Burnout is a jockey and he's riding me to death.

Creating Hesitation?

What Prevents You from Creating Even Though You Want To? Have you ever sat down with every intention to create something, only to find yourself frozen, staring at your tools or a blank canvas? If so, you’re not alone. Many artists experience this frustrating gap between the desire to create and the ability to begin. Let’s explore some of the reasons why this happens and how you can overcome…

Reminding myself to make the features of my trans-coded character designs more prominent as a lil' treat 'cause the constant headlines here in the UK debating whether we should be allowed to exist are driving me up the fuckin' wall actually ❤️‍🔥🏳️‍⚧️

Creative slump? No, no. Creative frenzy. Too many idea, not enough time, not enough energy. It's too much, I do nothing.

aaand the finished thing :D

it was fun doing a full drawing with just the lasso & shape tools! might make a series of hsr pieces like this. I have other work to catch up on soon but I might try to do it in my free time..... we'll see how much steam I have for it :0c

(poses were referenced from @adorkastock ! great stuff over there!)

never forget...

read again?

no you did not see me repost this, shh

hemlo!! thank ya'll so so much for enjoying this lil comic series!! i know it's been a year since the first part, but most importantly i finished it 💀✨️

every single tags ya'll leave on me posts and past questions i recieve about this au is super appreciated, they make me smile the widest you have no clue!! im just a lil mad at myself that i couldn't expand on this au more so yall could have had more crumbs. irl stuff happened + still getting the hang of drawing and socializing again after years of doing neither of those 😭

but still, im glad i could share this comfort comic i made for myself, and for you guys too. it's a pretty personal one despite the characters not being mine 😅 i hope that you can walk away from this story believing (entirely or not) that someone out there still thinks of you, whether they're from a late/absent loved one who still wants the best for you or a dear friend who will make room in their hearts for you. life will never not be hard, but if you keep them close to your heart, adulting will be bearable 🫂

thank you so much for reading 💕

A reminder to all the creatives out there:

It’s okay to take breaks from posting and creating things; absolutely everybody needs rest and time to recharge their passions.

Please don’t feel like you constantly need to be posting new content. No one is going to be mad if you need to rest for awhile ♡

Happy holidays everyone! Excuse the lack of activity lately. I’ve been dealing with burnout for the past several weeks due to some stress in my personal life, but am hoping to get back to my art soon. Thanks for your patience! ☃️

Finished art from this week's video! It was really nice to draw my ice boi again, but even nicer to see him (and the video itself) getting such a warm reception from y’all in the comments - thank y’all so much for the lovely energy 💖

Comic #351 : Healing & Uncertainty - Website links here ~ Deadlines, expectations, chronic pain: I did some of my best work during that decade but it was in spite of, not because of how hard I was pushing myself. For the longest time, art was my only avenue for income when my anxiety was cripplingly bad, I hope not to reach that point again but who can say what life will bring?
