When someone else’s art is so good you physically can’t look at it because of artistic jealousy

#Y’all do this to me on a daily basis I swear #I literally can’t follow some people because their stuff is so good it breaks my heart #I think the art world has a lot of envy and competitiveness that no one really talks about #Sure we’re all for self expression but so many of us are so used to being “the art kid” that anyone else taking or sharing that spot feels #like losing a peice of your identity.#I’ve had some artist friends who dealt with their jealousy by tearing others down or justifying their art by going #”Well you’re bad at ____ but I’m better at ____”#Or they would give unsolicited critique that was more like gently worded criticism than friendly advice to help someone reach their goals #And because of those experiences… I never want to become that person #I definitely get the surges of jealousy… But I very much try to remind myself that fellow artists are my friends-not my rivals #The people I feel the most envy for are often the people I hype up the most #And beyond that- nobody in the art community is trying to gatekeep information from you.#If you want to learn skills from other people- don’t hesitate to ask them. Most artists happily spill their brains for you in a conversatio #(Foolish artist… they don’t even know how many brain juices of theirs I’m absorbing-MWAHAHAHA)#(I’m gonna come come back stronger as an artist… And then I can learn and grow EVEN MORE BWAHAHAHA)#So anyway… Jealousy is a valid and very real thing… but what you choose to do about it can either hinder or help you.#That’s all folks #art meme #art

Pages from trying to keep a little sketchbook-scrapbook type thing going for two weeks lol. I gave myself specific rules in hopes they might all end up more cohesive/consistent seeming, but alas, scribbly chaos reigns, it seems

#sketchbook #scrapbook #Actually I feel like these are kind of incomprehensible in photo form like.. In person holding the book its easy to look at #but as images on this scale I feel like there's so much tiny little text and small scribles and stuff you'd have to 'right click > open #image in new browser tab > zoom in' just to actually really see the thing. which for 7 images is excessive lol.. so. probably not the best #medium for sharing really but. I suppose I thought they might look cooler lined up next to each other. The whole part of using a #limited color palette is so that maybe they kind of seem to have more consistent color schemes or something throughout. but I dont #know if they look all that 'related' or not. I think these types of challenges I have always sucked at because I am a being of clutter and #excess. I can't just do like one little simple nice looking design and have that Crisp Neat calligraphy with evenhanded perfect lines #and perfect symmetical composition and etc. etc. Like some poeple post very aesthetically clean and cohesive looking sketch #pages or something but I simply cannot hold back the brain impulse to add more. more. more. Fill every single blank space with color #or a little drawing or a sticker or something. I take away 500 things and there are still a million there. Even when I thik I'm being #'simplistic' I'm still usually being 2x more complicated and cluttered than the standard or whatever lol. I guess thats clear from my #outfits/costumes though too. Like whatever that saying is from that person about something like 'before you leave the house take off one #more accessory. you dont need it' for me is like.. 'before you leave the house. add 10 more accessories. and 6 more layers. and another'#AAANyway. I wonder if also maybe some people would try to plan theirs in a way to look good or something or like.. plot things on the page #before placing them. I did sometimes have a theme for a day kind of (like day 10 I ended up finding a few gold and green things and then #was like.. hey... what if I looked for a few other things and only used these colors today') but aside from that I was just slapping down #stickers randomly and working around them to fill the page. Maybe a lot of neat minimalistic asthetic design is about planning and #having a Vision set ahead of time. instead of just complete random whatever. doodling whilst watching youtube videos or eating lunch. It's #a miracle actually I've managed to not spill any food on the book the whole time. anyway.. I do wish the highlighter really showed up. the #scanner kind of makes the colors look VERY different to irl. But also it got much clearer images than just camera pictures of pages. alas..#..Still oddly enjoy the phrase 'Salisbury Steak gently kissed with industrial pollutants'#probably my favorite section of 'gluing random papers and things onto the page' lol #Also I wonder if it's super obvious that I literally never ever use references when I draw (save for the few freakish looking youtube #face sketches) since everyone is always in the same positions and looking very similar ghhb. This could have been a good opportunity to #work on not solely drawing from my mind and try to do more Dynamic Experimental scribbles. NO. Same exact eye for the 90th time #be upon ye. But I guess it was meant to be casual 'daily doodles'. True 'practice' would make it seem too effortful like a full project. hm #(lol the one decimated pencil in the set... never hand me a writing utensil. i will passively destroy it somehow. shaving the sides of a #pencil off with a knife or snapping a pen in half as a nervous fidget without even realizing i've done it. sorry to the drawing implements)

