@Lilykin: For real.
Also really disrespectful for others' religions.
Like pushing my grandmother to do something on her birthday
after knowing for many years my grandmother doesn't celebrate it.

But maybe I'll just do non-demon arts for at least a while.
though I'm so bad at ideas.
I should finish some of my old projects. :vanora_sweat:

@MoodyBats: Do what makes you most comfortable. Maybe something mythology based or cryptids/monsters would be a good compromise?

@MoodyBats: Oh yikes, that strict huh? You may have mentioned it but what religion do they follow? Cause if it's like Christianity angels have some pretty wild and fun descriptions

@Lilykin: Jehovah witness.
Very strict on pretty much everything. :vanora_sweat:

I don't even know if they'll see my work ever but better
pump out normal human arts just in case.

@MoodyBats: Oh, yeah, big yikes. That's not an easy situation to be in. Maybe you could have a decoy site in case they ask? Just make sure it's art unique to that site so they can't reverse image search to another site.

When I still cared what my family thought I would post my sfw stuff on FB. But I had a cousin reverse image search me to my definitely nsfw tumblr. She's cool, but I learned my lesson lol

@Lilykin: I posted one of my works for fb.
So maybe I'll just put all of my modest cutest stuff through fb
so my family sees but just keep my twitter and Instagram under wraps.

Cause it's mostly grandma and dad in the religion anyway.

Like i usually didn't care what i drew but now i feel I have to be more careful.
as I still live with my dad and idk. i guess it just adds so much guilt and pressure.

@MoodyBats: It gets so much better when you move out. I wish I could help everyone that needed it move out. If nothing else this is good chance to brush up on your technical skills. Do some life studies, follow some free anatomy lessons, etc.

@Lilykin: Yeah. I can't wait to move out.
for one thing, i don't even have my own room.
My own room would be so great honestly.

Yeah, I'm planning to do a lot of studies.
Like 1 month full of hands.

If anything i can just draw cute girls in beautiful gowns.
i do need to work on folds regardless lol.

@Lilykin: Coloring is my hardest obstacle to achieve.
i really need to learn to paint clothes and such.

@MoodyBats: I'm terrible about coloring, usually by the time I've finished the lineart I'm done with it lol

@Lilykin: Yeah same tbh.
Though slowly getting better at it.
Lineart is mainly what I'm good at, and enjoy doing lol.


@Addy: I'm trying to dedicate my studies a lot more consistently.
My fave artist gave me the tip on her stream.
Next month will also be a new body part. Probably torsos or legs.
Hands i am the weakest at so they have to come first.

I've got 0 determination lol.
but idk what else i would do so i just draw.

@Lilykin: Not really. Just having critiques for this place
gave me severe anxiety.

Maybe in the future when I'm better at socializing for a long period of time.

@MoodyBats: That's cool. I like challenges more than contests for that reason. Less pressure to do well and to just have fun engaging with other people. Less a chance of someone getting their feelings hurt cause they didn't win. (I may or may not still be bitter of over some gaia art contests lmao)

@Lilykin: Whenever I do games I usually give things
for just participating.

Bu idk what I'd even do for contests.
so contests may or may not happen.
I just put it there for reserving the post. I still have to come up with a lot of things for this thread and organizing it.
This is the first thread that's ever had more than 1 poster so it's a bit taxing on me mentally as I am not used to it.

@MoodyBats: That's a good strategy. The main goal here (I'm assuming) is just to get folks involved. On another website we had a challenge thread were we all joined a site to learn coding. It was really fun following each others progress and offer encouragement/help when needed

And social interaction takes practice (sooo much practice). It'll come easier after awhile and there's nothing wrong with taking breaks
