I’ve received a lot of letters from artists asking to check out their artwork and their blog, and I’ve noticed that a lot of them openly write unhealthy amounts of negative comments about their artwork, it was super depressing, honestly.  :(
Confidence plays a very very important role as an artist, it’s what helps us learn and grow without the constant feeling of doubt and jealousy!  You are a unique individual who must go down your own unique path, and as scary as it sounds, you can’t rely on others to hold your hand all the way through.  You are the only one who can get yourself to where you need to go, and beating up your artwork is not the way!  Trust yourself and your abilities to make a change, and you can do anything!!

Love your art, love yourself!

If only it were that easy.

LoZ: Breath of the Wild - New Clip Shows Fire, Ice & Bomb Arrows

This week’s episode of Steven Universe featured a very special collaboration between The Crewniverse and Studio TRIGGER’s extremely talented Takafumi Hori.
This episode was beautiful and truly a surreal experience.
Please show Hori-San some love~

This blog was meant to be my art blog and a place for only my art and very specific art related subjects. This one was to be separate from my “personal” blog, however it has been a hassle to manage my accounts this way.
My usage of this one has far surpassed what was supposed to be my main one, and restricting myself from posting anything but my own content is extremely stressful because it makes me feel obligated to force out content, and keep a certain structure that I am in no state to maintain right now. I could never really feel too “involved” with anything because of the way I was trying to run my blog and focusing solely on posting nothing but my own content that I do not steadily produce was stressful and depressing, not to be dramatic.
What I plan to do with this blog from now on is to embrace art and animation and express my love for the medium. I’ll highlight artists from time to time and link to their works, discuss art and animation from games and post rare concept art etc, generally keeping this blog within that realm of content.
I hope I can provide a unique kind of infotainment to whomever decides to follow me.
Enjoy your stay.
