Hi. I don't know if you'll see this comment or remember me, but you drew 2 fan arts of my OCs maaany years ago (one of a furry character and one of a troll), if that rings any bells.
I wanted to say thank you. I never expressed this, but they really meant a lot to me (and still do).
I don't draw as much as I'd like to these days because even the thought of sharing my feelings and whatnot is paralyzing. The people that live on this world are spooky, the unpredictable algorithms that draw said people in and the drawbacks of digitalisation even more so. Despite these things and the thoughts they cause, I haven't given up on art and life because the ugly-coloured mass that is "the collection of everything 'life'" contains some rather intriguing variables... as well as ones that won't be cruel to you when coming to face with your lack of skill and knowledge.
What I mean to say is- as shitty and meaningless as life is, there's still some good to try to stick around for. The aforementioned fan arts are what ultimately lead me to this conclusion, as they gave me the strength to keep trying to improve at art despite the fears.
I hope you're doing well and that life is treating you with kindness. Best of luck in the future
