So there's this one zine...

As you can tell by me spamming posts about it here, i did a page for @mcrswarmzine this summer! It's about my hectic 2022 mcr show experience in Warsaw, and i think it reflects my feelings about that well.

Idk there's something about seeing your art printed in a book that changes you as a person (i'm yet to get mine in the mail though)

Btw digital versions of this HUGE thing are still available, so check those out!

#mcr #swarm tour #mcrswarmzine #mcr warsaw #what can i say. i am in a ditch as an artist and i can complain about this and that aspect of my style #but this was not to make pretty art #this was honest and it feels good #sure wish i didn't finish this while traveling

this has been done before hasn't it. tosses him at you all anyways.

(i could honestly write an essay just on my hcs about him and sexuality but. i digress.)

I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!! Okay so honestly I have been very very inconsistent over the years with just disappearing for periods of time due to various things 😂 So it probably seemed pretty normal to most people.

But it felt different on my side, so I'm excited to be back in business. I took a month long hiatus! 31 days of not drawing digital art. Its not something I talk about on here? But I've been suffering from some serious long term Art Burnout for.... a really really long time. Long enough that I should've taken a break probably years ago. It finally got so bad that I could barely draw. I was scared to do it (cause it always looked "bad" in my eyes [i'll come back to that]) and doing it was exhausting and disheartening.

I talked it over with somebody and realized that the fear and anger and frustration I felt towards my own artwork was uh. Not Normal or Healthy. And I finally committed to taking a real break for once.

I still drew a little bit by hand? Traditional art has always felt like it has lower stakes for me (i don't often share it online, and sometimes I don't even share it with friends) so I did some of that when I felt like it. But Digital art was completely off the table.

I had put such an immense pressure on myself to make my digital art perfect, to make as much of it as quickly as possible to satisfy something. It wasn't fun anymore. I'm proud of what i've made over the years! But for a long time now the stuff I've been making was made while hating every second of making it. With some rare exceptions.

I hated my art! It was a combination of Perfectionism, taking in too many external expectations, and the burnout. If you hate doing something its kinda hard to love it even when you want too lol. It wasn't "Bad" in the sense that the quality was low and it was ugly! It was "Bad" in the sense that it was unhealthy for me to keep doing it at that point in time.

I'm glad to report though, that with my hiatus officially over as of Wednesday last week: I am once again. In Love. With doing art, and being an artist :)

I put off taking a break for years cause I was scared that taking a break would mean that I would never achieve all the things I wanted to do with art. I was scared it was a stupid and lazy thing to do that would mean I'd never achieve my dreams. And Also even though I kinda hated drawing, I also loved making art. Its a weird duality that I can't even really explain??? I hated it but I also loved it. I wanted it but I also wanted to run from it. It wasn't until I was more mature and had more clarity and insight (and unfortunately also until the problems got worse) that I was finally able to let go of those fears and just do it.

And I'm really really glad I did. It was everything I needed. And I hope to strike a better balance in the future with art. Taking more breaks when I need them, or just when other things have my attention like reading or Video games (Some star rail got played during this time xD)

From the outside things probably aren't going to be that different?? At this point I don't really have any sure plans to post anything I've been drawing since my Hiatus ended. I might or I might not xD I'm still a hobbyist artist taking things at her own pace, but I hope that it shows how much happier I am :)

Whumptober 2023 is being officially put to rest by this post btw! I was in major burnout when that event started, and I'm ready to just, move on from all the past expectations I'd shoved on my shoulders. If I feel like filling any of the prompts or going back to any of the ideas I'd come up for it I will! But I'm not going to worry about doing it unless the desire sets in. Thanks to everybody who's been so kind to me throughout my time on here as an artist! Ya'lls tags and screaming and kind words, the fanfic, the asks and the responses? Its been fantastic :) You guys have made me laugh, smile, and cry tears of joy. I hope from here that things only get better and sweeter! And if I have bad days again, that's okay too.

