#i forgot how to lineart am sorry

hi….! any chance we can see your art process ? it’s fine if not! i was wondering if u do a sketch before your lines or you just skip directly to lineart? your art is very beautiful!

HI!!! AUGGHHHJHH THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH T__T my art style is kinda simple imo so my process is pretty bare-bones ^^;; there's not rly much too it!! it also kinda changes depending on how uhhhh lazy im feeling in the moment HAHA

probably around half of my drawings are straight to line art bc they're rly just doodles or things i decide to draw without any planning (but also im kinda impatient so i try to skip the sketching step if i can LOL...). but if i DO have a specific pose in mind for a drawing, i'll start with a sort of mannequin sketch or loose pass, then depending on how messy it is, ill either do the lineart pass on the layer on top or duplicate the sketch and then clean it up.

and then my coloring process is not sophisticated at all i just create a new layer and then paint bucket tool away LMAOOOO

here's an example of a drawing where i did sketch first ^_^

[sugarywishes]

Ortho Shroud will really be having one of the most insane, horrifying backstory in TWST lore and like, he is literally a silly autistic robot guy lmao

This is another piece for the October art I'll be doing!! (Just like on Instagram yk) this is probably gonna be my only twst Halloween art however, depending on how well it does

Also MMM I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF FOR MAKING THE LINEART (and coloring him in) IN UNDER 1 DAY !! like okay the last time I drew him (in his easiest robot form no less) it took me almost a week or more to finish it, so this is an insanely great accomplishment for me

(And yes I know I forgot his holograph hoop thingy I'M SORRY I FORGOT IT EXISTED 💔💔 also I probably made some aspects of his design inaccurate, he is very difficult to draw after all)

[lollipop-helo]

So, I was thinking about one of my most recent posts:

The one I talk about how much I hate doing digital lineart and that my artstyle depends on it.

And that gave me an idea!

What if I created a whole new artstyle for the sole purpose of not doing any lineart?

So that's what I did!! (⁠✯⁠ᴗ⁠✯⁠)

I didn't have any idea on what I'd do or how I would do it, so it's still a bit rough and the proportions and other stuff may be a bit off ┐⁠(⁠￣⁠ヘ⁠￣⁠)⁠┌ I'll try to make it better with time!

Anyways, my first subject was....

TAILS!!!!!!

^ No bangs version (at first I completely forgot about them)

^ w/ bangs version (With this, I found out I have no idea on how to draw his "hair")

HE'S SO FREAKING CUTE!!!!!!!! ＼⁠(⁠ÒwÓ)⁠／

"Oh but why did you draw him with lashes if he's a boy?" BECAUSE HE IS THE CUTEST AND LASHES MAKE EVERYTHING CUTER!!!!!! (⁠｢⁠`⁠･⁠ω⁠･⁠)⁠｢

Now for the facts! :

Miles "Tails" Prower is a character from the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise.

His name is a pun that refers to "Miles Per Hour"

He is Sonic's sidekick, and had his first debut in 1992, in the game "Sonic The Hedgehog 2".

One of his favorite foods (if not his favorite) is mints!

Even though he is very young, being only 8 years old(or 4 ½ if we're taking "The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog" into account), He is extremely smart and has a IQ of 300. He once even made a TV out of paperclips, for heck's sake!

He has made multiple gadgets and tech items because of his inteligence, his probably most famous/used one being "The Miles Electric", a multi-use portable computer, or the "Tornado", which is an airplane.

His intelligence and knoledge on technology is very advanced, with him being able to figure out how tech he'd never seen before works within only a few glances/minutes.

Although his main focus is in being a scientist that creates technology, he also has good knowledge in history, physics and just science in general

His origin story can vary a little depending on what piece of media we're talking about, but two things that are confirmed in the majority of iterations are that:

1- He used to get bullied in his village because of his 2 tails (That is also why his nickname is, well... Tails.)

And 2- One day he saw Sonic run by, found him cool and decided to follow him around until they became friends.

Tails can fly with his 2 tails, using them like a helicopter propeller. While flying, he is shown to be able to keep up with Sonic's speed, although he does get tired if he flies too much. Using his tails the same way, he can also push boats and stuff like that underwater. He also sometimes fights using them as weapon, and is a very skilled fighter.

