Sensitivity And Creativity

The most creative people are often also the most sensitive. Creatives not only see the world differently, but we also feel the world differently. Simply put, creatives feel more. We experience everything more intensely. But with these amplified sensitivities, the world can become extremely overwhelming at times. This is why sensitivity and creativity seem to go hand-in-hand so often. A…

So, I Finally Made a Maze Book!

Well, I did it. Just to see what the process was like. It was easy. I'll do it again. What do you think?

I had some time recently, and I wanted to see what the process was to publish a print-on-demand book from Amazon. I grabbed a bunch of my smaller easy mazes with no discernable theme that I had previously posted here & on Instagram, and assembled them into a book. All of them were scanned in & maybe fixed a bit with paint.NET, and I put the pages of the book together with OpenOffice, so my only…

#it makes me so happy when i think about all the kids are all artistically inclined in their own way #theres only so much i could show with these images but theres more #i wanted to show the way amity plays with goo and molds it to her design is art in its own right #but its worth noting that she also writes! #and luz drawing and writing are her most notable creative outlets #but she also does taxidermy!! and she has an interest in theater. she edited romeo and juliet to be more visually appealing. and bloody #gus too!! gus can draw really well!! #but i think he expresses himself creatively the most through his illusions #its drama. its kinda like theater performances. its a one man show #but its also conjuring images from your imagination. hes also the director yknow

You're not a failed artist.

After over almost two decades on the internet, entering various art communities and establishing my online presence, I've noticed something.

The persistent idea that you've "failed" as an artist if you get a "real job" will not go away.

This, for the longest time, permeated my electronic meat slab and nestled in deeply MUCH to my detriment . For years I fought with myself over this idea. Self-flagellating and noisy, negative thoughts were almost suffocating because I was unable to Do Art As A Job consistently and efficiently enough to maintain a living off of it. Between navigating life for almost 30 years not knowing I was autistic (and all that entails) and trying to turn something I love into something I could make a living off of, it was a vicious and repetitive cycle of trying something new, getting burned out, entering a depressive state, climbing out of it, rinse and repeat. This is clearly unsustainable, especially now that I am more independent in my adult life; bills aren't going to wait for me to get out of my depressive funks. Even having jobs and still making art on the side today, this idea is still nestled in there, nagging me sometimes.

Would I like to make a living off of my art? Of course! Would it be even better if I was supported from making stuff from my own IP's? You fucking bet. But I know how I operate, I know I can't personally do that (yet? maybe?). Now, I realize not everyone can just go get a job, and I don't want this to come off as a rally cry to Just Go Out and Work (I know many creative people are disabled or have other reasons they cannot work), but I do want to stress that its okay if art needs to remain more of a hobby than a job. It is okay if you cannot sustain yourself solely as a living artist. Over the years, I've burned myself out so god damn hard and have watched others work themselves to (near) death or can barely scrape by because of this incessant feeling that we need to be doing art 100% of the time to have "made it". It is hurting us both physically and emotionally to keep this shit up.

Going forward, we have to do better. There is no shame in having an income that is not dependent on the things you make. I think that it can help alleviate a lot of stress and fatigue that can become associated with creating (and thus, making it hard to do something you love). We need to learn to be kinder to ourselves and unlearn comparing our experiences to what we see from other creative peers on social media. Its hard, finding work sucks ass, and no job will be perfect, but if it can help you survive a little easier and rekindle your relationship for creating the things you love to make, it'll make a world of difference.

You are not a failed artist. You're doing what you can so you can keep doing what you love.

#*Real Job is used here within the context of mainly not getting employment in a creative field #I know that many creative people are able to get jobs within creative fields #but even that can help alleviate the financial pressure of having your creative outlet be draining #because your livelihood depends on it #Also I would like to note that while it would be nice to have UBI and more support for the arts in general in the US #that is not the case in the current economic setting and I fear it won't be that way for a while so working will have to do for now. #UBI would fix me #art #artists #creative burnout

the new video was greatly needed if watcher had any hopes of staying afloat. unfortunately, this backpedaling does not change the fact that

1) high production "television quality" content is what they want to make

2) this content is evidently not what people want to watch (even post-apology i'm seeing a lot of people saying they liked bfu better than anything watcher has produced)

again, if they have a clear vision of what they want to make, that's great. but unless there's a market for that content, then it's not going to turn a profit, or break even for that matter. yes, artists deserve to be paid for their work, but art is always bought by people who want and have an interest in said art.

im an artist pursuing my dreams too, but i don't expect people to buy my niche paintings just on the principle that i am an artist creating what i want. if i wanted to make money from this and turn it into a business, i would take commissions and specifically create what other people want. that is what having any kind of artistic job is about, unfortunately.

it's great if what you want to create and what people want to see overlap, but that's not always the case. and i really fear this is the case with watcher and they won't pivot enough to fix any of their problems

