yeaaa really 🥺 it was always very close to my heart.
in truth, i've spent so much time drawing rain world stuff because that game's world was hugely inspiring, I always think of it. But, there is nothing that quite warms the heart as much as these simple loving pet themes.
You know, maybe this is a bit of a ramble, but let me ramble.
Ironically, a long time ago now, one part of why I left my old identity was so I could follow whatever feelings I wanted without thinking of an audience. But since then though, I knew I wanted to share my art again. Without tackling that initial problem of mine, I re-introduced an anxiety the audience that came around for my newer Rain World art might unfavorably interpret those old pet themes and judge. I accidentally traded away an audience I imagined to pull at me, only for another that never knew as much of me. I came to realize, the only reasons I have ever gotten anywhere with art is by expressing myself and my honest interests, the kind of art that I would draw if even nobody was looking. Maybe not everyone cares for every piece, but if an audience ever existed that couldn't stand such expression, a fear of their rejection is only a decision to hold my feelings, and cast away the only thing that actually connects the source of my art to the people who view it.
Maybe it's a bit silly to think that deeply about why to doodle tubby pokemon pets. If it is silly, yet can honestly warm the heart of others like me, all the more reason to have fun without worry, openly.

Dang, that was super well thought out and I 100% relate haha. Feeling like I owe a certain type of art to an audience is definitely a nagging thought to me as an artist as well, it honestly burns me out on occasion.
Reading thru your ramble kinda relaxes that part of my thoughts though! Having an audience is only a small part to why someone would want to make art, creating things that you love to make is where the heart and soul of art lies <3
