a reminder that i needed today

hey, so i’m betting a lot of us have seen this graph before:

i think it’s very true, and a great comfort during slumps. but sometimes a slump goes on for a really damn long time. even though i’m almost always very happy with the art i make, i sometimes see art of a much higher quality than mine and realize how far i have left to go. and then i look back on my own art over the past year or two and see little to no improvement at a glance.

the Reminder that i really needed today was that improvement can be significant while also being subtle. speed is a skill. shape consistency is a skill. drawing something with fewer Undo’s is a skill. adding new characters, species, clothing, etc to the list of Things You Have Drawn is a skill. learning a new art program is a skill. tweaking and experimenting with brushes to find one you like is a skill. changing your process for constructing shapes and figures more easily is a skill. all of these skills feed off one another and all of them contribute to your overall Skill At Making Art. you can be honing all of these skills over the period of months or years, and yet by just looking at your history of finished works you can easily overlook it.

Storch x Kolibri :3!!!

Someone on reddit wanted this drawn as Storch x Kolibri! so I drew it >:3!!!

The DM 🎲 Some lore thoughts for her under the cut ^^

Art Tag | Websites

So.... I got some thinking abt Vel background more and chatting with @dreanzwolf ♥️ give me so much ideas lol. What if she slowly gain sentience just because of creating a lot of DnD stories/route possibility?

She started as a stiff robotic character the cafe owner bought as a waitress, giving her a template story with premade characters for anyone that wanted a DnD campaign in the cafe, and doing that job pretty well (aside from being too stiff at times XD)

But as the session getting longer, she adapt and create her own story while also adopting one of the NPC personality as her own, just because this specific character appeal and liked by a lot of the DnD players there. Had a thought that the NPC is a potion crafter/mage lady that have a soft spot for anything cute XD. And because of this, she sometimes act like she's doing LARPing at times (the old english speech choice and stuffs). Easily curious and excited by anything medieval/magical XD

The cafe owner slowly realizing that she gain sentience the more she DM for people, but didn't freak out abt it and decided that maybe Vel can be taught to grow so the story she made felt more real and immersive.

What i had in mind so far for the cafe is a small one ^^, with just 2 person managing it, plus Vel and a small drone robot that company the owner. don't want it to be like something big, just a small board game cafe in the side of town :3

That's what i had for her so far hehe ^^ Growing OCs idea is sooo fun sometimes

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.