i just randomly felt like doing a render since i havent done those frequently at all this year www and who else would it be of if not yuu

#re:kinder #fanart #yuuichi mizuoka #my art #i just really wanted to draw yuu and even though i have a lot of wips and visions i didnt feel like executing them just yet #i wanted something a bit more mindless for my brain to do and i remembered i have the ability to do renders #i used to do em like. A LOT around when i was 14 to 15??? like before i really started posting frequently here #and before the fibromyalgia randomly kicked in mid 2022 #since then i pretty much just indulged in staying in my comfort zone www since i couldnt do much #BUT NOW THAT IM ON MEDS I SIT DOWN AND I REMEMBER I CAN RENDER🫣🫣#like ive been drawing a lot all this time regardless but render render is a whole other patience thing render is fight for life #AND I DIDNT FEEL LIKE IT TILL NOW RANDOMLY SO. WE GET A PROPER YUU RENDER #i think ive done one once but it was experimental and a simple challenge mainly based on color rather than the render part #but no no it couldnt stay that way what kind of rekinder fan am i if i havent even done a proper render of it😢#i hope this makes sense i now realize i have no idea how people would interpret the term render #and I WILL DO MORE DEFINITELY i have visions okay i have. visions #wait no i have done another rekinder render actually it was a hiroto one i posted while i was trying to do daily rekinder drawing #but that was done on a 1-2 hour limit to be started and finished the same day SO IT DONT COUNT!!!!!

procrastination is starting to have its consequences finally

#on my friends living room floor they love together but one of them has been london for weeks or maybe months #to be with her love. im on a foam mattress from one of their beds next to a glass bottle of water opened by one of them #in a mug given to me by another. the weather felt like my childhood today and it also felt like 2 years ago.#(put space in the heavens Einstein's idea and hes your friend too so nothing to fear) around the table they drank and laughed and i thought #i hope you keep growing so full with the love you receive . i hope your appetite becomes insatiable from how used to it you are #and i know youre all leaving soon but i hope one day you miss this and that youll be happy you miss it #its worth missing i think #i thought he didnt care but he said after exams hes going walk around this area over and over #(this is near where he lived and where we visited almost daily for a year)#(hed come across the bridge on a lake)#we went where she used to live and at the entrance a fox sat calmly. it just yawned and stared.#it felt important somehow. i think maybe their impressions of me will never be close to how i feel inside but i think #i love them enough for that not to matter. i dont think theyll ever know this. i dont think if they did it would change much.#and seeing them smile makes my heart glow anyway. today i tried their malaysian tea the ginger burned my throat #they warmed my heart. hes going to canada soon and hes going to the US soon and shes going everywhere soon ill never understand #how were supposed to live with memories and with seperation and with the past but we do it anyway so i think it doesnt matter much #i wanted to write a poem for the lab rats with the fibre optic wires lit with blue forcing them to turn around and around #something about how im sorry that the two photon arrays burned the inside of your brain. im sorry about the sharp points of multielectrode #arrayes. im sorry about everything we do to you. she asked to see me tomorrow. im trying to have self control but i miss her so awfully #last night my friend talked to me and i updated on everything that happened with love and the lack of it and she just started laughing #and she told me about the same thing from her side. and she told me about how she loved london because she would walk the streets #and she felt like the people were her. and her eyes would go over the people and the bag of bagels and the construction men they probably #have a kid at home maybe shes a daughter. this kid is crying for her mother and the building you just walked past caused #blisters and pain and people died in it and very likely people were born in it. we talked for hours and i felt like #i was holding her hand just like that time she held mine watching a horror film. i love her so much #my friend is a genius and i remember her picking up the charms of my phone and staring at the leaf hanging from them. shes side stepping to #music drinking dangerous cider and cocktails from a movie and chit chatting with billionaires and undergrads #i love her dearly. his head covered in electrodes. she tells me about a syrian guy shes in love with and she says #what you feel and what i feel is like cocaine. ive tried a lot of fucking cocaine.#she says ive reminded her of what living actually feels like and to never put energy into someone who doesnt see me this way.

