The Autumn View | WIP 2
Added 2024-11-18 19:36:38 +0000 UTCI started this picture not really knowing how to finish it, but hoped I'd figure it out within a week. If I worked on it for yet another week I think I could find my way to the finish, but I don't think I've got the passion to complete it.
My normal illustration process is very methodical and I'm deeply familiar with the steps necessary to bring something to a finish. With both this and the attempted Rauru piece from September, I tried a more "painterly" approach, squashing all those familiar stages of art into one long stage of rendering. It's good to experiment and practice elements of art you're unfamiliar with, but maybe not so good when people are paying you to create art on a consistent schedule.
Next time I decide to experiment, I'll try a less ambitious piece and take it easier on myself. I hope this one is far enough along that people can still find some enjoyment out of it.

Agreed!

2024-11-21 06:25:41 +0000 UTCI’m more than willing to invest in you doing exercises and experiments like this. It keeps you fresh as an artist, but doing something different also comes with risk, and I definitely understand the desire to test out something new on a more elaborate piece, because there’s a greater potential for payoff! And I find personally that doing something new can also require more energy than usual, so it makes sense that trying something new might be a bit less satisfying when testing it on a smaller piece. However, it’s probably not worth the extra stress and pressure. Some lessons we learn the hard way, and that’s both normal and good! I’m paying for the years of hard work you’ve spent developing your craft, and of course primarily for bringing to life the characters I come (pun intended) to know and love. There’s very little you could do to “mess up” in such a way that I’d become less interested in supporting you; it would be pretty much physically impossible as long as you keep going, and that includes taking time away from art if that’s what you need to do to care for yourself or others. You would have to be intentionally going out of your way to be a content creator no longer worth supporting, so I really don’t think that’s gonna happen ♥️

2024-11-19 02:51:22 +0000 UTCThere is something to making art on a schedule. And it is, as a patron, nice to see art come out on a regular basis, especially stuff that's generally a really good thing to see, solo illustrations or comics. I feel like maybe you're getting a little too hard on yourself, but also I wouldn't mind you continuing your experiments to refine your style in a different way. I hope you're able to, even though your ambition on this score didn't live up to what you see the results are
