#I wanna draw this but motivation non existent

[lleaudau]

This is what I imagine what Remadora wore at their wedding

[doodledrawsthings]

Do you plan on there actually being a story for soss

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ maybe, most likely a comic.

[bluupity]

Currently reading Ao Ashi for the first time. 100+ chapters in with no hint of stopping the binge and I can officially say that this is in my personal top 3 favorites in sports manga, alongside Eyeshield 21 and Baby Steps. It's got great art, thorough character development + interesting characters, and engaging matches that really gets you pumped!!!

hey hey hey all! happy halloween and happy birthday to me, aaand happy last day of punchtober!! i decided to dump the prompts i’ve done today instead of tomorrow like i usually do because 1, i have rehearsal tomorrow and im gonna be so so tired after, and 2, i thought it’d be better to do it day of bc of the holiday and my birthday, so it’s cool

here are the rest of the prompts, then!

19, hoy quarlow

i'll start with some of the ones i've missed. hoy! uh, i don't think too much of this guy, he's kinda just scrangly grampa idk

20, childhood

this is kinda just a doodle i pulled out of my ass. i think if heike and dragon and narcis were friends when they were kids they'd play like this.

25, kabuki

kabuki i also don't think about very much. but, i know well what it's like to like a character that at most 2 other people feel the same way about, so i shall feed the kabuki fan (and the hoy fan) that i am still certain exists

now for this week!

28, knock out (and also 18, vulnerability but i didn't wanna start with this one so)

so this one's a bit different. i wrote something! in french, so that my poor writing skills can just be chocked up to not knowing french too well! translations will be in parentheses

[gabby has just beat joe in a boxing match. joe lies on the mat, ko'd] joe: « bon travaille! tu me battes! » (good job! you beat me!) gabby: « t’es bien? » (you ok?) joe: « ouais, mais un peu blessé. » (yeah, but a bit injured.) [gabby helps joe get up] gabby: « je n’ai jamais gagné un match auparavant.. » (i've never won a match before..) joe: « maintenant, tu as! » (now, you have!) gabby: « t’as gagné des matchs auparavant, oui?— » (you've won matches before, right?) joe: « euh.. » gabby: « vraiment?! tu n’as jamais gagné?! » (really?! you've never won!?) joe: « non, pas un match vrai. vous élèves, je vous battes car je suis votre coach, mais dans le wvba… » (no, not a real match. you students, i beat you because i'm your coach, but in the wvba...) gabby: « tu n’as jamais gagné. » (you've never won.) joe: « encore! je n’ai pas encore gagné! je crois que je peux gagner! …éventuellement… » (yet! i haven't won yet! i believe that i can win! ... eventually...)

yeah, uh, sorry if the french isn't that great. still learning, yk

29, alice and ape iii (and technically 31, halloween but i have another one for 31)

theyre silly :3 they'd dress up as eachother i believe

30, frank jr

crying i didn't have much of an idea for him. but i do think it is a rare moment when he has a thought

and finally*, 31, halloween!

decided to go back to my roots and draw mahou again! and clown, cuz hes my silly :333 so, i drew them, my two blorbos, dressing up as each other because ermm its my birthday and i can do what i want

so that's it, right?

*oh, this asterisk. the only prompt i haven't done yet is 14, paparazzi. and that's because i want to do an edit for it. but, i haven't had the freetime and motivation this month to make it happen. so, that will come at a later date. can't guarantee when or how soon, but i swear that it'll be a thing. éventuellement.

Tw vent

I'm still gonna take my break but I guess I just wanna get my thoughts out. I'll probably delete this later.

I guess I'm starting to think or realize that I'm severely burnt out or stressed out because of the pressures of social media and being 'present' in the fandom. My creativity over time has tanked and getting motivated to work on my AUs or draw or write is like non-existent. I have other stressors going on irl rn too, but I've just noticed over time the amount of frequent breaks I have to take from social media anymore because of my mental health.

