HouseReich

Redesigned Belarus. Again.

I love drawing him 😭

Things have been really hectic lately, between college (My roommate is gonna be AWESOME, I can’t wait to meet her!) and marching band auditions. That, and the fact I don’t think k can draw around my mom anymore.

She supports me. Just, not with this project. Unconditional doesn’t mean unconditional with what I draw, apparently! She says I should work on my “own creations”. I don’t think she understands that Housereich is my own creation.

No artist starts from scratch in the beginning. They all start from inspiration.

And it’s not like I don’t have my own things to draw every now and then. I’m not completely reliant on this project. I have different things I’m doing (hopefully getting on Tumblr soon, too), I just don’t have a storyline that sits right just yet.

All of this, plus the self doubt, comparison, and criticism I give myself, I’ve just lost motivation. This doesn’t mean any of this is finished, no! It just means i’ve not been drawing as much. I’ve basically just been writing facts and backstories about the Housereich crew.

I might post character sheets soon.

Besides that, there’s really nothing else to say.

I’d anyone is in a situation like this, just know your art is amazing, no matter how bad or out of shape you think it looks. Don’t let anyone tell you what you can and cannot draw or create. As long as you aren’t directly stealing, anything is valid and welcome. Art is an escape, a past time, a hobby, and a passion.

You may not have others’ support, but you’ll always have mine, and hopefully everyone else’s here, too.

Thank you for making the world amazing with your art, no matter how weird, angsty, or colorful it is.
