I hope you don't mind reading because I wrote way more than I probably should lol.

I started creating original characters since 2016, and many of them have been forgotten. Many of the texts and stories I wrote for them between 2016 and 2019 are lost now, and I just remember a few of them...

Cleber and Clebinha are the oldest OCs I have, and they are the ones at stuck around for almost 10 years now, and that is kinda crazy.

Was only in 2020 that I started drawing, that I started trying to learn to draw, and as you can see, I still have a lot to learn. the strangest thing for me about all these drawings is that when I look at them, I can't even believe that I drew them, even though I know it was me, and the reason I'm always surprised by this every time I look back at the stuff I made is because I can't visualize my own stories and characters in my mind.

Like, I know there's something called aphantasia, and sometimes I wonder if I have it or not because I can visualize some things in my mind, but they're just really vague, nothing more than some very blurry colors and shapes, and sometimes even less than that.

So I only know how one of my characters should look like after I done a few drawings of them and think its good enough. I'm like a witch that have no idea what the potions she made will do before trying them. Backgrounds are literally hell for me to draw and write about, because I really have difficulty imagining what a place would look like. For example, the first three images from this post have the backgrounds made from royalty-free photos I found on the internet. I just edited them until they fit the style of my drawings. I do most backgrounds this way because it's easier and allows me to visualize the story and see where things happen. I also draw some backgrounds from time to time, but I'm never satisfied with them.

Anyway, I should probably stop yapping now, this has gotten too long. I just wanted to share a little more about myself and my art since I almost never have the chance to do so, and also because I wanted to motivate myself to share more of my art in the future.

~Thanks for reading!
