Slowly moving over from twt I post art sometimes :) Dedeku Deku | Sargatanas Bell Pepper | Leviathan https://dekusprout.tumblr.com/

I've been grappling a lot with this recently. Sharing any kind of creative work requires a certain level of vulnerability. It's putting a piece of yourself out there for others to judge, so criticism feels personal. Gotta remind myself to focus on the process and be okay with making bad art lol

I think something that doesn't get discussed enough when it comes to writing (as a hobby, as an occupation) is that you need to get really good at handling rejection sensitivity, even more so than with visual arts.

Art direction really is the key! Realism itself isnt the issue. The problem is prioritizing graphical fidelity over good design choices. Games get more expensive, take longer to make, and are more difficult to run, but dont necessarily look that much better and will age much worse.

I feel like hyper realistic graphics in games is like, the lazy way to do art direction. Back in the day it was like okay we have these system limitations, let's come up with a unique art style within them. Now it's like resources are infinite but idk whatever just make it super realistic I guess.

so 'Ryland Grace' was free on my home server, so of course I nabbed it and it conjured a wildly specific mental image so behold: the crossover maybe no one asked for but I enjoyed doodling immensely
