my art hole

[wound-bird]

Idk why but drawing sweet cream makes me so calm and happy. It’s amazing how art can actually change my mood. I’m really grateful for the ability to draw

Also I’m listening to the song Move Along by the all american rejects on repeat. Lol

Trying to figure out some stuff

The story is that he’s from a formerly rich family that lost their money (as per the original beauty & the beast tale) so I’m attempting to give him a costume that looks like he saved his best quality clothes but also is not too fancy with it bc they live in a small cottage/ farm now .. I’m thinking if he’s going traveling, he wouldn’t be in a working class outfit because his father insisted on keeping his respectability or something. It’s either that or I make him wear a very farmer-ish outfit because he’s extremely humble and accepts his family’s new status. Idk I can’t rly decide

Might go crazy and set it in the early 17th century …? What am I doing

I just feel like medieval is soooo overdone these days…

Idk… I’m trying to figure it out. Would you be more drawn to a story with 17th century vibes????? Medieval era is so played out especially recently it’s like… a trend. And it’s getting on my nerves. So I wanna do something different

I really enjoy that I can imagine something and immediately be able to draw it (character wise) ….. now I need to get better at drawing environments and settings -_-;;;

Possible re-design

Trying to make her look more grotesque and scary yet also pitiful

I want her to be kinda reminiscent of a muppet goblin from Labyrinth

So I’m trying to create this beauty and the beast story .. but what keeps stopping me from working on it is the design I’ve come up with for the “beast” character.. I made her look exactly like me. And that makes me so uncomfortable for some reason. I’m conflicted … there are two sides of me fighting each other right now

Side 1 says

Make her look like me, with dark curly hair, because I don’t know any female characters in media that look like me and I want to create this story because it’s allegorical to my life

Side 2 says

It’s making me feel weird, inserting myself as a character into a fairytale that has a happy ending just feels wrong. I would rather do what I usually do and use Zoe from AHS as a model for the character’s appearance.. also if I do end up finishing this project and I use my own features in the character’s design, it would be so obvious to everyone that sees it that it’s a self indulgent self insert, and that would be embarrassing as hell

To me, both of these arguments are equally sound… idk what to do uuuuggghhh

Idk why I feel the need to expose my most painful memories/ thoughts/ emotions to the internet

It’s like I think if I broadcast it to enough people then it won’t be as overwhelming and shame inducing

But I need to remember some things should be kept private
