Been there. Happened a couple of times...
To reinforce this quotation, I would like to share this. Give it a look!
And back to the topic: As artists we can't control everyone's perspective or opinion. Internet "educates" more people to see more stuff/improve visual library. It's also easy to comment with a comparison to other artists... So, don't bother with it too much and keep doing what you like the way you want!
EDIT: Aw, jesus. This thread is 2 years old! Sorry for bumping it, lol.
