I hope your motivation finds it way back to you Foshu. You do such awesome work and this is no exception. ^.^

That's hot.

exotic <3

Oh, you're still doing this, eh?
Shame it didn't help you out.

the opposite really... I just did a cuttlefish, drawing myself as one really bummed me out even more

Hopefully something will give you inspiration to be motivated Foshu.
You don't want to go and quit like I did...

You make a very preety nautilius

Man, you always get the WORST species.

Although how you managed to make a Nautilus cute is beyond me...

They're kind of cute really, a lot more harmless than a cuttlefish

NAUTILUS

Nobody ever has any love for the nautiluses. Nautilusi? Nautili? I'unno.

Very well-done. Those little shelled tentacley things are usually pretty tough to get right!

*hugs the artist and nuzzles* It's vary good looks like the real thing.

Looks really neat with the painting style

I think this is one of the most interesting you've gotten...it's so tricky to get something this different to still be recognizable, but you've managed it very well!

recognizable? as me...?

*nods* I see it in the eyes especially...isn't this supposed to be Foshu as a Nautilus?

I guess lol

really lovely foshu. I allways enjoy your art. I hope you get more out of it again. Take care :)

Very nice work, you really caught the essence of creature. The effect of the water reflection and bubbles really give that deep sea feel.

Sorry to hear about your lack of motivation as of late, I really do enjoy your work. Even if it takes a long time to submit something again it will be something to look forward to. Take it easy Foshu.

Sweet!

Mm, very pretty. It really is quite an adorable Nautilus...

I'm so sorry about the dwindling motivation, Foshu x.x I know how that feels... i haven't completed a story in nearly a month now, and have three that are waiting for their final touches. Just gotta push on through. Don't even go for perfection, 's my advice. just keep making artworks, they don't even have to be really good. I've found that writing stupid, pointless things when I don't feel like writing anymore - while a chore, and a little depressive - makes me feel a lot better and more willing to write in the long run. Maybe it'll work for you, too. And I don't mean, like... drawings to please anyone, or for any deadline. Just do what you feel like, a little bit every day. I hope you try it... and if you do, I hope it works. I have faith in you <3

It's not the result, it's the process... I really want to draw, but I hate doing it

well, the process is the way to the result. again, I just say 'draw how you feel'. dun' even need to finish it, hun. I don't want to sound like I'm 'motivational guru' or anything, but even half finishing something can help out. Just draw till you don't feel like drawing it anymore, then leave it, and if you come back to it, yay n.n if not, no harm done. Besides, posting half finished drawings can be fun... gives the person looking at it a chance to finish the drawing in their own heads and make their own inferences.

Thank you sweetie, I'll try

your welcome. i hope that i was able to help, if only a li'l bit

I have to say this but you have made most of the species you have drawn yourself as look cute/epic....

you knpow...you made underwater pic nicely, makes me wonder what if you draw underwater vore? like anemon etc etc

I loved this species since I was a kid X3

not anymore?

I still do :3

Really cool.

one of the wierdest and the coolest mollusks on the face of the earth
