Embracing Imperfection: Overcoming Perfectionism for Growth and Joy

🎧 Could perfectionism be holding you back? This week on Have a Cup of Johanny, I share my journey of overcoming perfectionism, tackling self-doubt, and embracing progress over flawlessness. Tune in and let’s learn to grow through imperfection. #Podcast

Could the relentless pursuit of perfection be holding you back from reaching your true potential? If you’ve ever found yourself paralyzed by procrastination, bogged down by self-doubt, or endlessly editing your work because it’s “not quite good enough,” then this one’s for you. In tomorrow’s episode of Have a Cup of Johanny, I’ll be diving deep into my journey of overcoming perfectionism—an…

teapot dragons!

in a way i like this design a lot. on the other hand i think the original teapot animal having a humanoid face is part of the charm; it is supposed to be uncanny. anyway, here be dragons, both available in my shop.

how do you write a liar?

How to Write Liars Believably

Language

The motive of every goal is the make the lie seem plausible while taking blame off the speaker, so liars will often project what they say to a third party: "Katie said that..."

Referring to third parties as "they" rather than he or she

In the case of a deliberate lie prepped beforehand, there will be an overuse of specific names (rather than pronouns) as the speaker tries to get the details right.

Overuse of non-committal words like "something may have happened"

Masking or obscuring facts like "to the best of my knowledge" and “it is extremely unlikely," etc.

Avoiding answers to specific, pressing questions

Voice

There's isn't a set tone/speed/style of speaking, but your character's speech patten will differ from his normal one.

People tend to speak faster when they're nervous and are not used to lying.

Body Language

Covering their mouth

Constantly touching their nose

fidgeting, squirming or breaking eye contact

turning away, blinking faster, or clutching a comfort object like a cushion as they speak

nostril flaring, rapid shallow breathing or slow deep breaths, lip biting, contracting, sitting on your hands, or drumming your fingers. 

Highly-trained liars have mastered the art of compensation by freezing their bodies and looking at you straight in the eye.

Trained liars can also be experts in the art of looking relaxed. They sit back, put their feet up on the table and hands behind their head.

For deliberate lies, the character may even carefully control his body language, as though his is actually putting on a show

The Four Types of Liars

Deceitful: those who lie to others about facts

2. Delusional: those who lie to themselves about facts

3. Duplicitious: those who lie to others about their values

Lying about values can be even more corrosive to relationships than lying about facts. 

4. Demoralized: those who lie to themselves about their values

Additional Notes

Genuine smiles or laughs are hard to fake

Exaggerations of words (that would normally not be emphasized) or exaggerated body language

Many savvy detectives ask suspects to tell the story in reverse or non-linear fashion to expose a lie. They often ask unexpected, or seemingly irrelevant questions to throw suspects off track.

"There's a reason it's called a ROUGH draft," I sigh, creating a keysmash with my forehead.

WIPs are still works in progress even if no progress has been made on them for a while.

Miguel is the plan guy in this triad (however useless it is with a chaos incarnate in it) and he'll make sure of it one bad fashion statement at a time.

I LOVE that part of editing that requires me to act it all out and see if it's actually how two humans would interact

From quick character design, to working on the final character idea:

This is a screenshot of 2 weeks ago after finishing the sketch and working on the fine line art. This obviously is going to take me forever to color because I want to take my time on Little Moon of the East Sun Empire Yuuri's robes and the cover of the book. BUT thought it would be amazing to show the evolution from idea to *almost* fully fleshed concept. ✨

And of course had to put them side by side to check if my style was being consistent:

One of my biggest goals right now is to have a consistent style, so had to do this sometimes while I was cleaning my sketch. AAAAND because my aim is that it’s a shared character poster so young Tsesarevich Viktor is looking down and Little Prince Yuuri is looking up — this to illustrate when they first meet 💖🔥🥹

My next post about this process will be maybe on the robes fabrics and if I brave myself to experiment on the textures of the silk. (😭 send good vibes)

Quick character concept design for little Prince Yuuri, Moon of the East Sun Empire - for my SwanPrincess!AU 🦢👑 #YuriOnIce

Will do more and of course quick sketches for Prince Vitya that would be 11 when they meet.

Beginner

Advanced

Self-taught one work-in-progress at a time so that there’s some beginner stuff I don’t know and advanced stuff that I do know and I will forever be making silly beginner mistakes in complex projects that I’ll probably never complete :)
