Ah man I tell you, I struggled a lot with those arms and I see the mistakes too, but it was the best I could do back then.

I'm not sure I'm much better now but I did learn some stuff while drawing this at least :'D

Your observations are quite correct there, humans are still very difficult for me indeed, I need more practice with them :') It's weird, the thing I see on a daily basis is the most difficult to draw xD

Thanks a lot tho <3

I'm not all that great on replies this year for some reason XD
I love it! Art of human Blade makes me the happiest for some reason. Maybe cause it's not done as often, so I appreciate every piece even more <3
Duuude I feel that too much. Trying to draw his new ref so the anatomy isn't as atrocious and oh lord, the anatomy is atrocious XD I gotta get into humans more

Yeah same xD I've been bad at it for a while now actually, I should really try to get better with that again :')

Aw, I'm glad i picked him as a subject then <3 Maybe I can draw him again when I studied some human anatomy and all that crap xD Or one of your other kids ;D

Ooh, I'm looking forward to it! But damn, Refs are hard enough but Refs of human characters are torture for us poor animal artists xD

I remember I used to be able to respond in a day, no problem. But this year, there have been times when comments and replies sit in my inbox for almost a month cause I just don't have the energy to formulate a response XD
Dude, I still have to draw some of your OCs. Especially Selvain, cause I love him <3
I have plenty of humans hidden away in sta.sh... cause I'm bad at refs XD

I know! At least I know I've made progress from when I first started drawing humans. I just need to kick myself to get the ball rolling again \(*^*)/

Look at me, just two days, huahaha!

And man, I totally feel you, glad I'm not alone with that. I'm also too weak to properly clean my inbox because I think, I want to comment something nice but can't get myself to it, so then I just spend 4h on two days going through a thousand deviations. That's such stupid time management honestly xD

Ah man, the boy needs a ref, I never got around deciding on a definite design for him and his story is out in the blue (haha gettit cuz he's blue hahaha) as well. But man I'd be honoured <3

I've got so many human characters, that I use in RPs and they all have word documents with infos but barely anyone has pics (some have RL pics tho). It's sad being a character of mine, neglected and faceless...

Yesss, same! Especially with the face I can see some progress for us both :3

We can do it!!

Eight days later... 
I just catch myself staring at the replies and not knowing how words work anymore XD
I go through the deviations just fine but the social part is harder LOL
So I'm just as bad at the time management thing, but in different ways

It's okay, Blade's ref needs an update, and has for almost a year now, but I'm still too lazy to actually make a new ref. And I do appreciate that pun huehue
LOL I know that pain all too well. I have several mage characters that need a face but they've just remained concept for like 6 months. I'm a terrible OC parent

AY WE GOT THIS UNIC. RAH

Many days later... fak :'D

I had so many oppurtunities to answer but each time I think "Hmm later"... just wtf is thiiiiis, why is my brain doing that. I don't know...

I got the same problem with the deviations, it's even more annoying since there are so much more than comments... :'D

Yes, same.. i guess I have a few that are years old and never got a face. Poor faceless souls - I think I should name my name list of OCs that, haha.

I got a few portraits started, juuust gotta finish them, but my sudden rush of drawing motivation kind of died down with the rendering of that one piece and now social life acts up and wants time for itself, horrible!

YAS... SOMEHOW!

Literally the next year
I don't know why I'm like this LOL
Maybe when I start drawing more again it'll die down, since I'm obviously more active here when I'm actually posting shit

I need to do an OC purge of the characters I used one time but never developed, and focus on the ones I'm actually interested in 
I've got multiple things lined and base colored, but then I just stop there cause I'm garbage XD
I'm even motivated to draw! I'm just also motivated to play video games

Ah well... :'D

It's really ridiculous how I see the message in my inbox but just don't answer. It's duuuuumb.

