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.

It makes your art unique so I can see why!

Well if you need a little help, even just a little motivational support, I'm always here to lend a hand or something (Just not a leg because I need those) wouldn't want you quitting anything either D:

Your art really has its own unique feel and style to it. It takes a long time to develop an individual style recognized as "your own" but I really do see it begginning to emerge in your work. Your style experiments are actually really good. See, a lot of people often think they would like to discover a style of there own and then carry on with just that style. I think a style needs to be developed and improved, plus experimented with. It is just like what you said earlier about perfect not existing. There are still so many things you could experiment with and I think this kind of experimentation will eventually lead to something truly and utterly amazing. So keep experimenting and having fun with different styles, your work is already unique as it is but that doesn't mean it's the end of the road. I'm actually pretty sure you allready know this, you seem very experienced about the art world. I tend to type as I think and I like art conversations like this.

I really love the colour pallete things you do. A lot of them seem to add to the emotion you're trying to portray. They are a real asset to your work~

I appreciate the offer, thanks. I'm alright, though. Sometimes you've really just got to pick yourself back up. And that's what I'm aiming to do.

Hey, no worries! I've had similar problems with double-posts on many forums before. Pretty sure it happens to all of us. : )

You're absolutely right. Styles take a lot of time and refining to get down (unless the style is deliberately doodly/scribbly, but that's not really my thing). I guess what frustrates me is that I felt like I haven't grown enough in my style or in my art for the very long amount of time that I've been drawing. I do like to experiment, but I rarely find that a style really "sticks" in practice or reaches a comfortable zone where the style in one drawing and another looks alike. I also have a fear of a style of mine ending up looking too much like someone else's unintentionally. There's just a lot of things to think about and consider when adapting and refining a style. I also fear that spending too much time stressing about it will start to take the fun out of drawing and art, which is certainly the last thing I want. It's a strange crossroads, I guess. I know that art continues to evolve over time, but sometimes you're just not sure what path to take or whether to leave well enough alone.

Anyway, I like conversing about these kinds of things, too. : ) And thank you! Palette challenges are definitely something that I discovered only this year that I really, really enjoy doing. I'm going to continue to experiment a lot with that and expand from my "safe" colors of characters. It really brings an entirely new element to the art, as color can set mood and be very expressive or very subtle. The possibilities are endless.

 

[Amissapanda]

I've never done any art of my mayor, so I thought I'd just do a quick doodle of her for fun to conceptualize what she would look like.

I was having a frustrating art night, but after doing a chibi for funsies, I feel less stressed over other stuff not turning out right. So yay for that, at least.

 

[pengutango]

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. : )

Yeah, filler can be hit or miss. Hmm, I haven't watched anime in general in over a year since I'm just into it as much as I used to, but some types of series I like are typically action, romcoms, slice of life. But, even if it does fit in, I still could check it out since you never know.

One of my friends really liked the series and I do have access to the whole thing, I just haven't motivated myself to try watching it. I definitely should since from what I've heard of the series, I might like it. Will let ya know what I think about it whenever I get around to watching it. Hopefully it will be in the near future, but I do already have a bunch of things

Ooh! Cool. I'll definitely check out tumblr and will be interesting for sure if I could do graphics with such a limited palette. XD Will definitely post them on my gallery thread when I get to trying one of them.

It definitely has some romantic comedy elements to it (or kind of both separately, I suppose), and bits of slice of life. But it's very much like almost like a... fairytale, I guess you would say. (Walking and talking animal people, magic, etc.)

Anyway, I'd love to hear what you think if you do find yourself watching it. I understand being busy, though. There's so many things I need to watch and catch up on, as well, and the list just keeps growing and growing.

Good luck with the palette challenges if you try them out! They should be interesting to try with graphics, too.

Even your mayor is legit adorable? Stop being so adorable before I faint.

So that's why you aint gone on Skype yet D': but I can't really enforce that since you said it can lag your PC.

Lmao, sorry? XD It's just a doodle, anyhow. I need to do some actual art of her to compliment my sig, but... eh, so much on my plate to do. And lots more coming up in October. I'll see when I have time for something a little less doodle-y of her.

Ahh, I'm sorry. I just haven't had the time. I'll try to get on it today. If not today, I'll probably stream tomorrow night, so I'll be on it tomorrow almost definitely, more than likely.

 

[Amissapanda]

Surprise, Hyogo! I made something for you last night.

Truth be told, ever since I joined here and shared my art, you've been pretty much the only person who has been constantly supporting and encouraging me, even when I didn't do art for you or open a shop. And that? Means a lot to me. I have felt so out-of-place here and like half the time posting my art didn't even matter because I'm not giving people things they want. Save for a couple people, my works tend to go ignored. But you have supported me despite that and never begged me for anything. You even attended my livestream of Mario Kart 8, even though we're practically strangers, and sent me a message about it. You sorta became the reason I kept posting here, since I told myself it was worth it as long as one or two people actually wanted to see my stuff and enjoyed it.

