Hi, i love storywriting and art and wish I could have more online friends who like it as much as I do!
Im in preproduction for a comic series I want to make in the future, and love hearing about other peoples OCs and lore.

Im a fan of discussing movies and artsy games and especially other peoples stories!!

Please be 20+ 🙏 im 20 and scared of teenagers

Also if anyone wants to do an art trade please hmu..

i have an art fight account but that website scares me also. Im kind of a little wet animal trembling in a burrow 😳

been wanting to create a comic with 3 "rent a hero" ocs of mine, inspired by 70s badass female films ( coffy, switchblade sisters, ebony, ivory and jade, etc with an influence of older 90s cartoons pulpy, villain of the week sort of cartoons (Powerpuff girls, billy and Mandy, Dexter's lab etc) also a bit of a y2k style influence

Not the best at story telling and would like someone to bounce create ideas around to help build the characters and the world

Currently trying to concept a villain

Hellooo!!

I love Character-design and Lore-building!

Fantasy and Horror (Eldritch ooohh) are my faves!!

I'm looking for a buddy who loves yapping (and hearing) about our OCS and the Lore of their worlds, Someone looking to simp (yes, i mean simp) over each other's Characters and even draw Art for each other! I LOVE collabs and gifts!!

My current project is a cozy semi-idle collectathon, I'm looking forward to sharing it and yapping with you about ideas you want me to add! :o

NEEDS

Above 18, preferable 20+ (I'm 22 and not comfy with younger), 

No prude; I want to talk and simp about morally grey or pitch black characters too,

Not purely fanart, I wanna yap about OCs and not famous media!

Have discord! I don't use anything else, even reddit is baaarely used

I'm up to joining a discord server too as long as it's small (below 100)

Please Comment or DM if you want to be buddies! :D

(CLOSED) I’m bored so I’ll pick 5 people from the comments section to draw their ocs! Plz attach an image of your oc :) I will post my version of your oc on my profile (with credit ofc) unless you tell me not to. You can use the drawing as you’d like as long as you give credit to me.

Hello! I discovered this sub recently

I’ve wanted to ask this for a while but I didn’t know which sub to post this too and I think this might be the best one for the question.

Over the years I think I’ve started to attach my own self worth/gratification to my work. For example, I’ll work on something such as the drawing attached to this post. It’s of the Tsaritsa from Genshin who is a new character that got revealed recently.

I’d then post it and see how much engagement it gets and if the next drawing I post doesn’t get around the same I start to wonder if my skills have declined.

I have a habit of thinking “I need to make this look good so people like it” not so much so as “I need to make this look good so I like it”

I try to draw in a semi realistic style (this is a WIP so it’s a lot less rendered than usual) so if I feel like it’s not realistic enough I start to panic a bit.

I don’t know why but along the way I’ve even developed this procrastination for drawing too like I’ll think “Oh I want to work on the WIP tonight” and then think about how it could go terribly and look awful and then immediately procrastinate.

Heck even for this WIP it looked so different from what I had in mind after working on it for 8 hours, I was pretty defeated the rest of the day.

I don’t think it’s wanting my work to look perfect since my usual work is on the messier side anyways but more so of “oh if this doesn’t turn out well or do well then that says something about me as a person” in a way.

It’s very frustrating and it’s probably one of the main reasons I never really finish anything. Maybe it’s also because I wanted to make this my career someday as I find my future one not so sustaining, and so I see it as oh if this work doesn’t come out well it’s over or something lol. For this year I had about 1 finished work so far and a huge stack of wips that should be done but were never touched again.

I just wish I could detach it from myself. I’m not very skilled at anything in life so I think that makes me put too much pressure on this

I lowkey wonder how I used to draw so carefree when I was younger. I like my work more now but it feels less fun and more stressful like I’m studying for something!!

I’ve been trying to do art comms 4 a while and heard VGen was a good way to do it, so I made a acc and am now looking for a code… only thing is I keep seeing posts about people saying it took them months which is kind of scary to me (as someone who isn’t too consistent T ^ T )
I’m not sure what’s the easiest way to get a code, so I’m trying to post here for a bit of advice on that :)
+I am looking for an art buddy if any1 wants to be one :)

I just want to know if my commission sheet is good and if my prices seem fair! I honestly haven’t been able to round up a good audience that’s seems very interested in my art so some help would be nice :D

Hello everyone there is a fanart I Made long time ago

I hope You like it

Drawn using color pencil

This was done with arrtx acrylic marker.

Imagine them looking at Cass doing something cute and looking at them for approval because she's still learning to be a normal teen or something.

I was thinking like 20€ cuz it takes me about 4 hours to make but im kinda scared to ask this much since I don't have an active community 😅

In the past I have spent my free time painting scenes and characters from some of my favorite anime.
From Naruto to Studio Ghibli and Howl’s Moving Castle.
Thinking of picking up paintings in free time !

Which one is your favorite, and what anime should I paint next?

I feel like my prices are too high for my skill level, I was told by other people to up my prices so I did but now I feel they are too high. Originally I made my full body $8 so you can imagine the prices for the other options. But now I feel like it’s too high since I don’t think my skill is high enough for $10+ commissions.
