@Kent: there is so much in CSP, i still haven't figured it all out.
Yesss! i need to eventually learn to tackle painting clouds as i really want to learn to paint those the most.

Yeah a lot of my art is quite boring if i don't paint it as my brain does not know how to shade simply,
but painting it will try and go all out for lol.
Thank you! I hope so. been working super hard to just improve my work.

LOL. one is a good choice.

@Kent: there are tons of resources for csp. Its a super wonderful program.
painting very much is time consuming, but it's also very rewarding. that feeling i get when i figure something out keeps me wanting to paint more

I did a mix of looking at refs and watching tutorials. but a lot of my knowledge has been in my head since 2018-2019 just never put into practice due to self doubt.
i tend to be constantly analyzing and studying faces like where the highlights go, where shadows are etc. makeup tutorials helped a lot.

i might only do the two and hope i can finish them lolol

@Kent: CSP is a life savor. Tho i use krita sometimes because
i like how the brushes work in it to paint as with CSP i haven't really found a brush i enjoy painting with.

mostly struggling to finish them because painting is very new for me
and i do not even know how to tackle hair yet lol.
I mostly just know how to paint faces and skin for the most part.
but i definitely want to paint them.

I have a few other pieces in the works that plan to be painted as well.
Actually they are my mermay pieces from last year but are mostly incomplete.

So it's been a while since I role-played or even wrote anything. At least since 2017-2018
since my ex kinda ruined it for me and i just got burned very badly with writing and quit overall.
I kind of want to repair my relationship with writing as in the future I plan to make my own webcomic and eventually
would like to return to writing the few stories I have online.

I'm wanting to do only 1 x 1 Roleplays. You do not have to be advanced writer, but at least be semi-literate.
I can write anywhere from 2-6 paragraphs but it all depends on what I am given as well as how well I am feeling.
Some days i'm feeling very inspired.
And other days i can be totally burnt out on stress or burnt out from art.
So i don't really want restrictions on writing amount.
I also do not want someone expecting me to post multiple times per day every day. As my RL life is very high on stress
so some days I just do not have it in me and other days I have art deadlines to meet.
So please be understanding of that.

I am mostly looking for someone who likes fantasy romance stories probably m x f
as I am also trying to figure out what kind of characters
My OCs are like so I can draw and write about them better.

If my characters are disinteresting, I can also write canon stuff. Genshin Impact is a big one for me.
I am also very big on Lore. And usually do not mind sad or dark lore either.
But i can also do wholesome light-hearted writing as well.

@Wildfire: i once kept a good schedule for 9 months.
a record for me. but it only took one day for it to escalate and it went all down hill from there. :vanora_sweat:
and now i can't even get to bed earlier than 6am lol.
and i have a revenge sleep schedule as i feel i don't get enough me time during the day as during the day i have to do
responsible stuff lol.

tho with adhd it's very common for that and very common to only be productive at night.

@Wildfire: unfortunately with my undiagnosed ADHD, regulating just is impossible for me.
Like i can change my sleep schedule, do everything i can, and if i slip up on ONE day it completely falls apart.
i hate it sometimes because i really want to be organized, and want to be able to dedicate more time in the morning to my
art but it feels impossbile lolol

@Wildfire: Routines usually do not work for me.
I am unable to regulate proper routines with anything. :vanora_sweat:

@koneko: kinda just feel like i am stuck in one place
and never have time for it.

i've mostly just only had time to do chibis. but i am not even good at them.
so it's been a struggle to be productive.
i need to do study paintings but they take a lot of time and energy.
so maybe i can just split them over a couple of days to weeks.

@koneko: yeah generally all of us can eat potatoes. but my sister's diet really puts a monkey wrench in things
just because there is a long list of what she can't eat right now until
we take her to the doctor's and figure out what's going on as she can't even eat anything that has fiber in it.
so her meals mostly are bland and all of us have some sort of dietary or food sensory issues.

yeah its been very difficult. just feel like i should almost quit because im lacking the energy, and the time to even do what i want.
and when i do have time for myself im too exhausted. it's been extremely discouraging because art is my whole life.
without it i feel i am nothing.

@Totalanimefan: most of the things my sister does make
just aren't up to my taste. so eventually i'll have to figure something out lol.
we have a cook book as it was my mother's she used very often but i don't really know
if there are any recipes in it that we actually eat or can eat.

tho my dad did say there is a cook book for our air fryer so maybe i'll either invest in that
or a cookbook from tasty.

@Shark: Yup. I draw her the most.
My second most drawn is two vampire gals. who are my mascots both.

It's probably to prevent random bots from easily signing up.
so i don't think it's too bad. keeps things botless and less spammy.

premium isn't actually that much. for a year it's $24. and i've seen more expensive premium things for a lot more.
but i don't have use for premium since all i do is bump my commission thread
and edit my characters profiles.