Out of almost everyone I've met here, I honestly feel like you're actually interested in being friends and you've given me unconditional feedback and support when I haven't given you any art and even said I wasn't taking commissions, which is something that no one else has done. It honestly touched me. You may be a bit rough with your words and blunt sometimes, but everyone has their flaws and I'm not about to hold that against you.

So... yeah, I really appreciate it. And I hope you'll enjoy this picture of Ness I drew by hand and colored digitally, featuring the Mr. Saturn outfit that you said you liked. I worked hard on it, because like I said, what you've shown to me has meant a lot to me as a person. I may not feel like I belong here because I don't run a little art shop or give requests, but thanks for making me feel like I matter.

I really can't thank you enough. I know this is really sappy-sounding, probably, but I mean every word of it. Enjoy the gift!

 

[Hyoshido]

-Snip-

I actually never would've expected this, this is a really big surprise! O':

I still plan to keep supporting you around here, after all, you've done the same for me when I was feeling really low about my pixel art, you've encouraged me to start doing my own hand-made projects instead of using bases (Although I will admit I borrowed some sprites to do Villager's shoes but I edited them enough to look selfmade!) but nonetheless, you've helped me out so I felt I had to do the same, you only deserve it after all.

I could never beg for you to do art for me unless you offered...well that wouldn't be begging but you know what I mean? I was happily willing to make another Paypal account and send you money for a drawing by you and I wouldn't even regret the purchase, you're a really good artist and friend and I want you to know that.

Haha, you know I couldn't of missed that Stream! I wanted to see how you played Mario Kart 8 and your attitude was absolutely flawless so I kept watching aslong as I could, even though it wasn't a long session for me I still really enjoyed my time watching! Although you already know this!

Truth be told, I was actually going to either take a really long break on pixel art or stop doing it in general but I thought "I don't want to sound disappointing to Amissa after the help she gave me, I should work on improving!" which I feel I have done and it's all thanks to you!

Really? I'm touched! I've never really felt like I've helped anyone here before, I'm glad that you've been able to put up with me and call me a friend around here, even though not alot of users like me for who I am, I'm glad someone does, I'm really glad.

While I don't feel like my feedback is the best feedback you've ever had but I've always been truthful of what I think of your designs, I'm glad you're still around here because I would've left the forums ages ago but you've kept me here and I must thank you for that!

About being rough...well, I know what you mean and I have never intended to be rude on purpose, but I have a severe problem with communication skills and it's stopped me from doing so much as I've always lacked ways of making myself strong with words and due to having such a lack in communication skills have caused me to sound awkward and unintentionally mean but I'm really glad you've been able to pass that over and not hold it against me, I'm really glad you're an understandable person too.

I appreciate all you've done for me with me getting back on track with my pixel art, I'm glad you feel the same for the support I've given you.

I really enjoy what you've done with Ness here but I do wonder if you've made up a possible fan-made future for Ness like you did for your Lucas piece? That was really fun sounding what you did for Lucas and that's all thanks to your creativity and I wonder if you did the same for Ness! I'm not gonna moan if you didn't as this is a real big surprise to me!

I feel much better since you say I'm basically worth the effort of a good piece of art, all your art is great. While that I'm aware you already know that, it just makes me feel like good knowing I'm actually worth your efforts and it really touches me, Thank you!

I feel that you really belong here, there are obviously those few members who use the Museum section like it's a public art request station and I hope they have never wanted to make you take your work down at anytime, there's only a few people who do art around here and they post it for the reasons to only showcase their skills and not become a worn-out shop, you're truly an inspiration around here but it seems majority of members ignore it because you're not shoving art down their throats!
(This is why I closed my request thread, I didn't feel better than those people so I did what I felt was right.)

No no no! you don't sound sappy at all! I'd totally do the same thing you did if I was in your place, you've really made my day a-lot better with this post and I really hope my response makes yours better too!

Thank you, I'll love this gift always (wow I sound "sad" xD...)
I'll admit, I shed a tear in joy after reading all this, it really meant alot to me!

Also the whole fainting thing was a sort of compliment! sorry if it came off awkward D':

 

[Amissapanda]

Well, I'm glad it was a surprise, as it was meant to be. lol

I'm happy to hear that I was able to help you out a bit. It can be difficult at times to bring across your intent properly, especially on places like the internet, where you're typing text that can be taken in any number of ways or "tones" that people think they see in it. So I'm glad you didn't think I was just trying to berate or lecture you, as that wasn't my intent.

I appreciate that, thank you. I still have a long way to go toward improving (probably endlessly, as the journey to improve pretty much never stops until you simply quit), but I'm honored that you think I'm good at what I do.

Haha, I didn't expect anyone from around here to show up at the stream, but you watched for awhile and Noodles_ popped in briefly, so I was pleasantly surprised. It was a lot of fun and streaming is one of those things that helps me relax more into being myself, because the way I sound and speak comes off a lot more accurately with personality than words on a page like this. There's no question of if I'm laughing when I'm laughing by voice, but when someone types "lol", chances are they probably didn't actually laugh at all.

I'm glad that you kept going with your pixel art and that you're trying your own thing. Look at all the support and encouragement you have now! It's really great to see and I hope it helps to motivate you to keep at it. I'm glad that I could play any small part in that at all.

