Time for change
5 years ago
hey beans, i’m making an executive decision here! Once the queue has been finished for my current commissions I will be taking a break of sorts, from commissions especially. I will not stop creating and i will possibly still make adoptables because i still have bills to pay but i will not be taking any sort of commission for a good long while.
I’ve gotten... too caught up in the details of my art, making it look good and postable and perfect. I don’t mean to but i want to create something GOOD and that’s been stifling me because in order to create things that are good i need to create things that are bad. Stupid, ugly, pointless. Just For Me. I want to focus on getting my art back to a place where I’m happy with it instead of feeling like it’s never good enough.
This might mean posting more sketches or unfinished pieces sloppy and half colored. I will be experimenting and trying new things and trying to find a new voice for myself.
Please bear with me while i try to figure myself out through what’s going on in the world now, thank you

*the dryad tips her hat to the lioness* Do what you need to do, honey. Like the Matron says, Art has to come from an honest place to be any good. Sometimes you have to do some exploration to find that place or the filter you need to express it.

Thank you. I definitely need to take some time to do some exploration and find myself in my art again because it really does feel like I got lost along the way somewhere. I've been trying so hard to get other people to like my art that everything feels like a performance and it's been taking a toll in my art in more ways than one. Looking forward to finding my voice and self again, and seeing how much it might change!

Good for you. Wanted to get some stuff from you, but I'd much rather you look after yourself first and do what makes you happiest. :)