Still about his tails and fighting skills, although I think those are just plot errors, he is shown to be able to use his tails to slice through metal, and is seemingly strong enough to lift up tons and sometimes is even faster than Sonic. (Okay, let me rephrase this. These definitely are plot errors. Sonic is literally supposed to be the fastest being on earth. And which 8 year old child can LIFT UP TONS OF STUFF??? It's already impressive that he can lift Sonic and other people up along with him when flying!)

(ahem...)

He is agile and has some acrobatic skills.

Unlike Sonic, he is a good swimmer, and also a good cook.

I can't think of any more random facts..

And again, sorry for the drawing's awful quality, it is my first time trying that artsyle TwT I promise I'll get better.

Also, it's almost 2 AM and I should be sleeping long ago. ( ⁠ಥ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠ಥ )

So as always,

BYE BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And have a good night~!

(or day, idk.)

(REUPLOAD BECAUSE I FORGOT THE BRUSHES!!! AHH!! SORRY ANONYMOUSE!!!!)

Part 2 of how i art. click to better quality

tl;dr use references, all of my experience with drawing clothing and bodies is from studying and observing how OTHER ARTISTS draw and PEOPLE IN MY LIFE

ALSO: i heavily use the "LESS IS MORE" rule with clothing. unless i am purposefully trying to make cluttered and loud lineart/coloring, i do not add a lot of details or creases to my bodies and clothing. i hope this makes sense 🫀

Replieeees, mostly twst-related.

Starting with the one related to our Lilidia sketch from yesterday!

I love how Lilia’s just like, “heheheh, legs >:3

And then Idia is just so confused

Poor Idia doesn’t know how to react lol Lilia’s legs are this powerful…

Hello! I discovered your art recently after getting back to twst and I've been trying to learn to draw digital too. I really really like your art style, specifically the way it looks in the eyes. I just wanna learn how you draw! Do you do lineart first then color? Or color first then lineart? What art program do you use? I really like how you draw Idia and his hair, It's pretty hard for me to draw him because of his hair D: If you could give me some tips that would be great, thank youu💞💞

This is very sweet of you, Anon, thank you for your kind words! I am very happy you like my art style. And I love talking about drawing a lot, so ironically I have either posts or videos for pretty much every topic you’ve mentioned, so I’ll give you some links!

Firstly, to answer your questions: yes, I do lineart first and then colour. Sometimes I draw lineart digitally, sometimes I just colour a scanned pencil sketch (I wrote about this process in this post).

I draw in (pirated) Photoshop, and I do pretty much everything in there: clean scans, draw, do lettering, etc; but I think there are a lot of better alternatives to Photoshop now.

I also have a tutorial + speedpaint of Idia’s hair specifically, I hope it’s helpful! <3 And just in case, here is the post where I talk about how I colour regular hair.

I’ve also done a couple of speedpaints, and in the last two I sprinkled some notes throughout the video to explain what I am doing at any given moment.

I think this is it; if there is anything else you’d like me to talk about or if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I know you don't ship them since they're both bottoms but we need to address the sexual tension between Vil and Leona during the Cloudcalling event. I know people joke that they're divorced but it really does feel like that right now. (Maybe the reason they divorced was cause the realized they're both bottoms lol)

I haven't seen the event, sorry. You can see the things I've watched in my pinned. As well as the request not to mention to me ships that I don't like, which wasn't there before because I either forgot or didn't feel it was necessary I guess, but now it is there.

We never talk about ships that we actively dislike, but I feel like Vil and Leona are one of the closest things I have to a notp. You had no way of knowing that particular fact though, so no worries.

Hiya! Hello! It's me, ya boi

Updates people Updates!

