Hey, it's a #artvsartist!

Am I late for #artvsartist2025? Or perhaps I'm early for #artvsartist2026!

I do #art sometimes in a mix of #pencildrawing and #digitalart. Last year, I did a lot of #sketches.
An "Art versus Artist" (#artvsartist) image with three rows of other images in it. Row 1: A sketch of a lobster girl walking, a digital illustration of a lobster girl walking into some bombed-out ruins, and a digital illustration of a young woman with pigtails twirling around in a pretty dress and leather jacket. Row 2: A digital illustration of a lobster girl resting her head in a human girl's lap, a photo of the artist (Dave), and a sketch of a young woman with pigtails and a pretty dress holding up a sword. Row 3: An unfinished digital illustration of a lobster girl, a rough sketch of that same lobster girl sitting down, and a sketchy digital illustration of a young woman with pigtails sitting down and loading a gun.

It's always rainy in Sunshower Wetlands!

A frog in a hero's cape and Crabby the hermit in a mug shell enjoy the water as they sit on a lily pad in a pond scattered with umbrella-shaped trees that produce rain under them. The sky is sunny with a few small clouds.

I carry so much internalized shame and guilt from not understanding why I couldn’t do anything right as a kid.

(Not only an ADHD thing, but a common experience with it.)

Panel 1: A young ADHD Alien character looks up at a pointing adult hand, holding her chest. Text reads: “I’ve always felt different. Instead of being understood, I got dismissed and criticized.” Below: “So I made sense of it the only way I could: ‘There must be something wrong with me.’” Panel 2: The character talks to another person, smiling nervously. Text: “So I’ve spent my whole life hiding my true self (not that I even know who my true self is), showing only what I thought was an acceptable amount of myself.” Panel 3: A calm, wise character speaks gently. Caption: “But a very wise person recently told me:” Speech bubbles say: “Healthy adults accept each other when they first meet,” “and set boundaries when given reason,” “so you don’t start off by having to prove yourself.” Panel 4: Final scene shows the character smiling brightly, holding hands with others in a glowing, rainbow-like light. Text reads: “I deserve to have witnesses to my full life who see, understand and love me. Not because I’m so special, but because everyone deserves that, just by existing.”

A #pixelart reminder to us all from my emotional support crab boss:
Young woman gets pinched on the cheek by a hermit crab in a mug with 'best boss' printed on it. Text: Remember! Crabby [heart]s you. Take care of yourself... or else!

Feeling blue makes it hard to focus on my work, so I'm taking a mental health week to recover, learn, and grow.

If I can learn to program, I can learn to overcome my personal troubles too!

Such an amazing classic art from my friend Sam! The vibes are so flawlessly melancholy! I'm not sure what feeling is being conveyed here, but I certainly do feel it just looking at this magnificent piece!

Digitally colored pencil art of a young woman with pigtails and glasses and a big fluffy off-the-shoulder sweater. She also has a handgun. She's crouched behind a stone half-wall and reloading her gun. Digitally colored ink drawing of a young woman with blue lobster parts stepping into a flooded ruin of some alien facility. The hazy blue sky shines in behind her, giving a backlight to the whole image. A hybrid of pencil sketch and digital painting, showing two teenage girls sitting down in a corner, hiding inside a cargo container. The one on the left has short hair and a hoodie, and she's holding hands with a girl who has long blue hair and the features of a blue lobster. A digitally colored pencil drawing of a young blue lobster woman crying on the shoulder of a young woman with pigtails and glasses. She's got her arms around her friend, comforting her.

Time for more Azure Claw #art!

Meredith and Azzura can accomplish great things with the power of friendship, even while doing nothing in particular and hanging out in Meredith's secret library bunker place!
