Hi! I have followed you on DeviantArt for a long time, like 5 years? I just want to say thank you for always being an inspiration to me. I recently went back to look for you on the internet but I find you are like a ghost! You are soooo talented and you should share your work more often! You wouldn't get judged for what you do. Well anyways, thanks for still being around. Your work inspires me greatly! :)
Imma reply to this! Since its kind of an ongoing thing with me since I stopped using the internet as an active participant when i was aaaaa teenager? Anyway will try to sum things up for recent times.
Long story short I had a full time decent paying job for 3 yrs but was working 80-100hrs/wk regularly. I got laid off, moved in with parents and now I am making minimum wage retail while I try to finally finish a degree that hopefully leads to a “real job”. I have… No Idea At All how anyone manages work AND school I am So. Tired. Im not even taking a full courseload so who knows for how many years this is my life now. Anyway. When I have time and energy to spare for art stuff its been more on experiments and learning skills I dont have (tryna get better at sewing… last year was fiddling with electronics… And this year i have access to a GARAGE so its time to BUILD THINGS)
If it makes u feel better here is a yellow ranger i drew last week when i should have been studying.
Aaaaand Im replying to this when i should be studying because i have an exam in the morning and work in the afternoon so. Bone thrown xD Thx for the msg and compliments and sorry for bein so defensive.
working on a color based battery life indicator, just got the colors mapped to analog input yaaaaay
alexds1 answered your question: What kind of things inspire you to worldbuild?
Honestly? I just feel like it is the default form of my imagination. My mind just automatically goes to possible alternate realities and worlds and timelines what-if cause/effect stuff. It happens a lot when I think about my own life too which is a problem :| I have trouble existing in the present...
PW6 in three flavors- yacht party, indiana jones, and SCIENCE.
I'll stop drawing so many clothes eventu-LOLOLsorry couldn't even finish that sentence
Gryph Encarcer, Jackalope Faun Ranger, Ghostbuster of Eldritch Horrors and Primordial Evils, fights with a giant paintbrush staff using calligraphy magic... because OCs can be whatever you want to draw all at the same time xD
First time I'm tempted to do a proper character Illustration in FOREVERRR, something fun like a flashy calling card maybe

What about Character Building Thursday (Thorsday), because question: What type of character is more difficult for you to write convincingly? For me, it’s villains.

Oh sweet I didn't know there was a specific character building day, I'm definitely going to have to switch to this for a while. I have a hard time with grey protagonists, sympathetic villains ok, but heroes with shitty personalities are tough! I think making a villain likeable is easier than giving a hero some really unpleasant traits and still making them likeable. Lots of people take for granted that you're just supposed to like the protagonist by virtue of them being the protagonist and we know how well that works :p Though I haven't really tried it with main characters I do have a few goodguys who kind of suck. Either selfish or cowardly, even have one that is unapologetically racist. There's two characters I really struggle with in my fantasy because I don't LIKE them, and I'm trying to decide if I have to like them. You have to have some empathy for characters to make them three-dimensional and believable right? And it's not like having a villain who gets redeemed thru character growth to become good or at least... less... bad. How do you redeem someone who is already supposedly good? A lot of it is so relative and "good" maybe just means "winning side" but there's a lot of assumptions that come with it. Like... likeability. So hard.
