Description
That's kinda what happened lolI ended up having to add a couple colours to the original palette though, I tried a few things but I think this looked best.
Then I was definitely procrastinating actual work I had to do, and ended up animating it too ahah. It's really simple, but honestly I'm kinda happy with how it turned out? I'm not a very good animator yet and I've always wanted to do something kinda like this with windy hair and I'm glad I finally did. And it's even coloured with clean lineart too.
...
Sorry, this ended up just being a vent so don't worry about reading it eheh
Haven't been feeling great about my art lately... For a few months now I've started to not like my style?? Which kinda sucks 'cause I've been working on it since I started here on dA, which is around 6 years now...
Maybe it's 'cause I've been posting mostly comms and they've mostly been sketches and flat colour? Idk.
I made this, tried to show it to my family but my stepdad said he didn't like it when I asked...that "it's well made but not his jam" specifically, when I asked him if he liked it...
A similar reaction to when I tried to show my pluschi species ideas to them...
I don't wanna share my art anymore lol it's not the first time...when I first tried alcohol markers around Christmas(I ended up not posting it lol but maybe I will, idk it's not very good...) I asked him what he thought, genuinely meaning it and he said I worked too small. And yeah sure, I can take that but then he went on about ohh hey the Mona Lisa was small right? Then saying "but you're not making Mona Lisas."
I mean true, but OOF...
Idk this kinda ended up being a vent I'm sorry, things have just been piling up and piling up since we moved almost exactly a year ago now...I do have a clinical diagnosis for my anxiety, but I'm really feeling like I might have depression as well, nothing makes me feel good, and maybe derealization/depersonalization issues? Idk. This site is not really somewhere I've ever brought too much of my personal life, especially not recently, I really want to be "professional" on here and my little sister watches me...
I just don't have any other outlet or really any friends IRL so Idk what else to do haha. Maybe I can make a vent acc or smth...
...
Do you guys wanna see more personal art and things? Or fanart? I usually get embarrassed about all that kinda stuff and not everything even gets finished...so I really end up prioritizing owed art because I HAVE to post that, of course. Idk, maybe I'll make a poll about it.
Idk man life is hard and I just wanna make people happy XD

Omgosh what a lovely comment?? ;~;
I'm glad you got so much from this piece, it makes it feel like it was worth posting after all(not that I'm searching for compliments at all! it just means a lot that sharing my art makes it possible for it to mean something to someone else)
And yeah man, sometimes simple art can be a little underrated I think.
I haven't animated tears for a while so I'm glad they look okay hsakfjfsd, I wasn't able to do exactly what I wanted with them, but I'm glad it still looks okay! And ahhh it means so much you like this character, I get nervous showing him to people now but I've been drawing him a lot because I really love him, and as you likely know from the contest I'm working on a story with him and lol I'm rambling too, just means a lot to hear that people do like this character. He loves you too XD <3

Nah he's honestly a chill dude...he's been my dad most of my life too...he talks about sometimes his parents weren't on board with his more artistic dreams a such so I get it...
That does still hurt when you're so young and starting to express yourself, and I'm really sorry that happened, that's so awful...
I like the poem, I like it a lot.
I'm glad that fresh started ended up being for the best though, that's awesome and I'm proud of you too ^^
Maybe, we'll see.
And maybe a comment meant to be lighthearted, or a concerned reaction to something dark coming from your child, but it does still hurt to feel misunderstood and not supported by comments like that if that's how they come across.