It's not to say I dislike creating fandom stuff or anything. I still love Sun and Moon dearly, even tho my hyperfixation is nowhere near where it once was! I still enjoy seeing what people create! I still enjoy creating things for the fandom!

I guess I just can't help falling into the habit of feeling like I need to be more active, more social, worry over whats the best time to post stuff, compare myself to others, stress over posting sketches instead of full finished pieces. Writing and feeling so embarrassed over what I write. I know it's no one's fault but my own. I shouldn't stress over things like that and create for myself instead of others. I just live off validation at this point from years of drawing for others or money. I rarely draw for myself anymore. Validation makes me want to keep creating.

I stress over my 'inadequacies' of being a slow artist with no spoons and little to no motivation most days or leaving people on read and not replying because socializing stresses me out even though I enjoy it. Saying I'll do things and then backing out of them, showing how unreliable I am over and over again.

Idk fandom is just such a double edged sword to me and is something I very much enjoy and want to participate in, but also i get so overwhelmed with the pressure and expectations I put on myself. Fandom has changed so much over the past few decades and i feel like by not posting im becoming 'irrelevant' within the fast paced hellscape its become. It's frustrating.

Motivation to draw is through the roof

But the amount of art ideas I actually wanna commit to is near non-existent

[butterfilledpockets]

Haha fun question but uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

How does one get to drawing a comic?? Like how long does it usually take? Also motivation?

fun question indeed :D

How does one get to drawing a comic?

I usually start with doodling on paper, jsut quick and simple thumbnails to get an idea of the space you wanna use and the pace of the story. Comic's are just anohter form of storytelling, like learning a language, if you are already familiar with writing (song writing, book writing, poetry..etc) use what you know from there and translate it in your own style. I myself am a word writter, so I started by taking scenes from books, fics, podcasts, animated characters and trying to translte them into comic format.

How long does it take?

from weeks to hours, it will fluctuate, never feel bad about taking longer, every time you enact a process it will be different. The fully coloured comics I did took about about 8 hours each page, since I was doing backgrounds, shading, colour as well as non sketchy line art. But the one I am currently working on (which is greyscale with sketched line art) is taking around 4 hours a page.

Motivation?

I don't wanna say "just get to it" cause that is the antithesis of motivation.

For me personally my motivation is three things:

"I wanna tell this story, and I want to tell it right", I want my ideas to exist in a way other poeple can see.

Secondly, ALL ART IS PROGRESS, every time you sit down and draw, you imrpove.

Lastly, this isn't really motivation, but it's advice that has saved me over and over. "Don't wait until you are 'good enough'", there is no such thing as good enough. I drew shitty shitty eddsworld comics when I was 10, and I kept drawing shitty comics and maybe they aren't so shitty anymore.

There is always someone who is going to happy to hear your story, starting out is tricky, but you got this.

[tomiyeee]

Do you have plans to draw a genshin 5* splash art for

Any of the others? The Mikey one is literally so cool

i am hoping/planning to! i wanna figure out their abilities first (since i at least need their burst for the splash art) and obviously finish their designs, but those take a lot of time and effort to come up with and i haven't had much motivation to think that hard 😭

i have vague ideas abt their abilities, tho in all honesty i don't think anyone but me really cares that much about how solid their non-existent gameplay would be, so really i just needa finalize the designs fjdsklajdklfn

[hangingoffence]

so many questions i have, but i wanna ask about the oc in that unknown soldier piece ur published! who is he? any strong ideas of his character/plot or is he more of a vague oc for drawing purposes? also, any oc uve made for entirely self-indulgent reasons? not for a story or specific idea just 'it would be so cool'/'theyre just like me' kind of motivations

<333 MWUAH MWUAH

His name is Patrick and he exists in the same bubble as Michael and Ronnie.

They all do have backstories but they don't really have like a coherent plotline or a story with a message. They all represent different things. They all have a long long history of being different characters and changing and growing as i grew. There are different iterations of them and these "newest" ones mostly represent my own struggles with adulthood and also they represent my want for male friendships bc ive never really had that.

