People liking your personal OCs is still such a crazy feeling, I've been doing this for years and ppl asking about them still fills my entire heart with warmth and idk how to handle it

You enjoy this fictional guy I made up for fun?? Whose only content is random artwork or writing made by me and a handful of other artists at most? They have no show/book/game with a large fandom, it's just one person with an art blog?? I love u

Pros of improving at art: noticing your skills advancing feels great : )

Cons of improving at art: the standards set for yourself keep rising because you feel you can do better than what's currently on your canvas and it needs to look captivating enough when finished, but painting then takes way longer so most things stay as a WIP forever and you wish you could finish more things or even feel comfortable posting sketches

Still bothers me that all fem blood/void/high elves have to be so babyfaced

Alleria is very old and has the voice of a mature woman but she's stuck looking like she's 19, Xal'atath still looks youthful and healthy despite void-possessing the corpse of an elf, which should mess the body up a lot if you ask me but she has to be soft and pretty for marketability and all that

Sylvanas's Maw-model was an improvement and something different, it was nice to see

Hello I'm not dead, Nordic winters are just brutal and I prioritize chores and exercise among the limited amount of daily tasks I have the energy for hhhhhhhhhhhh

I dislike Zovaal/the Jailer's writing as much as anyone else but changing his design to something I prefer makes me dislike him slightly less

Just slightly

Seeing an optician next week for the eye issue that I'm still dealing with after 2 months

Hopefully it's on its way to recovering after diligent lengthy treatment, I miss painting and want to go back to working on commissions 💔

Questing in Hallowfall as a shadow priest/warlock/death knight/Forsaken/Void elf where everyone talks about the Light every 0.5 seconds and look at you like you've insulted their entire ancestral lineage by just standing there

Guess I should update here too

I currently have an eye inflammation that makes my vision slightly blurry on one side, meaning I can't really focus on painting that long before I get dizzy

I'll be treating it for 3 more weeks before another checkup, but I'm hoping it'll heal enough for me to paint earlier because I've got owed art to complete and I MISS DRAWING AAAAAAGGHHH

That's all ty for reading
