I'm home because of the covid situation. Also, a little sick, but it seems to be not the virus, since I'm under antibiotic P:Â
It's all a quite strange situation here, almost dream-like for some aspects.
And you? how are you doing?

Anipzis In reply to 42Ly [2020-03-12 10:42:39 +0000 UTC]
Hehehe, thank you Ly! Â
Almost dream-like situation? What does that means?
Weirdly there’s nothing happened here. There’s almost no cases of covid here, although some people are still cautious at being infected with it. Doesn’t it feel sucks tho, staying at home?
I’m feeling quite normal. Still stuck with thesis but i’m not quite burdened by it. I’m happy seeing dA updates on mobile app, that means i can be more active here! I’m excited to chatting again with my dA friends
I still attend on my art club regularly (have i told you about that btw?) So everything is looking pretty good for me. I also watching a stream called “HealthyGamer.gg” on twitch. It talks about mental health with other streamers and talks about the problems people have in this era where people playing games for living. I feel that i learnt a lot of things about myself by watching that stream.
There’s one thing that i find troubling tho, i haven’t do sports for a while. I used to swim regularly but because of covid i’m also cautious about it. I don’t feel like to do pushups and that sort of thing, i feel that i’m too lazy to do that xD
So yeah, school, drawing, and learning things is my priority in life right now. I also wanted to help my friends if they have some troubles in mind. Do you have something that troubling you Ly, just in case? Â

Like a dream, everything seems suspended, and things move slower than normal: people have to stay home and go out only for specifical emergencies/situations, tv almost only talks about the coronavirus situation, hospitals are full of infected and there're so many deaths etc.. It's so different from the life we knew and lived. People seem to think they only have to endure ill the begining of April; but it's probable that this siuation won't disappear so easily. However it's fantastic to see how everybody's trying to stay optimistic or busy.
It doesn't suck to stay home and relax (well, there's actually lessons and work you can/have to do via web P: ), but it's all a different situation from normal. I think it's the fact to be forced to stay alone with ourselves, which is so strange and a little frightening. Luckily, there's still the internet and we can comunicate throught it (:
I'm glad that there you're in a way better situation, and hope it will remain like that ^^
What is you thesis about? I don't remember if I had already asked you, if so apologies for my weak memory ^^''
Yep, you told me about the art club, and I'm so happy to hear you keep attending it! Are you doing aything particulair with the members (like a common project), or you only meet to draw together?
The twitch streamer you mentioned seems pretty interesting, I'll check it out. How did you find it?Â
For the sport, my only suggestion is to climb stairs up and down, since you don't like the idea of push-ups (;
I actually have tons of problems in mind, but don't want to bother with them anybody XD

Ah i've heard that the pandemic situation in Italy are quite bad. I can't really imagine about what is happening there, and what will happens in the future.
Do you think the pandemic is severe, tho? Like, how much impact does it causes other than being in quarantine?
Well actually, it's just started to infect my country too xD School are closed, religious place are limited, and gathering event are prohibited. It's not much a problem, but it is kind of weird yeah
Personally, i don't like stuck at home. I had this feeling of unproductiveness when i'm at home, because i tend to easily distracted by things that made me curious. Then whenever i distracted by something, it seems that i can't stop and will keep doing these distraction until everything is clear. Acting on curiosity is like my trait; whenever i'm curious about something, i won't stop doing it even if it'll take hours to do. Sometimes it's productive things and more often it's not. I wonder if it's applied to everybody
My thesis is about Computer Science. Although i have almost zero idea on how it's works. I even made an entire journal about it in this site.
We meet to draw together, so it could be a weekly routine. Some members also doing contest together and such. It's nothing different like meeting artists in DeviantArt, actually. Except it's happens in RL and we meet as fellow artists physically. (Although i can't actually draw tho, i'm mostly there just to talk and randomly scribbling sketchs. Drawing is hard for me, that never changes ;-; )
Mostly why i keep doing gathering art club in general is so i can work with my social anxiety (or nervousness). I realized that i'm good when i'm talking through writing on internet, but it's not the same when i met real people. I need some kind of balancing so it would be fine even if i have to meet people too. So far taking initiatives to talk with people in reality still makes me nervous, and there's no cure instead of keep trying to talk. At least being in art club is comfortable enough for my comfort zone
That's just a random event. I like watching streams on twitch, and somehow i found the channel. That simple :3
Heh, that's fair I wish you the best!

