yess… done with Makoto. now just need two more to do. ;w;
a preview of some of our pin-back buttons. The majority of these are Hetalia.
We’re excited!!!!!
we did a ton of buttons and we also plan to have some new designs. Avi and I worked on making these all day and we still have more to do. lol
You’re right. And I think it’s just stress getting to me, what with the con coming up this weekend and how we’re not even sure it’s gonna work out.
I’m sorry for troubling you guys… because you’re really all I have so you guys mean a lot. And.. idk. I wish I was better at controlling that feeling of despair I get from stupid things like note counts and whether or not a piece of art gets views/faves on dA.
I really would like to do art for myself. Art on things that I love. I want to be passionate for art.
That kind of thing I’ve had trouble with lately. I just need to start to get into the habit of sketching and working even if I don’t feel like it. even if it’s a doodle… and to also not care if anyone online likes it or not.
That kind of thing is my goal. I’d love to just be able to not care and do art for fun. Sooo… I hope somehow I can do this.
I’m sorry for posting things like this.
I’m really glad that you guys care and I’m really lucky that you guys notice me and care about my feelings.
Thank you.
We’re all pretty stressed over con. I honestly gave myself rather lofty goals, which was silly of me, since I was overestimating how quickly I could draw given the late start I had. I have a bad habit of getting way too ahead of myself in just about all aspects. I feel bad for putting a lot of work on your shoulders this close to con, too. I have a desire to do all the things, but not the time. As much as I wish I could bang out an entire cast from whatever like some people can, I have to remember that I’m not at that level yet.
I think we should work on things all the time, and not just wait until con is looming over our shoulders in order to light a fire under our butts. It’s more efficient for all of us in the long run. So, I’m going to continue drawing after con, and I hope you do too. I’ll even send you prompts if you like, and I’d be happy to take some from you, too. Anything to keep us going, right?
It’s okay. I think it would be good to keep working on art in our free time.
I think you’re really good at drawing, considering you just started doing it very recently!
OMG, I don’t feel so well. I feel like i’m burning up, my head is in pain along with a sore throat but that may be from earlier when i screamed and i rarely scream(it hurts my throat). I just feel hot all over my face.
I hope you feel better soon. Poor dear. ;A;
I feel often like no one gives a shit about what I draw except for my close friends. So I kinda wonder if there’s a specific reason or what.
Idek why I have a little bit of followers. IDGI…….
I’ll stop bitching now… I just seriously think that no one likes my art except like my room mates who like it ‘cause they’re nice and all.
I’m pretty sure this is going to get ignored anyway by everyone
I don’t just like your artwork because I’m nice. I like it because I think it’s good. I’m jealous of the work that you do. And it’s part of why I moved down here, because I know we’re both talented and if we could only just focus we’d do some amazing things, because we both work well together.
I know this is just something you’re fighting on with yourself, but I wish my opinion mattered. At least more than just “nice friend”.
I believe in you.
I really kinda feel like I should just stop posting art online sometimes because it depresses me so much the majority of the time.
It’s like I want to post it and share it with people, but no one cares anyway, you know? So I start to feel like it must be because I’m bad at art.
Idk. I think lots of people say you do cute art.
it’s weird. I can go to con and people will tell me that they like my art and I’ll feel good about it for like that day, but I’ll go right back to hating my abilities and my drawings right after that.
I wish I didn’t care whether or not people liked my art.
thank you for caring about me.
Hey, for what it’s worth, had it not been for both you and Jamie’s influence, I probably wouldn’t even be drawing right now. I’m not particularly confidant in my art either, especially at this stage, so I’m not expecting much if any feedback on my art. But, I’m not going to let that stop me from trying, because I want to progress. If not for anyone else, for myself at the very least. Because if I don’t keep at it, I can’t expect to go forward. I also really enjoy working with you guys, and I really want to pursue more projects in the future.
I really wouldn’t use Tumblr (or even dA) as a gauge for your artistic skill. Things have an odd way of becoming popular. Sure, there’s great artists that have the good fortune of getting noticed and gaining followers. But that doesn’t happen to everyone, good artist or not. And sometimes a piece of art doesn’t have to be super amazing, and it’ll still get notes up the butt just because it’s funny or what-have-you. There’s a lot of things at play, and I think popularity on any site is pretty much luck-based. Which is why I don’t see it as a good way to measure the worth of your art. All you can really do is draw for yourself and if something of yours catches on, then that’s great. But I wouldn’t become dependent on it for some sort of validation. I would hope that the satisfaction one gets from completing a piece of art, and acknowledgement from friends to some extent, would be all the validation you would need.
Art should be something the creator loves and would continue to create no matter who’s looking or not looking. Because when all is said and done, art comes from the creator, not the people on the outside.
You’re right. And I think it’s just stress getting to me, what with the con coming up this weekend and how we’re not even sure it’s gonna work out.

jazzdragon said: Aww, I like your art. Don’t beat yourself up. :(
Sorry. I just get really pissed at myself for the lack of notes I get because I assume no one cares about whatever I work on. I seriously end up thinking I shouldn’t even bother to do art because sometimes I do art for myself and to please others. And if no one else likes it, then maybe I should just stop doing it. Or maybe people not liking my art means it isn’t very good.
It’s like they’re telling me that I shouldn’t even bother because it isn’t worth noticing.
Sometimes I get a little happy that I can make art, but then I realize no one likes it and realize that it’s crap and not worth anyone’s attention.
I have next to no self-esteem so I assume it’s the same way with the art I produce.