So I'm making this sort of list of things I am in the process of making or should start working on soon (or things I have yet to post about yet) with little updates about them

Dimentio drawing- this is going alright so far but is a somewhat complicated piece where I will have 2 different end results, one with his mask and one without. I'm on the shaping phase of my lineart which is usually fun for me but I decided to take a small break from it as I was put off by how much time I spent on the sketch (about 30 hours) this does not mean the piece is complicated, just that it took a while to get everything right. I will get back to drawing this soon. This is a digital drawing

You were someone to me a lifetime ago- so for those who don't know I have a fic I'm working on. I released chapter 4 last month and hope to start working on the 5th chapter this month. After the last chapter was posted I started working on the layout of the story as up until this point I was just winging it and going with the flow with not much of a plan, but I know I should have some sort of base to follow in order to keep my writing consistent and have proper flow, because of this I have planned several chapters in advance now, and those who enjoy it will be happy to know that this fic will most likely have more than 30 chapters although I cannot say what number there will be specifically. I want to try and get more chapters out in a short amount of time as I don't want to drag this out but I cannot promise anything

My writing and ideas- so as said in a previous post, I have quite a few ideas that I have had but didn't share in here either because I was too lazy, forgot, or was self conscious. I will probably start to work on a few I already have written out and start to post them, I will also start to post more headcanon posts. Because of all these ideas I have had I actually have some other things that i will be able to share, which lead into..

Mario AU- an AU ( alternate universe) of which I made sort of out of the blue by accident which I have slowly been building on and I even have some doodles to go along with the basic lore of it. What is this AU you ask? Well you'll just have to wait and see, I will say that there is definitely some role swap in which makes things very interesting

Shipping- so for some who may have guessed, I am a multi-shipper, which isn't anything new but I preface this because of me delving into these ships a bit more. For instance me drawing Dimentio has sparked a lot of Dimentio and Dimigi (Dimentio x Luigi) ideas to form and be made, I shipped it before hand but I was and still am focused on booigi. So you may very well see some Dimigi soon as well as your scheduled booigi

Please do keep in mind like I have stated many times before, I struggle with motivation a lot and it can be very difficult for me to get things done, I don't know when any of this will be finished and forcing myself to get it all finished now will only burn me out more. I'm sorry I haven't been posting a lot of content recently as I've been struggling with a few things recently, I'll try and get content out for you as soon as I can and I hope it will make up for it. I was hoping that at least by posting this you will be aware of my plans and what is currently in the works so you guys are up to date

Also I wanted to just say that I appreciate the asks so much, it really means a lot and I love answering them! I do want to add if you are one of the 2 maybe 3 people who submitted an ask a little while ago, I just want to say that I haven't forgotten about them, I wish to draw proper responses for them I just haven't gotten around to it hey, I hope to answer them soon for you though

Have some old pics of my son (ignore how pale I am)

[dummy-energy-drink]

OMG SONA UPDATE⁉️⁉️

Yeah I forgot to say I updated my sona months ago cause I really wanted to see her as how i am now than from like, 2 years ago

She's silly and I'm so happy how it looked :]c

Sorry for the super messy lineart

[artkotaro]

Good time of day (and bon appetit)

I am a Russian-speaking fan of your work. I think you know that Pinterest is spreading your creativity(and some of it went from there to here).

I will not pull the cat by the tail and ask three quick questions:

1)Can I create a telegram channel where I will translate your comics into Russian (and point you out)?

2)How do you react to the fact that your creativity is spread on different social networks?

3)How much time does it take to create art?

If there are any mistakes, I'm sorry, I know English terribly and I write with the help of a translator…

Thank you very much for sharing this with me and I will respond to each point you mention. ✨

1- I'm more than happy for you to do this, you really have more than my permission.

2- The truth is that I've already seen this situation where my art was on other media like Pinterest and even Reddit, the truth is that it doesn't bother me.

My signature and name are kept since I do a trick so that they don't take credit away from me. I've seen some recolors (which did bother me a little) but I take this with calm and humor. I see the positive side to this since there are some who may possibly see my old art on Pinterest and end up finding me and following me on my networks.

3- It depends, if I make a spontaneous drawing/doodle it takes me a maximum of one hour (more yes I give it a simple coloring ), if the drawing is in black and white an hour and a half maximum.

If it is a coloured drawing with a lot of detail (even if it doesn't have a background) 2-3 hours maximum, if it has a background it takes me 1-2 whole days to finish it. I don't even mention comics, those take me a whole day, if it's very long (with a lot of detail and colour) it takes me 5 days to finish a page.

I'll just leave a desktop here so you don't have to complicate things so much to understand all this.

Drawings/ Illustrations/ Skechs

Sketchs/Doodles simple - 2 hours

Sketchs/Doodle simple coloring - 4 hours

Black and white (LineArt) - 5-6 hours

Drawing flat color - 7 hours

Drawing flat color + simple shade - 10 hours

Drawing Full color (bottomless) - 17-20 hours

Drawing Full color (with background) - 20-23 hours

Comics and short comics

Skech simple - 5 hours

Skech + simple coloring - 7 hours

Black and white (LineArt) - 9 hours

Flat color - 9-10 hours

Flat color + simple shade - 12-14 hours

Full color (bottomless) - 14-17 hours

Full color (with background) - 21-25 hours

I forgot to mention that this depends on my time since I don't have much time to draw, when I can it's on certain days off, I don't have a personal unforeseen event or I'm not artistically blocked. Also if my phone doesn't fail me since I draw there

Don't worry, your English was perfectly understood.

[pistachiozombie]

Hi hiiii Just wanted to hop on to say your art is absolutely gorgeous, and your animations give me motivation to start learning animations (ive been putting it off for so longgg). Like thye are literally so cute and smooth and <333 Your oc's are so so so CUTEE and i checked out your comic!! I lOVE how you draw Bilbo (i may be a bit biased, he is my favourite-est boi ever) and honestly, everyone. I forgot the elf dude's name (im so sorry i have trash memory, i forget my own oc's names AH) but his design is awesome!! LOVE how you do lineart and shading btw, it is so nice to look at! I mean, all of your art is really nice to look at, i just wanna gobble it up.

Do you think you'd be down to draw some more Bagginshield someday? If not, I will still gobble up your art, Leanna and Bofur are so adorablee. I used to not be into oc's as much but your art got me into Oc's a lot ngl!

Sooo hmmm that's all :D Love your art, hope you have a good day :D

Oh my goodness hello! Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and kind message! Waking up to this definitely helped me get started with my day a little faster. ♥ I wish you luck on your animation endeavors! It's intimidating and redundant at first, but once you get your own flow going, it comes to you naturally. I highly recommend "Animators Survival Kit". Have you seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit? A classic, but same animator shows you how it's done in that book. Very good resource for 2D animators. Growing up with Disney and Don Bluth, I ended up fawning over strictly 2D animation and not tweened, puppeted or rigged. Equal work goes into all forms of art, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to enjoy that style as much as I want to. It just isn't for me. But that doesn't mean it won't click with you! Try all sorts of different ways of animation and see what you like most. Try not to get frustrated when it doesn't come out looking like [*insert any Spirited Away scene*] at first. As for the comic, thank you! I can't wait to post more pages and show you Sven's history of pain and suffering :D Partially kidding, but there is a lot to come so I hope you are looking forward to that as well! Maybe one day it will get popular enough to release plushies omg

I'm always down to draw Bagginshield, but don't get requests often to do so, and a lot of you out there have already done some wonderful art of them that I would have a hard time thinking of a pose that hasn't already been done lol! It also explains why I am in sort of a uninspired Bofur x Leanna hibernation ;-;

Cheers to you♥

Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san - Rant

I am currently watching season 2 and I have some thoughts (about both seasons).

First of all why did I start watching this anime? Erm... So I know what the target audience is, it's people who self insert as Naoto and want to date Nagatoro. As for me? Oh, it's the other way around. I think Naoto is cute and I want to bully him. I thought maybe my female friends were similar but the only friend I have who read the manga wants to make out with Nagatoro. Sorry, I forgot lesbians exist.

Uh, anyway yeah Naoto is cute and I want to be Nagatoro. Not sure if girls like me watching this was intended since these anime are usually made for lonely dudes, lol. Anyone else feel like me though?

The scrunkly.

Okay, so, my thoughts on season 1... Lemme check the episodes to bring back my memory a little bit, as I watched that to calm down from the stress that is social work during last Winter.

The first two episodes made me really scared to watch this series, for real. Nagatoro just straight up mentally tortured Naoto, and not in the hot way. I felt really bad for him because I know what it's like to be the shy nerd kid. Anyways at around episode 3, I think, Nagatoro starts showing her softer side more. And she hardcore crushes on Naoto.

The dynamic between Nagatoro and Naoto is really cute in my opinion, even if it is very simple. Nagatoro has her first crush because she finally found a guy that doesn't bore her to death but she doesn't know how to handle it so she bullies the fuck out of him. Naoto is pretty much the opposite? He doesn't really realize how much he likes Nagatoro sometimes and thinks he would rather not be around her. He tries to manage that by fighting her off in which classic anime romcom things happen. You know the "Holy crap you did something on accident, PERVERT!" thing, except it sometimes works really well. Maybe it's just because I think both of them are really cute, but I like when they have their little "Oh god, we both fucked up" moments.

Then there's the more obvious romance aspects and they're by far my favorite. The momens of honesty and the cute glances... Yep, they're adorable. I don't want to give away too much, sorry. Just know it's, in my opinion, the best thing in the series.

I don't care for the side characters by the way, but they can be enertaining when they point out how obviously both of our main characters are trying to "prove" that they don't like each other. They're the audience, the "just kiss already!" guys.

Also funny face cute. I like when she snaps. I like her. The cutesy. Okay no, for real, I love when Naoto and Nagatoro support or protect each other when they really need it. They can be a bitshitty towards each other sometimes but in the end they're actually kinda... healthy? Like Nagatoro is creepy but I love when the girl is a creep instad of the guy, since Naoto is actively watching out not to disturb Nagatoro. And how she will constantly accuse him of being a creep makes sense later when you realize that she's actually much worse than him, lol.

Okay let's get to season 2, since I keep using too many screencaps of that season anyway.

Oh boy, another anime studio took over with season 2 (now OLM, before it was Telecom) and it's very noticeable. The animation is stiff and sometimes just straight up doesn't move right, the art is a lot more bland, in season 1 there were a lot of beautiful warm colors and lineart, and the voice direction is very strange... That and also our main characters seem to regress a bit? Now being overly flustered over small things that they would've been fine with in season 1? I get it, they're supposed to be cute and awkward but it's the classic romcom regression...

I'm in the middle of watching season 2 and sadly the things I loved in season 1 just aren't that apparent anymore. It's still cute and I love Naoto and Nagatoro together, but I can hardly pay attention to that when Naoto is animated like Chargeman Ken.

^ little appreciation for the beautiful lighting in season 1!?

Anyway, Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san will forever be my biggest guilty-pleasure comfort anime and I'm only a little ashamed.

Love ya

===> Characters: silently offer a prayer that the creator deity is well

I should probably give an update in whats going on

Im fine! I forgot that the last post i made like three weeks ago was about how i got sick and that sunday we would get an update. That obviously hasnt happened yet but i am fine! i recovered a couple of days later but forgot to say smt about it, sorry about that! :b

The reason i havent finished yet is, well, im busy with school! I do 4 hrs in total daily on just the school bus on top of classes and homework, last semester things where calmer until finals where i took a break and then came back when i was on holidays. Sadly this semester has been harder and heavier which makes it a little harder to work on updates :/

Also i decided to redo the lineart as i didnt like it how it was coming! I'm pretty sure i was going through an art block? which didnt help. I'm close to finishing it, but because I tend to say ''For this sunday!'' and then not deliver it, i decided to just not do that, unless i'm a 99% sure i will have it for that day lol

I am close to finishing it too, but i dont want to tempt luck and saying ''this day'' only to have smt happen again wmhbhw, sadly because i took so long in finishing this update, it means that finals week is around the corner and well...

I will update before i announced it too!

[astranauticus]

ok one last post about the Project to truly exorcise it from my brain. just some process/design thoughts (also now that it's done if you want to read my liveblogged whinging for whatever reason here it is)

first off some stats because i kept stats like the nerd that i am:

time wise making this animatic took about 93.5 hours give or take (thanks procreate process replay) spread across exactly 2 months

anyway when i said i finished this project mostly through stubbornness and sunk cost fallacy this is what i meant lol like a lot of my thought process through this was just 'no way in hell am i letting some of these drawings disappear into my drafts forever'

on average each frame took about 2 hours 45 minutes but thats a bit of an overestimate since i forgot to count some of the animated bits from the first two lines (so id guess the actual number is more like.. 2 hours 20 minutes?)

btw that line with the starry apparition fading away? 12 hours total

the single longest and most painful frame to draw was the one of the crew walking through tu'narath (5 hours 30 minutes) because a. perspective b. architecture design c. for some reason i put a lot of detail into rendering the armour on all the githyanki i drew why on earth did i do that

