my first art challenge in a long time… (cough FIVE YEARS cough)

this was honestly really fun and refreshing to do after finishing comms… i feel like alot of the time when i open csp to draw i feel like its gonna be something that will feel like work or something i owe to somebody and not like. something i wanna draw for me. and not for like social media or anything

i was honestly super disconnected from art for about a month or so and barely drew anything at all until i realized it when i would show my art to new people i was meeting. like being an artist was still at my core but i wasn’t actively doing said art at the time. or like i’d subconsciously given up on it altogether. idk the crazy things our brains do when depression / mental illness worsens

it also kinda felt like a burden to draw. like if i wasn’t gonna produce anything really worth looking at or none of my work would really reach anybody then what was the point in drawing in the first place? art really really started feeling like work and not a hobby anymore, even like making gifts for people felt like work and i was constantly worried my work wasn’t enough or wasn’t the absolute most and best i could do with myself and i struggled with the heightened standards i had put on myself and felt guilty when i couldn’t finish gifts on time or at all.

with all this being said, i hate that it took me so long to realize that art had become work for me and all the fun had been practically squeezed out of it when i started doing it for other’s enjoyment and not my own. but i’m glad i’ve realized it now and started taking a step back from prioritizing if my art is good enough for other people and rather if its good enough for me. and i’m happy that i’m setting my enjoyment in my work first before anything, because thats what art has always been for me growing up.

GUH RED RED RED I LOVE HER SO MUCH, UH MEET RED THE MEORLARK, SHE'S EVERYTHING TO ME

Eyeless, born without eyes, Red's strongest trait is her sense of smell and feeling, she discerns her surroundings via scent and head/muzzle bonking [Specifically her Taurolystris partner, Blue]

Meorlark's normally don't get attached to their young, they name them standard simple things, Red was named after her coat color. Red however broke this cycle of disregarding litters and gave her all to protecting and loving her own offspring as a result.

Red lost the majority of her first litter to a violent Venuella, she ended up snatching up the only surviving kit and fleeing with Blue to safety, the entire ordeal made her extremely protective of not only her surviving kit, but her future offspring.

Children: 2 unnamed kits [Died being crushed by a rampaging Venuella] Akeko [First Son - Alive - Lived to adulthood], Alabaster [Albino - Deceased - Died of disease from rotten food], Allum and Beru [Third Daughter and Son - Deceased - Stillborn], Karumi [Fourth Daughter - Stillborn], Azure [Fifth Son - Alive - Named After Blue - Survived To Adulthood], Carmine [Sixth Daughter - Deceased - Survived to adulthood], Yulum [Seventh Son - Deceased- Stillborn], Purple [Eighth Child - Nonbinary - Deceased - Murdered but also was questionably evil], Jabble [Ninth Son - Alive - Named after a friendly Jabblebashhe and survived to adulthood], Salmon [Tenth Son - Alive - Survied to Adulthood], Talu [Eleventh Daughter - Deceased - Birth Complications], Arulo [Twelvth Son - Alive - Survived To Adulthood], Kruma [Thirteenth Daughter - Alive - Final Child]

Wok [Adopted - Alive - Was a grown man when he was adopted but loved anyway], Caper [Grandchild - Carmine's daughter - Survived To Adulthood]

Fun facts: Red is dead set on the belief that Alabaster is still alive and often copes with her grief by saying so, she's adamant that her daughter is perfectly fine despite her obvious death.

Akeko contracted the same illness that killed his younger sister, but ended up surviving after a serious death scare, he was briefly paralyzed but recovered well.

Akeko was one of her most productive children.

Her daughter, Carmine, went off on her own at a young age despite Blue's attempts at keeping her close to the family, while she reached adulthood, she still ended up dying due to her own recklessness, a trait of which she picked up from her mother. She left behind a daughter who weaved back into the family via Blue bringing her home.

Purple was an odd child, the first thing they did when they were born was bite, and it didn't stop as they aged. I wasn't long before this aggressive habit got them killed, nobody in the family mentions Purple. They try to forget. Red and Blue are both happily living in their old age, while still adventuring, they've had enough of raising children for one lifetime and want some time to themselves, a trip around the islands could do them good.

Red had a habit of throwing herself into fights she shouldn't, due to her blindness, she's extremely defensive, and she's not above attacking anything that she thinks slights her or someone she cares about. This has led to multiple near-death experiences, the large scar on her chest is proof of that.

She absolutely despises her extended kin, her littermates aren't exactly the best individuals and after one visit, she'd decided she never wanted to see them again, which was probably for the best.