It depends on what side do you consider, but in general the consequencies are many and of different degree of severity.
In some areas, the hospitals are full, their medical stuff has to do rigid turns to be always present 24h per day; luckily, new personal has been recruit so the new energies and individuals will bring a refresh. They even call youngs just exited from universities and retired doctors to cope with the emergency.
People die alone in hospital and are buried often alone, because their families cannot go out for the quarantene. In some areas there are so many dead that the bodies had been carried outside of the cities by the army, to be buried and cremated somewherelse.
Students study and follow lessons from home, and the workers that can do the same; unfortunaely, Italy hadn't a good web for smart-working before the crysis, so we're settling everything up just now.Â
All shops are closed, except for groceries and drugstores, and we cannot leave home or travel from a city to another; exceptions are done only for work or for health problems. Many are probably losing their work, or are at least going throught a difficult period because they cannot work.
On the happier side of the situation, everyone tries new things to go throught the situation, there're books, comics, documentaires and movies free for all on some sites or tv channels. Air is very clean, because of the almost non-existent vehicles pollution. Neightbours speak and stay together. And the governement tries its best to help as much as it can.
To me, the situation affect less than other. I'm used to stay home, or at least to not go outside too much (like for evenings with friends or colleagues), because I hadn't much time before. The bigger impact is on the internet lines, it was not good before already and now it has to substain the work of more persons since all my family stay home (and each one has or want to use internet P: ). I'm not seeing my nephews, since they live distant and now we cannot travel anymore to see each other (but were using skype, so we can chat). I'm worried for my father, who work in hospital and has contact with infected persosn; and for my grandmother, who's very fragile and could not resist the virus if she get it.
Tho, Im trying to stay positive, since there's not much I can do by myself. And I draw and read a lot, since the abundance of time (:
Sorry for the rant ^^''
I'm sorry to hear that the virus arrived there too ):
How is it going, and how are you? wish you the best, and to stay safe!
I think what you described happens to others too, to get distracted I mean. But with different degree/levels, like some get only minimally distraced and are more able to stay focused, while others don't or it's more diffucult for them.
Maybe you could help yourself putting down a sort of schedule to follow? like, organize your day time into activities, and try to follow it with scrupulousness. I know it can be pretty helpful, even if at the beginning it may be difficult to follow. But once you got it, it just becomes like a routine.
What?! a thesis about a subject you don't know? XD explain me this, please
What a wonderful idea, to use the art meetings to work on your anxiety! It's perfect, you work on the problem starting in what is a confort zone
, and with time you begin to be more self-confident! It's so ingenious that I have to try it too for myself, so I'm going to copy your example and find a group to test it (when this pandemic finish) ^^
I can understand you, writing throught a screen is way more different and easy than talk to real persons. I also don't feel comfortable about drawing in public

That sounds quite drastic change. I wonder how are you people dealing with that situation? I can imagine someone will be shocked by this much of change. It's sounds like the word "isolation" is pretty accurate to describe it.
Especially the buried alone part, i've heard about it and i think it's really sad
I'm okay reading through your rant. I hope everything will be fine for your family.
My country is not as bad as your country looks like, maybe just like half or quarter part of the severity. There's a lot of awareness video shared from various social media that made by locals, so i think it will be fine. Mostly the cases of pandemic in my country came from the capital city Jakarta, i think it's rarely a case in my city So i'm totally fine!
And that's right about happier side of situation, there's a lot of resources now in internet that is in discount or totally free. I'm actually fascinated by how convenient it is to do things that used to be manually, now it's available online. For example like school exam online and discussion online. As a lazy person who like quick, easy and effective method, these are really convenient!
I do try to make a routine, and sadly all of my routines that i've done so far involve getting out from my home :" But i still try do my best to at least doing something from home. It's not that i'm unproductive, it's more that i'm uninspired to do things at home.Â
I can follow a routine and plan things, but i learned that there will be a time where i'm just stop doing it. Maybe it's a feel of boredom because i don't feel like doing something by myself at all. I wanted to do things together with people.
I could explain about my thesis, but i think it will be easier if i just show this journal instead fav.me/ddf0vku, and discuss it in the journal so i could remember advices that i've got.Â
I’m glad that you think so! Go try it, -at least for me- it feels pretty good!  Although it might be weird at first because art is quite intricate to talk about.