Haha, well, you've helped, most certainly. It's not that I don't have friends or anything outside of this site, but this place is a new experience for me. And I've always been shy. It's only been in recent years that I've been speaking out more and voicing my opinions instead of just sitting quietly. And I think sometimes I come off as brash or "loud" in that way, but it's nice to know that not everyone will shun you for having an opinion and being vocal about it. And likewise, the support you've given for what I've shared is more than appreciated.

Communication is a difficult thing on the internet, so you're not alone---that's for sure. It takes time and getting to know people before they understand if you're the type of person to joke or be 100% literal, or other quirks that show up in the way that we type. It's difficult to determine or assume exactly what someone is communicating on the internet if you don't know them. Just give it time and have patience. If you're ever worried about being rude, re-read something before you send it and/or imagine how you'd feel if said thing were being directed at you. Also, emotions have a strong pull on that, as well. If you're feeling angry or irritated, it's sometimes best to hold off on a reply/response to something making you feel that way until you don't feel that emotion anymore. ...Anyway, that's just my take on it.

I don't really have a fan-made future for Ness or art like that for him, sorry to say. You could sorta say he's older in what I drew there, since I tend to draw teens looking, well... like older teens, I guess. I envision him in a future with another character, but if you haven't played EarthBound, that probably won't make much sense. Also, someone did an awesome "later years" comic of the EarthBound crew, which I adore, and that's kind of my headcanon for them in later years.

And you're more than welcome. If you like it, I couldn't ask for more than that.

I appreciate what you've said about belonging. It'll probably be awhile before I really feel at home here and more comfortable being myself, but you've certainly helped me on the way. And I have nothing against artists that make shops to sell their stuff. I completely understand that it's one way to put your skills towards getting something you want. I don't fault them for that. I just don't have the time or the motivation to do such a thing myself, especially when people swarm on those shops and requesting threads like crazy. It's pretty frightening. I don't consider myself an inspiration or anything, but the thought is appreciated, thanks. I just came here to share what I do, as that's what the Museum says it's for.

I'm glad to have made your day better. Your response has made me happy, as well.

Once again, you're very welcome. And I didn't find any of it awkward. I'm really glad you think it was worth the effort of making such a response.

Thanks for being you and thanks for your support to a woman who has felt vastly out-of-place around here. I can't express it enough, but hopefully the art piece does it for me.

As much as I would be willing to type another post (since you're worth it...also it gets me quite abit of forum bells :U) I need to shower soon so ;u;

But I'm really thankful for everything that's been said today! I really am! and like always, I'm happy to lookout for more art done by you and give you my opinion of it!

Also I wasn't expecting any future thingy for Ness really, and it was sudden after all! Just thought I'd ask since you made him look in the later teens c:

Hey, no problem. Don't feel pressured or anything, though.

If you do play EarthBound sometime, I'll show you the comic of their adult lives when I can track it down. It's hilarious.

 

[Hyoshido]

My brother is thinking of buying a PAL made cartridge of Earthbound, He has a GBA cartridge of Mother 3 fully translated to English tho!

I'll most likely get a SNES emulator tomorrow tho, dunno why I ain't got one yet, welp

 

[Amissapanda]

I'll most likely get a SNES emulator tomorrow tho, dunno why I ain't got one yet, welp

I recommend the ZSNES emulator. I think it's the best one out there for the SNES.

And now to post a nightly art:

I never did get around to coloring this one, but I like doing lineart now and then when I don't feel up to coloring or don't have the time to full-out color something. And as usual, couple-y shippy stuff, because that's what I love to do the most with my OTPs. The flowers... are pretty much a mess. I should have stuck to one or two kinds and worked from there, but I got overzealous with adding a flower motif. lol

I'd like to think I might get around to coloring it properly someday, but... more than likely, that won't happen. It could, but it's not pressing enough for me to put it on some kind of to-do list.

 

[Amissapanda]

Another lonely art bump~

Last taste of summer, since today is hella cold. Dropped from the 80's to the 40's overnight. I miss the sunshine and warm days and I'm not looking forward to snow.

I need to get busy on Fakiru Week stuff, but I'm soooooo far behind. My stuff is gonna be so late this year.

 

[Hyoshido]

Lovely pieces of work like always Amissa, you never disappoint us! I'm pretty sure there's others who love your work too ;-;

Also the weather is like the opposite here, it's getting kinda humid at some nights <:I I had a stomach ache last night and my head was so warm (I can't sleep if my head is too hot because it stresses me out alot)

 

[Shirohibiki]

gosh i just love your art so much <333 i always love seeing new pieces no matter the series~! keep up the lovely work, dear~!

Thanks, I appreciate it. Though I'm not really concerned about disappointing anyone, since it's not like I'm doing commissions or anything. More or less, it just gives me a better idea of what a lot of the community here is like, unfortunately.

gosh i just love your art so much <333 i always love seeing new pieces no matter the series~! keep up the lovely work, dear~!

Thank you for the support. I'm glad that you enjoy my art. I'll continue to share here and there, lest I end up leaving the site.
