For my 100th post! I did say I was going to attempt drawing my dog as an Animal Crossing villager...

tumblr_ncdpudUUZC1r2hi3po1_r1_500.png


Name: Dante
Sex: Male
Type: Wolf (American Eskimo Dog)
Personality: Jock (sporty, spunky, energetic, playful, and friendly! But he's a bit hot-headed and very over-protective of his friends. He's also prone to fainting/flopping down anywhere for an impromptu nap from overtaxing himself without proper rest.)
Shirt: Deep-blue Tee
Birthday: January 14th (Capricorn)
Music: K.K. House
Likes: Jogging, playing tennis, running errands, bug catching, singing loudly and badly, being complimented, cuddling, sunny and snowy weather.
Dislikes: Mushrooms, getting wet (on rainy days, he is often indoors most of the day), megaphones (he can hear you just fine without that, darnit!), getting ignored by villagers/mayor.
Accessory (sometimes worn): Bandage
Home furniture: Blue striped mixed with a few regal pieces.
Catchphrase: "Throw it!"

I might enter him in the 'create a villager' contest, but I dunno yet. Either way, I had loads of fun with him and he's inspired from my musings in my thread about our own pets as AC villagers.
 
Aw, I bet your pooch is really cute! considering he came out as a really adorable design for a villager.
I miss my dogs now sob

I guess that in the end, belonging is a state of mind. And if I don't feel that I belong yet, I suppose I'll just have to keep on trying. lol Can't expect people to do it for me, after all.

I did play on Private servers, yeah. Since I quit a few weeks ago, I haven't played. I'm sure I'll end up going back to it when I have time someday. I haven't heart of Fiesta Online, though. I generally fit well with the healing classes, but I enjoy hunters, knights, wizards... pretty much anything aside from a few classes I never cared for much (like thieves and assassins).
I've tried, I don't think many people want me around here but eh, can't say I didn't try Dx

I used to be addicted to the Fiesta ones, hype ran out though so eh!
Fiesta online is a 3D MMORPG, It's pretty much P2W though :I

Yeah, I prefer being an assist, I just find it really fun while others don't D':
 
so i dont see any of my posts in this thread previously
so
your art is absolutely adorable, i love it! <3 i hope to see more! :]

I can say without any bias whatsoever... yes, he is super-adorable. Hahaha. Eskies are gorgeous dogs. Pure white, long coats, almost a lion-ish mane in front, adorable little faces, and big bushy tails that curl up. Thanks, though! I've been wanting to draw him as one, but I kept hesitating since I suck at drawing animals. It was fun, regardless. And it's sorta helping me get a little bit of a feel for AC villagers in my own style.

I don't think it's a matter of people not wanting you around. It just seems that, honestly, this place is a huge popularity contest where people will post new topics for every little thing and bump their topics like crazy just to be seen over others. And I guess that's to be expected, given how many kids are around here. I mean, people are clambering for others to draw their OCs/Mayor/etc, even when they already have a dozen+ people who did them for them already. I honestly don't understand why people create OCs a lot when they don't draw or just want other people to do it for them. But anyway, that's just my take on it. I don't care about any popularity thing here or I'd put up and art shop and draw these OCs/mayors that have been drawn endless times. I only made an exception for the nice people who gave me a lot of my dream villagers. But that's it. Otherwise, I really want no part of that. I'll update with my art here and those who want to see it can see it, and those who don't or ignore whoever won't draw things for them can just be on their way. Most of my friends are on tumblr, anyway. I don't really expect to make many here and I'm more worried that on a site like this, friendship would be artificial in the sense of 'friends' wanting to get something out of me. I've dealt with enough of that on other sites. I'll continue to share my works, though. If there's even just one or two people that enjoy them, that's enough for me.

Anyway, I've never really been one for the 3D MMORPGs. I tried a few of them, but I wasn't a fan. I prefer the 2D like RO. It's just more comfortable for me, I guess. That said, support was actually a pretty popular role in RO. I think the first level 99 way back during RO's first days was a priest character. I've generally felt comfortable with support, as I suppose that's just what I feel the most comfortable with. But like I said, I enjoy an array of classes and roles, so it's fun to experiment.

Thank you. : ) I'm glad that you like it! I will most certainly be posting more to share. Hope you enjoy it~

Considering you say you don't feel comfy drawing animals, you did a superb job and would love to see what else you can do with other animals to villagers in the future!