Here's to 2024 and whatever it may bring ya'll :D 🎉🎉✨✨🧡💜

#isa screams #long post #gif #flashing #i think? Lemme know if I'm incorrect on that one alksdjfLKSJDJDSG #I don't normally talk this much so its kinda strange? #its kinda nice to be more honest about this stuff though #I'm a bit more of a private person so its hard to find the balance between wanting to discuss things openly and honestly #but with the fact that I don't owe the entire world an explanation for everything I do #its a tricky thing #but today I felt like doing this and I think that's okay #if i regret it I just won't do it again alsdjLSDJLFJSGSDG #thanks if you read this! I appreciate it! #I'm a pretty smalltime artist relatively. So sometimes it feels as though it doesn't mater what i say or express. #But hm. I doubt its really that simple or bleak #And if I don't respect myself then well. Who will right? #And I want to learn how to be happy with how little or how much I get #part of the reason I've done so poorly mentally as an artist is chasing numbers and outside praise instead of asking the harder questions #am i happy with what i do? what I make? Who I am #I'm going to probably be working on those questions and problems for the rest of my life. #But thats okay. Thats not a bad thing :)

Figmin XR is now a top-selling app on the Quest store and my favorite part about it finally blowing up is seeing Random Tech Dudes who just do NOT get it all:

"oh no, a whimsical environment full of rainbows, unicorns, fairies, and other stereotypically feminine and/or childish imagery. DISGUSTING. better compare this to the Vapid Youths and their Myspace pages"

like sorry you hate fun I guess??? (the person this guy was talking to responded with "this is appealing to children, who also use technology", which is the correct answer, btw)

#incessant meowing #i'm so glad no one uses tumblr so i have at least one place to talk shit lmao #i've spent the better part of this month just casually seeing strangers publicly discuss my art which has been wild #most people love it and i am grateful 🙏 but it's still mostly just anxiety central to be honest #this is the kind of thing you dream of as an artist but now that's it's actually happening it's like OH FUCK!! #i am being Perceived #anyways i have to go back to making MORE FUNLOVING WHIMSICAL VIDEOS #i haven't been here much but i hope everyone is having a good october and looking forward to halloween

hello hello here is my legally obligated Art Vs. Artist for 2023!!

I struggled a bit more with inspiration and motivation this year, but I still managed to make some art that I’m proud of and enjoyed creating! I did a fair bit of OC art, contributed to Art Fight, had an unexpected amount of fun painting eggs, and of course still had time to squeeze in some slutty Izzy art <3 (albeit not nearly as much as last year).

all in all, a bit of a random mix this year, but I’m hoping to make more progress and regain some proper inspiration in 2024 :))

as always, thank you a million times to everyone who supports my art (especially to those who supported me opening my brand new inprnt shop!!) I truly mean it when I say every comment, every reblog, and every sweet message means the world to me <333 I’m eternally grateful :)

#art vs artist #my art #of course I am doing this at the last minute but like. what else did you expect #to be completely honest I don’t think I really made much progress this year :/… but that doesn’t mean I’m not proud of what I made!! #it may be small progress but any progress always counts :)) #I’m just looking forward to hopefully regaining my motivation soon and having fun with art again!! #Izzy was truly my one and only muse for like 1.5 years so I think now that my hyperfix is faded my brain is genuinely kind of lost💀💀 #god pls send me a new hyperfixation soon

I never wrote about winning the cosplay contest at STSF (lol wild), but here's the prize certificate:

On the one hand, I (almost didn't enter and) didn't think I was going to win, but on the other hand, they kept talking about a cash prize. And ok, cash prizes have weird legal issues or whatever, but this certificate is bound only to the Creation merch tables, where they sell t-shirts and bags with AI art on them. I asked what I could use it for and the lady said "maybe" I could put it towards a photo op, but it also says no tickets, so that's still up in the air.

