"Be true to your work, and your work will be true to you." ~ Charles Pratt.
Not just fancy words. While I am bringing up my own ala mater's motto into this discussion, there is a message that resonates with me to this very day since I walked out of that school with my BFA that should resonate with you.
You shouldn't have to be down on yourself because no one is following you right from the get go. The more important thing you need to recognize is that you need to make your work, no matter if it's art, a game, a book, a song, or a 3D model. Whatever it is you're working on. As long as your making the work then the rest will come naturally and the more people are likely going to follow you.
Don't be one of those people who seeks fame for what you do. I get your struggle, but the more you interact with people like a normal person and build on those relationships the more likely that you will improve your chances of getting people to recognize you. Might take a while, but it will serve you more in the long run.
