  1. I got a new OC the other day, but I have yet to name her! I don’t have any ideas, do you? Also, some ideas for a backstory would be nice! 

     

    I personally think she looks like a Penelope, but I’m horrible at names, help!

      Thanks guys! Penelope it is! I wanted to aim for something kind of Asian-inspired, but I couldn’t really think of anything.

      I'm probably way too late but what about Mei or Meili? 

      Or Yumiko if you were thinking more japanese than Chinese? :bhee:

      Oooo, I like Yumiko! I’ve been reading way too much manga. Lol. 

  2. Post Partum Depression has hit me so hard, and the worst part of it has been letting go of my passions (mainly art). It's also hard to stick with my art when I am constantly comparing my work to other artists'. That being said, if I don't practice, I'll never get better. Here's to hoping that I can put all the negative thoughts behind me and get back to doing what I love.

      I was actually thinking about making a Highmountain Tauren or a Nightborne since I just unlocked them recently. The primary reason why I don't play Horde as much is because I don't know anyone that does, lol. I'd love to play with you guys sometime! Let me know!

  5. I think I'm just gonna give up on art.

    1. Baah

      Baah

      I dont think you should! I see great potential in your art--especially in the last status update you did.

       

      It always seems like the answer is to give up whenever you're not producing what you like. I think it's always best to just pause on what you're doing that isnt turning out how you want and try something new or something for yourself. Its kind of crazy how many unfinished pieces I have.

       

      What haven't you practiced doing yet? What are some characters that you really like that you could do fan art of and have fun with? Different angles are also very challenging but opens up new ideas and skills. Find your inspiration, your styles, try different brushes and colors. What inspires you? For me, Pinterest is the best place to see a bunch of different aspects and styles that helps me form an idea of what I want to do and where I want to go with my art. 

       

      Art is definitely a journey and, as I'm sure many artists will agree with me on this, a struggle. We are all here for eachother as well, so reaching out for help and guidance is always supported in this community (from my history of becoming an artist I do have to thank many artists and close friends who have helped me so much).

       

      You can do it.  ❤

      Thank you for the encouraging words. I just bought a new tablet recently, a display, and I guess it's kind of taken a toll on my self esteem seeing how the quality of my art kind of dwindled. Without a display I feel like my art was sort of looking how I wanted it to, but I guess with the mixture of the new equipment and hiatus I just kind of went back to square one. I get a mental image of what I want to draw, what colors I want to use, but it never really translates to my canvas, which is also kind of disheartening. 

       

      A lot of my problem is, is when I'm drawing (I use Krita, not sure if it matters) I don't know how to use the software to get like, less flat or saturated color. I'm not really sure how to use it to where I can make things more life like, and less stark color if that makes any sense. I just want to get back to my old art, I'm not happy with the content I've created so far with this new tablet, even if I do say I am. I just want to draw like me again. :bcri:

  9. How/Where do you guys get inspiration for new OCs? I’m seriously addicted to creating characters and I’d like to know where to start when it comes to getting the creative juices flowing. :aww:

    1. food

      food

      omg tbh I can't create characters for my life. I always buyyyy

      but what inspires me to buy is anything Asian themed, or anything that is unique, and not really going off of a regular aesthetic look. I have a wide interest in things, from kawaii to gothic. i also like when characters have pets or a companion! I would try to look for unique outfit ideas, you can even browse other character ideas as long as you just don't completely steal ideas!

      Looking at patterns, too, may also be a good inspiration starter!

  10. I’m not an Ariana Grande fan by ANY means, but “God is a Woman” is a BOP. :ipayday: 

  11. World of Warcraft players: Can we just take a moment to talk about Sylvanas’ Warbringers cinematic? :d8:
