#and I want to tell stories and draw them

[cherrysnax]

im sure this feeling will pass but I feel like im not made for comics

#I draw a lot #and just drawing and practicing won’t make u good at comics it’s a whole different skill set that u have to work at #I often feel my brain is overloaded on information #if I try a new skill my brain will explode #I still try tho #but yeah even while training for SYS i make lil comics on the side #we wanna work on SYS for a while but chevy and I have other projects too #and I want to tell stories and draw them #but I start so many things and never finish them #it feels like I can’t finish them #whether it be comics or stories or illustrations #I rlly tried a few days ago to get my little sonic au comic out and I burnt out after like. 4 ‘panels’ #and to be fair it was all off the dome #no thumbnailing or anything so duh #but even before that #my undertale au from like. 2017 that I made actual thumbs for I did concept art for #I even learned pixel art for (it was bad pixel art but still) #and I gave up right as the first chapter ended #never went back to it. Chevy and I have poured so many years and blood n sweat n tears into SYS! and chevy manages to have so many other #projects at the same time that they’re balancing and planning #we have another two comics we wanna plan too and we’re in mid production for the second one #but. I feel like such a failure when it comes to SYS #we wanted it to release December last year and look where we are now #I got sick and fucked up my wrist bad and chevy got a job so it’s not like we just haven’t done anything #chevy is writing a whole nother comic at the same time and I’m trying to learn learn learn #but maybe. im not built for it #or. maybe I just need to let myself be disatisfied. everyone tells me to do it scared. and that’s true #but I also neee to learn more o do it badly #I’ve read webcomics with art that was genuinely hard to look at because I loved it #im not helping anyone by wondering and going what if what if what if. issa leap of faith or whateva that white man said

Eh, almost forgot ;~;; Commission for sweet @celestialrose3 ;;~;;; Thank you so much *bows*

#rottmnt #I am always very nervous when I draw commissions that are related to someone's story... how to explain it... #No matter how many times you might tell me that it's okay #I can't put it in the words because it sounds stupid and silly #but #you see #It's CAS #cass fanart tag #and it is commission #I ALWAYS FEEL NERVOUS TO POST COMMISSIONS YES I DID THEM FOR SOMEONE BUT they might be related to someone's story or comic and I sit and #think “Can I show it? Isn't it irritating? Am I even allowed to take commission related to it??” I“M SORRY I'M FIGHTING WITH THIS FEELING #ALL MY LIFE #okay no I can't explain it it's just my stupid brain that feels very nervous about such a topic and wants to hide everything related to it #You saw nothing but I just needed to put it into words to feel a little better about it #*hides*

By your side.

#micas art #twst #twst fanart #twisted wonderland #lilia vanrouge #silver vanrouge #this is so self indulgent djdkdk #i just wanted to draw something soft with the two of them #imo lilia should stick to storybooks instead of telling his own stories. lest we want him to traumatize a 5 year old #but!! i think he would be pretty good at reading stories since he does have a very soothing voice #hed probably make funny voices for the characters and everything #im starving for domestic lilia and silver content and if twst isnt giving it im just gonna make it myself #almost forgot to mention i referenced elizabeth shippen green for this piece. felt important to add!

When she was a little Kiko, Lulu loved to put on ribbons and appear before the world to show her precious Slorg! Sadly her owner was such a recluse that nobody noticed much, and over the years she forgot performing for others...

Until recently she found all the ribbons she saved over the years and wanted to have fun again!

(She didn't know which ribbon to wear, so she is wearing them all!)

(Lulu won a trophy!!! She is absolutely delighted and is using it to store her ribbons!)

#neopets #neoart #kiko #slorg #lulu #aquanutart #sorry to repost this! i really wanted to tell the story but i was kind of nervous to mention the bc (this is NOT in any current contest!) #so this is a little picture i made last year now that she is pink! #when i was 11-ish i used to enter her in the beauty contest with tiny pixel scribbles #in some of them she was pink and wearing a hairbow (although there were no wearables back then) #the filesize limit back then was something like 19kb so i shrank them down to like 150x150px #(i didn't know any other way to reduce the filesize) i was too young to use the boards and didn't do any advertising at all #i would check back excitedly every week and be disappointed to not get a trophy but then make a very similar scribble and enter again #finally one time she won a third place trophy because i think only three kikos were entered that week #i felt complete after that #it was always her dream to be pink and show people her slorg #so last year after all this time i entered again because i realized it gives me motivation to draw my own pets #that i otherwise don't really draw and i felt kind of sad people don't really know them #i don't like competition so i decided i was just going to treat it as a chill social event and not bother trying to win #just treat it as the way of posting or sharing content on the site itself #it was fun and social! as someone who's pretty reclusive it was fun feeling like i was getting to know other pets #everyone was super nice and the supportive community feeling between artists was really fun! love getting excited about each other's work!! #since then i've entered a few more times and i have mixed feelings about it because i get absolutely exhausted from it #because unfortunately the competition aspect does take hold of me even when i don't want it to rofl. i feel like i have to try my hardest #if it were just an art competition i probably wouldn't enter but because it's mostly a social competition i spend hours on the chat #it's a massive burst of socialization for a week and then afterwards i disappear and don't reply to messages for. months rofl #it's fun to do once in a while but i can't handle it too often. but i am happy to end up with more pictures of my pets #she has a few trophies now and can put a ribbon in each one!

