i kinda love just how often art looks like absolute hot garbage from a dumpster until it's like... 90% done. because after spending so long hating it, and pushing yourself to trust the process, and muscling through the insecurity and discomfort, that moment when it finally COMES TOGETHER??? is so bloody glorious, it makes all of that itching feeling so worth it.

like this applies to just about anything I think (maybe more to things with a visual- or tactile component, but I can see it for written media as well) but right now it's is specifically about an amigurumi doll i'm making-- and for like the last three hours i've been working on it, it's been looking like a horrible little old man, a nightmare-realm chibi-version of Geri-from-Pixar-fame, and the second i placed the first little chunk of hair over the forehead, it became instantly adorable, and I can't wait to show off the finished thing ❤️

#squirrel speaks #i've never made a humanoid figure before and i've never done a full head of surface crochet “hair” on anything #closest to what i'm doing right now was a frill on a dragon's back so i'm making it up as i go #i'm flying by the seat of my pants here #and i say this with love but if i run out of white yarn for his sweet sweet head he'll either just be shirtless #or he'll just get a red shirt like how i ultimately prefer on him anyway #baby should pray i have enough so that at least he won't have a coin-sized bald spot #what have i done to deserve to fall for only characters with the stupidest and hardest to replicate features #cherubic curly hair.... a leather onesie..... plate armor....... intricate tattoos.......#why can't i just fall for a character who is like... Joe from accounting #the straight-laced mild-mannered man in khaki slacks and a white button-down; with the sensible short haircut and no distinguishing feature
