@tess (if you have the time to answer ^u^)
How does you art look now? It's been a while since you drew something, or did your pet lines (which are amazing!)
Just really curious :0

Unfortunately I don't have time to draw much these days unless I'm making something for CS, so I guess all my most recent art is CS items and pets.
My style hasn't changed or improved very much since the early days of CS, but I've slightly improved my coloring/lineart skills and I'm better at using various tools in photoshop so things just look a little neater. It can take me a long time to just draw a basic picture these days because my anatomy skills are so rusty. It's a bit like learning to ride a bike, you'll never forget how to ride, but if you haven't ridden one for 10 years you're gonna be a bit wobbly jumping back on

On the rare occasions that I do get to draw something, it feels like my skills have improved slightly despite the lack of practice, so I think I pick up some useful techniques, anatomy knowledge and style ideas just from absorbing all the other art being shared on CS. I reckon all artists could benefit from browsing the Oekaki and creativity boards sometimes, especially if art blocking! You're probably absorbing some skills without even realising it.

I don't have my hat item, but then I did get all the physical hats from those lovely few users at anthrocon. So in a way.. I got hats And they got my hat in return. Fair is fair, right ?

Well, there have been other non-halloween ones and there's nothing really stopping me.. but it's kinda like bunnies being majoritively easter pets. They just.. fit? I suppose. I wasn't aware people wanted more bats in general anyway :X

thank you for answering, Tess! I really do appreciate it c:
Your situation reminds me of my oldest sister, she used to draw all the time, but now that she is an adult and has a baby she hasn't drawn. She is the reason I draw! When I was very little, I thought her art was the most amazing thing ever, and the sad thing is that she says that I have surpassed her now.
Anyways, I hope to see you drawing more in the future, I've always admired your items and your pet lines!
