gotta confess something

(read the article for it all, its a long one and contains serious topics and health mentions, so beware!)


gotta confess something

a few months ago I was planning on quitting art altogether, not because of the GenAI thing but because my arising health problems, lack of energies from it to draw many of the things I used to draw before plus lack of focus made me feel like I didn't have much to really give out at all, what was the point of trying anymore if I'd never reach where I was at before?

I didn't want to leave in a bad note though so I opted to redesign Anubi one last time, which at first wasn't taken well but I wanted to do a silly send-off to what I had been doing the past few years, in a more simpler art style that was easier to draw for me due to the stuff mentioned above

Yet, as I kept drawing this design you all know by now, I started to feel more free in what I could do, gone were the days where I kept trying to draw things to appease a general public, instead I just drew lil' comics of whatever I wanted to talk about at the moment, I could do a joke panel and it'd still be pretty happy with the results rather than despise it for going too far art-style wise, I even made a comic of 12 panels talking about the freaking 67 meme of all things, which before I wouldn't have even dared to

Where I'm trying to get at is that I truly started to feel like the works I do are for myself too, not just for everyone but me, and that's something I hadn't experienced in a long while now, the support I've received with them has been a big motivator too, people usually only saw or maybe liked what I posted and that's it, but now there are lots of comments in them, and as an artist, to have a piece that motivates someone to leave a comment on it is something you never really see on usual social medias, but it still means a lot whenever it happens. Even if I don't reply to most of them due to shyness just know I read and appreciate them all!

Now that 6 years has passed since I started doing Pixel Art, I wanna thank you everyone for the big support lately, it really means a lot to try something new and have people being there sending their appreciation for it, validating this step in the journey

ever since I started posting the comics, I've noticed a growing audience of spanish peeps, so to make it more easier to share things with them, I've decided to make alts for this side :O!

while waiting for art ideas to come, I've been playing a bit of minecraft again, I love building stuff in this game which I felt why it was fitting to share this here (ignore my very old minecraft skin from another era haha)
