I'm on about 2 days without eating, and struggling to keep focused, but I'm working out a kind-of plan.. I need to get motivated and start actually doing comms and work again, instead of languishing. I have a lto of stuff in the que to finish, first though..

of course this means i just make 0 progress and then end up ACTUALLY guilty, and haunted by that instead,

I'm sure this is a regular problem artists have, but i really struggle with doing commissions, I feel like people are handing me something sacred, their ideas, and i'm juggling these delicate glass figures that 1 wrong move will shatter forever, And i get stunlocked by the potential guilt of it

Manga page from the way of the house husband, written and illustrated by Kousuke Oono, where Masa (an underling of the main character former gang) says “I’ve never used chat got in my life” and his aura is so powerful it burst out of him and push away all the other members of the gang.

(Original text says “I’ve never smoked a cigarette in my life”)

Lots of fun WIPs of these two, I really love writing / drawing arguments between characters I've been wanting to just draw more one-off little scenes of either of them lately, but have been slow with art cause of depression

It's such a disconnect how much most, average people recognize AI as being crap. "vibe coding" and slop, The backlash is very real, and despite being loud, the pro-AI people tend to feel very small But i still constantly see articles just outright stating things like "AI has conquered coding!"

It's just adolescent creators who think the only reason you make something is to have a finished thing other people can praise you for. They play a game or watch a cartoon and go "ugh, i wish I had something like this to share with people..." To them, anything before that is gatekeeping their ideas

it's doubly stupid cause work on the comic is only as slow as it is because of depression, my art in general suffers from it, i've basically been at a standstill with all my work, And at the back of my head it's like "just get over it" but obviously more complicated than that.

Production on the comic has been slow enough that i find myself "creatively anxious" again, where my head just keeps pooling full of ideas with nowhere to go. it's driving me insane.

This is actually getting pretty rough, i'm out of supplies and maybe a day away from running out of real food, And i can't use my art software until i pay for it, (it's cheap though, like 10 dollars,)

And so you get these annoying, heated exchanges between people who are communicating in a way that's often reserved for the show of making somebody look foolish to the people watching, It's annoying!!!

the point of a debate is to criticize their arguments for the audience, not to change the mind of your opposing interlocutor. But so many people are convinced that's why we debate topics. And so they take these tactics into regular conversations where their goal IS to change someone's mind.

I really hate how debate culture has poisoned so much discourse. It's pretty common now for people you encounter to engage with you in the style of a modern debate, looking for gotchas and wedges to undermine the things your saying. I should say, i LOVE debates, but this is so stupid in conversation

Trying to crawl out of this depression pit so i can work on commissions again, It's a struggle to even draw for my own, my usual motivation tricks haven't been working. It's a spiral since being behind on things (including my own comic / just personal sketching) makes me feel extremely guilty,
