In the awl gay mod ur making, is it awl, awl:se or anwl that you are modding? Each game is different as far as events and in game objects. Can I still marry lumina?

I’m modding both of the AWL and AnWL Gamecube games.

Essentially, my plan is to swap the character models/textures between the two games.

This would put the boy model into AnWL, where you could romance bachelors. And the girl model into AWL, where you could romance the bachelorettes.

I would then change the game dialogue to reflect the player’s gender.

Neither of these has Lumina as an option, considering she’s a child in these versions.

I'm sure this is normal for Artists With Low Self Esteem (that should be a club if it's not) but I find myself constantly having to reaffirm--to myself!--that I am not, in fact, the Absolute Worst Painter of All Time.

No, seriously. And it's not even like I'm saying, "Don't worry, Shannon, your art is good enough." It's more like, "Okay, you're pretty bad. But there are worse." At least once a week (usually when I'm browsing other artists' work online) I stop and click over to my own art blog and then, for anywhere between fifteen seconds and a minute, I give up. Just say, "Oh, okay, well I'm done then. There is no way I will ever be able to match up to this."

And then I remember. Van Gogh wasn't trying to compete with da Vinci wasn't trying to compete with anybody else. And with a whole internet out there, it's really easy to forget that the only person I should be competing with is myself. As long as I'm consistently creating something better than the last thing I made, I'm on the right track. And if it's not as good as that awesome artist insert-username-here just posted, oh fucking well. The goal isn't to be the best--nobody can ever be "the best," not really. The goal is improvement. Constant, steady improvement.

I just need to remind myself more often, I guess.
