Aaa gosh.

Been dealing with some stuff the past few months. I've had a hard time being social or very productive art-wise or.... any-wise tbh. Sometimes I'll be having a conversation and just have to drop it even if I have more to say and/or was enjoying myself? Like I just can't handle talking to people and it makes me feel like a jerk. orz I've been working on my healthcare and taking care of myself! But getting used to things or finding the right ones can be tricky! I'm kinda nervous today because I have an important meeting about it haha.

Art's been pretty frustrating. There's a bunch I owe whether it's like an agreed-on thing (comms/trades) or like... in my head ("wow I wanna draw stuff for xyz") but I've had such a hard time getting myself to do anything besides the occasional fluke (u r lookin @ 1) There a lot of stuff I wanna be workin' on (colors! atmosphere! comics! refs!) but the forward motion has been so non-existent, it's discouraging. I've been missing some really neat stuff because I haven't felt up to participating. I wanna change that soon!

But in the interim there have been SO MANY. NICE. PATIENT PEOPLE W/ME OMG. I can't???? Deal. With you guys. I've gotten some nice words or generous gestures in one form or another and it's like I don't feel I can really communicate how amazing and sweet???? These things are tbh my response is usually pretty low-key so I'm not just like SCREAMING AT PEOPLE FOR PAGES (or minutes depending on format) because that's how articulate I am lately. Sometimes, people are just really amazing.

So yeah that is what's been up with me and why I haven't been around so much! I hope it's not too weird to talk about but on the other hand I feel weird just... ghosting around not interacting much without explanation. I'm still here but just workin' stuff out, so not very post-y or participate-y.

I hope your summer's been rockin', CS!

[yikes]

wow this is gorgeous!
and that is a lot of stuff, sending good vibes your way!

I'm sorry to hear you've been having a rather hard time with getting motivated, etc. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way at some point - I know I do! On the bright side, looks like you've got stuff partially, if not fully, sorted out now, with the bonus of everyone being nice to you during those frustrating times, which is great to know!

This a beautiful drawing. Really like the colors you used, the details for the trees, as well as what you did with the sky!

Aaaa I wanna thank everyone for the kind words both in relation to the drawing and the post!

I still feel weird writing it down publicly like... should I even do that. But on the other hand I feel bad for being mysterious too? Brains... Brains are weird.

Aah <3
I love this piece of artwork. Absolutely beautiful!!
Not only that, but I absolutely love the shades and colors you chose for this!!

I can easily say, art is VERY frustrating. I've been there. And, for me, if it's not perfect, I just wanna curl up in a ball; And at times I've been where I just wanna quit altogether. I mean, I can't EVEN draw digitally.

And then I see this. Argh, I wish I was as good as you!! ,O,

Anyways! I can see you have talent! Always remember that!

This is adorable art. I'm sorry you're having a hard time, I hope it gets better for you, and I know a lot people say it will but you think it never will. Me too, feel the same way atm, things have happened and I just wanna dissapear. So I wanna say feel with you bro.

This art is so amazing that I just want to go in a corner and cry. Shame on you for being this awesome. ;u;
