of does show what kind of person I am, to an extent.
What it says to me is that I am cynical, and that I feel like many things do not matter in the grand scheme. The situation is that this is only with things such as this, a fleeting thing that I will not carry with me and will show no bearing on my life as a whole.
When I draw seriously, I spend an hour to two hours on a single drawing alone, and they come out beautifully; I have even been paid good money for some of my drawings. When I play my guitar I put as much time as I can into practicing and play at least two complete songs as well as I can before I put it down. When I'm writing a book I pour myself into it, and yes I've written a few and never looked for a publisher; though I was offered once by a teacher who was friends with one and read one of my books.
The difference for me is that digital artwork is not one of my artistic "flavours". If I feel slim to no joy in creating something I'm not going to do my best creating it, especially if I'm not getting anything else out of it.
I think you could understand the basis of what I was trying to say, and I hope this will clear it up.

Also, please do not talk down to Frost. If you can try to step out of your shoes, he's not the only one who feels as though you've been patronizing me. Other people have mentioned it, my brother even read some of your posts and said, "What the fuck is this kid's problem?". I think you need to be less critical of everyone else; you can't hold people to your standards and expect them to know how they should act or even submit to your standards. People have differing personal opinions, you may understand that, but perhaps you need to let that be the way things are and not work against it. Your word is not law, your thoughts are not gold. To act in a way otherwise is futile and will only prove to make people stand against you.

I'm glad this little event is over with, may it never surface again.
