It also helps me realize that… I really just, have not been okay now for a while. I’m still working, doing etsy, traveling to shows and still having a fun time at them! And I think maybe, that tricked me into thinking I’m okay. And like, it feels dumb to talk about, because especially in the world right now, so many people are having it so much worse. (I read up on Ukraine every day, Slava Ukraini) but maybe doomscrolling reddit isn’t helping.
I know I’m in a really bad slump now and unsure how to get out. I’m still designing though, so. I’ll post some of the things I’ve done!
Finally watched Arcane, and just finished designing some new keychains and pillow cases! Vi, Jynx and Viktor all have that outline because they’re pillows, and I really liked the border I gave them!
I finished painting this a few weeks ago… not sure why I didn’t post it online. I accidentally made it have a similar pose to a drawing a while back but, I find this pose pretty hard to do, and it just felt like a nice peaceful idea to draw while on flights. I’ve also been experimenting with a mix of painting and cell shading, and I think it’s a really cool effect.
And the last thing I’ve been focusing on…. I remember years ago I promised myself I’d NEVER make plushies, and well. Things change and…
I’m in the middle of designing a plushie rainbow jester girl! This is the finished sample and I think I should be getting it in the mail physically sometime in the future. But it’s inspired me to design a few more plush designs, big surprise, all based on adorable girls (Because yes, that’s what I love drawing the most in case it isn’t clear) Getting plushies made is SO expensive so I don’t think I’ll actually be able to start selling any, anytime soon, but it’s a goal I’m working towards eventually!
So. I hope these were interesting!
EDIT: Jeese I answered the question originally really positive, then did this response which was real sad in the tags and stuff. Sorry I swear I’m not trying to flip flop! Ok thanks for reading