I'm barely active on Da anymore... and I don't think my activity will come back. I've nearly entirely switched over to Insta. Even when i find artists on here I look if they have an Insta first (really thinking about making a twitter just to follow some who don't have Insta lol)

Same, man. I just got into RPing again and started making new characters and now I have so many again. I need to recycle some old ones better that I still hold dear and purge some of those new ones or merge them with old ones, idk. I really admire people who just have like 3 main characters and develop them to an extent that they could be an actual person. I wish I could do that but I really just like having a lot of variety... :')

Lol, my motivation is a rollercoaster... or more like one of these Fall Towers? Most of the time it's on the ground but it shoots up once in a while and then I have to hurry to do things before it falls again. Lol I think I just found the perfect metaphor :'D

I am terrible X'D
I'm the same way. I used to be so good hhh

My thing with Twitter and Instagram is I curate those accounts so much. My heart isn't in it, it's just a quick way to share art. For some reason, I've always felt more comfortable sharing my emotions here than on either of those places. I think it's because, despite dA having so many members, Twitter and IG have even more, and I've always been super guarded. So dA is the only place where my real emotions are shared, though even then I kinda keep it to myself XD
But they're both pretty good places to gain a following and they're great time killers

I may or may not be planning something involving a few select OCs
But in doing so, I've realized which OCs mean the most to me, and a lot of the ones who didn't make the cut are either going into a second story or getting purged. It feels nice to go from "Too many OCs to even name" to "10 or so really well-developed OCs that get a lot more love"
I still want a lot of variety, but I feel like when I reach a certain point, I stop knowing what to do with all of them and lose motivation for all of my characters completely

My motivation is like the seasons. Dark, cold, and dead in the winter, fading in the fall, but alive and pretty active in the spring and summer ;v;
I just dislike the dark months, I've noticed LOL

I'm terribler tho :'D

Hmm, that's understandable. I've never shared too much emotion on here, so I'm not sitting in that boat. Also I've gotten into a few Discord communities and a lot of the artists on there are active mainly on insta. I also feel like socializing is easier. Tbh I like the fact i can just really easily share art to Insta. The uploading on DA always was a pain for me, especially putting things in the groups and all that. It's so much more handier to just put some hashtags, idk? I'm sad about not having a favorites-folder to walk through on there tho. It's so interesting to see on Da how my tastes have changed by looking through the favs. On the other hand I like not having a full inbox xD I can just not scroll for a day and not have to see how there are hundreds of new images. Instead I'll just scroll tomorrow a bit more or something. Also I'm kinda feeling closer to people by watching their stories. It's odd :'D

Yesss, very much the same actually. I love variety so much but also it sucks when they don't get any attention at all. I don't think any of my followers really know much about my characters, even tho they are very dear to me but I just never get around to draw them. Especially with RP characters, that I mostly write. It's a shame. The RPing really gets in the way with the drawing there. And it also makes me invent more and more OCs because I don't like to have a character in multiple RPs at once. A friend of mine has her one and only character she puts everywhere and even parallel. It's amazing.

Aw, soon it should be spring again, hang on! Here it's already getting warmer again. Our climate is total bullshit by now. Soon we won't have clear seasons anymore, I tell you.

Let's just be trash together LOL

I've deleted the app for a bit because there's been so much drama in my feed (on pet accounts, of all places) that I just get stressed out whenever I log on. It sucks cause I do like posting there, but then again, I feel like breaks now and then are much needed. I've found myself scrolling to the page on my phone that used to have the app on it out of habit whenever I get bored. So I'm making myself step back and focus on other places for now! I wanted to wait till the weather warmed up, cause that's when my motivation is best, but mother nature is a stubborn bitch, RIP.

I love perusing my faves for that reason XD
It's so cool to see how people's styles have changed too! But omg yes my inbox has been hell recently, what with my being so busy recently (unfortunately, thanks Uni)

I know that feeling with the stories XD I feel like I know them better. Even if they can still curate that bit too. I'm gonna miss so many images on my break, but I feel like my mental health is worth missing all of those posts.