#here's an example #i know gmm is a way bigger company but #rhett and link do gmm stuff #but occasionally produce something a lot more involved and creative that is inspired solely by their wants #those videos dont do nearly as good as gmm does #but its an outlet for them to still have some creative control #and the people who like those videos love them (im one of them!) #so it is possible to both produce content that is profitable and to make content that pleases you as an artist #you just have to find a balance with it and unfortunately watcher has no balance at all #like even watcher's 'lower quality' work uses so many resources like. guys theres a reason youre bleeding money #and people giving you $6 isnt going to fix it #they need an overhaul #cut back to basics to find their footing before trying these super ambitious projects that they're not sure will pay off #watcher #im talking again

After years of being told I sucked at drawing by my teachers and peers, I told my brother I wanted to teach myself how to draw in my own style so I can express my headcanons and hyperfixations instead of trying to write when my brain won’t let me. He bought me my very first sketch book and pencils for Christmas which I’ve already decorated, and Tina Ruth Belcher is presiding. Sounds lame, but I’m so proud of myself🥹🩵

#I literally mentioned it to him one time he’s so cute😭 #my adhd has made writing a real struggle recently #and that’s usually my main creative outlet #I’m too tired with work and health stuff has been weird so my mind is mush #I also drew Kuchi Kopi but didn’t photograph him yet :( #I’ve been sat with my parents for a solid 2 hours drawing some of my favourite characters I’m so relaxed #they’re not good by any means #but I’ll find my own style in time #just gotta be patient🥰 #bobs burgers #tina belcher #christmas gift #christmas presents #sketchbook #amateur artist #finding my style

Anywho, I'm back again, bringing goods for my fellow "dyed hair, dream pixie chic, goth" with ex related trauma audience.

5, 9 and 16 for that artist ask meme!

5. favorite little detail in a drawing you did

this one was kind of hard to answer because i lean so much more to simplification over 1:1 detail... that said, i really loved these ones!

the bag from the top photo is from here, minato nui on left is from some con-related draws, the ballpoint splatling on right is from a vintage draws compilation!

i just really enjoy drawing little objects and props, and as much as i'm allergic to backgrounds, i hope to overcome that next year because my friends know i love getting obsessed over random objects for a few days...

9. any new art mediums youve tried (or overall styles if you havent tried new mediums)

i haven't gotten to do much mediums outside of digital art unfortunately.... but i would say this year was the year of chibification! i turned so many characters into little guys this year (shoutout to the nui tree!). which is really ironic because i also realized this year i find full illustrations more satisfying to work on throughout the process, despite the "simplicity" of chibis.

i did some limited color styles too! (blue, purple, and red + b/w). hopefully i can do more deliberate color palette stuffs though. i think it'd be a great exercise.

stylistically wise i think i could've tried more, but. its ok! thats what 2024 is for. yipee!

16. favorite piece of art from someone else (if you have one)

it feels like a cop out answer to say this but any gift art i got of my splatoon character... LOL... i didn't expect to get so attached to him (i changed my name in game to minatoast a JOKE!!!!). um. drops this gallery link here and scuttles away. im so very grateful. you're telling me people actually took time out of their day to draw my little guy? incredible!

ocs aside, i'd like to take the time to highlight some art from people on twitter (kitaro havers rise up!), since i do consider the things i reblog to be art i'm very fond of...

this art from tin of ryomina with flowers is so. oh my god. i was SO BEWILDERED AND HAPPY!!! i was minding my own business and then saw this rt'd on one of my friend's pages... i forget who lol but i was like "WAIT TIN Kick_TheeCan DREW RYOMINA??? I LOVE THEIR ART OF THE P3 PROTAG WHAT." i feel like i got pushed down a staircase in tartarus (positive)

and this art from chris (str3wberryy), my god, the composition fucks severely. i want to eat it. he also has an alt account on twitter (@/makotoyukilover) if you want to see more of their p3 protag arts :D

i also enjoyed seeing p3 arts from yamad_125, BSZZOWL, and elulit2. im so serious if you like ryominaigis you'll probably like taking a gander at these artist's media tabs! i find my way to see the twitter arts one way or another, nothing can stop me 👁👄👁

#lizzy askbox #RAAH IM SO GLAD YOU ASKED QUESTION 16!!! #i am filled with love for artists. and similarly to the question of what styles you take inspiration from #it was really hard to not write a text wall or link multiple.. #but i've been itching to outlet somewhere how much i adore some of the art i see on twitter... #like ik i can just log into my acc again but the idea of being perceived on twt makes me antsy so i just dont #i literally vibrate in place and shake back and forth and quake whenever i see art. sometimes it occupies my brain for HOURS like. wow... #i want to draw like you... or.... wow.. it's so clear to me that you really love what you draw / that you're putting in time to practice... #and i know i linked p3 mostly but sometimes i see peoples portfolios for visdev and i go GODDAMN IM IN LOVE WITH YOU WHAT DID U STUDY #anyway... thank you again! this is so fun. my appreciation for 2023 is going up from this hehe
