art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you

LODESTAR | wip intro

summary

When Lieve was young, they used to dream of visiting Earth. Now an adult, they know that is but a wish made by a foolish child. Now, they toil on the inner asteroid belt, alongside most of their peers.

They are one of the (un)lucky few to be employed by a company that seeks to use the newest in technology. When the LODESTAR A.I. unit 097 is embedded into their work gear, they first dismiss it as nothing more but a gimmick.

But the LODESTAR A.I. is the first of its kind to have somewhat of a true intelligence. It learns, and it grows, and it slowly becomes more human under Lieve's unwitting guidance. They find themselves becoming closer and closer with Lodestar-097, a piece of a hivemind turning into a unique individual.

A secret accidentally spills from its own code, leading the two to the inner solar system, to Earth, a home Lieve once thought they would never see. But what they discover there could be the ruin of all humanity.

no sales for 5 days..

oh my goodness that ryis preview is GORGEOUS!!! I know you get asked about your brushes all the time, so sorry to add to that, but are you using your usual brushes for that portrait? Just that bit looks fantastic!! (but so does the rest of your art honestly!!)

no worries! :D you're actually dead-on - i swapped to some looser brushes recently to help get my flow back!

the main two different brushes i'm using are from the "T-marker Wind Brush Set (Tマーカー風ブラシセット)" (clip studio ID: 1692034) AND a random square texture brush downloaded from this tweet.

i used the marker brush for the sketch, and then the square for most of the coloring/rendering!

It’s okay if you're already working on multiple WIPs and keep coming up with new ideas, you're still a writer.

It’s okay if you’ve been working on the same WIP for years, you're still a writer.

It’s okay if you write only fanfiction, you're still a writer.

It’s okay if you write only poetry, you're still a writer.

It’s okay if some days you don’t feel like writing, you're still a writer. Inspiration comes and goes in our lives like the seasons. Hold on tight when it comes, but when it fades, it’s okay to take a break. Rest. You’re doing the best you can.

Just don’t let the stories live only in your head. If writing brings you joy, that’s all that matters, you're still a writer.
