Thank you! Binged all of the available chapters after that jaw dropping trailer!

All the best to you as well. It’s tough to take that first step, but you can do it!

That’s true. I’m excited for the learning, but sometimes I can’t help but feel like I should’ve started early. I’m no longer the youngest board artist on any given production like I used to be, and it sobers you up a lot when you realize you’ve wasted your youth not trying to be truer to yourself

I don’t think it’s as gloomy as I’m making it out to be; I’m finally working on anime now and I’ve had good reception to my work. But it’s hard not to be trapped in what-ifs. At the end I can only try my best, but once in a while I do gotta vent

Even for my OCs I have stopped working on their story because of just how scared I am that there’s something wrong with what I want to say. It’s sad to watch it kneecap my beliefs and vision. I was scared that I would be doing anime wrong, so I never tried to step in that space

If I hadn’t hesitated for five+ years , maybe I wouldn’t be struggling the way I am right now. I’m finally dipping my toe in anime, but it feels too late, like I’ve wasted all those years storyboarding doing something I didn’t fully believe in

Turning my bsky into a yap zone. Got a very sweet DM from an amazing animator saying they were inspired by my work from back in the day! It made me very happy, but a little bit of me is sad cause I feel like I’ve been so held back by fear I never took the plunge to animate like this person has

Haha she’s just a character I made up for fun! I don’t have any plans for her, but I’m glad you like her!

Haha thanks Julia! I find drawing for myself and showing to select friends in priv to be very therapeutic so for now that might be the trajectory for a whole. But I would love to start posting regularly again like I did pre-pandemic!

I’m very glad to hear that! I’m not the best by any means, but it means a lot to know I can inspire someone on their artistic journey. I wish you happy drawing!

I’m glad to hear! My struggle right now is making myself feel good when I draw/post, as I’ve noticed bad habits coming out when I plan to post a drawing

Your ability to draw hot people and cute people effortlessly needs to be studied in a lab πŸ‘€

Oh man thanks Humphreys!! I’m learning to animate professionally on the side, so I think the stress of that got to me a bit. This really helps to hear!

to be entirely fair this is me trying to break into the 2D animation/anime game with an LO/genga side gig lol. There's some skillsets that are transferrable from boarding to it but it's largely all new to me hence the struggle. Wish I had tried to break in earlier!

Reaching almost 30 is realizing I no longer have the energy to do two jobs at once even though the urge to prove yourself is still there 😴
