Description This is... kind of strange and familiar? Like, I've been in this same situation but all the other way around? I probably should explain myself. Three years ago (more or less) Shadow was always clinging to me, and then Another too came to me unannounced. Then I got better for a while and then I kind of fell again and I've been rising and falling since that. For the past few months Another was the one that was always close to me, so much that I got used to its presence (which doesn't mean at all that I was okay with it, it just wasn't a surprising fact anymore, it didn't catch me off guard). And now, suddenly, Shadow decided to show itself up again apparently without a reason (apparently probably being the key-word here). So now I have to deal with this mess again.

So, all plans are "cancelled". Busy life and messy head are not a good combination. I should have submitted Aquarius (from the zodiac project) yesterday, but I have not even started the drawing and I don't know when I'll be able to do it. I don't know when I'll start working again on the Dugong-Story chibis either. I'll get there, I just don't know when and I refuse to force myself to work on my art unwillingly. Until then, I don't know what or how often I will submit stuff. I'll still be on DA (probably), but I might not be feeling that much social. Thanks for understanding

Anyway, have a chibi Aerin, a cold, smooth, whispering Shadow and a hot, sharp, screaming Another. (I'm actually happy that I had the energy to draw at all, the past few days have been rough).



Hope you like it!! ^^

"Flame spirit, set him on fire!"

"What!? NOOOO!! AAAAAAARRAAAAGH! BLERG!" *Shadowy mental illness demon dies forever*


If only it were that easy.

As someone who literally only discovered your artwork just a few minutes ago I wanna extent my support to your work regardless of what you might be thinking about it since mental demons like this ghostly shadow dude don't go away and always linger around to some extent.

But you're artwork from what I've glanced at has a lot of cool design elements that make it stick out among many others I've seen, and your points of inspiration are appealing and relatable given how you've demonstrated your own struggles with self doubt and that lethargy that keeps you from doing what you're passionate about.

I'm sure you're probably in a far better place mentally now (hopefully) but all the same, I wish you the best dude :3

Glad to entertain you :3


No problem man. I'm just happy I was able to find cool looking artwork with some really well inspired concepts. ^^ And so long as your day is brightened then its all good.


Yeah those moments when they break free sure as hell aren't fun, but I'm relieved that you're in a way better place in 2020 than where you were last year.

And remember if you fall again, make sure rise up and to sick your fiery spirit demon to eat that Shadow dude for dinner.

This makes me think of how mental illness is always looming over you, even if you are unaware of it, like a shadow. And how sometimes, it can get so big that there is nothing else to do but pay attention to it.

Ahhh I love this so much! This is honestly such a beautiful drawing, and so full of emotion. I know things have been rough for you lately, and I want you to know you can always talk to me, no matter how busy I am. And 100% don't force yourself to be social or to do art if you don't feel up to it! You have to take time and do what's best for you, and focus on your classes, and those of us who care about you understand and support that.

Aww, thank you so, so much for the kind words! You're such a wonderful person and I'm so glad to have you as my friend. I guess you know this already, but you can always count on me too <3 And thank you too for the compliments on the drawing, I'm glad you like it ^^

I'm sorry to hear that. And yeah, it will be okay, I just need some time for myself to figure out stuff.
