Description Made in 2018
Made w/ MS Paint 3D (using Mouse)

I've somehow "forgot" to submit this oneΒ (i.e. never felt motivated enough to explain my whole odd decision to go with a "mash every particularly great weakness of mine into one single project"-impulse).

There was a Lovely Tweet going around at the same time I was in the middle of drawing my whole "WLW Couples for Pride Month (2018) "-thing (I INTENDED to make 4 total during June, but got a lot busier than I had expected Β½ way through and completely postponed the last 2 for a couple of months before finishing this one real quick. Have a 4th - Daphne/Velma - one mapped out, but I doubt I'll ever actually draw it, at this point) and that tweet made me think so much about these two (RB/Stormy. Also: "Girlfriends" GOALS!) I couldn't resist giving my initial vision a shot, even though I KNEW there was just too many components of the idea that was waaay out of my skill-level - especially as I'd also decided to stick with the "MS Paint in Colors"-format all the way through.

The BIGGEST problem, however, was of course that it entailed having to attempt creating a background/landscape (*hyperventilating*), which is something I've avoided the shit out of since I was... like... 13? and some particularly malicious comments were made in regards to my "art" (and I KNOW this is a flaw on MY OWN part, but I've never had that "just MORE motivated to prove hate & rudeness wrong"-response in me IN THE LEAST. On the contrary, I unfortunately have a sort of tendency to feel such great humiliation and defeat that, throughout my life, it's often discouraged me completely from even bothering trying harder altogether. That said, ALSO: Fuck those assholes!). But basically, yes, I REALIZE this could have been made by your average preteen, but I'm also pretty happy about having finally allowed myself out of a comfort zone I've been stuck in for the actually longest time, too.

Wow...
So this is what you've been up to. NICE!

To bad I can't look at it for too long without hearing that snobbish voice...

TY!

Still haven't got back into the habit of drawing again since October, though. How are YOUR art-projects coming along? Been trying out any of the (if I remember correctly) oil paint or colored pencil stuff yet?

Let's just imagine that the sound of Skydancer striking down right next to him is enough to drown out Starlite's snooty commentary (just the Swe version, or Eng too, btw?).
