It was so awesome to work with @goozieart on this!

This is something I tell people all the time. You gotta put things in your life in perspective.

The “If you’re not drawing 24/7 you aren’t working hard enough.” mentality is garbage.

When I was in college there was this ongoing competitive mindset from the teachers /students that: “If you’re not drawing all night / getting 1 - 2 hours of sleep, you’re going to fall behind.” If you’re an artist you’ve probably met this kind of thinking… I’ve heard it from so many pros / tutorials.

One of my professors said that line all the time. I loved this dude. he worked at Disney on many of my favorite movies, and my young self became absorbed in this mindset. About 3 years into my degree that professor had a stroke, and when he went to the doctor they said he actually previously had something like 10+ strokes without even knowing, brought on by stress, and that he needed to slow down. 

Since then I’ve heard tons of other accounts of sickness and divorce brought on from addiction to work.

A few years later I was listening to an Animation podcast interviewing Glen Keane. He brought up that there were other animators who would live and breathe their work, never going home, barely sleeping, etc. 

What shocked me was that Glen Keane said something like “I ignored this idea, and decided to go home every night to spend time with my family, because I could learn just as much from my life experiences with them.” 

Anyway I just wanted to take a second after hearing a statement like this again recently and let any young artists out there know that:

There’s nothing wrong with investing plenty of time studying and drawing, but also be healthy. 

Cell-shaded style version of my girl Poppy. Ready to smash some space bugs and Space barbarians.

Ahhh....I love it so much. Thanks Temix. I'm glad we could help.

I literally can’t find words to thank you guys.

I wish I had the capacity to do thank you art for all of you. If I wasn’t such a mess I’d have done something with more of your avatars included.

I really just… can’t… say thank you enough.

@goozieart @darkartskai @bbc-chan @crimsonkarma (I can’t even find your tag right now christ but thank you) and everyone else who I don’t even Know your tags andsfkljgadf

This came out so damn gooooood. Thanks much, Dure!

Coooool! We are both doing Riv as a commission!!!!

Yeah! I saw what you had started and was wondering if it was Riv. Nice job so far.

Mooore Poppy! Thanks much for this hot pic, Dure!

A pic I did for @goozieart of his girl Poppy, the character they’ve been playing on my sci fi ttrpg campaign :3, seen here wearing a friend’s jersey… and nothing else >,>

Fun little Art Jam I participated in. Everyone did such a kickass job. 

LOOK AT THIS KICK ASS ART (part 1)!

So a bunch of us scribblers do month jams staring someone’s OC. My Zohara was voted in as tribute for August and here are the results!

Top to bottom: @mentalward6ix @eymbeeart @goozieart and my contribution. Next post with the other half will have the spicier (Read: NSFW) works!

My biggest frigg’n “THANK YOU” I can send to these awesome artists for showing my Zo some love. I’m honored they let me chill with them and draw cool spiky ladies and such together. Cheers, mates!

A little late for Halloween, but...Here’s Silca, all dressed up with nobody to play with.