I don't know, I guess we all are just trying to stay close even if we're distant in reality, and support each other.
Thanks for your words, and I wish for you and your country to just have a very little experience of the virus, or, if it goes pandemic there too, that it might be slow so that hospitals have energies and resurces for everyone.
Maybe you prefer to have dedicated spaces to do things. For example, some of my uni friends studied only in library, they said that at home it was difficult for them to concentrate and they get easily distracted. It might also be your case, and so, to you, home is just for rest and relax.Â
Or maybe, since you said you prefer to do things with other people, it's just easier for you do meet others outside and not at home, therefore you find easier to do stuff somewherelse than home.
Read the journal, I'll add my thoughts there, even if they wound be much helpful probably ):
I think it's not intricate, it just have many different hues and levels. But that's its beauty, it allows you to dive into it and move up or down these levels and even stretch to reach near fields of interests ^^

Yup, i think it's true. We should keep supporting each other! Â
Well it's hard to find the real reason on why, cos there's so many reasoning that applies and also many things that doesn't. It's hard to explain things about habits of self without involving any reasonable thoughts (a.k.a ego), so let's just leave it at that xDÂ
I'm sure i can work at home effectively, i just need to do it and try various method while doing it   Â
I do really like involve myself with people, especially when it's one-on-one. Some personalities are quite interesting, don't you think so too? Â Â Â
That's interesting way to explain it! My art club is especially the quirky one. it's a hentai drawing club, don't tell anyone!  Â
But i have to agree, it really is! It's like that i have to dive into the extreme one to see how beautiful and diverse art is. I have no interest in drawing nsfw arts, but i really appreciate every single one of many kinds of arts. That's totally true that art have many different hues and levels.

Oh really? first time somebody tells me such a thing! It sounds super-interesting, especially 'cause it's not the usual stuff you hear people do as a group And I would never suspect you could get involved in such an atypical club. How did it happened, if I can ask?

Anipzis In reply to 42Ly [2020-04-12 12:35:42 +0000 UTC]
Sorry for the late reply!  I’m starting to losing track of time already xD
It started when i was in group project with a guy, whom i’m not acquainted before. After doing these project i had chance to talk with him about art, and found out that he’s a comic artist. Then he tells me about some art communities and opportunity in art and such. Then he found out that i don’t mind nsfw stuff so he just invited me to his artist club. It’s not that i suddenly randomly joined, more that i was invited by this guy who become my friend then. And i’m always just saying yes for new experiences!
That’s it! Maaaaybe it wasn’t sounds that interesting story to be told, but it was very interesting thing to experience! The members of the club itself isn’t that lewd/horny, more like they want to find the community part and business part of it. Oh and also, i think their stronger part is drawing anatomy. They are like experts when it’s about anatomy, i learned a lot from them.
Well, what else can i say... It’s quite fun! Â

I come back to life every now and then (:
I'm mostly fine, almost broke a foot going down the stairs (it's recovering well, I just have some problems with fencing but a part for that no big problems).
I'm doin drawing stuff with kids, one-two hour a week to make them doing somehing afer school; it's not as fun as I imagined (the people who recruit me and my sis sell us the thing as 'doing some fun project wih kids, or teach them to draw' but in the reality we only go there and watch them drawing, while sometime helping to improve or correct something if they want or ask to. It is fun, for some ways, but I expected something different. Oh well, it's still a way to with someonelse.
And lastly I was involved into a friend's project about greatswords, he's a fan of them and is trying to classify as many as he can (therefore he always asks castles, museums and private collections if they allow him a visit). We went to as small castle for a day, end of January, to measure and catalogue some swords, unfortunately they left us very little of time and we only manage to do three. At least we saw lots of different weapons, even a beatiful example of a schiavona (a specific type of sword; it was so beautiful and well preserved, and felt so nice to keep in the hand! *u* ).
For the rest, I just try to find my way in life, learn to use digital coloring well enought and spend some time and wonder what's the answer to everything and, more important the question (:
What about you,? it's nice to see you back ^^Â

Oh, geez, sorry about that.
Is there anything stopping you from drawing along with them?
Even if you're not creating yourself, I've found that being around other people who are creating art, talking with them, helps my imagination considerably.
Wow, that sounds cool! Schiavonas are beautiful indeed, though I often prefer thinner blades.
Well we all know the answer is 42, it's the question that's the tricky part. lol
Thanks. I really do want to stay around this time.
Lots of chaos. I've moved again, out to a new place. Spent thousands of dollars and lots of time trying to put together a short film, have all the footage, and it just sits on my laptop because I'm terrified to edit and finish the damn thing. Still can't find a job.