I wish I was more motivated to RP. It was always so fun. But I think I'm just better at solo writing, which is both great and sucky. Cause I have control of the story, but then I have to make the entire story XD

We're having days of freezing here, and I hate it. Even if it's relatively normal for us. The winter is so stubborn this year. I really hope I'm dead by the time the Earth purges humans with unlivable climates LOL.

Uuuuugh three months, what am I... do you even remember this talk? :'D

What the heck, why is there stress on pet accounts?

Idk, I love watching the drama, even tho in a long term it can get annoying but I still scroll into comments way too often for my well being and my time planning. Just yesterday I got into a stupid discussion that will probably go nowhere :'D

I should really take a break from all social media, tbh. It's really not good. On the other hand I think of making a twitter account to follow artists i can't follow anywhere else, the struggle :')

No but really, I don't even know how to spend time anymore. I'm barely drawing, not writing stories, it's bad. I wanted to do a challenge for June called Journeyjune which is essentially the heros journey concept and make up a story together with a small community but I just can't seem to sit down and do it. I'm distracting myself way too much ):

Yes, same! With seeing the style change and also inbox being too full. I don't even know why I can't just go through it all, it's some screwed up logic I developed somewhen and now it is fucking my every day life :') I'm basically procrastinating everything.

Over the last months I completely lost my motivation to RP, lol :') Uni kicked my ass or rather my procrastination murdered my nice time plan. Otherwise it wouldn't have been as stressful.

Do you know that when you just sit there, do stupid stuff or none at all and think "yeah shit, I shouldn't do that" but you can't stop? It's fucking me up :')

I wish i was better at solo... with the story I tried doing for JourneyJune I noticed how much I miss the direct input of others into the world and story. That's what I get from only RPing for 8 year, ugh :/ I can't work on my own anymore but I also can't RP anymore, someone help xD

Well shit just got hot from one day to the other. I really put on my winter jacket and next day moved to short pants and t-shirt. Seriously, how can there be some people not believing in climate change. Even in the time I lived I noticed a lot of changes, are they blind?

I actually do remember this conversation LOL

Dude, I have no idea how this drama escalated to the point of them blockng each other, but I was like "Y'all, we're here for pets, not... this" lol. I'm so silent on social media! Even though at the beginning of pride month, a ton of people were trying to argue that asexuals don't belong in the LGBTQ+ community, which directly affects me, but my mindset was just "They're not worth the effort if they think like that. I already have people in that community that support me" and I just let others have it out over the issue XD

I really do suggest deleting the social media apps from your phone every month or so! It's so refreshing to take a step back, and I've found my mind gets more creative when I don't have so many distractions at the ready. I've actually never downloaded the twitter app, and still use the mobile site, cause it keeps me from being on there for long periods of time. Twitter is very done with me though. It keeps sending me emails telling me to get the app LMAO. But I hope you get your motivation back soon ;A; I've just recently started learning how to have a good balance of fun and work. I definitely think money is a factor. I've been getting so few hours at work that I've been leaning on art to help make up the difference in what my paycheck would usually be vs what it is now.

I've been a little better about messages recently, though I have no idea how I'll be next semester. I'll be going to a new Uni and working to get into the Graphic Design school. I'm terrified and I think everyone else has more faith in me than I do in myself that I'll get in after the portfolio review. I think I'm just nervous about entering a new stage of life, honestly.

I had one of those "I shouldn't be doing this" moments just two days ago, actually. As I was playing Skyrim. And I continued to play Skyrim and then proceeded to regret everything I didn't do that day. So I made a whole YCH and sketched things yesterday to try and make up for it!

Unic, I know that feeling so well XD no world building allowed RIP

RIGHT. We're having so many storms here that the rivers have overflowed like 3 times. In the next city over, the winds from one storm were so strong that they blew a massive construction crane over. Change is happening, whether people want to believe it or not