Patrick form all the three might be the one that I myself relate to the most and the one i project myself most to. He's my fav even if I like almost never draw him <333

Patrick is very quiet and non confrontational. He goes with the flow and doesn't really stick out. He doesn't voice out his thoughts that much and usually gets along with anyone. He's like that one kid in school that you see all the time but don't really know anything about.

He lives with his mother and his step-father. When he was about 12 years old his father died in a car accident, which left his mother depressed and vulnerable. (there's this scene that im debating over where a few weeks after his father's death, Patrick's walking home and see what he thinks is his father at their house's window. He runs in and sees a figure for a second before it disappears. this is just me consuming paranormal content thought lol) His baseball cap was originally his fathers.

When his step-father came into their lives, it was more of Patrick's mother needing a person her age to lean onto and that man taking an advantage of that situation. From the start Patrick and his step-father did not get along. Or more like his step-father did not like him. He became very verbally and physically abusive towards Patrick.

During his teenage years he started drinking which slowly it developed into alcoholism. He also got addicted to painkillers because of his constant headaches. After he turned 18 he immediately left his childhood home and moved to his own apartment in another city. His addictions got even worse when he lived on his own. Though he was able to hold a job, he still found himself being drunk rather than sober.

The main shtick is his struggle with addiction and more directly alcoholism(theres a direct link to finnish alcohol culture in him bc of my background but i wont get into it now). And i like to explore it from Ronnie's perspective. In their 20s they reconnected after having a falling out in high school and Ronnie witnessed first hand the brutal grip that the addiction had on his friend. And knowing that he truly can't do anything unless Patrick himself wants to get better (bc thats the way with addicts they will never recover if they don't want it themselves. you cant force them to quit bc they will go back). Eventually he lost his job and needed to get help from the goverment to survive and to pay his bills and have food. Ronnie at first helped him out finacially but then he realized it's just enabling Patrick's addiction bc all that money he got was spent on alcohol, so he stopped that. But still gave him emotional support but refused to help him out financially.

Through years and years of struggle and after many stern talks with Ronnie, Patrick started to realise his own illness. He saw how bad his health was and how alcohol had fucked him up in every level, he started a recovery journey.

After he got out of the chains he returned back to his hometown and to see his mom. But he was greeted by his childhood home turned into a dumpster. His step-father had left his mother years ago and she was left to take care of herself alone. She had started hoarding due to the stress and depression and had developed early signs of alzheimers. Patrick took her to a hospital and got her some treatment. He struggled with his own guilt of leaving her and letting her get to that stage.

Also he's like the one oc that fears every time i look at them bc they know they will go through some shit

Star Saviour Star Shooter Concept Drawings

Was fun to design. I wanna make animated version somedayyyy... but motivation is non-existent rn.

[idontdanceisit]

So I kinda wanna do fake art assets for a Fnaf fan game cause I don’t know how to actually make games.

So basically I want a fnaf fan game combining mechanics from an obscure game from the 2000’s on Dreamcast Called Illbleed. (If you want to search up what that is Go ahead; I recommend The Illbleed Video by Nitro Rad on YouTube: Which probably made me think of this in the first place. Also warning for the heavy gore, violence, and sexual themes from it, also that game gets weird as Hell and feels like a fever dream at some points. However I wanna like get rid of the sexual themes and lower gore and violence for my fake fan game assets so don’t worry I’m just using mechanics inspired by it. I also have no idea how to make games what so ever! (I only know how to draw okay?) So if I have motivation I can do fake death scenes of all of the playable animatronic characters for my non existent fan game and y’all get to rate my art and my writing skills. Yay.

Also in my non existent fan game you would play as Withered Freddy, Toy Freddy, Withered Bonnie, Toy Bonnie, Withered Chica, Toy Chica, Withered Foxy, and Mangle (who have multiple strengths and weaknesses) who get themselves trapped into a survival horror game ( like actually getting sucked into a survival horror game from a console… because of a certain chubby bear thinking it would be funny to play a cursed survival horror game.) And would have some elements from Illbleed like the panic/heart rate and traps. I have so many ideas to show y’all along with my fake fan game concept art. But it’s basically like almost 2 am for me and I NEED SLEEP ( I think weird stuff like this on the daily btw.)