There's a buncha "popular" people on the forum and they get attention like something chronic, I just seemed to be backhanded from the community and seem I'm not even part of the forums existence, but ayy, as long as I have even one person to talk with, it's not so bothering!

I know what you mean with the threads :I there's just so many of them now and I'm sort of ashamed because I have my own request thread and all...But eh, I'm not crazy mad for OC's like 90% of the threads are, I'd just like to say I'm not here to mooch any possible commissions by constantly throwing compliments at your work but because I really enjoy the work you produce and the proper responses you give in return, it's really nice to know not everyone here is dull minded.

Yeah, 3D MMORPG's can be annoying, I only stuck to Fiesta since I had been playing awhile (forcefully) with my friend, Cleric being my starting class.

I have played stuff like Archers and Mages but I am more...useful as a healer of sorts.

Haha, well, I might have gotten a little more "lucky" in terms of drawing an animal that I literally see every day. The only thing I've gotten slightly better at drawing over the last few years is ducks, and even then, that's a very specific anime style that I was learning it from. My attempts at ACTUAL ANIMALS are atrocious. I'm definitely not the sort of person who can pull of realism/semi-realism very well.

Eh, I'm not here to point fingers at anyone or anything. Rather, I just see it as a reason that I'm not likely to fit in here. I support the other artists here with feedback, but most people aren't interested in talking unless you're selling/buying. I have no desire to be part of a popular crowd or do things for popular people for attention. And I kind of roll my eyes at how complaining on this site somehow gets people to rush to give you exactly what you want. It doesn't work that way on most other sites out there, so they're going to get a rough wake up call outside of this place. Guilt-trips are like the number one thing that I can't handle and won't stand for. If someone tries to make me feel guilty for not giving them what they want/expect, I'm done.

As far as the threads go, at least you keep yours contained to a thread and not a new thread for each "new OC" or "new character" or "new request". That is the most useless reason to make new topics. You just include it in your first one instead of bumping tons of separate topics. That makes people look like they're digging for more attention and I don't know how the other artists here feel, but for me, it's a huge no-no. But thanks for letting me know, I appreciate that. I noticed that ever since I started being more vocal, a number of people here don't associate with me anymore. But I'm the kind of woman that speaks her mind, so I don't regret it. I tried to do something site-wise about it, so it's not empty complaining. I just never heard back from any of my questions/concerns to the site/staff on the matter.

Truth be told, I've been thinking of making a topic here for art feedback in general. As in, people post with something they'd like to show off that ISN'T related to "draw my oc/mayor!" stuff and other people's characters that have been drawn tons of times, but just their general art, their OCs, and what they like to do. Kind of like an artist support group, you could say. But I also fear it being spammed with things like "hey I want lots of feedback on my 12 three-minute drawings!" and stuff like that. I'm still tossing the idea around.

Well, we all have our character/class niches. And it's always best to stick to what you're good at and comfortable with.
 
And, of course, some art to post tonight! I'll go ahead and post two for a change.

tumblr_myp78qvegn1r2hi3po2_500.png


This one is a grown-up Lucas from the game Mother 3. I titled it something like "Remember Yesterday". (Don't worry, I won't drop any spoilers here.) I just tend to like drawing some "what ifs" for younger characters growing up and conceptualizing what they might look like later in life. Lucas was really fun to do that with. I like thinking that despite his hardships in life, he grows up to be an optimistic person with a smile to offer anyone.

And then there's this one. It's Princess Tutu fanart, which I do a lot of, but kind of like a "short story" in art form. I like to do these types of short wordless comics sometimes, since what I focus on a lot in my art is emotion and expression. And practicing getting that across without the use of dialogue can be a challenge, but also a lot of fun. I added a caption to this on tumblr when I posted it that was something like this: "Hold your head up, princess. For in my heart, there is only you."

I've done a number of things like this, and most of them are just as romantic/sappy. : P Let's just say, if you haven't caught on to the fact that I love doing romance stuff, it'll sink in very soon. Hahaha.

I can understand that, drawing a realistic dog would be really really difficult (The furrrrrrr) compared to a more cartoon like style.

I guess none of us really need to attempt to properly fit in if we're happy with what we're posting for, You seem happy with what you're posting around here and that's a great thing to know, It's just a shame you can't feel really comfortable without someone saying "Are you selling ur art lol" but I guess that's bound to happen with such nice pieces you do come out with.
About people complaining, I agree, It seems people who have like "Draw my Mayor!!!" and probably such text as "I'll pay alot!!!" usually get answered first because it seems they're somewhat begging for art for their virtual characters of what they want but they don't "need" it.

