I feel that way about kids I see out in the world, too, 5 year olds are not all sunshine and rainbows. Too bad you can’t say to their parent, “Hey can I take a picture with your kid to share with my fandom? She looks like the child vampire from the vampire series we love!” Yeah, not creepy at all, lol.
Dude it’s not about the art quality! Don’t do it for the notes. Do it for yourself. You might be being too hard on yourself, you may find your style not as “good” as someone else’s but that doesn’t make it Hella Bad™! It’s Hella Yours.
As with all the arts, like writing, music, drawing, etc., we all have to start at a place of less skill than we can earn over time. For me, humor can supersede technical ability.

//ooc; It’s okay, no offense taken, he just didn’t want to address all the points in your message, he’s not going to spend his time bickering over pseudonyms. Lestat RPers vary in their portrayal of the character, this Lestat is not a perfect warm and loving cinnamon roll to everyone and he takes jabs right in the middle of being warm and loving. It’s part of his charm. If he’s teasing you, especially about your name, when he comes up with such terrible aliases for himself, it means he’s feeling more comfortable around you, because he doesn’t do that with people he openly dislikes.
But there was so much that was good about movie!IWTV!… I know I know, it’s fun to poke fun at it regardless… movie!QOTD was much more cinema sinful. IWTV’s greatest sin was Antonio!Armand but c’mon, ppl who didn’t read the books didn’t know that…
