*small blood warning* IMPORTANT: SCRATCH IS *NOT* AN ART WEBSITE, SO THE QUALITY IS ABSOLUTE TRASH. PLEASE IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS, CLICK SEE INSIDE AND ZOOM IN INSIDE THE BACKDROP IN COSTUMES I'M BEGGING YOU THE QUALITY IS SO BAD SMH. Now I'll explain this entry. So basically, I had this idea from the very very beginning of the contest, it's called dimensions because all three drawings are Jei, but coming from different dimensions. I hope it's obvious or I've failed, but they're coming out of portals. Okay so the actual like backstory thing is basically this: Cyborg Jei was unhappy in her world after it was taken over and she lost everything she had worked towards until she found an old scroll that told of other dimensions. Desperate and power hungry, she spent two years searching for what may have been a legend. Everyone abandoned her, calling her crazy, but she wouldn't give up. She had nothing to lose. The moment captured in this drawing is exactly when she has discovered that everything she did was worth it, and she would be able to conquer the dimensions after all. And then Regular Jei and Fairy Jei are just now discovering the other dimensions exist and are kind of freaking out :) AnYwAy for those who care, I have a kind of important announcement. Working on this drawing, I've realized that lately I have HATED every second I spend on my art, because I've stopped doing it for me. I was just overworking myself and making myself miserable because I wanted to be noticed, and that is not okay. I need to reclaim my art, so I'm taking a break from Scratch for a while. This'll be my last CE for a long time, at least until my relationship with my art is a little more solid. I'm still going to be checking comments and stuff, I love my friends and I don't want to isolate myself from them, but I'm not going to post for like at least a month, probably. That's not set in stone, if I draw something I really like, I might share it, but I don't want to be drawing for someone else. Like I said, I want to get back to a place where I love my art, and where my art is MY art again. Another reason I'm taking a break is to focus on diversity in my art. I've been paying a lot of attention to @-Add-Some-Color-'s discussions of discrimination and lack of diversity, and I realized that I DO NOT include enough diversity in my art. I just don't. I really don't, and that needs to change. I as an artist am responsible for contributing to unrealistic beauty standards and lack of representation, so I need to change that. Anyway, I'm going to be working on that while I'm taking a break from scratch. Sorry this was so complicated and weird ha ha but anyway, see everyone later :) hey you should follow she's really cool and she has awesome art. she literally needs one more follower for 100.... she's such a kind person, please go support her!