Hey @thehomelybadger , thank you for breaking my heart

#the way I picked up my iPad and started drawing angst #caitlyn kiramman #vi arcane #piltover’s finest #caitvi #arcane #fanart #jacketsketch #(this was scheduled before chap 32 came out - I need to sleep so I haven’t read it yet but oh boy) #but I also want to say before I do - thank you. #thank you so much for telling this story. I’m not exaggerating in the slightest when I say it got me through a lot these past few months #it fueled my inspiration it calmed me down on bad days when I was beating myself up with stress it gave me something to grasp onto #I love your characters - every quirk and trait you’ve gave them and this world you’ve fleshed out #I hadn’t seen a second of ice hockey and now I’m looking up reference photos and trying to get the jerseys down #i love these guys and it pains me to be letting them go already - I can’t imagine how it’s like for you - but I’m forever grateful for this #wonderful thing you’ve created out of just the pure love for the characters and for hockey #I went into this thinking ‘hey what a lovely bedtime story’ #and I’m heading to its end forever changed and impacted by it for the better #so thank you badger - see you when I read the next chap

Every time I draw Mamagi it does AoE damage (I am also in the area of effect)

Lighthearted bonus:

#enstars #hiiro amagi #rinne amagi #i don't know if this is a bad time to be amagi-posting given that hiiro's fs2 just dropped but. oh well #also this might be the last thing i draw for a bit because i am in the final stretch of this semester #if you sent in a request. i will get to it and thank you for your patience #anyways i know i'm kinda being like 'haha rinne mama's boy' which like. yeah but also sometimes-- #--sometimes you're an adult in their 20s and like. yeah sure you're technically an adult or whatever but you still feel like a kid yeah? #and sometimes you just maybe want your mom to help you when you're lost or confused or when you need someone to tell you it'll be okay #but you won't get that for whatever reason #sincerely: an adult in their 20s #....can you tell why rinne is like. a vibe to me now #anyways i'm not saying mamagi dying was a necessary evil but if hiiro and rinne had an adult who actually loved them at home they probably- #-wouldn't have left and we wouldn't have the main story #if she was alive today tho she'd be going to their lives sorry i don't make the rules (yes i do) #if she ends up being exactly like the rest of their village in some future lore i'm gonna be so sad. #she'd throw hands with niki's parents #imagine leaving your sons behind because you straight up died (couldn't really do anything about that) #meanwhile your son's boyfriend's parents just. up and left him because they could #also posts with her will be tagged mamagi #if you read all that <3 #mamagi #she'd adopt all the bees and alkaloid too #imagine if they got their singing skills from her #also mamagi 1 rinniki shipper (also does not care it's not legal) #rinniki

Another batch of silly doodles hehe

#blind man's bluff #ladyredms #l4d2 #the concept of nick and ro being huge gossips with each other is soooo dear to me #just chatting about very inconsequential and minor social dramas as if it's the plot of a telenovela #and i'm sorry i had to draw the stupid sanrio helmets again LMAOOO they're so funny to me #drawing those hawaiian shirt patterns was honestly so therapeutic i loved it #and that scene where nick tries to emotionally support coach on the boat was amazing #like that he'll listen to him tell stories about savannah if he wants to talk about it.... UGHHHH I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

[sameboot]

Permanently tormented by my desire to share the plot and development and arcs that my oc stories involve except that that would take an insane amount of work and skill that I don’t have. Laying down and dying…………. can u guys look into my brain and see it instead