After watching s2 of Link Click, I’m rewatching s1, and when Cheng Xiaoshi dove for the Emma murder, he comes back after diving by himself, and Lu Guang yells at him about how he could’ve died, and while it’s not exactly an unjustified reaction, it makes so much more sense now

All I keep thinking is how, after LG went to the trouble of messing with the timeline himself, he’s like “why are you trying so hard to undo all the work I did to keep you alive”

#i have so many thoughts about this show and no brain cells to articulate them with #but man LG’s reactions to some things make a LOT more sense now #I’m sure I’ll watch it over again #but there are a lot of little things I’m picking up on #also how could anyone EVER say that LG isn’t emotional or driven by emotion #were we watching the same show #link click #link click spoilers #lu guang #cheng xiaoshi #shiguang daili ren #shiguang daili ren spoilers

So... Link Click Bridon Arc.

*curls up on the floor and sobs pathetically*

#it talks!#guys I'm not okay #this is even more tragic than ALNST ivantill wtf #I was crying through the last few s2 episodes #then bridon Arc hit me right in the guts. Literal K.O.#link click... truly a hidden treasure #this is gonna be my blog topic for a while now lmfao get used to it #I need to change my banner dear Lord #I NEED TO DRAW THEM #ITS A PRIMAL NEED #seriously though I adore Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi #everything about them is so tragic... and yet— so perfect. Fragile and fragmented yet still whole #link click has changed my brain chemistry holy shit man #also I whipped up a mini prompt for them #literally woke up from my half asleep state to type it out as if my life depended on it #dunno if I'll post it tho #will prolly draw it if I get the time. It was mainly meant to be like a scene dialogue of Lu Guang speaking to Cheng Xiaoshi...#and a lot of scenes from s1 timeline #I have way too ambitious ideas for my still developing skills... I'm trying to balance it okay-#oh and of course. the classic yearning scene of the MC's thoughts being spoken while the soon to be dead love interest is happily smiling #that's my fav part. It comes at the end :D #okay I think that's it lmao please comment if you read this far I've no clue if people even read my posts half the time #link click #shiguang daili ren #tags mainly for sorting purposes and nothing else

I have developed a new litmus test for Media Literacy and People I Wanna Hang With

Do they hate Skylar White of Breaking Bad for being dramatic and unreasonable

Do they think Arlecchino from Genshin Impact is an abusive parent

Do they think Silco from Arcane made Zaun worse

Answering yes to any of these questions results in immediate disqualification for having respectable opinions. To me.

#daily life with mercy #I have arguments for all three of them adslfj #and I feel strongly enough about all three #and generally speaking!#disagreeing on these very sensitive topics IS a good indicator of whether we can have constructive conversation #Note the wording #It's not about “do you think Skylar is annoying”#...answering yes to that still puts you on my squinty eye list but it's more forgivable #you can think someone is annoying while still acknowledging they are in a lot of pain #“Abusive” is a very particular term highlighting a pattern of behavior #You do better for those kids than Arlecchino did while challenging the system you grew up in lmao #we can have a civil discussion about good vs bad parenting #but that's not abuse. That's a bad situation #and thinking Silco made Zaun worse is just. Not having eyes. Or a functioning brain #sorry man. It was an EVEN WORSE shitshow before he showed up and took over #we can have a civil discussion over whether his end justified his means but you can't deny that he improved the gang wars and pollution #as evident by: EVERYTHING GETTING WORSE WITH HIS DEATH

