FA+

Also instead doing new account, just bumb everything you dont like in scraps and start fill gallery with new stuff :D
But yeah Ill def. think about it using my scraps !!
This way who ever had favorited my stuff, could still keep the favorits ^_^
It was really freshing and now i like the stuff i scrible together :D
and experiment. Just have fun, heck try something new on the trade for me if you like I really do
not mind. But seriously no need for new account, just do some experimental commissions
its just so difficult because im p good at art but it doesnt feel like me ??? And its. frustrating.
i may take up on your offer to experiment on our trade its just lately ive been in such a crazy art block cri
I'm finally happy with my chibi style, better with anthro,
but feral stuff and anthro faces feel too toony. But I keep
Experimenting to try and improve it. As for artblock, what
I normally do is freebies or draw for myself just to get my
hands back in motion
not feeling as if it is actually their art rip
its rlly sad when i think about it especially since ive taken years to perfect it and now Im like ??
this isnt my shit ?? crii
If you feel like you need to make a new account to feel comfortable doing it, then make it!
You deserve to feel joy from your own work.
also I'll commission you to do experiment art, doesn't even matter what it is as long as you try something new and expand your skills
and sh no. its ok i dont need ur money im lame but yeah i want to expand but im so gross
i wish i was smol and cute LOL then i wouldnt hate myself as much OOOO //cringe
I really enjoy your work, you have a good hold on anatomy and style in my opinion, but I believe whatever you do eventually come up with will be great as well.
Do you have an idea as to what you're aiming for? Is there something you want your work to be called when people see it? By that, I mean like "Your work has a graceful and dreamy feel" or "Your work is vibrant and bold" or "Your work gives a gloomy eerieness" kinda deal?
To be honest, I still want all sorts of art from you, probably no matter what you choose for a style.~
i adore bright eyesore colors, odd glitching, static, heavy black accents and things as such but then on the other hand I also love the softer side with still bright colors but being able to use different color palettes?
like instead of having the sky blue, grass green and tree brown i love it when its like pink sky, purple grass & blue tree??? if that makes sense
i just never seem to pull it off like I see a lot of artist doing.
im stuck in a routine and even when I do allow myself to expand I get frustrated knowing im still holding myself back/I cant get it right? idk. i just. hate my art rn
The closest Ive gotten with being mildly satisfied with how i want my art to look is my vent pieces like http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21103416/ or http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21307075/ and even that isnt 100% what i want UGH
But it means a lot knowing youd still like my style regardless seeing as youre one of my first idols i crii
Yeah, those are some rad colors on those examples. I adore what you did there. So, you kiiinda know what you wanna do with your colors. How about anatomy style? Is that a thing you're wanting to change too? Do you know particular artists who kinda do what you want? Perhaps hybrid mashing them together could help. Putting many aspects of your favorite things into your work.
For example with my style, it's kinda a weird hybrid between Disney, semi-realism and lacey bits. I love my style but I also know it's not yet exactly how I want it to look. Not because I don't know what I want, but because I am working on making it look how it does in my head. Which may take many many more years until I feel like "Yes, now I see exactly what I want to express". Every body part is aimed to be in a particular style. My tails are supposed to appear somewhat "damp" and "flowy" sorta. The eyes are kinda what you'd see Japanese anime with Disney's basic shape made more detailed. I want it to be more toony than realistic (since realism tends to bore me) so I exaggerate paws, ears and other things. The teeth are finally getting the way I want them to look; more curved and more thick. Dragging this on though.
What my point is, is that my style is a big cluster of how I like certain body parts to look. My style isn't based on one element. It gives me room for variety as well. I can make pretty and pale pieces along with harsh and dark pieces. Is that something you'd maybe want?
Aaw jeez, that's so nice to hear. You have no idea. :> I still adore the pieces you made for me. The classic Seraph look in TFPR. A lotta people noticed that. ^^ I still wanna get his new look by you too.
And yes that is something I want its just something i need to keep working on and thats whats frustrating because it seems as if i cant get that? i cant seem to practice and get the same feel
not to mention the fact my art takes beyond the normal amount of hours to do- itll take weeks sometimes to finish a piece and i really dont know why when most people do things in a day.
and Im so very glad oml the latest piece done from you for me is BREATH TAKING i adore the way you did the scales sooooo fucking much ! And Seph is great, hes so fun to draw tbh cuz hes so handsome rip
