We'd both been so excited for it-- to change, to grow stronger, to pass another life-changing milestone on our adventure together. But after I evolved, it took weeks before Sora could even bring herself to look me in the eyes. It went unsaid between us, poisoning our hearts like a cold, bitter curse and haunting every intake of breath. Although, the worst of it all... was that even without words, we both knew why it hurt so much.
Like some sick joke, I had become the spitting image of him.
Ya'll know that feeling when you [Hero] try to evolve into a Leafeon to be closer in spirit to the best friend you lost [Grovyle] because you miss him so much it physically aches, but instead you end up looking like the guy you trusted/adored that betrayed/tried to kill you and your girlfriend? Cause damn it hurts.
Anyways ever since I replayed EOS and evolved at Luminous Spring I've had thoughts about what Sora's reaction would be to Echo's evolution into Umbreon. And lemme tell you that it's an emotional roller coaster. To say that Sora has complicated feelings about Dusknoir is an understatement, and Echo isn't so happy about it either since she had put her faith in him. They've got a lot of trauma to heal.
But to add to that, I like to write about my girls in my spare time when I'm not drawing cause it's fun, so maybe I'll post some little blurbs sometime if anyone is interested?? Hm. Yeah might do that eventually, we'll have to see.

it's just NOT FAIR!!!
... y'done?
... 🤔...
been rewatching gab smolders play killer frequency, and i wanted to doodle mikey while also trying to get some mouth-shape/teeth practice in. seems like a horror game mikey would like, and he and raph would get way too invested in (they get everyone out alive).

Let's talk about this.
Guys, how fast an artist is has nothing to do with how good they are.
Art isn't about speed, is about shortcuts. A 'good artist' is the one who knows these shortcuts and use them as they please. It's all about ability and skills and how they want to use it.
An artist that takes a whole week or a month to work on 1 piece is not better or worse than the artist who takes 3 hours for the same piece.
I'll talk about myself. It takes me a whole day to work on a piece. Not matter how detailed or how simple, it always takes me a whole day. Because I have things to do! Chores, cats and dogs to feed, rest, etc. And when I sit to work my whole mindset focus on that piece. I don't move from my desk until I have it done. Sometimes I finish at midnight, other at 2 am, even sometimes at 9 pm. Does this mean I put less or more effort? No, it means there were things I managed to get easier than others because I have a few shortcuts to help me get a better result. Sometimes it takes me 2 hours to finally start drawing, maybe because I didn't focus good at first, maybe I didn't have the idea clear in my mind, etc.
'So this artis is more valuable bc they take a whole month to finish my work' NO BINCH! it means they have a life outside art, it means they have a different mindset when it comes to work and they can only focus for a few hours, it means they need to finish their favorite game and working is in the way, etc, etc, etc.
You have to consider a ton of possibilities for why an artist takes the time they take for their work. Stop fixating in the result.
This is my callout to art enjoyers but mostly to artist friends as well. Don't force yourself to be as quick as other artists, their mindset is not the same as yours. If you take 3 weeks to finish a piece GREAT. If you take 2 hours GREAT.
As long as it's made with care the time spent on it is only another number.
