Ink Demon C

Little text about my thoughts recently regarding art..

May I be honest for a second?
I very often find myself being tired of SFM recently or I start making something just to delete it afterwards, because it's not how I imagined it to be. Like, I love story writing so much and I have so many ideas, but like.. I would much rather draw them.. though, I can't really draw and it always ends up with me being depressed, crying and keeping everything I have in mind to myself.. It's hard to explain tbh.
It feels like I very often just can't express myself, if that makes any sense?
Idk, I feel so limited with what I can do and can't do and no, I don't mean that as in "SFM is so limited, ew, switch to Blender mimimimi" (lol).

It's not even about Splatoon anymore really, I just love my characters so much.
I could even imagine making them humans sometimes, but even if I wanted to, I just can't.
Ngl, I feel so trapped with a lot of things in my life and that surely adds to it as well.
I can't ever be happy with whatever I draw and no matter what anyone tells me or for how many years I've tried, I just can't seem to improve or change my mindset on these things.
I hate myself so much right now and am at the point of being too afraid to even try..

I get stuck like that sometimes too, but sometimes you just gotta think like a kid. I watched a video on why kids don't get block, and it's because they love creating for the sake of creating! Sometimes I get caught up in a loop too, so I just make the most random story that pleases me and call it a masterpiece. :) I wish you the best of luck!! ❤️

Sounds like you need to take a break, and then try a new medium, comics, writing, different software, different characters and story you came up with from scratch, you won't be able to improve much as an artist if you keep doing the same thing over and over with no change, so take care, and mix things up, you got this.

It could be burnout. Which I can definitely relate too. Drawing - in itself - is such a journey. But it just feels so fun to try and bring ideas to life. Animation takes time so definitely don't force yourself. Writing is actually a lot of fun. It at least gets ideas down for you to revisit at some point. Heck, I literally will just jot something in notes or in a discord channel. Especially when it comes to my ocs. Sometimes often what you write can help the visual creativity. Normally if I can help it, I just fixate on one oc. One I would dote on like it's Tomodachi Life lol. One with a compelling backstory or some time of complexity to ponder. Keeps the ideas going or sometimes help escape reality. Drawing practice will take time though. I'm still practicing. Maybe the 3D models can help. Nothing wrong with using them to guide you. Or even a scene. Why not, eh? But first things first; not pushing yourself. Pace yourself if it is burnout. Try different perspectives. Or any motivations as you go. Switching up helps. Or sometimes look at past works. You'll find the spark again. Okay I'm done lol

Well, Mate. I feel that you are having a burnout. Just like my creator. Also, It's best that you should take a break mate. 🙁

I feel like you’re suffering from burnout. It happens and that’s why it’s important to take breaks and expand your horizons. If you feel like you are limited then maybe you need to experiment and take liberties and stop expecting perfection because that’s detrimental to your health. I know how you feel and we’re here for you. 🫂