#I been trying writing again #FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! #not to mention the src as it stands as a narrative is already kind of fundamentally flawed #because in a lot of ways it’s just a patchwork of like 3 other ocs stories #it’s not good webcomic material! wasn’t really meant to be one #and yet #I really really really really want to tell the story of how ripley and Jeremy became friends!! #I love them so MUCH!!! #U GUYS NEED TO SEE THE SHIT IN MY BRAIN!! CRAZY IN HERE #anyway #I dont know Im just pondering the horror of it all #dropping off my daily ripley drawing #my art #src

[italictext]

Desperately fighting back the urge to reread the land of stories :( So here have some doodles I made :>

#The land of stories #Tlos fanart #My art #Skylene Lavenders #Xanthous Hayfield #A tale of magic #They're probably off because I drew them from memory #Ok but like was no one going to tell me that (Spoiler for a tale of sorcery!!) that Xanthous gets a boyfriend?? WHAT #I only read the first book of a tale of magic. I should read the others. #I also want to reread Artemis Fowl so I'll make fanart of that too But also pls imagine #Au where arty is the one who's hunting Kira. You see my vision right?? It will be so sooo cool. #Also going to draw Red soon <33 Red is cool she's my fave. And froggy! #Bree is cool too I should draw her

You cut me to pieces! It's your fault I'm a complete wreck!

(au by @omoriboii)

#omori #omori aubrey #omori au #dreamscape au #my art #tw eyestrain #happy birthday aubrey! here's fanart for an au version of you LMAO #jokes aside chapter 10 of dreamscape solidified aubrey as my fave. she's trying her fucking best but SOMEONE'S too much of a bitch to tell #right so this piece in particular has a bit of a story #so first i wanted to make it a whole animatic because it's based on a song! #(that song is 1/4 by circusp if you were curious. it's v fitting of DS auby i think) #but then i realized that idea was too ambitious when i started drawing out storyboard thumbnails #so i decided to make it a comic based on a specific set of lyrics! #(specifically the last set. the caption for this piece is a lyric from that section lol) #and then i started drawing out thumbnails for THAT and decided it was too ambitious #so i settled on drawing two pieces and having them glitch into each other. like a flashback! #this was fun to draw! it took awhile (two days) but i'm happy with the results #for the most part at least hehe #there's a little more commentary i can provide but i think i'll keep it here bc i'm rambling lol

in a perfect world frontiers would've leaned more heavily onto the elements of exploration and combat, taking the wonder rise of lyric wanted to create with the way it places the player into ancient ruins and abandoned facilities to learn more about them, and replicating the love that went into unleashed's werehog gameplay that gave us a fleshed out combo system and a competent beat-em-up. alas sega is a coward, and in this essay i will -

#soda offers you a can #admittedly rise of lyric doesn't exactly give you the lore it wants to because of Everything #i imagine having to rewrite the whole story last-minute for a game you know is a lost cause does not motivate you- #-to motivate you to create new lore that's in line with the new guidelines you have to follow #but it has the spirit still. RoL lets you explore these old places yourself and see everything that remains in them #it gives you material to work with and lets you fill in the blanks #it draws attention to these things and shows them to you and tells you hey! people were here once! #frontiers gives you structures but a funny pyramid isn't really enough on its own #it's all just weird buildings and structures and not much else. it's strange but simultaneously not enough to make you think #RoL gives you old machines and vast chambers filled with technology and dig sites #and those all have personality to them and they feel like something #frontiers's structures rarely feel like anything even if you know they're supposed to #they're neat but not much beyond that #and the combat is. fine. but it's no unleashed. and there's a reason people mod it all the time #frontiers has the building blocks for a game that combines several things i love but the execution falls short unfortunately and it pains m

i might not be able to ocpost in form of a new drawing today (fucking damnit) but.,,,, have this more than a year old drawing of the oc lore mc,, (his name is yaku, or okazaki yaku if you wanna use the full name). pls hold this little critter as i try to give some tiny bit of oc lore info about this guy and the main antagonist below the cut

Yaku is more of a confused and anxious guy at the start as he literally knows nothing (he just died and got to afterlife, let him have a moment to adapt). Which then gradually turns into being more serious and (mostly) collected in specific situations, while also being a big overthinker that is nervous about anything sudden happening. He is a 20 year old man that slowly forms a family bond with like. everyone at his now "forever" job (Except for a few). That same job being fucking hand-picked out of the billions of people out there to become one of the warriors at the top company of what would be "Hell" to take on many different tasks and requests, as well as the protection of the world he now belongs to. Though at the same job, Yaku is considered as 𝘵𝘩𝘦 weakest employee/warrior, literally weaker than the fighter that is a child (All because of a certain lore mechanic for those same warriors or fighters but it is,,, too much to explain in one post). All the employees were supposed to be blessed by the Gods as to truly be worth of the role that grants great responsibility for the billion of souls living in the same world they are in, and Yaku did get his blessing, Blessing of Thunder.