Permanently tormented by my desire to share the plot and development and arcs that my oc stories involve except that that would take an insane amount of work and skill that I don’t have. Laying down and dying…………. can u guys look into my brain and see it instead

#I been trying writing again #FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!#not to mention the src as it stands as a narrative is already kind of fundamentally flawed #because in a lot of ways it’s just a patchwork of like 3 other ocs stories #it’s not good webcomic material! wasn’t really meant to be one #and yet #I really really really really want to tell the story of how ripley and Jeremy became friends!!#I love them so MUCH!!!#U GUYS NEED TO SEE THE SHIT IN MY BRAIN!! CRAZY IN HERE #anyway #I dont know Im just pondering the horror of it all #dropping off my daily ripley drawing #my art #src

i like overthink everything now it makes me feel so dumb. i used 2 be able to just talk 2 ppl but nowadays every single thing im like Is that actually going to make them hate me. Yes probably. and then i just dont respond which makes ppl hate me. this is how it is

#ive been overthinking 1 light and casual mildly funny response to something but im worried itll come off as disrespectful and dismissive And #make me seem stupid and uncaring all at the same time. and also be seen as insulting. but like idt itd be insulting right like. im not #saying what it is so ig for all you guys know im like I mean if i say All your shit suck ball and i hateit kys. <- thats not the thing i was #going to say #like it doesnt matter now the window for response is closed now but i feel stupid bc i shouldve just said it it was light and casual. im so #bad at keeping convos gojng im convinced im not going to survive. In like a light and casual way like in a He will not make it through the #winter joke way. dw. im not going to do anything bc i had One failed interaction. if i was going to do anythjng itd be bc of the 8000000 #other failed interactions. But im not. anyways. it just makes me feel so useless 😭 like i want to respond i want to talk to ppl so bad but #i feel like i mess things up Irreparably every time i speak OR i take too LONG overthinking my response and then i just cant respond bc its #been too long and then its been 3 years and the only messages ive ever sent r my intro message and 1 message 2 years ago that nobody #responded to at all. or the conversation stopped immediately after. and like i used to be better at this i was lkke. talkative in a couple #muts servers like. i talked 2 ppl daily in those servers and i had fun and like. I was an important part of the group and i felt like it #but i just feel like such an outsider for Everything and its literally my fault bc i cant just like. Talk. The explosion. bc im always like #im gonna try im gonna do it this time im gonna get it back im going to finally be Good connor and im going to fix it all and make a Good #solid friend group and ill find HEALTHY LOVE and i wont selfsabotage and ill move out and have a job and ill balance it well and ill start #all my hobbies and ill have a great routine and be so loveable and on top of it and not stressed and content and happy and roll with the #punches and then theres a single hiccup and im like Well fuckinf whatever im going to be an unemployed hermit forever and im going to die b4 #im 25 anyways so Who cares and also im digging a little hole for myself. and its like. AUGHH ik i just have to persevere and overcome but #even saying that feels so stupid its not fucking hard its Talking to ppl. like. i literally if ive ever said a word to you i had to think #avt it and strategize how to respond right even for like. like. it makes it sound like its not genuine it is #like for example i want to say hey i love your art! but then i freak out and im like thats not normal thats like a rly generic comment they #hear that all the time theyll thjnk im being polite and my brains like hrmmm rewrite Your art changed my life. It shaped me. Ill never be #the same. Nad im like ok too far overcorrected go back and the sentence generator is like Your art has colors 💯 like. GOD. WHY IS IT SO #difficult. and then usually i either just dont say anythinf and feel awful abt it 4ever OR i send it on anon and then i spend like 15 #minutes ibsessively slightly tweaking the apelling and capitalization and punctuation to make sure it doesnt seem like its me just in case #it Is the worst possible thing to say but then i see the response and itll be like AWWW TYSM :] THIS MEANS A LOT or whathaveyou and i feel #stupid bc i couldve just Told them this to their face and it wouldve been a good positive interaction we had. but instead i had 2 hide and #tyoe entirely differently so they couldnt sniff me from my typing style. and it soesnt even feel like the thanks is actually 4 me bc i #tweaked the message sm. and it still makes me happy that the oersons hapoy but its like. that couldve been a nice mutual interaction #like not that i need a personal ty i compliment ppl when i Want to compliment ppl and when its genuine yk. i dont do it so i get mutualpoint