Ugh, guilt-trips are the worst and I wouldn't blame you, I just hope nobody treats you like such because that honestly wouldn't be fair on you in general.

Heh, you're right there, I just update the first post of my thread if I have anything new to be like drawn, I'd add another two but I'd actually need them drawn first since they're kinda more custom but I'll be patient for that.
Honestly, I've been seeing more single threads happening more often, especially by this user and it's quite a handful, especially shocked how they haven't been dealt with or anything of the sorts of how many threads they constantly make regarding art, obviously this isn't just based on one user but quite a few "Draw my OC's!" and "Draw my friends OC's!" threads that have been happening waaaaay too much.
Honestly, I'm pretty sure some people here just love to request art of their busty anime chicks/OC's for forum attention too, I'd rather draw an obese person than to promote their popularity.
Also there's some specific members I've seen post in various art threads that HAVE people selling their art and they'll compliment it like heck, kind of ironic they don't post in yours because it's not up for sale to a couple of people who probably have over 30 drawings of their OC's and "NEED" more, just alot of silliness if you ask me.

Honestly, you're a rad person to talk to so there's no way that I'd be like another person around here and just use you for art (I mean, Ok, I'd really like to BUY a piece of art from you but there's no way I'd ever beg for a free piece)
And wow really? I actually thought your voice was pretty sweet sounding from your stream, who'd wanna ditch you out for just talking? That's pretty silly of them to be honest D:
I'm glad you do, you sound strong with what you do and say and that's really great to hear!

Honestly, people like us could be considered really obscure to the rest of the forum because we don't "post" like they do and that's personally why we'd get ignored very easily.
It's really not fair for us at all, we just want to share what we think about things to other users and blam, ignored because we aren't constantly making **** jokes or semi-flirting with eachother.
"LOL UR MY WAIFU" it's like...really? I only joke about that stuff but some people seem really serious about it lol.

I think I've seen a thread like that before awhile ago, can't remember though but I think it'd be really great to have one made by you because you really know how to give people tips on how to improve or just small minor things to change in pieces of art.
I too would fear the effortless MS Paint drawings of "SANIC HEGHOG" being spamming around and jokingly saying "lol I did art lolol" I'm no artist but damn, I'd never swoop that low y'know?
I still think it'd be a nice thing to do but ayy, completely your choice at the end of the day but I support the idea!

Too damn straight, the only thing I hate being a Cleric for is if you don't keep pocketing one player with heals and they goddamn rage so hard because you've let them get a bit injured because you're trying to keep your other party members alive too, It really annoys me!

And, of course, some art to post tonight! I'll go ahead and post two for a change.

Lucas looks great! Really nice to know you'd like to give the guy a really happy ending from what I've heard about Mother 3, I like the whole idea of the concept you're working with some characters having what if lives after their games.

While I haven't seen Princess Tutu, your art relating to the anime is really sweet and you always make the characters really sweet looking, it's really good and while I'm not super duper fond of much animes these days, I'd still like to see more drawings from you from whatever animes you do.

And aw, you sound like a really passionate woman with all this romance, your man must really love that about you (well...I ASSUME you have a boyfriend at the very least)
It's really cute nonetheless, you always make romantic art look nice.

wow this is like the longest post I've ever done on here, you're making me post really long posts! I'm not complaining or anything since I really don't mind it!

I knew that a bunch of those pics looked super familiar, but took me a second to remember since I'm rusty with anime.

I keep meaning to watch Princess tutu, but I keep slacking. XD I've heard that the series has a slow start, but gets better as it precedes? I tend to give series 2-3 episode trial run. If it doesn't catch my interest, I just move on.

Your art is cute. Can't wait to see what else you throw out here. Lil sad that you don't do requests, but it's completely understandable. :)

The palette challenge ones are neat. Probably won't work for graphics, but it'd be interesting to try. XD Where did you find that challenge?

Haha, I do tend to write pretty long posts, myself. So it's no problem.

Realism when working off of an actual reference can be do-able, but when I'm trying to work out something right off the top of my head, I can't call up details correctly or align features and shading the way they should be. All in all, realism just isn't a comfortable aspect of art for me, but I love to see it done by others who do it really well. I can certainly still appreciate it as art--it's just not the art for me.

