Exhausted but my mind won’t stop running. I just want to be an artist you know? I wanna thrive from my career. I want people to come play in my world. I really wanna feel like what I do has value. I feel like it should.


There is undoubtedly some sort of analogy to be made here. Some sort of shitty “the darker the night the brighter the stars.” quote. Or maybe “it gets darker before it gets brighter. Light at the end of the tunnel.” I don’t know. There’s so much that words fail to capture.


I wasn’t entirely sure if I should have posted back in the forums, so I will tomorrow, but my greatest gratitude to the community here and the drawing tablet giveaway. Some kind soul out there donated and in return I was granted a new tablet. It means the world and I regret ever leaving this place for as long as I did.


Anyone out there, in the void. Hello. Your world matters too.

To everyone escaping from Twitter and Deviantart, welcome. My name is Bonnie and I'm in the middle of creating a bird dating simulator. Tell me who you are and what you do.

Have had a hard time of it lately and so I’m opening up my commissions. Anyone out there who sees this and is interested let me know. Serious inquiries only. I do not create work for ai generation or nft sales. I can draw about anything though I struggle with vehicles, and heavy city scapes. I take payment through PayPal though I offer payment plans through Patreon as well.


thanks for the consideration. iu_781674_4238848.pngiu_781673_4238848.pngiu_781675_4238848.png

Kinda in the title. I got procreate and I’m looking to do some animation practice since I haven’t in the last decade. Is there a particular file type that I can export it as to upload from my tablet? Also what seems to be the program of choice for animation right now? My last stint was with toon boom. Many thanks to those with a pulse out there.

From last time. Thanks for those hanging around. It's always so amazing to see this site still active.

I want to be a more active member because I love the community, but I've been so busy, that computer time is rarely on my agenda.

 

Actually my computer had finally crapped itself, and so I was without one for six months; which had its good and bad merits.  Bad because I was without digital art for so long and it just about nearly killed me. Good because I had to create art regardless of my lack of technology; so I went back to making traditional mediums. I fumbled around mostly with wateroclors and inks. The traditional process has taught me a lot about my current state of being with art.

First off, I understood what it was that digital art programs like photoshop and sai were trying to replicate; and understanding the traditional aspect let me understand how to use the digital tools more effectively.

Second I found a better style. Or more like my own style. I was happy with how my art came out (sometimes) but really was having an identity crisis. I knew what people liked and expected. I knew how to mimic other styles; but I never really allowed myself the freedom of just making something because I wanted to make it or because it was fun. After staying away from the computer, I was able to realize what types of art I found really inspiring; rather than jonesing after artists who were substantially better than myself.

 

I'm still not quite happy with where I'm at currently with my style. But its closer to something I'm proud to call mine. Once I get into a better habit of just making without thinking too much, I think I'll be on a better road.

 

For those who watch me, read my journals or comment on my art. Thanks. I'm sorry I'm not around more often to engadge you in conversation; but I hope to change that. And you all know who you are.

 

Lets keep the fires lit.

Still working on my phoenix project; and despite the fact that my time is ticking down, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner, I started picking up another project. Though I still plan on having that illustration done for Thanksgiving.

Game design has been on the front of my mind lately. I've always thought about game concepts and ideas, but just wait it out until someone else does it. As of late however, I've gotten tired of sitting around, waiting for my ideas to come out onto an RPG. So I decided to try making my own.

I think the experience will be good for me, and will give me a better appreciation of the kind of work that goes into creating a cohesive game.
