I want to post my ocs but I am a little scared. How do I get over the fear of just posting them???
This isn’t a question but I really do love your art. I want to eat it. Nom nom
Aw thank you! I'm only like 70% of the way there myself lol, and I'm sure it's different for everyone, but for me, I think Step 1 was actually just realizing that I don't have to post my OCs.
They don't exist to be content — I made them for me, and it's my choice to share or not.
With the pressure lifted, I can evaluate whether I want to post them... and I've found that the answer is yes! ( 'v')
More specifically: "Yes, but only after you process a bit more, so make an animation about it and then we'll talk 🔫"
This changed posting from an obligation to a personal desire, which has made it easier motivating myself to step outside my comfort zone.
Still scary! Probably always will be! But doing it for the right reasons will make it so much more fun ᕦ(òvóˇ)ᕤ Have so much fun that it balances out the fear!
Other things that might help:
This is Tumblr, no one will see it :D And if they do, yay! And if they don't, thank god! And if they're mean? Lol they're a tumblr user haha cringe (jk but fr disregard non-constructive criticism, esp from strangers online)
Start small, like showing a friend irl, or posting just a doodle with no explanation. Or stay small, even. There's no need to get all the lore established unless/until you feel like it, so don't overwhelm yourself with perfectionism - focus on the fun!