The begging is the part of it that really gets to me. The fact that people asking for these things actually bump their topics multiple times a day, sometimes even once an hour. And they make sad faces and frowny faces and 'why no one like me' comments if someone doesn't do what they're asking for. And what does that bring? A sudden wave of people coming in to do their requests. It's emotional manipulation and I hate it. Anyone that tries to guilt people into getting what they want should honestly be ashamed of themselves, in my opinion. Same for comments like "well they must like this other thing better because no one wants to do mine", etc. The list goes on. It's a pity party and a popularity contest. The fact that such behavior is rewarded around here is a huge red warning sign to me. There are too many entitled people. I will never feel comfortable opening any sort of shop here.

Yeah, there is unfortunately a lot of people who continually create multiple threads that should have been kept in one. I'm honestly not sure why the mods don't do something about this. I hear the excuse sometimes of "well this site is mostly kids", but then I looked at an age poll and the highest tiers were 15+ to the age of about 21. And at that point, you should definitely know better than to behave like a whiny kid. And this part of the forums says it's for DISPLAYING THINGS MADE BY YOU. That is perhaps the most frustrating aspect, for me. These "draw my mayor/OC" threads don't even belong here. I've tried to ask the site about the possibility of a sub-forum here for those threads, but I haven't received any reply from staff and others that were either for or against it couldn't point me in the right direction for petitioning it.

Anyway, I'm glad that you enjoy talking to me. And likewise, you're a nice person to talk to. But I need to correct your misinterpretation here: I meant 'speaking my mind' in the sense of typing, not literally my actual voice. Haha. Generally I mean posts like this, where I express discontent with something. A lot of people don't like when people form their own opinions that aren't of the norm or accepted as the norm. That's true for just about anywhere. Nonetheless, I have no plans to change myself. I'm not being rude, but just expressing my opinion and explaining why it's an issue.

Eh, I don't think of it in terms of 'fairness', because that leads to things like pitying and being butthurt. I see it more from a standpoint of people bending the rules and intentions of specific parts of the forum all for the sake of getting more attention. It's a selfish thing, in my view. And I'm not going to rain my attentions down on people who are used to getting said attention. I don't care whether they ignore me or not. Their prerogative, just like mine is my own.

I might go ahead and make that thread. To avoid extra issues with it, I'll set down some ground rules for the thread to make sure things don't get out of hand. That should regulate it pretty well. And hopefully it'll be a nice place for artists to come and share work unrelated to the requests/commissions from other members here.

Lol, yeah, that's a constant issue with playing support roles/characters/classes. There's always going to be someone who expects the most attention of your efforts (or multiple people), and if the party fails at something, you'll more than likely get the blame. But that's part of the job class expectations, I suppose.

Thanks a lot! I won't spoil anything in Mother 3, like I said, but I'll just say that Lucas has pretty much had a really hard life at a young age. The story for the game is super great, though. Definitely one of my favorites ever. I suppose when things reach you on those levels, that's why we do fanworks in the first place. I develop strong attachments to characters and stories and they stick with me for many years to come.

Aww, thanks. Haha. Actually, the anime comes off as cute, but it gets pretty dark. I am pretty driven by one of the relationships in the series, if not because it just took me by surprise and developed so well that I couldn't help but become enamoured with the idea of them. I have tons of PT art and I'll probably be sharing lots more. It's currently the 'pairing week' for that relationship that I adore, and I'm running it with my friends on tumblr/Deviant Art. It's a load of fun.

Nah, I don't have a boyfriend/husband or anything like that. I'm sort of getting to know someone in my area, but we're strictly at e-mail stage, as I'm really shy in person and don't warm up to people quickly. That said, it's not so strange to be single. I don't mind being single, either. There's nothing to be ashamed of with it, as some people like to think. Sometimes, you just haven't found the right someone yet or just aren't that interested. For me, it's a little of both.

And here's a long post right back at'cha. lol

Pengutango: I'll save your response for another reply, since this message is huge enough as is.
 
We should actually do these discussions on Skype...well, they'll probably be just as long but obviously cut up into breaks haha D':
But we're cool so we can do long posts \o/
Yeah that's a good view on the art style in general, I was just never a fan of any realistic things when I used to draw but it's surely a breeze for someone who's mastered it.

