press flag like 10 times so the animation shows up later thanks This was supposed to be my #2 entry for @Octoling8207’s DTA but it kind of turned into a pile of cringe.... I can’t finish this. I don’t know why but my motivation is so little at this point. I did a whole animation for this too but I don’t know. For some reason I’m able to draw other stuff but whenever I try to work on this I just feel like I can’t get it done. I know if I try and finish it I’ll just take too much time and end up ruining your DTA, Octo :( I’m sorry and I hope you enjoy what I got done so far. I know you’re probably wondering why I was so inactive. Well I was on “vacation” but we had to cut it short for various reasons. I’m having to practice a lot of music and it’s so stressful for me that I spend the rest of my time playing video games since I’m really frustrated at my music skill. I feel like I’m really bad and so by playing video games I kind of feel like I’m good at something. My art has just gotten worse (no joke lol) and it hasn’t been as enjoyable lately. The only great thing about drawing for me is to be able to sketch inkling boys because they’re so cute. lol....??? But on a more serious note, my summer break is when I’m supposed to get a real “move” on practicing my music but I guess I’m just not eager to face the fact that I’m not as good as I used to think I was. There was—I’m being 100% honest—a time when I practiced piano for four or more hours a day. But at that time I felt misunderstood because my parents told me I would have to quit violin to play piano. I was so sad that I wanted to prove I was able to learn the piano on my own. Now I hate having people hear my violin playing because they’re like, “Oh, you sound great!” when in reality I know I’m really bad. anyways, sorry for this random rant. i hope it doesn’t sound like an excuse but i feel really bad, octo.... You’re such a great friend and yet my motivation for drawing is so low that I can’t even finish an animation for you and I start working on something else. I just know that if I stay on this I’ll never get anything else done because I have so many ideas that I want to get out there. :,( But really, congrats on 1k (you’re probably at like 2k now but whatever lol XD) and I’m so glad you’re my friend :D
