So, have this, I guess. Just a random lioness. I have felt pretty nostalgic recently. I used to be super active on deviantArt and I drew a lot of TLK back in the day. I also just...I dunno, I just drew whatever came to mind, without thinking about if it would help me get a commission or new followers or anything. I also didn't really care how many people saw it or commented on it, if a friend or two said something about it, it was enough and made me happy. I kinda miss that time when I drew just for the sake of drawing. Nowadays I either feel too depressed too draw, too frustrated with my own lack of skill, or I draw to get money because I have been hitting one financial rough patch after the other in the past few years. And while I am incredibly grateful for everyone that has commissioned me, it's just, not me. Most of the themes in my gallery right now aren't really 'me'. Though maybe that's a pattern for many people on here. It probably is.
All this prompted me to draw this for old time's sake. And while I do not plan on getting back to drawing TLK regularly because I'd prefer to draw my own stuff (as in, my own ocs, using my own style), I did enjoy myself. It was nice drawing something without the intent of getting more followers that might commission whatever theme I threw out there. I still feel too frustrated most of the time to draw those ocs of mine that are truly important to me, because I just lack the skill to draw all the scenes I have in mind. Hell, I can barely handle a bust without having a breakdown over it. But maybe I can get to practising soon. That would be nice.
