Calling my stardew farm "Kommie farm" as a joke was the best decision i ever made because it leads to some hilarious cut scenes

Tbh whenever i get anxious about not drawing for a while i remember artists like Jackson pollock, whod take 6+ months long breaks from art before creating some of his most famous works.

Sometimes ur brain needs rest to think, to process, to learn, etc., so you can later bring those experiences to paper. The mindset that u need to constantly be improving, honing ur skill and be as productive as possible is probably less of an actual art thing and instead a result of capitalism. It sure has a lot of similarities to hussle culture and sounds more like sth a mashine would do.

(ofc consistent practice can lead to a lot of improvement when it comes to a hobby, but it just doesn't work for everyone, especially when it comes to creativity. As someone who has a lot of classical musicians in his family ive seen the damage that that kind of pressure can do to people when they are required to practice for hours on end every day of the week for years, unable to take breaks without feeling guilty.)

I genuinely think the idea that if you should draw a little every day or you'll suffer skill degradation is a total fabrication. Some of the best art I've ever drawn has been coming back from long breaks. I'm talking like weeks. Sometimes you just gotta reset and flush the systems. There's no shame in it. Take breaks. The art will be there for you when you're ready.

Gem with a deadly trident for @hermitadaymay!!! Augh the hair turned out so beautiful :3

[ghostyclay]

I did sth silly and it looks kinda cool and now i regret not doing it earlier >:(

Silly ahhh sketch for @hermitadaymay outfit swap, bc i have 0 energy left after all these finals (daily 5 hr long exams r… too much for my poor poor brain…) BUT I REALLY REALLY REALLY NEEDED EVILX TO WEAR THIS OUTFIT!!!!! not like i alr draw him wearing zeds clothes all the time anyways

[ghostyclay]

I. I think ive drawn evil x wearing wormmans/zeds clothes more often than their own.

[ghostyclay]

I JUST REALIZED I NEVER POSTED THIS???? I swear i remember showing yall this. Anyways, as u can see its old evil x fanart from 08th September 2024, the hermit-a-day outfit swap prompt reminded me of it bc hes wearing Zeds clothes in this!