Edit: it’s finally done, my first character sheet is finally done and now i had to repost it cause I didn’t like the time I posted it. Here’s link to it:

[chlmvqn]

-~ office ~-

description: it's your first day at work, but who would've know that your boss would be your fiance? pairing: joshua (hong jisoo) x reader genre: fluff ; just a cute relationship in general a/n: dk will be appearing here as well!

you stood in front of the mirror as you fixed your collar. you dusted off the non-existent dirt on your skirt and breathed in deeply. you gave yourself a confident smile and mentally prepared yourself. 

today was your first day at work. you never really were the type to have actual physical work, you always preferred editing, drawing or writing. you always found physical work exhausting. you always had trouble with motivating yourself to do something, so this would be an obvious change of scenery.

as time went by, living with your lovely husband– hong jisoo, or joshua, you became a tad bit guilty that he was the only one working for your future family and household. just a month ago. you gathered up a ton of courage and decided to go to work. you always had a decent record back in college, so your application went by in ease. your interview as well flew like a breeze without any problem. 

you snap back in reality, you didn’t wanna be late on your first day, so you grabbed your bag swiftly and rushed to the bus station.

although you had a car, your lover took it to help himself to his workplace. you might be wondering, why didn’t you just go with him? well, you weren’t exactly sure how far your workplace was with his’, and he doesn’t know about any of this. you didn’t tell him that you got a job. keeping this a secret just for yourself was difficult, but you really did want to surprise him. 

staring out the window bus, you noticed how lovely it is to be outside. 

finally, you arrived at your workplace. you asked for assistance from someone on while your desk was located. you found your station and fixed yourself time for comfort. 

you had a couple smiles coming your way, you politely return them back. you sit at your office chair, now doing your work. (i really don't know anything about office work, i'm so sorry).

______________________________

the sound of the door opening captured your attention, averting your eyes to while the sound came from, you see the head of the department standing time.

"i heard that we have a new employee here. do you mind if you give us an introduction?" you give a shy nod to the head before you went to the front.

"wayen, wayen lasnim. i just started today. it is a pleasure to be acquainted with you all."

just after you spoke, you felt someone's presence behind you, their presence felt awfully familiar to you.

"sir? do you need something?" the head asked the man behind me.

'sir?'

you turned your head to meet familiar, heart melting eyes. your orbs widened off the man in front of you.

"oh, nothing. i was just curious to see the new employee in this department."

'this prick'

you sent a glare to him as he simply smiled in return.

"nice to meet you sir, i'm wayne, wayen lasnim.'' you extended your arm which he gratefully accepted. "a pleasure to meet you as well ms. lasnim." his big hands were perfectly wrapped around your small ones.

he leans into your ear level. "or should i say, miss hong." he whispered, hoping no one else heard it.

you turned on your heel, leading back to your seat.

________________________

"ms. lasnim. you've been called by the president." you see a man with a sharp and long nose calling out to you.

obviously, you knew who this man was. you give a quick nod before following beside the lad.

"i didn't know you worked here!" seokmin– or in which you call him, “dk”, exclaimed as he ruffled your hair.

"i didn't know that idiot worked here as well." you sigh as your friend was left in confusion.

"you mean shua?" nodding at the man as he makes an 'o' face.

the both of you talked while walking to your fiance’s office. he opened the door for you as you gave him a quick bow.

"i have her~" dk sings as he plops down on the sofa. joshua lifted his gaze, as he smiled seeing the sight of you.

"what do you want?" you coldly said as you placed your arms over your chest.

he stands up as he walks behind you. wrapping his arms around your waist, head flopping down your shoulder as he coos on your ear.

