Looking Through My Old Artwork

these are just…too pretty not to share

this was just me trying to see what shade my mixture of paint was (I was using gouache)

and these were the halves of paper towels I put under my paper while painting

This is so real. I get stressed about seeing abhorrent grammar and spelling mistakes in writing, but I don’t obsess over getting it right like how I do with my writing.

Me reading another person's writing: Oh they missed a period there, no worries mistakes happen :) Three adjectives in a sentence? Adverbs for days? No worries I love descriptions and this story is fire.

Me seeing the same thing in my work: Wow am I illiterate? Am I actually ok? Who the actual fuck told me I can write so I can go and curse their entire family for the time it took for me to carefully craft this GARBAGE.

She looks like she’s judging people. Honestly? I don’t blame her.

have some pictures of Jade from Within These Woods...

Go check out my story!

This was the second drawing of Jade I did... it only took 8 hours and 35 minutes.

I... don't blame my younger self for putting shadows over Jade's face... faces are hard to draw.

This is the first drawing of Jade I did. It only took 5 hours and 25 minutes. Better than over 8 and a half hours, I guess...

…I only let the automatic spellcheck and grammar checking stuff help me with my writing. People are actually AI generating fics?

Do they not know the beauty of braindumping and sharing your unhinged writing ideas?

Personally, I only use my locally sourced, homegrown ideas that had been stewing in my mind for—at the very least—a few seconds (but sometimes up to a few years).

NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.
