uhhh Maine go brr
@redvsbluesecretsanta for @faderiftss and @harbingersecho
Hey hey! So sorry for the delay, life caught me in a beartrap lol. Hope you enjoy the Maine art!🙏
More nonsensical thoughts below ->
I ended up drawing Maine, at the end of the day, i've been wanting to do something with them for a bit and thought this was the best time to do so. There was a lot of random brain thoughts that went into this, but I didnt really like how it turned out, therefore I'm probably going to do another rendition of my OG idea with biblically accurate horror Maine sometime later this year. (So I hope you dont mind another delayed gift ;D)
This was supposed to be some silly space god AU that devolved with the more thought I put into it, whoops 😅
In the end this was a blast to make, and was my first attempt at doing some traditional art that wasn't just graphite! What a great test of my abilities this peice was!

A bit of rant:
So weird that many people who were interested in my commissions would go with the 'I'll buy one when you open colored digital ones" but any time I ever open those I never got them sold.
I know colored it's more attractive, specially if it's digital, but ugh... Why people ignores pencil and black and white art so much?
It's because looks easier? Cheaper? Unfinished? I used to call my art 'sketch' too, because back in the days I wasn't giving the value it deserved it... That I deserved. So I stopped calling them that way and gosh it felt good.
Now I feel more confident and I can see other's art with more respect.
Even my art has improved in so many ways!!!! I'm so happy! Like LOOK!😭💕💕💕
There's something so beautiful about pencil art. It's so expressive and sensitive, the way the white of the sheet shows up under the black of the lines. The stain it leaves once you touch it. The play between white and gray values.
I wouldn't change it for anything.
But it feels like people is asking me to. And it's sad. Makes me deeply sad.
I don't feel comfortable with digital. I use it a lot, don't take me wrong, but I don't get the same genuine value that traditional art always gives me.
Anytime I do digital I feel I'm trying to be someone else.
With pencil I feel genuine. I feel free. It's something that comes right from the heart. Like writing a letter to someone you deeply love.
And that's what I want to keep doing. I want my art to focus on the pencil. Create my own way to express emotions.
I'd love to express more of how to appreciate pencil art, like from other artists, because well we're so little. But I think that'll be for another occasion.
