A few goals met, and some rambles

Let's get the rambling out!

There's so many things happening in my personal life, but thankfully nothing really horrible (they do suck), just small things that seem like they're piling up. And then GESTURES AT EVERYTHING has me frazzled because I want to find joy but I secretly worry I come off as someone who has their head in the sand. I'm trying to follow my own advice and the advice of others that creating is part of rebelling! Doing art genuinely makes me happy, and if it helps others smile that makes my day. It's the balance of trying not to push myself too hard. I call it my "entertainer mode" I did it a lot with family, where I became the impromptu host for things, or was left to make the decisions for everyone else because they didn't want to. And then my decisions were never good enough, in their opinion.

So when I fall into "entertainer mode" I begin to worry Im not doing enough. It comes and goes but I hate when it shows up. You think you're not fast enough, or the quality of your work is lacking. There's always something! But I look back and see all the work I did to try and fight it. Im learning to try and ask friends for affirmations because having a second opinion really helps 😭 And to help fight this feeling Im posting up some art to show that Ive accomplished some of the goals on my list. Im not falling behind! I must free myself from this self imposed prison!!!

Onto the art!

Draw three traditional pieces! CHECK! I only have two to show for it because another was a postcard sent to a friend! I made a small sheet for my rito oc for a cool project on tumblr called the Ritoblr Census! And the stamps were for another awesome project done by my friend Werewolf/Gargoylesister who was holding a competition to create stamps based on landmarks around Hyrule (of any game) and these were my submissions!

Next is draw three digital pieces. CHECK! I drew way more but these were a few of my favorites for an emotion challenge meme. And my friend Operative-Arrow's Rook, Vital, is there which checks off two other goals :> (drawing another persons OC and draw something from a different fandom)

I have a couple of comics I did which I'll post on their own, and all that's left is doing a background. That's the one I hesitate on but a piece of art doesnt need to be perfect, it just has to exist!

If you read through all this, thank you. And as always, thank you for your support too. Please take care of yourself and I'll see you again soon! 💖
