Honestly, Mood

Honestly, mood <3 I feel that on so many levels. It's the same with writing and art, I feel like. There is also that thing about creativity striking you at 1am and you need to decide if you want to sell your soul to the gods of caffeine tomorrow in order to bottle the lightning or just go to bed and let it pass... It's always a tough decision!

Just know you are not alone in this. I just recently had to vent with this:

Me: writes 200 words of analysis/thesis without spelling errors and good grammar within 2 minutes to prove someone wrong on the internet.

Also me: tries to sit down to write some compelling dialogue for the story that's been marinating in my brain for two months now.... 30 words in 3 hours.

*me angy*

Some nights you write 3,000 words and it's good. Nice, even.

Some nights you write 400 words, loathe ever single one, take two Tylenol and put yourself to bed at 9:30pm because fuck existence and the concept of literacy entirely.

And tomorrow you roll the dice again to see which type of day you get to have.

SO... I might literally be retarded

Turns out I booted that art out so fast, I forgot one of the signature details on Rosie.

While at it, I had a bit of fun with the colours, too....

LET'S FUCKING GOOOO!!!

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO!

SO.. This guy is apparently a Goetia it seems.

Looks like he either got reworked from Overlord to Goetia or the Goetia were intended to have some dealings with the Overlords 🤔

Apparently his name is "Vassago"

Thank you so much for the encouraging words! I'm super happy you're interested in the story!

I just kind-of get up in my own head about it. It really is hard to explain. If there is a stressful time in real life it sometimes sloshes over into the hobby for some reason. That kinda makes it so everything just seems bad and pointless, somehow.

I'm certainly trying to figure out cohesive narrative and story structure with what I am writing here. Safe to say, I have very little experience and I hope the end product will be someting enjoyable to read.

The premise is a bit nebulous on purpose, to be honest! It's a little wild (by Hells' standards) but I hope it will be something cool to read.

It's unfortunately not very fast writing 😂 I write analysis and theory much much faster because it's not interrupted by dialogue and stringing my thoughts together feels wildy different than having to channel throug a narrator or a character in a way that readers can actually follow! But I hope I'm getting there, slowly. I am very inexperienced.

Stuck on 2k, you say? Do you have any readables or finished stories? I'd love to read those!

Thanks again! And sorry if I'm coming off as mildly sad internet person nr.89433... I'm just kinda tripping over my own brain sometimes.

I hope you don't mind...

....me fishing for critique of any kind. Again.

The entire thing has reached 7500+ words with two chunks of 3000 continuous words and I am not even remotely done yet.

It's coming around, if slowly. By this point it is going to be a multi-chapter affair, which I am actually very excited about!

I've been in a bad headspace for a few days now. Sometimes I just feel like purging my google drive from any written word, uninstall Paintstorm Studio and delete every single project and finished art piece from my PC.

I don't know where that is coming from. I am wondering if anyone can relate. I don't do this professionally so I should have no skin in the game by any measure. Yet sometimes I go through it and think: This is the greatest thing since sliced bread. And other times I think: This is terrible, why does it even exist?

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Art with rain is and will always be my weak spot. I love this so much!
