Sometimes you just gotta listen to songs and vividly imagine animatics you don't have the time or talent to make.

trying to be perfect is actually one of the most existentially destructive things you can do to yourself

first of all it's literally not possible and u will spend ur life reaching for an unattainable goal like a cat chasing a laser pointer. second of all being an unremarkable average joe is fucking awesome

Writing may be hard, but the JOY of getting to expand the characters and worlds that you come up with can never be replaced. Keep going, even when it gets hard.

30 days of your OC Challenge!

I wanted to make a set of OC prompts that's a bit unique, so I came up with 30 loose ideas and compositions to draw/get drawn of your OC! :D

It doesn't have to take 30 days, in fact you could easily use this as an ask game prompt if you want, or even ideas to take to your favorite local commissions artist to do for you :> Just 30 little ideas to appreciate an OC of yours!

~If you like my art, please consider supporting me on Kofi~

and please try not to repost, I have it up on Blusky too

if you stay up late enough the little gay people in your phone who live far away will come back. but Beware

[golyadkin]

you'll get the urge as an artist or a writer to say out loud the things you're worried about "the proportions are off" "kind of out of character" "i'm not good at summaries" "didn't get as much detail as i wanted" "i made a mistake and here's how" and that's the self-conscious part of your brain telling you "it's bad and if you don't tell them you know it's bad then they'll think you're stupid" but you've got to ignore that little voice and pretend you think it's good or else that little voice is going to ruin your life

[incognito-insomniac]

Some of the best advice I have ever gotten was from a creative writing professor. She said never apologize for your work. Never critic it before someone else does.

Her reasoning was you are the creator. You made your work from nothing and can see all the flaws and seems and holes. But your audience may not see any of it. Maybe they will; maybe they won't. But if you TELL them about the holes and the mistakes and the problems....they will 100% see them. So don't tell them. Don't sabotage yourself just because you think you're not good enough.
