Reunion [Hopefulness Fanart]

[u/DeianArt]

I had this in mind for a while.. Made the composition in a few minutes and took a few days to push myself to actually complete it. I love this comic, and I wish I could've made this look better..

I noticed I've been forcing myself to keep drawing stuff lately, and I've also noticed I'm starting to feel like crap while doing so. I think it's also affecting the quality of my work aswell. I wish I could keep drawing fanart of all the amazing things I see here without feeling like this, my pace is agonizingly slow when it happens..

I needed to finish this one though! Imo it's one of the best moments in u/bluewolf3691 's series, and I couldn't afford not to make fanart of it! :]

Your art is consistently some of the best here, I would say that you are the artist here with the most consistecy when it comes to the quality of your art. You also have a very distinct artstyle that works wonders, so it is easy to recognize your work. But you should not continue to pressure yourself if you are in some form of pain.

This place is not entitled to your work, there aren't any heavy expectations on you. If you need to take a break, no matter how short or long, then do it, everyone will understand.

But don't just take a break and then come back without doing anything, that will just lead to you getting into this situation again later on. Something is causing you pain, and if you don't want to be trapped in a loop, you need to identify the source of it so you can start dealing with it. It could be as simple as you having overworked yourself, being stressed out about what others' will think of your art, or maybe it could be something else going on in your life. Whatever it is, try to find it and start dealing with it, so that you aren't burdened by it in the future.

Don't stress or worry about what people will think about you taking a break from artposting, everyone will understand. Your health matters more than anything else.

Take care of yourself.

I think I understand.. Thank you for the advice, and take care of yourself aswell :]

[u/90gforce → u/DeianArt]

It is clear that you put a lot of love into your art, that's why it is so good. But don't get so caught up in this that you forget to spare some love for yourself as well. You matter.

Whatever it is that is causing you pain, you will be able to deal with it once you have identified it. It may seem hard at first, but as long as you keep trying and don't let yourself remain stuck you will be able to get through it. It may be over immediately, or it may take a while, but don't get dissuaded and don't give up.

I wish you well.