part 11/26ish

anyone remember those scales with the springs in 'em? all i ever see these days are digital scales but those things made the best noises. i think i've seen some kitchen scales that still use spring mechanisms, but it's been a while.

technology is weird.

from the beginning

#otherkin hrt #fictionkin hrt #fictionkin #otherkin #digihrt #dg arts #-apomon #updates might slow down from daily since our brain ceased letting us do art about halfway through bfsdhjfbjshdbfs #oh well #i'm thinking of doing another fake in-universe pamphlet for a bonus though #specifically like talking about the “weight” stat #fun fact: we'd never stepped on a scale in almost a decade before finally seeing a doctor for the first time in that 10 years last year #we used to obsess over our weight in a way inherited from our mom's diet culture BS and then like #i'm pretty sure we split someone in the system who just managed to not give a shit #and everyone else that did basically got put in time out or fragmented to hell (we still don't know)#i think about this post i saw a while ago that talked about how like #weight (specifically as it is medicalized) shouldn't be a concern so much as if you're moving your joints and stretching them enough #and it should really only be a concern when it drastically changes in a short period of time because it can sometimes be indicative of #your body flipping its lid #the post talked about rapid weight loss specifically and how a lot of doctors will go “oh wow weight loss!! yay :)” when like.#no??? not yay???#anyways some medications can cause weight fluctuations too #our fibro medication can cause weight gain and tbh i don't give so much of a shit about that as i am curious about the mechanics behind it #our relationship to weight is mostly informed by being the one person in our family who never had to deal with fatphobia targeting them #but just because we weren't the target didn't mean it didn't affect us when our mom's whole life shifted around WW #i didn't want to delve into that in this comic tbh so aside from the little bonus pamphlet this is the last time it's brought up #but like a comic where we take a version of ourself through this kind of transition would inevitably have to touch on relationships to food #we're just lucky we finally found out that we can actually like... enjoy food without it hurting us?#part of the wish fulfillment of this scenario would (and is) the idea of getting to enjoy food without bodily discomfort #because on top of us almost developing an ED we also just have a garbage stomach

Ayumi and Yoshiki would be roughly 33/34 years old respectively today in 2024 and therefore by a couple years older than me, yet I'd still call them my children and would give them cookies and tea and a warm blanket to alleviate their cursed ghost-driven timeline they are in.

#corpse party #dia talks #am i talking about them again after seeing corpse party 2 and its teasers? and also because I missed out doodling Yoshiki on his bday?#why yes i am. I still wanna doodle something for him these days #Anyway I have this whole post-canon story in my head where they own a cat and go mystery hunting for ghosts and yokai #they're married and better in their 30s but they still have nightmares about the things they have experiences #there's other things like how Ayumi's mobility depends on the strength of the Nirvana and how strenuous that power is on a daily basis #and Yoshiki basically having a lot of scars around his arms due to using his blood at times as a catalyst for his solo ghost hunting #anyway this shit has been in my brain for almost 10 years now. Seprember marks my 10 year anniversary since shipping them #10 years of Ayushiki Queening and all I got was me groaning at Kedwin every time he reblogs my art and never updates Dead Patient
