Hello my Dears, I disappeared from here for quite a while and also you could witness my art slop last year too. I know that my drawings were bad and I know that I missed out a loooot of time now.
The thing is: your state of mental health is visible in your art!
I had a bad period, my life went off the rails, and art became difficult. I had a lot of things going on from very personal things to my country became a russian puppet state or the scare of AI taking away my job (it was a very close call btw)
I did not see light at the end of the tunnel so fandoms became pointless. And when you don't interact with fans, fanart becomes pointless too. AI also made me feel uneasy about posting art on the internet too.
But after a bad 1,5 years now I feel a bit easier. There is a hope in my personal life, in my country's future, and I start to accept that AI is just here with us and we have to learn to deal with it.
I deleted ALL my classic social media, so no instagram, no twitter, no reddit, you can't find my work on any of those places. I only have tumblr which is maybe the least AI infected place but I KNOW about the AI thingy you have to switch off.
I picked up physical artforms, so I draw way more with pen and paper! I got into watercolor again, and I LOVE it! Maybe I will post some of my stuff here too.
I started knitting and crocheting! Yarnart is very good for my mental health because it's very repetitive work and at the end of the project you have a garment to wear! Making your own clothes is fun, also participating in slow fashion makes me feel better. So yeah, I am knitting dorky sweaters now, I dunno if you are interested, but here is one:
Maybe I will post more from these original stuff here too, because I really enjoy making them.
For anyone who is having a hard time, don’t forget that it will pass.
