Am I a poor-quality artist? (your opinion needed)

Journal Entry: Tue May 22, 2012, 8:13 AM
Hey guys,

Often I ask myself, if I my artwork is so bad or boring that I rarely get views, comments and faves. At the beginning, years ago I created a lot of pics, which I showed here. I wanted to be seen by others, so I worked true to the motto "quantity rather than quality". But since my skills are getting better, I only show artwork which satisfies me and which I think its good enough to be uploaded into my galleries.

Often I'm really disappointed about the lack of views, comments and faves. I admit that I'm not the kind of artist which creates a lot of nudes, big boobs-pictures or extreme cute stuff because it's simply not my personal style and I don't wanna copy other artists or styles just to become more popular. I invest a lot of my rather  barely free-time into creating artwork, because I love to be creative and creating art with Poser & Photoshop and taking photos is really important for me to stay balanced.

I can't get better if I hardly get feedback by others. Even if my pics are so terribly ugly, bad and so on, I'm glad and I really want to get constructive critics, so that I can become better and better. But without feedback I don't know what I can make better. So please give me feedback, criticize me, if I show my artwork it's mostly for this reason. I also admit that I'm glad about comments where people only express how or that they like the pic, but I rarely get feedback in any way. I submit my work into a lot of groups that it can be seen by a lot of deviants, but it don't seems to help. So what can I do to get more input from others?

Thank you for reading this.
Greetings from a really frustrated artist.
