More of Finch from February 2021
a thing that annoys me a lot nowadays is the way the average person unceasingly consumes art in the vast ocean of information that is internet - especially young people.
most treat art as it is some kind of disposable and throwaway thing that serves ephemeral delights and put no effort into understanding it; it’s all about aesthetics and catchy visuals with no real depth or actual meaning.most of us nowadays don’t care who put effort into art - we don’t care who’s the person that manages to evoke and transmit all these feelings. it’s just an endless need to be aesthetic, beautiful and in-tune with modern standards consuming pictures like we consume our food and all the materials that we need to make ourselves “happy” but in the internet it comes for free; we don’t even have to try.
makes me think the way we praise and give so much credit to older artists like picaso, warhol or dali after so many years but give no respect or visibility to modern artists that struggle to be relevant and the least succesful, in an institution that has done almost everything and drained itself out of ideas and original concepts. “there is a deeply ethical appeal in the desire for a more inclusive representational landscape and certainly under-represented communities can be empowered by an enhanced visibility, the terms of this visibility can often enervate the putative power of these identities."

First Concept Art of Cirrus - March / May 2022
Later renamed to Ze'hir and become a completely different character cuz i changed his design too many times but the original still held potential.
A Child of Wind and Stars - May 2023
I am so glad that the word blorbos exists now. It’s so much more evocative and accurate than “comfort character”. Like, they’re different things. He doesn’t bring me comfort, he makes my hands itchy and I want to polish him with pledge. I want to put him in a Pringles tube and shake him. I want to brush his hair and put little shoes on him like a Bratz doll. That’s a blorbo.
The Rebirth - March 2023
This started as a vent art At this point in the campaign I was going through a depressive episode and what was supposed to be a turning point in my character's journey made things even worse and things didn't get better even after the story ended. So it was both a vent for me in my personal life and for him. He became a character through which I could explore my self image issues, but it kind of got ruined for me. ( However I was so attached to him at this point I found a different group and gave him a fresh start with a new name, and modified backstory. And so far it's going well. I didn’t want to end this rant on a negative note. )