It's ok, it'll go away with time.
Not really, but they don't really listen to what we say, except if it's something that really interest them. But in general, they do whatever they want. I've to say, the majority of them is very young (6-8 years) but it's not an excuse for them, they really don't pay much attention. We started trying to give them drawing messages throught games or activities, but they don't do any so they don't catch the idea behind the activity. We're considering to find manual activity to do with them, but it's not the same as show them how to draw.Â
What I hate is that the adult behind the after-school activities say they don't pay attention because it's difficult, and they're just kids. But it's not true, they just want to do what they prefer. And it's ok, i's just sad that we cannot do anything specific with them.
At least sometimes they ask for suggestions about what to improve in what they're drawing, so you feel a little helpful there.
Oh, now I'm curious, thinner blades like what, for example? (:
Exactly (:
Don't leave it there, finish it. Maybe a step at time, or all in one big long session (ok, I don' really know how these things work, but you got the idea), just don't leave it in your pc to accumulate dust, work on in. It won't give you any good to leave it be, it will only terrified you more and more.Â
Why do you fell so unsure about it? you say you spent so many energies to put together the material, why you're afraid now?Â
For the job, is it because you're looking for something very specific? or it's just a very difficult problem (in general or in the specific field you'd like to work into)?Â

If it's any consolation, I fell onto some concrete and almost broke my drawing hand not two days after this conversation. XD
That's frustrating. Even when I was a little kid, I hated other little kids. lol They're just impossible nuisances to control. I wish I could offer some advice, but this is a field in which I'm utterly useless. At least you do get to instruct them on occasion.
Not really anything specific; I just think that the more rounded hilts and hand guards of schiavonas tend to look more visually appealing when paired with thinner, rapier-style blades. Or perhaps a thicker curved blade like a golok.
I'm going to finish it at some point, I promise. haha Too much money has been spent on it to just throw it away. It might take me a while.
I'm afraid because it's my last shot. I'm almost 28 years old. College was a waste of time. I've tried everything and can't seem to get a career in art or film no matter who I kiss up to. No industry connections, no opportunities, no job prospects. This project, this short film...I've sunk more money and time into it than any project I've ever made before. If it turns out bad, then I'll have thrown away so much for nothing at all. If this fails, I'm giving up.
I have no skills outside of art. None. It's all I know how to do.

It's just impossible for me to make them do what I want. It's easier to just play their game and maybe trick and push them in a specific direction, to do what what you want.
Don't worry for advices, we'll find a way (:
I didn't know golok, thanks for it!
Some questions you probably have already listened a thousand times, but have to ask anyway:
- Do you know any group you could ask help to find works related to your art skills? I remember you once said you were in a group(/collettive?) with other artists. Could something like that give you any help (to promote your works, or give you contacts, etc..)?
- Have you tried or considered other possibilities, still art related but not in your usual field?Â
- Have you searched work just near home or also in distant states (of USA, america, or abroad)?
I'm terrible with these arguments, I always fear to say the wrong things or give the wrongs suggestions. But I'm always open to listen.
I rarely talk about myself or my life, expect very generic aspect or very specific interests, nothing that gives to anyone a real idea of myself. So, you may not believe me, but I really understand how you feel.

No no no, you're not terrible. There have been many times throughout my years on DA where I've enjoyed talking to you because you're so empathetic and kind.
And I get that. But a person's essence isn't where they live or what they do. I don't know many specific things about your life but I feel that I know more about you than people who post their entire life stories. Thanks for being there for me.

(It's ok, you can reply if and whenever you want, don't worry ^^)
- A group could maybe help you to find a way for you to work in art field. So, I'd suggest you to try in that direction more, if you think it could offer solutions or ideas.
- Have you considered to try searching work in that area? I know graphic designers are quite appreciated these days.
- Ah, well I tried P:
I hadn't have any new thing to suggest, that's a clear evidence of how much I know of the topic :/
I wish my words could offer more than empathy or kindness, like true ideas or solutions. Tho, since I know so little it's reasonable that I cannot do much.
Sorry for asking here too, but how are you? I'm afraid for USA territory because of the covid, and since it reached your country and now it's quickly evolving in a bad situation I fear for people I know there.

- Not for a while. Perhaps I should try again. I did get a part-time job though!

