>>5855968>I'll admit that I do find a few of the really skilled faceup artists and customizers intimidating.I actually always had the theory that the ones in the "middle" are stuck with being good but not recognized.
Others think they are intimidating or probably get enough comments from others, while in reality neither is the case.
You are either so shitty that other people with zero skills connect with you on the same level, and thus gain lots of followers, or you need to be so crazily good that people simply can't avoid you (like Andreja), especially newcomers.
Nevertheless, you always need that special spark that suddenly pushes you into popularity.
Just being good, friendly and helpful is usually never enough...you either need drama, others pushing you (people with lots of followers of course gain more followers quickly too) or create that certain something that suddenly goes viral.
I personally never thought of skillful people as intimidating.
To me they are just people who put a lot of time/money into their hobby and are thus of course good at what they are doing.
Can't blame them for being less lazy than others.
They still shit, eat and breathe like anyone else, so I don't see any reason to act like they are any different.
Most of them are very humble, and are happy about every comment they receive.
However, I also don't lack confidence and can easily talk to others, even if their dolls look better than mine or whatever.
