Some of my old fanarts!

I remember posting this on my IG when I reached 100k followers there, time flies.

What advice would you give to a fellow artist who had lost creative and career direction? 🙂 I’ve experienced a tough year personally and I was wondering what steps you take to push through stressful times and also how you get back on track as a creative? 🙂

I receive this type of questions all the time and to be honest, I'm not sure either. I hope I know how too 😭 In the past few months or maybe more than half a year, I've been mentally drained and felt unsatisfied with every artwork that I produced, I just don't feel like drawing at one point. It's definitely not burnout because my freelance life is honestly quite relaxing, I get to choose what projects to take and arrange my schedule freely, I have lots of free time and probably only work like 2-3 days a week, my clients are all kind and nice to me, no stress at all. But somehow I felt empty inside, like something is draining away slowly.

When I had artblock in the past, I will watch some movies and shows that I like, read some books and do nothing for a few days and I will be fine after that. But this time is different, it's useless no matter what I do and it lasted for months, it's very frustrating and I just don't know what I should do.

I'm still finding ways to solve this, and I'm trying all kinds of things that I haven't tried before now - such as accept the invitation to do a public sharing at SGCC(which I will never consider in the past), learning a new music instrument, self publish an artbook, hired a personal trainer and start working out, and travel more. So instead of staying home and draw all the time, I'm trying to go out more and explore the things I haven't try before. I do feel a little bit better now and is able to draw passionately sometimes, but still far from what I used to be.

Or maybe being able to draw passionately sometimes is enough, I don't need to push myself too hard, right? Maybe it's because I keep seeing good art by other artists on social media all the time so I feel unproductive and guilty when I'm not producing art regularly. Maybe because I keep observing the world through a small hole so I'm unable to actually feel it and produce something that is sincere. Maybe I should learn how to live first before making art. Maybe I should take my time. There is nothing to heal but empty spaces to fill up. I'm still learning and I hope I find my answer soon.

I'm not sure if this answers your questions, maybe I have drifted too far away haha. Even if this doesn't help you, I hope I at least provided some sort of comfort. Everyone are different and has different paths to take in life, I hope you find your own answer soon.

The only one who is able to destroy the titans, is a demon.

One of my all time favorite novel by Priest, such a masterpiece but so underrated!!! Also, was super excited about the live action drama, Tan Jianci is perfect as Guyun😭 Just hope that all danmei/dangai dramas gets to air one day

I have just been visiting your blog...and your work is absolutely stunning!! I particularly love the way many of the poses are serene, as if the subject is looking inward...your linework is so balanced and relaxed too, so fluid. So just THANK YOU for sharing all of this goodness with us!!

AHH thank you so much, you're too sweet ❤️❤️❤️Really appreciate it!!

hellloooo all the rumours say that if c-ent continues to be mostly calm and have no big scandals (like the milk dumping, zzh, tax evasion) we might get hyx in Q1 or 2 next year. but c-ent doesnt stay calm for very long 😭

I don't believe in any rumors/melons anymore at this point, they always disappoint </3 I just hope that I get to see hyx before I die OTL

Hi, I'd really love to preorder your Muse artbook but I'm not getting paid until 25th :( Any chance for preorder time to be extended?

Thanks for your interest in MUSE! Although preorders are closed but it's still available for normal sales, just without the preorder benefits(eren polaroid cards). I will close the normal sales once it's all sold out 😊

I’m a big fan of live action dramas and I’m super sad that all the danmei/dangai dramas have been postponed to god knows when(or maybe don’t even get to air) 😔

My personal favorite 2ha fanart! This is an updated version, I’ve made some adjustments to their face.
