@lemoro I dunno if you’ll see this but I read that post and it’s very close to home about what I went through when I drew Marvel fanart a lot. LIKE TO A T THAT POST HIT HOME.
It gets tiring. You feel stagnant. It starts making the thing you love, not fun anymore and exhausting. Sometimes I feel it with the DBZ fandom too. I want to draw things but I just sigh because god why are you trying so hard for a smidgen of notes and such, you know? When things you love become work... man oh man... no ;;...
I’d honestly LOVE to see some OCs from you. I thrive on seeing people’s OCs and worlds they build around them. If that’s what you want to do and will help you get out of a funk? Please by all means. I’d LOVE to see OCs in your style, things and characters that you have a whole world around and whole personalities that are new and fresh to us all tbh are EXCITING.
There are people out there who will care and will be into it. As someone who is working on her own projects finally and doing fanart when I WANT to - it’s met with curious eyes, and people asking odd questions and being involved in my ocs and it’s.... rewarding tbh. MY best friend and I talk about our OCs religiously and it’s really... I owe her a lot with making me care about my projects again. I owe a lot to that.
People come for one thing or another, and often stay for others. I get so many questions about characters I never thought would get a glance over honestly and it’s rewarding.
Do art that challenges you and makes you happy. You deserve pride in your work, you know? ;u; No one is going to hate you if you do work YOU want to do. If they get pissy about it? So what, you’re the one making work you put your heart into.
