#I should be doing artfight attacks rn

[midnighthybrid1]

So I may have a favorite lad

Surfer dude has my heart 👊😔

In all seriousness tho, I just wanted to do fanart for this lad I didn’t mean to turn it into a fully colored comic-

BUT HERE WE ARE

I actually rly like how this turned out? I gave it a slight paper texture overlay and I like how that looked.

Samir Surfsup belongs to @thelone-copper ! Y’all should go check’em out, their art is very very tight 👊😎

I based Wally and Home’s appearances off of this post by PartyCoffin, it’s so peaceful and cute.

Samir gives me the vibes that even if he’s surprised by something he just rly easily vibes with it? Like, for instance, there could be a giant sentient house on the beach and he’s just like ‘Yo thats tight’ and then move on. Or he forgets to put sunscreen literally everywhere but his nose and his reaction after getting severely burnt is just ‘Woah bummer, dude’ and then he goes and does the same thing cause he Ain’t Bothered™️

I could be very wrong about that but that’s just what I imagine when I see him 😅 gives me Effortlessly Cool Vibes pretty much

Full Page Ver. Under the cut! (W/Paper Texture and W/Out Paper Texture)

I’m still learning how to do comics, so little random stuff like this is a fun exercise. I may draw more fanart of this lad, we shall see-

Hope ya like the art and have an awesome day!

Likes and Reblogs are appreciated! PLEASE DO NOT REPOST MY WORK!

Every time you post about artfight I'm reminded it's coming up and I get so hyped it's literally the highlight of my year! Can't wait to attack ya

hell yeah!!! i'm so hyped too!!! half of my time rn is spent going on and on to my irl art friends about why they should do it lol

[iamfabiloz]

are you doing artfight this year?

nah, I’m too drained this year to muster any energy for attacking ppl n stuff 🫡 the past two years I participated got so busy with attacks I didn’t rlly have any time for myself n self indulgent Art so I decided to hang back this time, even Tho the teams so cool I’m devastated can’t be on one 🥺 my art fight profile is IAMFABILOZ, (I think the site is down rn tho, but it should work later maybe) btw if u wanna look at my past stuff ig or follow me for next year :3

What the f*ck Have I been doing all July?

Usually I just repost random things i find cool or funny but sometimes Ill post original things. so whats up? Artfight was whats up. I got hyperfocused on it and then burnt myself out. That being said because i couldnt manage drawing and posting the art i am now posting my attacks, probably about 5 at a time because im sure no one want to scroll that far (as of rn i have like 45 attacks)

Owners of the ocs have been tagged for credit also because theyre cool and you should check them out :)

Attacks in total: 5

@ raijintos | Thier wonderful oc Vittoria who was my second attack of artfight this year : )

[honeyrisuke]

ok no turns out what im mad about and posted about earlier wasnt a big deep "modern media bad bluh" thing, im just. not feeling so hot rn

very long boring ramble below

I've struggled with my art ever since I started to put it online

like, I'd always refresh and check if someone saw it and then get all exciting when someone did see it and like it and so on but not even once have I had some art I did actually,,, do anything for me. it was never _worth it_ if that makes sense.

I'd sit there for hours upon hours and then post it in hopes someone else enjoys it and seemingly nobody ever does. I can spend days on a drawing and it barely even reaches my friends, and in old media at least I still had one or the other random

even right now on Furaffinity, which also isnt algorythmically sorted, I occationally get people who just like all of my stuff in a quite sincere way, or comment on my art in a genuine way- and that's why I've recently enjoyed drawing furry fetish art a lot more than anything else, even when I didn't wanna draw furries that day.

but on shit like instagram or twitter or even on here I've. I rarely even get one interaction?? on my art?? I've never gotten a comment. I've never had someone share my art on twitter or instagram because they liked it

and when I did get faves or comments it was always either an IRL friend of mine who'd like a selfie of me taking a shit bc they don't care, as long as I posted it, or someone I don't know who just wants to promote their own account

I've blocked people in the past who left a nice comment on instagram, and when i replied to thank them they immediately went for "would you mind checking out my page"

bc yea i do mind shut tf up

its. fundamentally uncomfortable to be in those positions. I don't wanna go around using other people as stepping stones to get anywhere. I don't wanna go around and put up this big professional influencer facade just so I can draw my lame fucking characters and have maybe 10 people like it

and no, I'm not talking huge numbers and wanting fame or whatever, just. something. anything.