Moving a bit further from that, Yaku has very big attachment issues in a way that he will get emotionally attached to someone a bit toooo hard if he truly enjoys their company (literally what happened with him and all of his coworkers he loves them all so much). The problem is that one of those of coworkers is quite literally the main antagonist, Kenix or Yi Dal if you prefer his real name (has lore mechanics attached to him based off one of the Deadly Seven Sins). Yea Kenix's and Yaku's relationship is fucking complicated, especially since Kenix is Yaku's uncle (i don't have the time to explain the confusing family tree okay)

Kenix has a brain rot going on, in the quite literal sense (He is cursed and with each day, he loses his sanity and detaches from himself more and more to the point of not being able to have full control over his actions if he is just. a tad bit more insane than usual), so he treats Yaku very badly in the first story arc. He wants to feel guilt over his actions, he desperately wants to be able to feel empathy for his nephew - but with every passing day, he is forgetting about his morals as he is losing 𝘩𝘪𝘮𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧. Despite all that, Yaku is already way too heavily attached to Kenix as he is his relative (some heavy found family shit is going on), so he tries to see the best in him, give Kenix a new chance each time to prove that he can get better. But that is not happening any time soon, Yaku,,,,

anyways ending the ocpost at this. I am sorry if this is a cringe premise for the lore but i swear. i poured my heart into this for more than two years and it means so so SO much to me it is my most comfort thing ever, it will make sense later on with more posts like these [screaming and crying] (and if you wanna,,, you can send asks about specific oc lore parts you want to know or just the ocs in general,,, just saying)

#yea i would say get them both to therapy but they are beyond repair as the story progresses on #PLEASE TELL ME IT IS NOT CRINGE. I AM TRYING SO HARD TO MAKE AN INTERESTING STORY. UWAAAAGHHH😭😭 #yomo ocs?! #<- might become my oc tag #anyways if you want to learn more about these guys #please please PLEASE send asks or questions about them i will gladly answer and explain all the oc lore. #i just want.. for people to be truly interested in their stories because they mean the world to me #yomoposting #txt #ocs #my ocs #oc lore #oc stuff #there are like 33 characters i have in total. i have to draw them all at some point

[end-orfino]

ahhhhhh i remember why i dont read comics & books and watch movies as much as I should. Because they make me lose it

#i get suddenly hit with a tsunami of inspiration and an urgency to Make Something #but the urgency isn't about the process of making it's about I Have Stories To Present Too. I have to See Them Realized. #and that hit of urgency is obviously far too short lived to make anything. esp since it comes in a set with a feeling of 'wow this- #-thing was so great' that transforms into intensified perfectionism of No No What Im Doing Here Isnt Good. What Is This. Disgrace- #-to my idea AND to what inspired it AND to my self proclaimed status as an amateur storyteller #which turns into artblock. so like low chances that ill even get a singular good drawing made during this #and the multiple comic or script or whatever ideas that appear in my head during this are out of the question entirely #oh and all of this appears next to the normal feelings caused by a good story like attachment to the characters and having to process it- #-for a while and if its very good then even sometimes rarely i get the need to make fanart #so all of this combined just leads to me not being able to do anything for a while and feeling awful about it. #fun./sar #i wish i was a normal artist people here are so resilient and do stuff even though they dont want to or they DO want to #because idk they enjoy being pissed bcs of a thing not turning out right and they dont mind how tedious it can get- #-and they enjoy sacrificing hours&days&months of their lives without a guarantee that anyone will appreciate it accordingly and itll pay of #its probably the resilience though #im weak like a dried twig both mentally and physically #this sounds like i never enjoyed drawing&writing ever. and to clarify thats far from true. i frequently enjoy it #just never frequently enough and consistently enough to actually make something more 'worthwhile' or linear #it's like a wind that comes & goes that i have no control over. #i try to keep telling myself that in the past i struggled to make anything 'bigger'....& know i even made animatic shitposts #this sounds so stupid god. an animatic shitpost being an achievement. #its not an art skill achievement its a fighting tooth and nail with my own self to actually finish it because its a struggle almost every- #-time achievement #what im saying is im trying to tell myself that i already improved. im doing more than i could have done in the past. #even if the process is so slow and i dont know when ill advance again #if ill advance again. i just gotta believe i guess? thank u parappa
