Haha, thanks. Furries definitely are not in the realm of my comfort zone at all, but I guess they're fun to do every now and then (and offer a challenge toward the more humanly-inclined, like myself). I still much prefer drawing human/humanoid characters, so it's not as though I'm switching up to drawing a bunch of anthro characters, but now and then if I feel inspired/motivated, I won't shy away from it quite as much. At least where the Animal Crossing ones are concerned, anyway.

Fang is definitely a big fluffy puppy. For all that he's meant to be a cranky villager, he's got to be one of my nicest, despite that gruff exterior. XD And I bet he's a total sap for Diana. Hahaha.

I actually didn't watch any of last night's stream D': my connection was going a tad slow and you were still looking for people when I was there so I just called it for the night.

:'c sad times.

No worries. It always takes a little while for people to trickle in the play, but man... it was so hilarious. I need to upload some of it to YouTube because of this crazy thing that happened during one of the races. I had the chat in stitches over it. It was pretty much a crazy night of races altogether. So much lightning.

I've been looking at this thread for a while, and I just want to say I love your art.

Thank you very much! I'm glad that you like it.

 

[Amissapanda]

I've been playing a lot of Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Super Smash Bros 3DS and Sims 3, so... I haven't been drawing much the past couple days. lol

Here's something a little older, but not really old.

She was like a rose in full bloom.

Above caption taken from my post on tumblr. I just wanted to do something very pink with Princess Tutu.

 

[Hyoshido]

S'all good, aslong as you're having a good time, it's all fine!
Lovely work like always, I'm really diggin' the shades of pink you have goin' on!

Also do you uhh...wanna battle a few on Smash? .3.

True that. Gaming is always a good time.

Thanks! I felt the desire to try working with some subtle flower motifs in the design, too. Overall, I think it had a pretty nice effect. It's good to work outside of the box a bit sometimes.

As for Smash, I'll have to say... take a raincheck on that. I haven't played much Smash since the days of the original N64 one. I'm REALLY bad at the game and still unlocking characters, so it'll be a bit before I feel brave enough to try online play. I'm sure I'd be no challenge whatsoever to a seasoned Smash Bros. player. lol

 

[Hyoshido]

Naw, I guess I couldn't ask you to fight me till you feel ready, the lag online isn't the most helpful thing either but eh :c

 

[roseychuu]

oh my goodness, i've seen your art on tumblr before (mostly your legend of zelda ones, ss zelda and link are such precious babies ////) although i didn't realize that until i came across your thread on here! lovely work, and i absolutely love that drawing of princess tutu as well! its such a great anime, i can tell you have a big liking to it ;u;

I'm hilariously bad at the game. I can barely go it against level 3 and 4 computers to come out on top. And even then, I fail hardcore at blocking, dodging, and recovery, especially. I wouldn't necessarily feel ready to fight a player very familiar with the game for quite some time. I'm going to look for some other beginners on tumblr to fight against.

Oh, wow! I didn't think anyone here would have seen my artwork before. I guess those LoZ ones with Skyward Sword Zelink did kind of go all over the place, though. (I was really surprised. I never realized how big that fandom was until I made art for it.)

Thank you so much! And yes, Princess Tutu is like... my anime of animes. I've been in love with it since 2006 when I first saw it and since then, my love for it has just created and ever-flowing fountain of inspiration. I simply can't get enough of it! The fandom is small, but really dedicated and fun. I'm sure I'll still be doing art for it for years to come, even past the hundreds of fanarts and fanworks I've done for it over the years already.

I might be closing this thread and just going into lurk mode. I dunno, guys. I'm just not having a great experience here and the complete focus on how artists must have shops or give free art for people to really care about anything they do is kind of annoying. Any interest I could ever have in putting a shop up here is completely disintegrated to a thousand pieces because of the community specifically in this section of the forums. Granted, I'm not saying everyone is like this, but the vast majority is. I'm better off where I'm already comfortable, like on tumblr. If for some reason you still want to see my stuff, you can always find it there, linked through my signature.

TL;DR: I don't feel comfortable here. I don't like feeling obligated to open a shop/give free stuff. The community is too entitled to the above things for me to fit in here.

 

[Hyoshido]

I understand what you mean and I hope what you're doing is what's right for you, I'm always on Skype and my PM's have been refreshed so if you ever just fancy a chat, hit me up c:

Because I'd be sure to spam your inbox :'D

 

[Amissapanda]

After some thought, I'll give this another go. I shouldn't really care what the majority here do or think, so long as there's even one or two people that want to see my stuff. I even said that before, but I guess I've been fighting a bit of depression lately to the best of my ability, so it's not as easy to keep my thoughts as positive as I'd like.

Anyway, here's something old. I saw some people discussing Harvest Moon: Animal Parade in another thread and that's my ultimate favorite HM game (I'm in the middle of doing a Let's Play of it, too). I've done some art for it (not a ton, but some).

