Art vs Artist ^^
I don't have any other good selfies + I rarely take pictures of myself so bear with this lmao,, let's hope next year I'll actually do at least a few rendered pieces
2023 sure was an intense year for me! 🎉🎉🎉
I met a lot of new friends and discovered a lot of new fandoms! I learned how to draw lineless art and finally started to express myself! I got myself NECA Mirage!Honeycutt figurine and GIR rucksack I really wanted! Overall - this was a wonderful year and I’d like to thank everyone who was there for me this time around, you guys are awesome 💖
I totally forgot to post this yesterday oops!

Art Vs Artist [My commissions!]
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted but here’s my art v. artist!
Arch vs Archist.
I did the art vs artist meme, except I kind of cheated, because top middle, the art IS the artist
Well… here are my results of the year for the arts :3 I've never done anything like this before. Why don't I start making these things this year?)
Happy New Year!
A bit late posting here, sorry! It's a weird time of year and it's hard to get to reality after the Christmas period. I will have new work to post soon 🌟
Here - have a thing ✨
Do people do these on here? I will get back to posting actual art when I arrive back on earth. It's a bit late, but here's to 2024 🥂
I don't know if this challenge is popular on this site yet I'm dropping it anyway
Art Vs. Artist 2024?? Yeah
My Art Summary of 2023, along with a Art Vs Artist of this year
Most of these I posted publicly on here except for July's; which is a practice drawing of textured colored images featuring Rin Kagamine.
The template of the art summary is by @/taxkha (it's actually for 2022 but I edited because. Yes)
[ Ramble under the Read More. ]
I think Tumblr is the only place I can freely talk, aside from Discord with friends.
Honestly? I feel this year I've been lacking as an artist.
I draw full pieces once or twice a month while I see others post more art than me, sometimes posting doodles they made in their free times.
My doodles are traditional. I prefer posting digitally, but I do want to doodle digitally more. But why does everytime I think "I'm gonna doodle this thing that'll be done in a couple minutes" and then I'll spend almost an hour on it??
My once or twice a month postings are what I'm ashamed about, honestly. I wish I could draw more after two or three days of finishing my previous work. Was it tiredness? Was it laziness? Was it executive dysfunction?
I do think there's fear. There's a linger of it as if I can't draw this artwork exactly like my mental vision. I never had this before. Why now suddenly? As well as practice to draw something new or something I have to master again?
I need to step back. I'm trying to stop comparing my work from other artists, it feels so relieving. Why compare myself to another person as I and them are two completely different people? With two different perspectives?
I did talked about my posting schedules comparing others just now. I am still working on this personal problem. Comparing art is one thing, but comparing another's success might be a whole nother fuckery.
Of course I do find inspiration from others. Though... I feel a lot of the artists I am inspired by are so... contrasting. I should compile my art inspos in a little folder lmao
I'm not sure about the "Reblogs > Likes" will stay though. Nowadays I feel I don't give a fuck anymore, I just wanna draw and post art. I saw that and go back frustrated at the number of likes and reblogs/shares lmaoooo; I'm working that though.
Perhaps an artist's way of thriving is to thrive with other artists. I am grateful of the friends I made in Discord servers, especially the OC server. It's also the same server I participated in am art telephone known as Tewephone. Again, I am very happy to participate with my friends ^^
On a much less important note, I need more OCs. I need more. My brain keeps giving me character ideas and I feel like making characters. I need more non-fan OCs though. But still. Need more OCs.
I am holding onto the hope I still contain in my heart. 2023 has been a ton of ups and downs (a lot of downs to be honest but whatever). I wish my friends, my family and everyone reading this a happy and hopeful 2024.
Happy New Years, everyone! 🎉🎊