I've grown to really really hate art communities, and that means whenever I sit down and want to draw I have to first fight a big "but what for?"

and most of the time recently? I lose that fight. I can't think of a "what for", and then I sit there for several hours slowly thinking myself into a rage instead of doing anything productive, because actually I'm also very upset about not drawing, but I can't think of a good reason to do it

and to anyone who says "just do it for yourself"- you know you're lying. I've never met an artist who said that shit to my face and didn't have at least one person they could share their art with

I'd just be out here sending it to random ass people knowing damn well I'm annoying.

art is worthless if it can't be shared with anyone. I really picked the worst fucking hobby as a child. I hate everything I do and I hate doing it

I was hoping to rekindle my muse with artfight but as for right now, it looks like I'm not even gonna get a single attack, and each time I sit down to draw I'm building my hope up again that "this time they will respond and draw something back to" just to sit here on the 31st with maybe one really crappy doodle made by someone who just wanted to get free art from me. and if I'm as stupid as I've been all these years, I'll even have given them that free piece of art.

I'm just. I don't know where to go from here and. not to be even more of a downer at the end of this, in case anyone actually did read it, but

I've. not felt so hot about being around anymore recently, and fundamentally feeling like I should stop doing at alltogether is a big part of that. I've always done art one way or another, and so far nobody has ever given a shit about it. I have genuinly no idea why I've done it for so long. but i feel like if i stop then I am doing absolutely nothing anymore. i wouldnt be expressing myself anymore, i wouldnt put anything out there anymore. id just be here locked inside of my head unable to communicate the things im passionate about because i KNOW im annoying, i KNOW im unbearable and overly aggressive and genuinly unlikeable, and i know nobody gives a shit about the stuff i like or enjoy. i already stopped being excited about things bc of that years ago and am now only defaulting to be pissed and to complain and to make fun of things

and i feel that if i fully stop drawing and making art its. kinda over. idk i dont wanna write it out but that'd be it.

[gaia-is-here-now]

please dont try and push yourself for artfight, take all the time you need. you can always start a little later once youve had time to fully process everything

3 hours and a bagel should be enough, my brain is full of stuff rn so I'm not really thinking and if I turn music on things are better and I think doing art will do me some good and let me clear my mind

maybe I'll go look through the tags again and find more stuff to draw, I like looking at people's designs and I want to do better than last year (I only did 2 attacks last year and it's been eating at me)

[p0rk-guts]

In the lead as we SHOULD BE >:)))

I know I haven't been attacking a lot but I'm doing bake sale planning rn okay

anyways here's a fun little artfightsona i made for this year

Progress/alt vers. under the cut!

Find me on artfight!

lilstinky replied to your post “i should be drawing for artfight rn but i……………dont want to ❤️”

same i havent worked on one in like two weeks :(

RIGHT its such a bummer!!! i want to be drawing for it but ive also been drawing for it a lot and drawing again reminds me that i would also like to draw things for me, only to feel guilty when i do! and that feels goofy anyway bc there are so many cute character designs i would love to draw ;___; and i would love to just do doodles on paper, its fun and easy, but its also not how you earn points (not that that matters at all, in the grand scheme of things or for artfight bc team sugar is never in our lifetimes gonna catch up fhdsj) and it feels like a copout to do traditional instead of digital especially if you’ve got like, a consistent type of attack going on.......theres just like. so many dumb little things that eventually pile up in front of you and it gets to the point where youre like “i do not want to slog through this actually. i think today i will just Not” its FRUSTRATING