That night, Eugene Cordero was hanging out with us at the afterparty (lol hey Rutherford (!!!???) you're super chill) and someone mentioned I'd won the contest/I probably said something about my $500 worthless prize. So he signed it to make it worth "less"

ANYWAY, all this to say

If I can use it towards a photo op (doubtful), and there is a group Voyager cast shot (cause hello expensive and I am, how you say, not formally employed), I think it'd be hilarious to do Threshold mutant Tom Paris

It seems highly doubtful, but it's a thought that at least keeps me quite amused

#still undecided if partially transformed or fully #either way #in my mind it is the height of hilarity #but I high key doubt they'll let me put it towards a photo op #if not I'm just gonna have actors keep signing it at creation events #I am amused at the prospect #like confused and less than thrilled at the prize lets be honest #cause I don't want $500 of AI art shirts when they can't even pay an artist #and the ones that don't sell are probably going to the Atacama desert anyway #I probably could've used $500 actual dollar bucks #especially when the guy on stage keeps repeating cash prize #going to actually make the other cosplay post but this thought occurred to me #also maybe need to learn to keep my mouth shut cause was vocally criticizing the prize in earshot of creation employees lolol #there's the autism #cosplay updates #like I didn't do it for the prize I genuinely had a great time making and wearing the costume and just cosplaying in general #and I liked being on stage (lol I love public speaking) but the prize was like... ok #meanwhile my ex getting married and people in my life being full adults with responsibilities and I'm over here like #I'm unemployed and played dress up for a niche nerd ref from 30 years ago and now I have $500 I can't really use anywhere #melts into oblivion #every day is threshold day

Alright I'll bite just bc I found it funny

Anon who I already blocked on sighingt and won't be able to see this(probably)

How does it feel to call someone a ugly lonely bitch when bitch is someone who gets so much pusy society made it a derogatory word? How does it feel to have a voice of a five years old? And call the representation in your mind of me ugly if I tecnicaly don't even exist in your area?

You make one aroace post and the 5years old think they are so smart, you are proving you are more lonely than me sweety💞 I got friends and mutuals to pamper while you are out there trying to be mean and useless💞

#you know your post whent to the wrong crowd when this happens. #lovely how that post was just a reafirmation that i exists and am ABSOLUTELY NOT ALONE DID YOU SAW THE COMENTS ON THERE?! #people had so much stories to share and indignation with the starus quo as I have. there is also so much reĺief to not be the only one #first anon hate i am finaly a tumblr blogger fr. that's also the only reason they get a post btw. it's a passage ritual #if you noticed they didn't even knew me too bc everyone know to 'hurt' and artist is to call their art ugly. that's such a low hanging frui #and they didn't even did it. bet they saw aroace and zomed on tge ask box to feel superior. oh you poor stupid imbecile #i've got bullies worst than you when I was 5 if i'm being honest. gringos n sobreviveriam um dia com o bully brasileiro

I don't actually go here, but have this little sketch that I made for @frogtossing that might have gotten a little out of hand. Woopsies.

(I was looking through some Joker Out tags out of interest and got stuck on watching some music videos and the one for New Wave?? I like the vibes a lot)

#Okay bear with me here #I know next to nothing about all of this; I am way out of my usual areas of expertise so if I am missing tags let me know #Joker Out #Jan Peteh #Digital art #I will be honest the most fun was scribbling in the background #I also took some artistic liberties with his jacket (I couldn't be bothered to spend more time on it) #And I am so sorry if his face doesn't look closer to how he actually looks I did my best #I am and will always be someone who prefers faceless characters and monsters #But I did my best #Hope you like this Tossing! If you don't there will be no refunds #Except maybe I might make you a second autism creature plush if that were the case #Also I know the colors are off #That is also an artistic liberty I took #(I repeat this was supposed to be a sketch; the fact that there is a background at all is already incredible to me) #((I made this in about 45 minutes which is a record time for me))

So, to clarify... you hate Kagami's hair?

Its just immensely hard to draw

It's not just a bob cut there are random chunks that make it so ????? Like the shape of everything changes

It can be perfectly round when you look up at her then a square from a lower angle where the entire mass seemingly changes too like this hair could not exist in reality

I could simplify it to only having it be a round glob but it just dont feel right to me bc it really ain't that simple with those random chunks from her sides which are not symmetrical btw being a key part of her look to me and-

#ANYWAYS I STUDY THIS SHIT HARD #ml #mlb #miraculous ladybug #kagami tsurugi #ask #its an artist thing honest dont mind me #its just weird but fascinating #and i like drawing it even if im constantly adjusting it bit by bit to get it to look accurate to the og #hard work is what i am saying #i like to freehand draw any character from any angle but with kagami it aint possible she look too diff from every angle i NEED a ref #a challenge
