idk how to explain brin, but i drew this after barely drawing for months :)

brin's like, yet another background character i've decided to thrust into the spotlight? her existence is due to a writing exercise where i wrote snippets based on bdg's abba covers, and her purpose now is to serve as a vessel to explore zolaen religion in noveia. and noveais colour theory!

(red symbolizes repentence, asking forgiveness, and rebirth. white symbolizes pestilence and death.)

The feral impulse to point out every little detail you included in a piece because you’re proud of the callbacks and such you snuck in but you have to leave it so the audience discovers it themselves so you just sit there biting your fingers and staring really hard

#yeah... #<3

#me w/ my writing literally all the time #i need to process something/work through it? *pulls out pen and paper* okay which character can i project this onto?

just so yall know

art block is your brain telling you to do studies.

draw a still life. practice some poses. sketch some naked people. do a color study. try out a different technique on a basic shape.

art block doesnt stop you from drawing, it stops you from making your drawings look the way you want them to. and thats because you need to push your skills to the next level so you can preform at that standard

think of it as level grinding for your next work.

For all you worldbuilders out there, I don't know if you know, but r/worldbuilding on Reddit made this Google Doc with a ton of resources they gathered. Thought that might help some of you.

Don't you sometimes get an absolutely extrodinary, mind blowing, such an awesome idea for a story, but you just don't have enough skill level to pull it off?

I’m obsessed with made-up drama between my own nonexistent little guys. like “oh nooooo how are they gonna solve this one???” but literally none of these people are real

hi the ship names you come up with are literally so good???? i am amazed and inspired <3

also, unrelated, but: sometimes a family is a redhead child of the sun and the fae king with severe adhd, a he/she adoptive elf dad, several werewolves, a smartass best friend, a trans girl, and several magicians <3

thank you so much I appreciate that!

and !!! they all sound so cool!

A comic to try and sort through some difficult feelings about being an artist and a reminder to not forget who you are.

Two things I want artists to consider:

Ugly Art is not a state of being

Ugliness is inevitable no matter your skill level

Your favorite artist is fucking up the contrast, they are over-blending, they are applying odd lighting, the only difference between you and them is the ability to understand and fix those things from experience

Improvement should be about learning to correct mistakes when they happen and working toward a process thats comfortable for you

Trying to escape your ~ugly art~, being ultra strict with your expectations, chasing the chameleon ass tastes & trends of social media, you will grow to hate this shit and burn out 😩

i love writers who procrastinate, i love writers who focus on things other than writing, i love writers with a million wips, i love writers who constantly abandon stories, i love writers who haven't written in months, i love writers who write "cringey" stories, i love writers who let themselves go with the flow and do what they want to do instead of pressuring themselves to fit a specific writer mold
