jealousy and fear hold you back. Instead of scrolling and being jealous of the art you see, go practice instead. You can make anything if you put the effort in. Fear of making bad art stops you from making any art at all. It’s not easy but adopting this mindset will help your progress!

my eldritch freak finally has a name! Aplysiia 💖
(uh-pliz-iuh/uh-plee-shuh)
based on the name of sea slug genus. I also chose that because they’re a deity of illustions/apparitions and I liked a name starting with 'Ap' from apparition. So the name Aplysiia is incredibly fitting for them! #oc
