iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

for now i kinda... paused my drawing activity (?) idk... im not sure lmao

its not that theres anything wrong with me, i think the way the industry works just doesnt fit me... but well i need to figure out a better way forward, i dont have the answer yet but ill get there 😞😞😞

working on weekly comics has changed how i see my art, it made me overlook the details i care about, shifted the meaning behind what i create and took away the value i hold dear, without that value i feel empty... like ive lost who i am

like... maybe rushing comic deadlines just isnt for me anymore, forcing it has only made things harder and its okay to admit that... i know i can do more bcs my ideas havent gone anywhere, but trying to keep up with the pressure has made me lose sight of what i care about in my work 😞

what my therapist said earlier really stuck with me: “youre an artist, not just someone who draws" i realized ive been treating those two things like theyre the same, but theyre not

i wish my mind would just work like everyone else’s bcs im so exhausted from fighting myself... i just want to draw

You don't need more art tutorials to get started on your dream project. You need to draw.

i actually refused to call myself an "artist" until a year or two ago. so instead i invented tortured lexical disasters like "drawinator" to imply that i drew, but wasnt cool enough to be an artist

ini namanya manifesting 🤝🏼

chani dan nino, tadinya genben laras maya, di 2022 aku putuskan untuk ngejadiin mereka oc tetap, tapi akhir-akhir ini mulai jarang aku gambar karena mau ada beberapa adjustment di karakter mereka 😂

Rani Tara, genben Radi Tara, sama halnya kayak chani nino, mereka aku jadiin oc tetap juga, tapi agak stuck beberapa tahun untuk karakterisasi, jadi perlu diulik dulu sampai akhirnya bisa aku rilis tahun ini

(topik yang tak bisa aku singgung di igstory so im yapping about this on bsky)

im always a bit careful with those themes since i havent fully lived those experiences (plus i only realized im bi about 2 years ago, which is funny bcs ppl seemed to know before i did) and a lot of my GL/BL comics end up on pause bcs im still figuring out lmao

sama aja sih berlaku ke semua hal (apa lagi kalo mau mengangkat soal kelompok rentan) kalau emang gak belong di komunitas tersebut, yaudah give the spotlight to them, not you. ya lu stay in your lane aja... wkwk

hmm lately ive veen thinking about some recent discussions in the webtoon community (dan drama baru baru ini) if youre planning to create any queer-themed comic, please reflect on your own perspective and where you stand as an author, being thoughtful about your viewpoint. be responsible.

perception: pro artists can pick the exact color they want every time reality: pro artists have a process that helps them quickly dial in on colors but still spend huge amounts of time flipping between a layer at 57% opacity and 59% opacity because either could work for different reasons

rani #oc — introducing new oc (again) and lets start from her!! (the title is 'Kasti' tho but i will explain it later wkwk) i named her Tiarani Chandrika so it sounds like Radi Mahardhika WKWKWK an ISTP and Capricorn, a smol girl, and rn shes totally confused about herself and Tara 👍🏼

tapi sekarang i own it aja lah 😁👍🏼 if i cry in the middle of making it then cry, i will cry when i write the dialogues, i will let myself devastated yang penting selesai anyway its a story about Laras to Maya, yeah i finally did it.

...bsky saw it first: tahun depan aku mulai produksi komik GL pertamaku...wish me luck.... naskahnya udah dari 2021, tapi baru berani w rampungkan sekarang (believe me its so hard for me to write GL, not because the storyline....but im afraid i cant set my boundaries since its too personal for me)

WKWK HALO REDA,,, trims atas dukungannya,,, tanpa ak sadari larasmaya terlalu mendominasi di bsky,,,,

kucingku harus mejeng di sini jg 😼

ooohh so this is how you do thread....satu satu...kinda mendokuse tho......i hope they improve this thread thingy (demanding)

now that ive found this (((feeling))), even if only 10 people support me, the spark will always keep burning, karena kayak...kalo banyak orang yang support tapi diri sendiri gak pernah secure, akan jadi boomerang ke diri sendiri.

100

and the most painful part is constantly hearing, 'its such a waste not to continue (my old works)' while deep inside i already feel ive reached my limit, if i go on, im afraid i'll just burn out completely kek sedih abis

100

maybe its because ive finally ‘discovered’ something 🙂 it took 3 long years of exploring to finally free myself from my old creations... 😶‍🌫️