"oh, don't be like that, hun." your blushing face could be easily seen.

dk simply just laughed at the sight.

"oh, keep quiet both of you." joshua leaned down and placed a quick peck on your cheek before landing multiple more all around your face.

.

.

.

"i better get going, i don't wanna get fired on my first day." chuckling as you stand up from your lover's lap.

"aw, if they fire you, joshua can just handle it." dk pouts as the other nods in agreement. "now that would just be unfair to the others."

finally able to leave from the room, you head back to your respective department, continuing the work you left off to.

you didn't notice that you were smiling until one of your officemates snapped you out from your thoughts.

"well you seem happy." a chuckle was heard by the person you were sitting beside.

"xu minghao, pleasure to meet you." a warm smile was given to you as you simply replied. "wayen lasnim, the pleasure is all mine."

'this office life isn't going to be difficult after all"

I have ideas I wanna draw that aren't dtiys or fanart

BUT THE MOTIVATION OR EVEN THE SPARK TO DO IT? NON EXISTENT

[kdm13]

what's a focus can you eat it? got distracted as soon as i got home lol and now i'm gonna head off to bed soon. but i wanna try and get a little more out there while i'm thinking of it!

so! Pawtree! originally made for a fantasy danganronpa roleplay i was playing in. they weren't the character i ran through the thing in, but after it was concluded, we learned that there had been two prior games with other classes, and each one had one survivor

Pawtree was one of those. they may have had their allergy meds taken away for a motive when there was only one other non-human left and. turned a few humans into yarn

do they regret it? no, because it helped them survive. do they wish it hadn't had to happen? yes, because it's not like they like killing people. also humans make really shitty yarn. not worth except in the most extreme of circumstances. like being trapped around humans hardly able to breathe

in more positive things! before the world fell apart and everyone was just going to normal fancy school for extremely talented kids (Pawtree got in as Ultimate Yarn Artist), they teamed up with a dragon to make a permafrost sweater for said dragon. literally turned water into yarn and used it before having a friend freeze it so it held its shape. how cool is that?

the "shit yourself" bit was also before everything fell apart, for the record. i don't feel like going into what the person had done because i don't feel like trigger warning it rn

i'll share more of what they've been through if they make it to the next round uwu

have the first picrew i did of them back in probably 2019 while we're here though. how they actually look is a mix between the picrew and the heroforge, but i've yet to actually sit down and draw them

thanks all for reading! since i mentioned in my first reblog of this that i was catsitting, the cat tax is under the cut!

her name is Abby and she is incredibly shy and it took many times staying over to catsit for her to get comfortable existing in the open around me and i'm delighted we've worked up to belly rubs being acceptable for brief periods. i can even go sit on the bed next to her for pets if i do it slowly!

ROUND 1 POLL 26

Saberattle (@ratherchaseamouse) vs Pawtree Purrety (@kdm13)

Saberattle

She/he

This is Saberattle, her three words are athletic, mischievous, and sage. She’s a mouser on a pirate ship and a pirate in her own right, though she’s trying to wind down a bit now that she’s past her prime. He doesn’t have any children, but every time he can visit his extended family he spoils all the kittens rotten. One time, she got in trouble with her brother for teaching his kids how to make Molotov cocktails (nobody got hurt thankfully).

Pawtree Purrety

they/them

seven feet tall

can make yarn out of anything (it's magic). allergic to humans but has meds for that. when talking to someone who had done some real shitty stuff, responded to part of the conversation with "shit yourself", which i feel is iconic. makes their own clothes

[imababblekat]

People who can draw other things while currently working on something else have such a freaking talent. I've seen plenty a time of how they wish they could finish their current wip before starting something else, but let me tell you something! I absolutely struggle to draw anything other then what I'm currently working on, and it's so gosh darn tortuous, because I want to have a break from my wip and sketch other things, but they always come out crap and just don't sit right with me. Like my hands are telling me "not uh uh! You gotta finish that other thing first!", and then as punishment only allows me to produce un intelligible scribbles. TT^TT
