Throwback thursday to when I was like 12 and I was putting out new writing DAILY…… Like entire Chapters of my then-current wips just, over an afternoon. What the fuck was I on
Nobody:
Me, age 12, just started drinking coffee:
I drew 14 pictures during the day, and wrote 32 pages a night. Now I can’t do shit.
A huge part of this is because you’ve gotten better! And now, when you’re drawing/writing/doing whatever creative task, you’re not just mindlessly throwing thoughts at your paper, you’re thinking as you do it. Children can churn out a lot more work because it’s not yet refined, but when you’re older and have more practice, you work with all these thoughts running through your head about form and shape, color palettes or word choice. Now, you’re making a dozen decisions with every moment of work, and you’re also questioning the decisions you’ve just made, wondering if you can do it better. Don’t beat yourself up about producing less work now than you did back then, because every sentence or shape involves a lot more effort for you now, than it did when you were ten and brand new to this hobby.
Also you have a job now and the never-ending bullshit that is laundry and dishes and feeding yourself.
Hello guys! I have 5 slots of square portraits open! They are due late July to early August, would super super appreciate all reblogs!
hello!
please get a commission on my ko-fi here- you can order a sa guest, no account is needed! payment is taken through PayPal! please note I do not draw portraits of real people!
I need a bit of extra money because my cat peed on my laptop and broke its keyboard, usb ports and track pad, and I have not been able to work for two days due to it :-:
please please, am so grateful to any help I get. Also I have a tipping jar on my same ko-fi..!! thank you so much!!
another update as of July 15, 9 am in the morning (philippine time, 12 hours ahead of america) my laptop is officially toast. I am in desperate need of another to buy a new laptop that can handle paint tool Sai and csp, I’m already 5 days late for work. I’m flabbergasted, I have no idea what to do. I opened 7 more slots of commissions, but please please only take the slot if you don’t mind waiting. I am guessing I can deliver them by mid August, but im humbly asking for folk who won’t mind giving me a grace period of two weeks after mid August. Full disclosure I absolutely can not do rush commissions- I am clinically ocd and I take a lot of care drawing for people; Sorry this post is a bit frantic, I genuinely feel hopeless rn, and I truly just want to get back to work as soon as i possibly can. I appreciate every donation, commission, reblog or a kind words. Thank you for reading this far.
On the one hand, Wario’s employees account for something like 85% of the female characters with recurring speaking roles across the entire Super Mario franchise, but on the other hand, he’s canonically violating multiple child labour laws and once stuffed a preteen girl into a cannon and shot her into the sea, so it’s tough to say how much credit he really deserves for his equal opportunity hiring practices.
