About my art

Heyo!

You've probably noticed the shift in my style and content. Instead of one Rita after another it's been a bunch of different characters in a new style. I know she is why most of you followed me, so I felt like I owe an explanation.

I've been having a hell of a year; depression, anxiety, isolation due to working only nights, changes in my personality, etc. Luckily I befriended a bunch of cool people in the feral art community. They have helped me through bad times, but also given me art critique and pushed me to try new things. I'm having more fun with my art than I've had in years, and I don't even care if it's not as popular.

I'm not saying I'm going to stop drawing Rita, but the past years I only drew her because it felt easy and familiar, so she was kind of a comfort character. Trying new things has been refreshing.

Also I'm feeling guilt for ignoring people I used to chat with. It's not because I don't care, but I've never been the most social person. My life is kinda upside down and I'm in the midst of a lot of stuff, so there's still only so much of me that I can spare.

That's all. Peace!

I never knew who Rita was before seeing nsfw art of her on the internet. But I found you to draw pretty good art of her and on a regular basis, so I knew I would see more following you.

Then you created Nettle. She quickly became a lovable character to me. I think I even like her better than Rita. She's special and yours.

Please don't be afraid to draw her or any other character of your choice, familiar or not. Ultimately, it is your style that is the selling point to me.

It smells like the natural progression of art and the artist behind it :) I welcome any and all changes, and no--Rita isn't the only reason I watch you, I watch you because I simply adore your cute style--and witnessing the evolution if that style is always a joy for me. Keep doing what you're doing and what comes naturally to you, you don't owe any of us anything ^^

love to see artists try different styles! so many just find their comfort zone and double down, and their craft & expression rarely benefit from it
the thick-lined doodles and the watercolours in particular are very nice :)

its kind of a character arc—you found rita, now you get to find yourself. lol

While Rita is nice, you do have a nice style, no matter what character you're drawing.
No need to apologize. :)

No need to apologize, it's your art. Various characters > same character in my opinion.

Don't worry, take your time and it's okay that you have new characters. I like Rita, but I can still see another new character  I'm not very sociable either.

While I do notice some changes in the style and adding more variety, I don't see it as a bad thing. It's just changing cute stuff for somewhat different cute stuff, so it's definitely not a problem for me.

I do want to see you expand beyond Rita! But that's just me.

You know your viewers love your art and just want more of it. We'll beg for it. But I'm going to say something we don't like. Try to take more control at work. Make more money and spend less of your precious time there. Money doesn't = happiness is a lie. Go out and make more money and be healthier etc.

I will say I love your Rita art the best, but I'm also an artist and I think it's best to please yourself and always have a little bit of fun. Don't limit yourself too much. Just draw what you want to see. I'm not exactly a shining example as I have deleted much of my own art. But I am enjoying myself over here despite the world crumbling apart around us. All I can say is I love seeing your art, and there must be a great person behind that art. So all I can do is send love and thanks for all you do. 💖

And about the depression, anxiety, isolation. I have a little suggestion. Go see the wild robot if you haven't already. It's got all the feel good vibes. Brought me to tears. 🥰 Beautiful moments like this is what I live for.

I know I am late to the party, but your new stuff is wonderful! It is great to see you branching out, but all that matters is that you enjoy making it. If you someday decide you want to make non-cute things, I am sure those pieces will look great too.

Wanted to comment, as a fan for years and as someone that has been in the same general situation.
Night shifts and three-shifts are not good for us and I hope you can switch to something more relaxed, I ruined my health with nights shifts and constant, random shift changes at the hospital. Us finns tend to have a really old-fashioned way of looking at worker health and productivity >.<

Been loving your new stuff (Nettle is cute!) and the doodles are fun & relaxed. Honestly, if you are having fun then isn't that the most important part?
Your health and well-being always come first! ^ ^
