I gotta be real for a moment:
I feel so incredibly overwhelmed over the likes I've received on my IZ art. One of my first sketches on this blog is over 800 notes and that's crazy to me! Back when I first got onto IZ I thought I was doing alright but I ended up hating my style. Zim didn't look right and I couldn't replicate the style. Dib was ugly and I could never figure out his hair. Even more sad, I felt like I couldn't keep up with my two closest friends as they put out amazing IZ art. I ended up abandoning the series altogether to find something I could be good at and not feel like I have to compete.
2019 has been by far the loneliest year yet. It's just been work and stressing about moving. But somehow, it's become the most productive year for me in art. When KH3 came out, I dragged myself to my tablet and began drawing again. Since ETF released, I've been even busier between drawing for two things I love.
I'm finally happy with trying to emulate an IZ style while keeping my own. It's finally more fun and easier to just draw things. I'm still lonely but at least I can forget about it since I finally have something to preoccupy my time.
Tldr thank you so much for liking my stuff and making me feel validated. I never expected the stuff I post to get a whole lot of notes but they've blown me away. Thank you :')