(its especially painful bc that frame was one of the ones that didnt... feel like an important enough moment in the actual story of the show to be worth capturing the way the wish or even like, endellion is, i just needed to put that there for the storytelling flow or whatever of the animatic itself and it bothered me so much)

one other interesting little mishap was that i did all of these on canvas size 1080x720px (so that's why the youtube resolution isnt particularly high lmao) which is why procreate let me put an absolutely absurd amount of layers in one canvas (all 8 frames of with memories projected on the astral sea were done on one canvas. 159 layers) because the layer limit for that canvas size is 400 BUT. i accidentally started the starry apparition fade on an A4 canvas (my default canvas size for like all my normal fanart) and i only realised after finishing all the lineart and starting on colouring because i hit layer limit so i had to resize the canvas which did... interesting?? things to the lineart resolution

also if youre wondering how i drew K-LB that many times in something resembling timely fashion the answer is i sacrificed some... amount of sleep to 3d model and rig him in blender which. honestly? i consider it a roaring success

splitting the frames by bar was a Choice and certainly a choice ive.. had doubtsTM about but thats the kind of thing you cant really change without bringing the whole project crashing down so if the frames seem to move a bit too fast im so sorry there was really not much i could do there

idk if people actually noticed the very very tiny drawings of the crew moving around on the ship in the 4th line especially since they sometimes get obscured by the subtitles but the REASON for that is in my original drawings the subtitles went in the top left corner but they kept conflicting with other stuff so i just gave up and threw them to the bottom (also i originally included the chinese lyrics but then i got lazy lmao)

anyway that little detail like VR-LA angstily looking at the sea reminiscing about the JourneyTM and the crew sort of appearing along with the memories of their adventures together was one of those things that seemed SO COOL in my head but once i actually execute it its like. hmmmm not sure if that worked out the way you thought it would buddy. also the tiny crew was EXTREMELY hard to draw so put that down as another point in 'me subjecting myself to deeply painful and out there compositions for no good reason'

anyway i called this my magnum opus but i do actually have some thoughts about another one (a companion piece, if you will) for another song by the same band because now that i know what capcut can do im.. really itching to try something a little different because this like powerpoint presentation style? fully a product of me using iMovie as my only available video editing software for the past like 7 years of my life

[rindevlog]

HALLO I FORGOT TO MAKE A DEVLOG YESTERDAY (not really, its more like I just didn't do any dev work yesterday O_o). However! I bring good news... I THINK IM HIRED!!! "I think" because the recruiter that hired me said that the manager is gonna email me stuff but I havent gotten it yet so idk if he jus pranked me saying congratulations O_O"" HOPING FOR THE BEST THO! Another good news is that I have optimized the dialogue system a very tiny bit, and have updated the inventory system so it works perfectly! It's very simple tho so I don't see it being used in other, more complicated projects. But it's a good start, that's for sure!

Yesterday, a small reason why I didn't get to do some dev work is mainly bc I'm a little sick, my throat is like covered in thick ahh phlegm that's so annoying to deal with. It wasn't that bad, like I could still function properly but idk, I just didn't feel like coding. BUT! The main reason why I didn't do anything for devving is because I drew a lot! not really a lot, I did like 3 sketches and suffered for hours about developing the lineart... I think I'm just gonna stick to winging it and adding lineart at the end... I'm drawing Bocchi from Bocchi the Rock! :3

Today, Sept. 26, 2024, I found a new tutorial to guide me for the inventory. I thought my method of just having like a boolean system like if have carrot == true, type shi was simple enough, but it just brought so many complications. Now, I'm using an array of item resources, and the same inventory is the same with everyone, so it's going to be like, if they give you this, they lose it in their inventory. Not really important but it kinda helps I think? It just makes sense, I'd say, considering I'm planning to implement a system that features that very basic thing. I made NPC resources as well, containing their name and sprite for now. I think it also contains their root dialogue?

