mistformsquirrel

Same Gamma hehe <,<

Mistformsquirrel exists - but is rarely played. I should try though, I like the concept I came up with for her >.<;

Very cool piece LJ, you do such great work, and so FAST! <@.@>

Thanks all <~.~>; Sorry for getting all upset and silly and such <x.x> Bleh. Sometimes I just get moody, and something will hit me the wrong way and it'll have double or more the effect it normally would.

I definitely wanna finish that piece for you btw Tundy >.< sorry I'm being slow with it <;_;> I are sluggish unfortunately.

Anyways, thanks for all the kind words everyone. Hopefully I can shake this off and once again jump back into it <~.~>

Discouraging.

Bleh.

Honestly - today has actually been a good day in most senses <x.x> I mean, I woke up to kick-[censored] art, I'm starting to feel better after being sick, my best friend was, well herself, which is all I really need there. Lots of good stuff honestly.

But once again, I find myself questioning my art.

Or more specifically 'where' and 'who' I should share it with.

Sorry that this has turned into a sort of squirrely-emoblog <x.x> was never my intention honestly. But its just kind of where things have fallen that its the convenient place for me to hang my hat when I need to.

So anyways, once again I've been trying to show some of my art on Warseer. It went *days* without a blip. So I bumped it. Got one positive post - and that was enough to make me happy. Then I got another post asking about some writing I had said I was going to upload, but never did (I been sick is why I never got to it)

So I explained that, assumed "All is well".

Then I come back later, and while I didn't get bashed directly like I did last time...

I dunno, I'm once again feeling incredibly put off.

It frustrates me on a lot of levels.

On the one hand, I know I'm not a great artist. I try, I work my tail off; and I'm glad some people here are kind enough to think I do fair work. But I do acknowledge, most artists are quite a bit better than I; and I'm pretty OK with that over all.

I also realize that sometimes an aspect of style simply doesn't appeal to everyone. Perfectly cool with me. I never expected every single person in the universe to like the kind of stuff I put out. Heck, I barely expect anyone to, usually I'm pleasantly surprised.

So I understand quite well that I'm not going to get a lot of compliments for a number of reasons. People here are kind in that regard; and thats one of the reasons I'm so happy to be here.

On the other hand, I find lately that I get A LOT of flak for my style. I know, generic anime is pretty over done; and I am trying to develop my own 'feel' to things. I'm still learning though, and if I ever succeed, it's going to be a long hard road yet ahead of me.

But I do get annoyed when I see endless complaints about my style, when people know full well what I'm going to put out; and more specifically, when people feel the need to go so far as to sort of look down their noses at me over it.

Yes, I am not a great sophisticated artiste. No, I will never be a Da Vinci, a Michelangelo or a Rembrandt; and I don't pretend I ever will be.

But why then is it necessary to not only voice disapproval for a style, but also practically attempt to shame the individual in question into giving up?

And thats where I am right now.

I've been here a million times of course. Its doubtful I'll ever give up. Drawing, for better or worse (probably worse), is in my veins. I can't stop, even if I wanted to. And truth be told, I don't want to.

But due to my limited abilities, this creates a problem; as people are so used to be wowed by the awe-inspiring, that there's little room for the mediocre. (And this isn't to say I don't aspire beyond the mediocre - hardly; I have grand ideas and enormous dreams; but I also know where my skill level is right now; and that I may, even probably, cannot achieve them.)

So the conundrum is simple I guess. I keep posting my Warhammer stuff here, which is pretty far afield and I'm sure is slightly annoying to some (and as it should be, its far off topic); or I keep plugging away at the Warhammer site as well, hoping to eventually turn people toward a degree of lukewarm neutrality at least instead of the current near-hostility I'm feeling.

Option 3 of course is to find a brand new place to post it; but to be fair, the last time I asked about that, I just couldn't get 'in' to the vibe of any other place <x.x> I dunno, maybe I'm just too picky.

Anyway, sorry for the ramble. I just needed to get this off my fuzzy chest <x.x>; and this is the place I felt safest dumping it. Sorry.

<.< there is certainly no bumping going on here!

>.> None at all.

No the squirrel isn't so incredibly happy with this piece he feels the need to momentarily steal the top spot in the forum, in hopes that even more people can see Sciuridae's awesomeness.

<.< I'm just taking a walk. Me and my 300 characters. >.> Through the Art forum.


Yah that's it.

Always cool stuff LJ <^_^>

I think the villain groups need more female models.

Although I imagine it would take about two weeks after they implemented it before some women's advocate group started protesting COH for promoting violence against women

[/ QUOTE ]

Wha?

There are already several female models that you fight villain side. No one has complained about it at all, and in fact I've heard alot more calls for "MOAR!".

You're artistically pwning my face. >.< That's a good thing.

Overall very nice!

I do have *ONE* teeeeeensy quibble - but its very small; and could even be explained by something to do with the suit.

But her ribs are a bit thick. It almost seems like she's wearing a vest under the spandex >.< (Which if she is, that'd explain it perfectly and I'm sorry for even bringing it up! <,&lt

Otherwise though - fantastic piece. Love your color choices!

Well anyone who knows where "Pregnant Tarantula Mistress/Sister Psyche" comes from will know what I'm talking about <,< if anyone remembers that thread of disturbing funniness.

I don't think there are any females in the Tsoo organization so they had to assign some to be the women :P
