In my art hermit arc, I'm hitting the brakes to actually plan the final part of my story.

My take on "draw for yourself" is "disconnect yourself from the social media art space, it is tailor made to drive up despair, FOMO and distract you from drawing."

Some of my ocs have proportions that have been all over the place, and my art hermit arc is going to rectify that.

Still thinking about how randy stair malnourishing himself and not treating his insomnia absolutely put holes in his brain to make him do that shit.

Epilepsy tw I know dbz has its flaws, but this kind character who loved living things giving a speech of "nonviolence can't fix everything" is pretty raw. youtu.be/FiSmnQMftAw?...

i was drawing akropolis today, and a coworker wanted to see the rest of my drawing of her. little things remind me of my art having worth outside of social media presence.

youtu.be/Wl-I6Xoaur4 in the debate between big vs small artists, I think the major problem is a capitalist, exploitative system that demands people's blood and souls to power it and a social media algorithm which encourages FOMO and self worth determine by likes.

Much of art is political, but it doesn't make it good. I'd argue there's political art that's actually harmful.

Damn, mgs4 wasn't lying The world really is at the mercy of dead people and corpses who refuse to die.

A problem with discord is also being quietly "fifth wheeled." I've seen several people and myself get hit with it. I don't hate the discord this happened to me, but I don't have to like how it happened to me or others.

Re9 is inspiring me to put thought and effort into my designs.

Cancel culture exists, look at glinner's feed snitch tagging to companies and organizations on twitter or zionists shutting down dissent towards israel as "antisemitism."

Reminder: if someone tries to come at me with my semi realistic art, accusing me of being fascist, i will bonk them on the head with a artbooks filled with socialist and social realism until the tumblr demon leaves their body.

My paternal grandfather was ex military and worked for a military adjacent company until he retired My maternal grandfather was a draftsman for an aircraft company. Dad would say that's where I got my artistic skills from.

much of art made does have political and personal themes behind it.I feel your political art must do more than "trigger" the ""chud"". Character? Story? Artistic effort? political art is art, and effort is the only thing separating you and the lunatic who makes sinfest. #valiantwarriorsquadron

Drew this at support group! On the left is Commander Wagner, HCA operative and special forces coordinator of the HGK. On the right is Special operations commissar Volodymyr, who commands E-12. #valiantwarriorsquadron #ocsky

15 things wrong with it, but I got RM I'm design down. I took if from the first design of RM II when the #valiantwarriorsquadron was a comic. I tweaked the helmet mask, & stuck with the overcoat. It's made of super science elastic bullshit so he can leap around and kill neo nazis and pilot. #ocsky

Surprise for part II, guess who's getting a redemption arc (this isn't a joke) I'm going to reconstruct the domesticated war criminal and angry white guy trope so hard. #valiantwarriorsquadron

A while ago, I wanted part 2 to be a reflection of 2021. The world was falling apart, but I still had to go to work. I'm glad I was able to incorporate that.

*Harvey dent voice* you either fizzle out as a nobody or suceed long enough to see your work become a colonized third space for maladjusted parasocial individuals who only have clemency for children's cartoon characters.

It seems like people go insane chasing indie entertainer clout or they regret even getting it.

Rip lincarox, you would've loved bluesky.

RM I is a reflection of the VWS pre story revision with a storyboard artist. It's progressive but so bitterly pessimistic. It's not wrong, but it needs to stop with the doomer shit. youtu.be/jRvdJxwvjhs?...

I'm so happy I got to flesh out more of main cast. I want to do more of that in part II. It's wonky, got a bunch of spelling errors and small fixes I need to make, but it's set me on the right path. Shoving almost all my secondary cast to Russia & Southeast Asia was a great move so my 6 can shine.

I finally feel so free. I've found an odd way to compromise my project's art and my writing. Wrting, posting, and Finishing the story while polishing the art behind the scenes to give it the quality it deserves when I'm ready.

Hey folks! My 3hr private stream tier is open again on Kofi! Join us this month for a request stream and new sticker for this month ! ko-fi.com/motorthreads...

Something that had been giving me trouble with my project was doing a lot of stuff myself. I have nearly stopped doing the art to alleviate the amount of work I need to do. Some day, the art for my project will return.

I'll be taking time to replan the rest of part II. Fixing everything for the finale took a lot of writing enthusiasm out of me.

I get it's a cliche to "not post until you're good enough" but the case with my project is "I just want to finish the story instead of taking months to finish art". Also "I want to quietly acheive the polished quality of artwork my project deserves." I can always go back and fix it.
