Description Now, I closed my eyes, plugged my ears, and began to walk. Your voice as well as your smile, they may be invisible but that's fine too.

Quoting lyrics from the song Astronauts by Powapowa-P because I can.
This line strangely haunts me. Dunno why.

I've recently noticed that I'm not an artist that you call "people's" artist.
You know-- that kind of artist who draw for the sake of uuum-- people?
Ack, I'm not good with words.

Let's just say maybe.. Just maybe.. I don't feel like doing commission/request because I simply don't want to from the beginning.
I did have those moments when I accepted requests, but overtime, I'm tired of it. I don't even feel tempted anymore even if I get points for doing commission.
I've tried finishing all the commissions/requests I owe to some people, but I was not satisfied with all the results. Let's just say I'm struggling with it. But don't worry, I'll finish them someday.
It's just that, I only enjoy drawing to the fullest when I draw for myself.

Yeah. I know.
Sorry for being so selfish, but that's me.

In all seriousness, I really love my watchers.
Wish I could speak more to you guys.. Am I really that unapproachable or what? Hahaha
I envy those people who are really close to their watchers.

Huehue I'm soooo emotional today.

amg that description. all my feels. I know EXACTLY how you feel.
that's why I couldn't neccessarily open requests or do commissions probably because I prefer to put out what I feel and draw at that moment. Somehow I also like artists like this because you put out more material of how you feel and whatnot.

For me art is simply putting out how I feel. I put every emotion and vibe into what I want to draw because I want it to be the best for me (and then share to the watchers).
I didn't know seriously awesome artists like you also feel very unapproachable as well. This makes me personally feel really stressed and it sometimes doesn't help me when my watchers don't give me "feeback"/comment on what I do. When they do they give me re-assurance that what I'm doing is good/bad and it just fuels me for when I want to draw.

Also, more about the picture now (lol), I feel I really like this piece not only because of the color or shading (etc.) but also because of the message you wrote yourself~

The linework is dodgy, but the piece embraces it. Excellent as always!

Hahaha, I know what you mean. It's not selfish, some people just want to draw what they want, and don't want to be bothered by interfering requests. |D
Yeah, I like to take requests once in a while, but most of the times it's nicer to do what you please~
It's a normal thing, yo. ^^/

And aaaaaaa oh gosh, we love you too, Sarah!
You're not unapproachable at all LOL, I find an intellectual like you really fun to talk to, actually. despite not being an intellectual myself, just look at how spazzy my comments are

So yeah, no worries, we're happy as long as you're happy. ^^

ANYWAY, this is a pretty nice piece to look at. A bit messier than your previous pieces, but still delicious regardless.
I've always liked this monochrome/blue-tinted color scheme of yours. Although I think it's getting a bit... overused? /:'D
oh fuck i have no place to say this, i'm clearly a beige/dark red obsessionist myself ;;
I really like the flowiness of her hair though! Especially with those contrasting white streaks over there.
It's a nice combination of everything here. Great job.

Hahah the selfish part is more about how I delay the commission/request because I'm just lazy

Eh. Wait. I'm intellectual. What the.

It's overused because this style is my current comfort zone nyehehe
Well, it's really obvious that my art style (specifically the coloring) is terribly inconsistent, and once in a while I always use a certain style more than the other
Gosh.. I really should stick to one style only

Woah this is beautiful!! Looks like something out of a Vocaloid video or something xD Is that a particular OC of yours? And honey I totally and completely understand what you're going with that. Sometimes when I take writing requests and that it feels like more work for me and takes time away from my own projects. I almost feel like I'm working for other people without getting anything in return. It's tough and sometimes I wish I don't take requests at all unless its from friends, not a random stranger popping up on my page. That's good you enjoy drawing to the fullest when you draw for yourself! That shows how good of an artist you are, you draw because you love it, not because you're trying to please someone. That my dear shows me just how wonderful of a person you are and how much you put into all your lovely artwork Keep that mindset about art dear, many artists need to learn that. I'll always support you~ sob sorry for the long ass paragraph comment Dx
