What's Neyon Hartz's backstory? Also, your art is awesome! :D
Thank you!! :D
Neyon was built by someone who was essentially building robots illegally. And though they had good intent, what they were doing drew concern to the people of Cynodome (a bustling futuristic city under a glass dome in the middle of a barren wasteland).
But Neyon was built specifically to be loved. The little heart on his chest? It's like a little glass vessel that fills with "love". It's literally his heart. And without love, he would not be able to function. It's like his blood.
Anywho, he was very loved by his creator until one day, they were taken away from him and killed. Neyon was now alone, and he knew if there was no one to love him, he would basically die.
So, to get revenge for his creator being taken away from him, he manages to take over Cynodome, forcing the people to love him. And it works. Why? Because he was able to hold the empress of Cynodome hostage and threatened to kill her if he didn't get his way. So her and her people give in (mostly because they didn't know what Neyon was cable of and didn't want to risk it) and it only fuels him to the point where he just becomes a huge narcissistic asshole hungry with power.
Cynodome is completely overthrown by him. And many citizens even start to side with him, turning Cynodome into his own little empire. Rules are changed. Everything is chaotic. And Neyon loves every second of it.
..And all of this happens just because he simply wanted to be loved :')
I hope all of this made sense XD! And thanks for the question!!
the entire point of life is to be silly, kind, and really weird btw.
there’s always gonna be someone better than you. try to work less on comparing yourself to their work and instead learning from them and turning envy into a personal challenge for your own stuff. i know its hard, trust me.
the best way to get better at art is to practice. there is no special trick to improving, no secret method. practice makes perfect is a tired old saying that im sure you dont want to hear but unfortunately, its true.
draw as much as you are able to. i wont say draw every day!!! because i know that there are folks that dont have this sort of luxury, whether it be because of physical or mental restrictions, or simply because they dont have time. draw whenever you can and have the strength to. try not to be too upset if you miss a day or a week or even months. shit happens, do the best you are able to.
if you get bored or stuck, try another way. change mediums if you can, flip the canvas, do something weird that you wouldnt normally do. sometimes this is the best way to un-stick yourself from art block.
dont be afraid to ask for help. this is so important! its ok to ask for assistance from other artists you admire (given that they have time to give pointers.) even if asking for help is straight up asking for a redline of your work, its ok to ask for it. improvement doesnt come without outside assistance, more often than not.
references are 100% a legitimate resource. i’m not really sure where the idea came from that real artists dont use references, but its not true. every renaissance painter used references in the form of in-house models. disney artists use references of animals and people to correctly model and then correctly exaggerate their designs. you cant learn to draw the world around you without actually studying it. use references, even if its just google searching.
your art is not an island. you will pick up styles from other people like tape picks up pet hair. its inevitable, and its not something that should be seen as a negative. artists inspire other artists. use your discretion, and study what you like about another artist’s work. every artist’s style is a mashup of a hundred other artists. its ok, experiment.
youre not going to make masterpieces all the time. youre gonna suck more often than not. but youre putting effort into something you enjoy and in the process you are getting better, slowly but surely. you arent going to see your stuff improve overnight, be patient.
please be kind to yourself. you are making a unique form of artistic expression, regardless whether you see it that way or not. youre doing fine, please keep going and pat yourself on the back for getting this far.
I wanted to draw the boy
