Not super satisfied. Might be in a creative low. Been a lot to adjust to my new job. Might find my voice not too far off in the future again.

But I shared a vote and like everyone got a vote each so guess I just made them in the order I saw the comments.

Idk, in my head, I think I pictured this a little bit more colorful but when it came to coloring and shading, I didn’t really know where I was going with it and just tried to save myself. Just forgot for a minute how I used to add light so that was a journey.

But yeah… something about being somebody’s light in the dark. Go and try that. And I will try not to drop the apples all over the floor today.

I work in a grocery store now. Yay.

Part of me being a weird kid. Not only did I watch Hammond Spider-Man, at the time of the release of The Dark Knight with Chrisitan Bale and Heath Ledger, I was head over heels for Adam West… When I saw Affleck being an absolute force of nature, I said to myself… he’s cool but he’s not West. Even when I saw Pattinson, my personal favorite (live action) Batman-film, I said… Damn, it was almost as good as West.

Alright, kidding. I don’t remember ever comparing Affleck to West but West was my first love and my only love. My idea, understanding of the character and interest in Batman all grew out of watching Adam West and Burt Ward gliding down poles, running around with bombs and decode the most complicated of riddles, all while still informing the importance of good grammar.

Miss you, West.

I didn’t feel very good in high school. Or life. Childhood. At all. There was a lot of negativity. I didn’t feel I belonged in my family and friends who I thought were ride or die had all just abandoned me as our class swished schools to fit in with the new popular kids and that meant, not to get seen talking to me. Any time someone in my class spoke to me were either to speak down to me or just hit my head into a wall. And well, I lived at a child care I guess is the closest translation so it's easy to feel abandoned by your relatives and you tell yourself your place there isn’t more than an income for your carers.

I felt useless. Absolutely 150% worthless. Waste of space and oxygen. If you think you can imagine that, you can’t. You have to experience it and not everyone makes it out of that journey alive. I kinda just dragged my lifeless body throughout childhood, telling myself “just one more day”, trying to find something to live for. Marvel-releases were kind of small milestones to strive for but lacked any real meaning, so now you know why I draw so much Marvel.

I didn’t talk much to my new class in high school as well, my friends I have known since kindergarten didn’t value me more than popularity, why would this new class?

So strangely enough, I find myself in a group chat with some other selected classmates one night and have to leave the conversation because of a sudden anxiety attack where, to my surprise, I get a notification.

One of the other classmates had noticed I stopped talking and reached out privately, asking how I was doing. And in my entire “emo-phase”, nobody had ever asked me that before. Not really, not in a meaningful serious way other than the usual polite “it’s been so long, how are you, enough about that…”

That was the first real step into this random girl who I expected would leave my life after graduation becoming one of the most important people in my life and holding my hand in this new journey into the light at the end of the tunnel.

Tiny moment after moment, inviting me for milkshakes, sleepovers, watching Good Omens, bonding over horror films, this girl made me feel like I was more than a waste of space, that maybe I… could matter?

And from feeling absolutely nothing, that I mattered nothing, less than so, to just… be invited to stuff. That was huge. It’s indescribably huge.

I am now 22 and can seriously say that I’m much older than I ever expected to be and I am grateful for that every good and bad day.

All because of that single message that one night. That first step on a ladder she probably didn’t know I needed to climb.

Thank you.

Reach out to someone, you never know who might be needing it.

How Crimes of Grindelwald should have ended

What is this? Me doing fan-art of something other than the first Life is Strange?? The… third? Fourth? How do you count them? It’s not Max, that I can say.

My sister has been letting me play True Colors on her PS and I enjoyed it. Finished the first chapter today. I will forever miss Gabe.

I will try to draw more related to True Colors as I keep on playing but because I play when I visit my sister, my gaming-sessions will be shorter and further between so who knows when the next time will be that I get an idea for this game.

Do you have any advice on making art in Photoshop?

If you're drawing characters, this site here is your best friend: https://app.justsketch.me/

Lock layers whenever you're done on it, harder to draw on the wrong one without having to unlock them first

(Also save back-up-layers if you're planning to change something in case it doesn't end up as you want, heck, save back-up-files if you have a real crazy idea that can either make or break your day)

Use the Navigator found in the Windows-tap, allows you to still see the whole canvas while zoomed in

Explore, mess with the settings. Press every button you can find under Filter, there's a lot of fun stuff to use there.

Be patient, let the project take the time it needs, can be hours, can be days.

If you're new to drawing digitally, I'm okay with you tracing. Just to help you land in your new artstyle and tools. As long as you pay attention to what you're tracing and can learn from it.

Were they ever really that different?
