So that's what it means! I've received comments like "a want to eat it" to my art and it was always soooo weird and confusing, lol :')

Plus in a more surreal Echo form based on my own creatures:

This drawing is from July and was drawn as my personal character inspired by the Watcher DLC. I drew this before 1.5 update and now it's fun that the idea and vibe I imagined for my character turned out to be quite similar :'D

Another one with the same character:

Happy Birthday, Wolfram! ✨

Fun detail - in further iterations with more simplification and stylization I always end up with the shape which was... Kotie's oldest stylization :'D the circle is complete. I spent years learning realism and anatomy, but the weird triangle cat with a long face still lives in their core.

I'd actually love to see some concepts of your species, I'm curious to know more about them! :)

And it's ok, many artists do similar things! It's easier for the brain to work with simple shapes instead of trying to see all the details clearly.

Thank you! I like to break things into shapes like this, that's how I read them, and it can be helpful to remember the structure and to simplify/stylize it. I tend to overthink it and lose the thing as a whole, but the method itself makes sense and worth giving it a try! It's a basic thing actually.

You want to look like a long alien "wolf"? :'D

❤️

The epic return of the Chainsaw Dog! :D

And yeah I also often feel like the fact that my characters are "animals" is a problem too, but that's another story...

I don't want to discuss it, only to vent about what I feel behind the scenes. It's not even that my art looks so weird, there are just fantasy animals which are only weird for being fantasy (and too thin, haha), but inside I often feel like a total freak of an artist :')

Of course there are people who made me feel heard, understood and welcomed, who motivate me to believe that my weird art can be accepted with all its personal weirdness, that it has the right to be shared. I am infinitely grateful to them! And of course I'll try to stay.

Everything about social media is build either for professionalism or for memes, quick and superficial contact, numbers, random shitposts and clickbaits. It makes me feel miserable, like I don't even enjoy being an artist, and that almost nothing about sharing art feels like it's for me.