"And it’ll be the best damn sandwich you’ve ever had.”

Basically, Chase is my favorite bachelor. I'm a sucker for the grumpy/tsundere types who don't immediately warm up to the protagonist. And I ship him hardcore with Molly/Hikari.

 

[Eldin]

glad you've returned! art should be fun not an obligation, don't let anybody get you down! c:

and agh I love it, Animal Parade is one of my favourites (total HM fanatic here) this actually makes me like Chase more lol, maybe I'll go for him in a new save file some time, I need to replay that game anyways. I've only done one female file so far and I was Wizard all the way

 

[Hyoshido]

Glad to know you're still doing these Amissa, even though there isn't alot of people who comment on your art...Your stuff is always welcome here and for the people who don't notice it, they're missing out IMO.

Sure they won't be getting any requests or commissions, it'd be nice for them to at least notice you as another human instead of some art slave.

While I haven't played Harvest Moon games in general, I hope you're enjoying your time with it c:

 

[Shirohibiki]

OMG IVE NEVER PLAYED HM BUT THAT GUY IS RLY CUTE..........wOW....
wheezes over the barrettes in his hair
i just love looking at your art so much its so rad pls never stop

ok i didnt see that more recent post and... well... maybe its cause people arent in the same fandoms? i actually dont know. i mean, i love your art, and im glad youre going to continue posting, but im real sorry you dont feel comfortable. ): i hope things get better for you.

Too true. That's why I never pursued an art career of any kind. I have the feeling if it became a job and was given deadlines, I'd lose artistic freedom that I love. So I'm not going to let any sort of behavior here pressure me into opening a shop, either.

I'm definitely an HM fanatic, too! Granted, I got into the series pretty late. But I also enjoyed More Friends from Mineral Town (GBA), Sunshine Islands (DS), Tale of Two Towns (DS), and Harvest Moon: A New Beginning (3DS). Animal Parade just happened to be my favorite, but I enjoy them in general. I also have Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny and Rune Factory 4, but for some reason, I just can't get into it the way I get into HM games, despite the vast similarities.

Wizard/Gale is great, too! I haven't had the protag marry him yet, though I really like him in-game. He's very soft-spoken, but sweet. Plus, if you marry him, all of the other bachelorettes can get married off instead of someone being forever alone. (Though I like to think Molly actually saves Maya from getting stuck with Chase, 'cause he's kind of a huge ass to her.) I like Gill, too (even if he's a stalker), but I like him more with Angela than with Molly (yeah, I even differentiate the two---in my headcanon, they're sisters). Those were the main three I've been stuck between when I play (nothing against the other bachelors, though). HM:AP is something that I felt more immersed in than other HM games since it actually had a plot that felt fun and rewarding and not terribly shallow. Plus it's just one of those games I play that makes me happy and relieves stress, though that's true for many HM games.

I'll answer the rest tomorrow, guys. I haven't forgotten you. The site is loading weird/being obnoxiously slow for me right now and not letting me quote your posts.

Thanks, I appreciate that. Entitlement is something that has always rubbed me the wrong way in the art world. You should have seen the ****storm in my DA inbox and tumblr messages when I first started taking monetary commissions. They were so used to getting free fanart requests that I literally didn't get so much as a single "good for you!" or "good luck!" or anything like that. Not from anyone. I got complaints, instead. Someone even berated me about how it "wasn't fair" and that if I took them free before I should take them free all the time. It really, really, really makes me lose faith in people. Artists have it rough. The majority of people literally will not give a crap about you if you don't give free art or do their specific requests.

But I've met a number of people/friends who DO support me, especially over on tumblr, so I'm very glad for them. I know that they'd look forward to anything I post, and that gives me a good amount of motivation to keep doing what I'm doing and enjoying what I enjoy. It's a mistake to pander to someone else's wants and expectations of you. They'll become accustomed to it. And hell, it seems that half the time I do something for someone, they go out and find someone else to do the same thing anyway.

I'm not currently playing any HM games, though I should get back to my LP. There's just too much stuff I want to do/need to do, but I've not been inspired or motivated at all lately. Pretty much the opposite.

Chase is pretty cool. lol I like the three barrettes he uses in his hair. I guess cooks, especially, need to keep that hair out of their face. But thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying the art. I'll be posting some old stuff for awhile, since I've not had any inspiration/motivation lately.

Eh, no, it has nothing to do with fandoms, really. It all depends on whether or not said person has drawn something for them before, it seems. Besides, I've done Animal Crossing stuff, too. I don't think I'm ever really going to feel that comfortable here, since I neither really click with people in general around here or other artists. I'll just kind of share my stuff quietly in this thread. I'm glad that you enjoy it either way, though. Thanks.
