the pendulum of weal and woe

[fourteentheart]

I'm overall pleased with what I created and my work has never personally disappointed me, but I do have some introspective thoughts re: my work as the year comes to a close.

I know one of my goals this year was to spend more time on singular works versus making a ton of sketches in short bursts (my 2-3 hours after work). It test my patience and focus a lot, but I did manage to work on a lot of multi-day things! I still don't feel like a particularly quick artist, and learned I had a new thing to over come... the feeling of "flopping" if a 10+ hour fully rendered piece did worse than my quick sketches LMAO

Of course (obvious to me, I guess, since it's my life), I create for myself and may vent about going unnoticed or unappreciated - neither of which is entirely true anyways. If you ever see me feel low about my work, know it's not in a "my work sucks :(" way, it's in a much more "the world just isn't ready to recognize my genius" way. I dropped the woe is me routine years ago :v I'm not setting up my art to fail by telling ppl I think it's cringe or bad, I'm just mildly sad others don't love it as much as I do!

It always feels like a faux pas to talk about these sorts of things, y'know. I AM grateful for the support I've received over the years. I DO remember, and even save some, really nice comments / tags people leave! I think it's just natural, as a creator, to really question the worth of your work sometimes. For me, I always return to my roots: If I don't do it, then who will... *I* want to see a lot of cute and sappy art of my WoL and Gaius together! I've commissioned it, yeah, but I don't have nearly enough money to get all my stuff commissioned LMAO so I draw the bulk of it myself. And the process is fun to me! I do sincerely enjoy creating for the journey of it all.

I got a new printer as a very nice bday/xmas gift and have been printing out lots of my own work to marvel at. Idc if that sounds conceited bc there's one thing I've been learning hard and fast in xiv artist spaces where your blorbo is Public Enemy Number #1. And that is to validate myself and not wait for others to do it for me.

I look forward to seeing where my muse takes me next year! I hope there's some good Mewlsar in there... I have a few ideas that have been brewing for years while I wait to get to the level I feel comfortable tackling them!