Like I said earlier, I want to optimize the dialogue because if I keep on with it, the game might end up too big. Instead, I'm considering having chains of lines of dialogue. I'm also thinking of adding their questline in their resource file but I need to first figure out how I want the quest to flow. But, I'm not sure if I'll be able to implement those tomorrow since I'm gonna be going outside with my girl. We ARE gonna be doing some work together (she's studying) but I wanna focus on developing concept art for the game jam I'm in. It ends November 14th so I think I still have some time? I am considering making it on RPGMaker first though since they have all the code already and I just have to edit them; it's gonna be quicker there, basically.

After Knowlerdge, I'm gonna put my full attention to the concepts for the game, Prey for the Devil (TBD). Once I'm done with that, I'll start with the RPGMaker project, and then a little bit on learning more godot. Damn, this has been a huge yapping session, I'm sorry for the massive walls of text... As always, thanks for hearing me out! I hope the manager calls me soon because I obviously don't wanna stick to false hope. See you in the next one!

tyy so much for the compliments, you’re literally too sweet

i love the composition of your pieces like how hermes is floating but is still enshrouded in shadow behind odysseus, or how you referenced athena with the owlish mask/her shield with meduas’ face!

i am also in love with your artstyle, it’s so smooth and crisp!!

anywho thanks for sending an ask, i hope you have a good weekend! ^^ <3

Of course it does feel a little silly to make big update posts about how im burned out and am trying to take a break from drawing right in the middle of a time where im uploading new art more relatively consistently than i have in a very long time it feels like but i guess it was still important to make the distinction, between things that i enjoy drawing and can keep doing vs things i dont enjoy doing at all and need to stop immediately, just for my own sake.

Openly telling people "yuuup i'm not going to be drawing anything other than super basic shit from now on for a long time" means that whenever i think of drawing anything post-worthy i know i will feel silly for posting it after saying that, and from there if i still decide to go through with it anyway it was probably something i actually wanted to draw and enjoyed doing while if this thought made me self conscious enough to not go through with it then it was probably something i wanted to draw only due to impulsive obligation rather than something i wanted to spend time making just for the fun of doing it so the spell gets broken. So its a functional enough system, i guess.

&now that this distinction has been made in my brain i can spend more time doing shit i actually enjoy instead of letting it get beaten out by the things i "should" be working on every time

Putting my foot down and going "no, i am not going to keep forcing myself to do detailed clean lineart on even more detailed sketches when i get much more enjoyment out of just doing really rough and simple shit instead" after i have found myself independently coming to realizations about what kinds of art just suck the life out of me over and over again and then just disregarding these realizations every single time to go back to the shit that kills me because "well this is how you normally do it" or "this technically looks nicer, in some aspects" and finally just fucking forcing myself to stop doing that is probably overall more helpful to my mental health than just forcing myself to stop drawing altogether when thats a drastic move that may or may not be the actual solution. Now i am finding and re-learning ways to create things that don't make me feel like i am a walking corpse so i think i will take the feeling of thinking i look a little silly for seemingly disregarding my big life updates over never having found these things out for myself at all any day.

I don't really know why i feel like making update posts in the first place when to be honest i dont think it really matters, people arent paying me for any of this and i stopped feeling "sorry" for "not posting enough" or such things as that a long time ago so it's not like i feel any kind of legitimate need to tell people about what my status is creative-wise. But i guess a large part of it is just that i like talking and have a lot of things to say but for various personal reasons have no desire to post 99% of these thoughts publicly so it's the like rare chance i get to actually start saying shit on any of my art accounts that is actually relevant to the subject at hand without crossing my own boundaries and saying more than i am comfortable with

It is a little weird feeling writing update posts though because i dont really know how to word them in any way that doesnt come off as a fanfic authors note going "sorry its been a whole 20 minutes since the last update i got mugged and all my money was stolen and he broke my leg also but im trying my best to write more despite this" like girl focus on the mugging not this shit. When in reality i actually dont care very much about providing Content as much as the hypothetical fanfic author i just felt the need to say something because why not and didnt know how to word it in a way that makes me not come off like that. which is how you get this i guess. anyway i already forgot what the point of this post was i guess i just wanted to say some shit. which tracks i suppose.

The moral of the story or some shit i guess is that even if you are not doing art as a job it can still end up feeling like one and killing your creative spirit like one would and you need to be able to identify when this is happening and what things you dont actually want to create even though you feel like you "should" so you can kill these practices before they kill you

or something like that

I dont really care about having a point here i wrote this at 2 am

i just like talking
