#like pieces that take months to complete

There aways seems to be certain characters that give me the burning urge to make large heavily symbolic and motif laden complex art pieces for that will only really matter to me

Steel wool is so cruel for making us just leave her there without even a proper goodbye

[Image Description: Two unfinished digital paintings / sketches of the hatchling and Hal from outer wilds. they are standing with their arms around each other and the hatchling has their head leaning on hal's shoulder as hal watches the supernova in the distance through the doorway of the museum. the first image is the scene viewed from behind with everything lit in bright blue with dark shadows. the second image shows hal's face looking in fear towards the light and is only partially colored, the rest sketched over a gray background. End Image Description.]

You said you're editing the official op translation to fix some things. Absolutely love that you're doing that! The viz translation has a lot of issues after all. Is there any way to access your fixed version?

Yep! You can find this at @the-zoro-project along with several logs on general edits that were made

At the moment skypiea is going through a revision, but it's just about finished!

living room gallery wall is coming along!

I don't know who needs to hear this but... You don't need to finish that WIP. not everything you create has to be a Work In Progress. you can just sketch something or write out a draft and then never go any farther than that. you don't have to finish everything you create. not everything is meant to be finished.

also, starting a new WIP when you have another isn't bad. it doesn't stop you from going back to the old one. sometimes you get excited for an idea, sometimes you just need to get that idea down. Do it. start another WIP. nothing is stopping you from going back to the old one later.

the only one putting these barriers up is yourself. Stop holding yourself back. You'll find yourself a lot happier if you stop forcing yourself to follow these invisible rules on what you can and should be focusing on finishing.

Wish I could tell my readers that having two very distinct genres clashing in one story is both a major narrative tool and vital foreshadowing in the context of metafiction.

And I can! In about 30k more words.

it’s an absolute crime that I have to practice things regularly to stay good at them. thinking about that post that went “I am not god so why should I have to fight entropy”

Hey, no harp this weekend, but I’ll be streaming again over on twitch the following Saturday (25 March) around 3 pm est (7 pm gmt)!

As previously, very chill—I’ve been having fun doing this, and I hope you have, too!

Dorimu Headshot Drawing

So, I made a Headshot Image for my Digimon/Warioware Crossover character I made for his Toyhouse page. I hadn't drawn this character since a year ago and since I am back on my WarioWare fixation, I thought I should draw him again! I probably put waaaay too much effort on what's essentially a simple profile pic for an OC but I kinda like what I made. I don't have too much gripes about this.. So, I thought all you kind people of the internet will enjoy!

everyone should attempt an artisan craft at some point in their life because it would cut down the number of comments questioning why handmade goods like ceramics or textile craft or woodworking are so expensive

and this is an unrealistic expectation, but I think the attempt should include seeing through to the end at least one "finished" item, no matter how clumsy or lumpy your first attempts might be. like to me, there's a huge difference in perspective between attempting to learn how to crochet or throw a pot for a few days, acknowledging that it's harder than it looks and giving up, versus committing to finishing that scarf or clay pot you started and working on it for weeks while you painstakingly learn from your mistakes and grow attached to your project while also simultaneously hating it.

once you finish the latter, your perspective changes from "why does this crocheted blanket cost $200" to "holy shit I can't believe they're charging $200 for this crocheted blanket instead of $2000" because you may have known crocheting is hard, you may have easily agreed with the idea that "handmade goods take time and effort" even before attempting a craft, but now you know firsthand the absolute time sink it takes to make things. like yeah dude, that one item took you 2 months to make and probably wasn't even an ultra complex item if it was the first thing you made, now imagine attaching an hourly wage to that time to calculate the cost (and this is ignoring every nuance of the artistic element and master crafters being able to work faster/charge higher because of their years and years of experience)

anyway this rant has been motivated by a comment I saw on someone else's ceramic post asking why a mug was $60 and they understand it's handmade but $60 just seems overpriced, and bro do you know how long ceramics take to make. that mug probably took at minimum 3 weeks between how long it takes to throw the mug, dry partially, trim the mug, dry fully, bisque fire, wait a day for the kiln to cool, sand and paint and glaze, glaze fire, wait a day for the kiln to cool, take product photography of the mug, write description and list the mug online for sale, im not even including the skill needed to complete all these steps without the mug literally exploding or collapsing while also making it an appealing piece of art, aaaaaaaaaaaaa
