Question to All of You~ (Patreon)

Hello Everyone and Welcome to September once again.
I'm coming to you today with an open question where you can be as detailed and honest as much as you want.
Has my popularity really dropped this year significantly, or is it just my imagination? Do I draw worse than before?

I've noticed ever since this Spring, that with each new pic I upload on Twitter, I receive less and less likes/shares/and basically almost no comments, even though my follower count was still going up (thankfully, Patreon has been more stable). To me, these numbers are my only means to get a feedback and my only real way to connect to you, so I experimented around for months, sharpening my skills, trying out different stuff to see what works and what doesn't, but whatever I tried, the numbers just kept going down. This lead to my conclusion, that something is fundamentally wrong with me or my works. I've asked friends and friends of friends, everyone said they've actually thought I improced and hear my name among their groups of friends, so we were brainstorming for months but no one could find any reason that would really hold up on such a big time span. 

I've been really depressed in the past few months because of that, I don't think I changed, if anything I really finally got used to drawing on a tablet and practice a lot, but the reception was usually a lot less, than in last Winter or before and starting Summer it became even worse.

Because You All are the first ones who see new pictures and have the first opinion, I wanted to ask you about this too. I'm not going to list all the possible reasons we came up with, because I don't want to bias you.

I've gathered my thoughts and heart about it already and found peace with it today, but I would really like to hear your honest opinion. I'm a human being too, not a factory, so of course, such topics are important to me.

Thank You♥
