Bucket list commission for @/realryanwhorton on Twitter!

Just as a quick note in case this leaves The Circle the artist (me) is aroace and he cleared it with me first. I thought the joke was in character and honestly a bit relatable. Kiss a bro for the meme.

does dc have like. any adult butch women? at all? the closest example i can think of is karsta wor-ul but she's not a recurring character and that's like. literally it. surely im forgetting some... onyx maybe counts... but like dc still always draws women so feminine like they Have to have form-fitting clothes and big boobs and full faces of makeup it's hard to actually call any of them butch designs. (not that women with big boobs or form-fitting clothes can't be butch but like in terms of character designs clearly made by straight men you know?)

Here's a recent mural design that I did with my art hero, Lay Chen. This was for the "Empowering Minds to Shape the Future" project, where artists from the US and China work together to create an inspirational piece that celebrates our cultures, creativity, and passion for sharing knowledge across our borders 🫶🏻 On the left you can see me in Philadelphia, and on the right you can see Lay Chen in Shanghai! ⁠

Nothing against it obvs but its always rlly weird to me seeing other ppl’s vent art nowadays. Like I understand feeling seen in a piece of art but its sometimes just rlly awkward when you see someone directly portray a scenario they’ve clearly been through in some kind of thinly veiled allegory?? And i feel mean even pointing this out bc theres really nothing wrong with making that kind of art ive just seen it so Much. And a lot of it is just not really meant for an audience but Then its like You’re posting it and showing everyone like what are you trying to do here??????? Genuine question

I feel really sad that my art doesn't turn out good, nor does it get appreciated by fandoms. How did you deal with that in the beginning?

aww hi anon 💖im sending u big hugs. im sorry and ily

honestly i did not deal with this Well at the beginning. i started posting art for fandoms when i was 13 and it was not a great time to be both obsessing over reception from fandoms when i was also growing as an artist. it's very isolating to feel like no one really cares about what you create. or, what felt worse, being in groups of fandom friends where i would see other people whose works mattered but felt like mine didn't. and as a teenager that sucked even more! the first time i started really feeling good about my art and sharing it with fandoms was when i was 15, when i started drawing for miraculous.

i remember what shocked me about drawing for the ml fandom was that, for the first time in two years, i wasn't caring about being 'known' in a fandom. i realised how much it had stressed me out in previous fandoms so drawing for ml kind of felt like a rebellion against my own anxiety. i purposely separated my ao3 and my tumblr for months because i just didn't want people to see me as an actual Individual in the fandom (because i was scared i would start caring too much about the same stuff i cared about before). the fact that i felt like nobody cared about me other than my friends made me feel like i could create whatever i wanted. i would write fics with tropes specifically because they made me excited, would draw completely aimless stuff that had no purpose but making me happy, i would not care if something looked bad because "hey no one knows me in this fandom so what's the big deal??" but then like. it was THEN that i noticed i started getting more traction. when i started focusing on enjoying my work. when i wanted to become my own favourite artist.

basically, i guess what i'm trying to say is that it's really hard to deal with feelings of insecurity around your art. and although it seems very counterintuitive (and i still don't always manage to follow the principle) when you can say for sure that you yourself are your favourite creator, somehow other people can see that, and you'll become their favourite creator too. it sounds so silly but i've always had a tumultuous relationship with creating and social media but, in my seven years of having my art account, it has always helped me