I bump my topic a couple times a day ;-; but only when it goes off the first page!
I've never felt I've came across as begging but I have sounded like I've been asking for alot of art, but I never break it to the limits of what most users can be like in this section.
But ofcourse, the people who bump their topics even less than 2 hours are considered spamming and even the forum rules say to try to avoid bumping any of your topics too much so other topics can get noticed too.
But ayy, most people won't consider it as an actual thing aslong as they get their OC's drawn but people like you will have a really hard time trying to set that thing straight because who knows will just come in the thread saying some random bullcrap anyways.
I'm glad you're not opening a shop because you'll find it much easier to express yourself in general with your art thread, your replies to me are even expressing yourself to amounts some users wouldn't even be able to experience

I will admit, I do get annoyed with people who have art drawn for them all the time and then there's people like me who barely get the chance, but I won't make it a serious problem as I'm not going to sell my soul for a piece of art, even if it was by the best artist in the world but it can tick me off.

There are various users I would name who make threads often about drawing OC's or Mayors but it's against the rules for me to create some sort of list so ahwell, but I'd gladly be able to tell you a bunch of people to look out for incase you were to ever make some sort of shop or auction in the future.
It's a shame there's young people these days who still act like they're 12 but young-in's these days are spoilt compared to years ago, but I guess we can't really force back those times to a new audience but I really do hate that whole "there's alot of kids on the site" excuse, there's a bunch of oldies on here so ffs guise.

I agree on that and I wish there was another section for these request threads or atleast something similar to the Design request thread in the Able Sisters section, it'd be alot cleaner and there would be more threads dedicated to threads like yours...but I guess your point won't ever get across because of the amount of users who'd just down it out.

Yeah, there isn't alot of users here I can just sit down and have a good chat with anymore but you prove otherwise.
Oh goodness, sorry about that! I always forget the differences with those statements in general, silly me ;-;

Yeah, it's really hard to get opinions out there anymore because people just literally have a million excuses to prove you wrong in every single way possible compared to their opinions, it really makes me sick when I'm not even to share my point without someone being a complete ass about it.
Also yes, don't ever change yourself, you're wonderful as you are!

I see what you mean, It's like they just be bad on purpose to get that attention on a thread like the one you're willing to make but I guess it can't be avoid if people insist of being complete asswipes who don't actually care about Art in general...just a shame it can't be avoided but we have to live with it.

I hope it comes out really well if you make it ofcourse, wouldn't want to see it sink because of people probably attempting to use it to their advantages of them getting art, just hoping people are willing to listen to what you say on that thread.

Haha, I just never revive them if they would be a complete ass about things...I mean I got kicked out of parties for it but I'm still glad to have some sort of honor? idk but I'm glad you agree.

I did know that Lucas has had a bad life as a a kiddo (Goddamn memes already ruined it for me for his family) but I do love the take on a happier future for him, it really came out great and I'm glad for the creativity behind it.

Oh really? seems really unexpected and cool at the same time, It's not a thing I'd probably end up watching but it surely does sound like fun things happen with the sudden turn to dark, Reminds me of Kirby actually, if you know what I mean?

Oh dang really? well I'm sure you'll find a great guy with your attitude because it's really hard to actually find a lady such as yourself wandering around (just so you're aware, I'm not trying to flirt!)
But it's nice to hear you've met someone rad, I dunno why but Shy people usually turn out to be the best type of people? weird right?

But I know what you mean about the feelings, I've had that alot so I aint exactly tried to make a move onto any women I like.

another long post yay ;3;
 
So I'm going to chime in and say something because I feel like many users are being attacked here (even though there aren't any names being mentioned) - but it's pretty obvious of who they are. I admit, I do love getting art - whether it is of my OC or my Mayors. And I do try to obtain art when users open a shop/request thread because....why not? They're opening up for requests/shop, so obviously they should know what they're getting themselves into - especially during this art craze time on TBT. Am I not allowed to purchase/submit a request because I already have art of my OC/Mayor? It's like saying, you can't buy anymore candy bars when you've already bought one once before in your life. It's not my fault your request didn't get chosen over mine, the artist/OP has their right to do whatever they want.

No offense Hyogo, but you're sort of being a hypocrite of quite a few things you're saying. I'm not going to mention specifics, but you are. I don't want to start any issues, but it seriously does irritate me that you "have a list of people" you can give to Amissapanda - because I already know I'm on your "ban" list.

