Okay this is nothing new but I just wanted to share my note as well as my story about why I use and don’t use too much of procreate or any digital art app for like 5 years.

I’ve been a little goner for while and sometimes I visited some apps if I need to check but ever since my college semester is done I’ll be returning to the app to continue and do some art post if it I’ll try to get better of some digital art skills and put into more efforts and I’m sorry if I sound like this or it might confused you because I’m so really horrible at talking properly I’m very autistic that you won’t understand what I said, but anyways let’s get into my story.

I’ve been deleting my artworks procreate when I begin back in early 2021 during the pandemic and I started practicing as a beginner when I look onto YouTube and follow the tutorials for beginners where it came out perfectly and I’m really grateful for the result, I even did my artworks for the assignment in 10th grade advance class during quarantine where I did an Inside Out art for like an emotion art assignment at this point my grades earn high for this because how much I put more effort and details into it, when he return in person my art teacher print my art into a large format and hang it up for display (I’ll be showing you my old piece because I’m remastering into my newer one and I haven’t finished since 2023). But as 2021 past and my laziness kicked in (before AI became famous nowadays) i feel like I begin to lose interest of doing fun activities like creating new digital pieces and pretty much starting over my procreate app over and over again because of schoolworks and mental health issues that resolves about social media (like YouTube and Instagram) 2022 felt like the Worst Year for me because of the struggles of fitting into my family or my friends since I’m very autistic and that can happen to many people like me that are different. And then the year after Thats where the age of slop AI kicked in the world and everyone was using it everywhere on media and being blinded at first I tested to see if the generative would work and yeah it so fucking stupid and weird AF So then i step aside of that later and decide that human artistry is more important to do your own and that you stay to who you truly are. I start to get semi better when I finished my high school year and I planning for my college year to learn and practice arts and designs, and that’s where I’ve been struggling again with social media because it’s beginning to get negative on some of its contents and society on YouTube, Insta, and TikTok where I just have to step away from these apps while my accounts is active so I won’t delete my data’s when I’m done for. I talk with my parents about how ruthless and dangerous social media can be since it can burst your bubble and take away your passions that sticks with you and make you feel speechless without anything to say, but even if your bold or cool enough that somebody said some thoughts your totally calm and respect that because it doesn’t mess with you. Anyways so going back in next semester of college i been thinking it’s going to be quick to finish my year but then I fucked up when I missed on some main courses I have to finished with the goal achievement in order to finished to get the certification in which I was focus outside of goal classes, so I begin starting over and it did went really well thanks to my grades as I’m almost one class to be done (Woohoo) and I draw more pieces and sketches and planning to turn into digital art soon even though there’s many I have to practice and yeah it doesn’t have to be big, detail, effort or perfection because arts is art and it doesn’t need to be compared to other artist that people are so good at it can be your own in your art style because your YOU!

So yeah it can be a very struggling for many people when you want to start over and start something new as you begin to move on if your like me but I just wanted to share it so that you get know me better and know who I was or who I am

So take care of yourself, your friends, family, or any loved ones you know and don’t let anyone take away your passions or dreams if they step their way, make your day better whenever your ready 😊❤️

I stopped using Twitter over a year ago because of Musk's villainy, but I really do miss all the Japanese artists I used to follow on there.

We really need to come together to get Laika the oscar it deserves. We need to start talking about "Wildwood" like we raved about "Kpop Demon Hunters". We need to show that we want new, original, and amazing stories on the big screen.

Tell the world that we, kids and adults and everyone in-between deserve enriching, thought provoking art. We are back to animation experimental era, it flopped back then but we're here now, let's show studios that we will not take just mediocre sequels after sequel, surface level storytelling and talking down to their audience. Disney, Dreamsworks, ilumination, all of them need to know that.

Laika has been nominated for an Oscar since Coraline, it hasn't won. And with Disney not winning for the past 4 years because of fatigue and unoriginality, just like Ghibli won their first oscar with "The boy and the heron" despite having an all beloved filmography, we need Laika to win with "Wildwood".

The future of animation is in our hands to show what we want. Let's not disappoint them and ourselves. In a world where they're trying to replace human art, let's hit them where it hurts and show love to those who still believe.

My favorite and best WildWood meme that I made on discord a while ago but i fixed the better quality and a second variation

RIP prue you would’ve hate AI😭

[seashellisinmyheart]

So psyched for this!

[skrimshaw-smiles]

i read these books as a kid!! very excited to see what they do with the source material. the trailer makes it look very... grim dark? and the illustrations included in the novel have a very different vibe

i actually hope the whole movie doesn't look like the trailer, because its not a halloween thing, its an autumn thing to me

its: 🧡🍁🍂☕️

not: 🦇👻🖤🌑

or perhaps a mix of both ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
