💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other creators to do the same 💕

(this got terribly ramble-y. apologies.)

Ah, this is difficult. Putting self-deprecation aside, I've accomplished a lot in the past year that's been significant improvement for me in terms of visual art. I guess that I really like the Valentine's art? Which is good since due to a series of mishaps it wound up framed next to my desk (realized I had no safe storage for it that wouldn't smudge it to hell and back) so it would be very sad if I wound up hating it.

I really loved the Crystalhue art I never finished as well. The sketch was really cute and it had the most complex composition of any large scene I'd done at the time (and probably since).

And it's silly, but I did really enjoy the letter I wrote back to you. I always struggle with Balthazar's voice. It was a helpful exercise even if it turned out messy. I'm sorry for not continuing the chain better. But thank you for the opportunity despite my unsociability. Lately I've been doing other art that I really liked too, so I'm surrounded by cute expressions right now. There's a beautiful smile to my left and some terrible (affectionate) smirks to right. Hopefully I can finish things in a reasonable time this week to share :) It's been a long while since I last did sequential art, so I'm always excited even when it's simple.

Ah, and recently there was a lot of really good art with Vio (@mountainashfae's character, as always), so that's lovely. This was messy (and color made it messier) but I still like it because 1) it's cute and 2) I challenged myself a lot to try things I always wanted to draw but avoided because I just thought I couldn't do them well. Well, the omnipresent mistake hiding eraser speaks to the imperfection, but I'm still happy.

I'm seldom satisfied with what I make, but I try to see it as a good thing. I'm always growing, perhaps. My therapist thinks it's like living with a curse though. ^^;;

#now everyone prayer circle that I can finish writing without hating it I want what happened to my art to happen to my writing #digging up the crystalhue sketches I scrolled past a lot of other art on my phone I really like #the portraits I spent silly time trying to learn to do the frames for and fun art of other people's characters and tristian covered in bloo #the balthazar portrait I made because I was scared I didn't have enough to show answering a tag meme #but then really liked a lot. I put so much love into that and the carmen match #silly little nonbinary flag tristian #messy marker tests and attempts at kissing #and I guess maybe it hasn't been such a bad year to create in after all. even if I'm serious about the writing thing.#I always feel bad about what I make but slowly I'm developing skills. I have a steadier hand and better eye for shapes than I used to.#there's better motion even if my work still isn't clean and there's color even if it's a mess #sometimes I have this strange realization that it might be possible to consider me an artist #and I'm never sure how to process that #ask me emithing #silversiren1101 #emi art #I guess? since there is technically new stuff