Anyways - you have wonderful art Amissapanda. And there seriously isn't enough support role players in the world of MMO's, they're like non-existent anymore ;/
 
actually nvm, I don't wanna cause any arguments in this thread.

Speak to me in PM if you wanna discuss my "hypocrite" comments I'm not aware of.

It's perfectly fine for people to get art done from shops and request threads. That wasn't even what I was implying if that wasn't clear - it's that people make multiple threads for people TO draw their OC/Mayor. And in my opinion, given what The Museum says it's for, those kinds of threads do not even belong here. And yet, that's what floods this section. I support the artists, but I literally had to go back dozens and dozens of pages to find old artists from here that had since been buried over constantly bumped "Draw my mayor/OC" threads. And people are seriously making multiple threads for THOSE threads, like "draw this specific OC for me" instead of just adding it into the same thread.

Anyway, I have not pointed fingers at anyone. This is a general concern of mine of what feels like abuse of the Museum itself to be used for what it isn't supposed to be for, according to what the site description says. But I'm not talking about artists who put up threads to sell their stuff and people who buy from them. That's much different, because it's not a thread that is basically being bumped to beg people to draw something for them. As an artist myself, I find that kind of thing incredibly off-putting and I don't see why it's in a forum section for "displaying things created by you".

But thank you, anyway. I hope I clarified my stance on all of this, as I never meant to "attack" anyone, but to express displeasure for this part of the forum being most widely used for something it doesn't even say it's for. This section feels less about the artists and more about people wanting things from them---which SHOULD be taken to the artist's shops (which some do, and I'm very glad for that). It's just sad to see that the most bumped topics here are not even art threads.
 
I knew that a bunch of those pics looked super familiar, but took me a second to remember since I'm rusty with anime.

I keep meaning to watch Princess tutu, but I keep slacking. XD I've heard that the series has a slow start, but gets better as it precedes? I tend to give series 2-3 episode trial run. If it doesn't catch my interest, I just move on.

Your art is cute. Can't wait to see what else you throw out here. Lil sad that you don't do requests, but it's completely understandable. :)

The palette challenge ones are neat. Probably won't work for graphics, but it'd be interesting to try. XD Where did you find that challenge?

I was hooked from the start of Princess Tutu, personally, but I guess some could consider it a slow start. It's very unique and each episode has relevance to the plot - there are literally no "filler" episodes or the like. I can't say whether or not it would grab your attention, though. I don't know you personally, so I don't know what you look for in anime or what catches your attention, etc. I mean, I'll sing its praises until the cows come home, but that doesn't mean I expect it to be everyone's cup of teat. It's unabashedly feminine, but there's nothing 'weak' or 'uninteresting' about something feminine, in my opinion. It's pretty sad how some people use that term as a synonym for 'bad'.

Thank you, though! I have plenty of art to share, and when I have time, I'm sure I'll be doing lots of new art. I never can stay away from it for long, as it's the hobby I enjoy the most out of anything.

I found the palette challenge both on plurk (a sort of social networking place) and tumblr. It's probably more common to find on tumblr. If you just search for "palette challenge" or the like, you'll find a lot of them. There's tons of different ones circulating around there. I like the one that has around 100 choices of palettes. Gives a lot of different things to work with. : )
 
And a piece of art for the night:

A little unsure Ahiru chibi~

This is a style I play around with sometimes for fun. I got into this panic mode around a year or so ago where I desperately wanted to change my style and tried to force the change really hard. It ultimately made me pretty unhappy and I decided that I should stick with what I'm comfortable with instead of trying to be more "outside of box" and "unique". But I still do like to play with the different styles sometimes for fun, anyway. : )

That and I find chibis to be a good stress reliever. They're cute and fun.
 
Some Zelink from Skyward Sword to suit my mood today.

Sometimes, you don’t need someone who knows all the right things to say.

Sometimes, the greatest comfort is just to be held with no words at all.
 
Aw, that's adorable!

Whys you feeling bad though?

Thanks. I like drawing with emotion. That's my key 'selling point' to my art, in my opinion.

As for feeling bad, I'm just having a really bad day. I won't get into all the reasons why. Everyone has bad days, so I'm sure the feelings will pass. Perhaps it might take more than a day or even a few days, but things will get brighter eventually. For now, I'm just not feeling very motivated and trying not to make any stupid decisions about quitting anything as a result.

im so in love with your art sobs.......

Thank you. I'm honored that you enjoy my art.