Empathy is the most important thing you can offer another person. It means so much that you care.
I’m ok. Not sick yet. My family is alright.Some relatives of mine had to move out of New York because things are so bad there.

This period could give you more possibilities. Here, with almost everything in stand by or closed, people are orgaizing to work via web and pc (which is sooo weird, since my counry has never been in pair with technologies; you can imagine the mess some areas or jobs are going through).
I don't know what's the situation there, but if it's goes like it went here (meaning, shops and buildings closed, people stay home), maybe you could find an opportunity for you and you abilities.
It's a little late to ask how I am XD I mean, it's almost a month and an half that the virus hit us P:
Anyway, I'm ok (: My family too is all ok; we don' know if we caught or not the virus, at the beginning of march my mom got sick, maybe had it, maybe not; we don't know since she hadn't been tested. My dad, me and my twin got also sick, but we didn't really know if it was covid or not; especially because in that period we still were visited by our nephews, who're always some virus or bacterium.Â
We're closed at home since the beginning of march, it's a problem for internet (too people on the line), but for the rest it's ok. Mom's going a little mad because she's a teacher and has to do her work from home, she's not ready for it. Dad keeps going at the hospital, he's a nurse and mom keeps worrying he might get the virus (more a month ago, now she's a little less worried but still not happy).
I'm lucky enough to live outside the city, in the country, so I can still go out and walk ear home.
The situation is almost normal, the weirdest period were the first weeks; now we live and wait. The only bad things are the ton of fake ews that people keeps inventing, and I'm statring to get really angry about it.
I'm more worried for you and your country, at the moment. How's the situation now, since you're message was like a week ago?

Yes, it's interesting to see how some businesses become more organized and some fall apart. Opportunities spring up for those who want them, I guess.
Maybe I can find something.
I'm so sorry; I don't mean to seem like I don't care. It's just, I have a tendency to disappear from deviantart, and so do you, and our conversations often stretch out for long periods of time as a result. I was really worried about you. And besides, I just read that Europe might experience another outbreak.
Reading this made my heart shake in my chest. To think so many of your family got sick, and to think of how far south it could have gone...it's a miracle you're alright.
Oh, I didn't know you had a twin.
At this point it's hard to separate facts from fearmongering. While I believe that social distancing should be practiced, and that we all need to be careful and not go out in public too often, it feels like crippling the entire world's economy and livelihood might be a bit...much. Our responses could be more measured than they are.
Either way, please stay safe, especially if you just recently recovered.
Things are chaotic here. Our death toll is rising. Some are pointing at this as an indictment of our healthcare system (which does have problems, don't get me wrong) but there's a tendency to ignore percentages and focus only on the raw numbers. Our rate of recovery per infection is very high. I might be wrong but we've had fewer deaths per infection than most other countries too. Like I said, it's hard to tell fact from fear. It feels very dangerous, probably more so than it actually is. The panic may cause more problems than the disease itself.

I hope you'll find an opputunity for yourself (:
No no, don't need to be sorry, as you said we interact at distant, both temporal and spacial, and it's normal that our conversations go so slow! I was just kidding on the timing, didn't mean to make you feel bad, or say that you don't care or such! And if you got that impression then apologie my horrible sense of humor T-T .
Speaking of timing, indeed many fear that a new outbreak will evenually occure in our territories, especially now that many ue states are trying to return to a sort of normality, by reopeing shops and services and allowing people to go out again. HEre in italy today we're again allowed o exit our houses for a small walk or run but alone, or to visit our families. I've finally saw again my nephews face to face, after two months of distance. But the hospital where my father works is worried that new cases are soon going to emerge.
We'll wai and see, and if in two weeks the situation get worse again then the limitations will be reintroduced.
Ehi I told you, we don't know if we got the virus or not But thanks for the care, really
My father might know if he's positive or not soon, the hospital has tested its staff (he wasn't tho, since he got two weeks at home when he was supposed to get the test; went back to work today, so he'll be tested one of these days, I suppose).
Is your state highly hit, or you managed to have only few cases?
And are things a little more stable, now that the newness of the situation is gone?Â
I agree with you, your numbers are not bad as other countries, but I fear that the siuation is still growing up. I saw and hear quite a lot of news from your country, and I'm afraid that things may be go bad soon; I really hope that I'm wrong. But still, be safe, ok? Â

Thank you.
No, your sense of humor isn't horrible! You didn't do anything wrong! I was just worried that I offended you.
Well it's been almost a week now. Have cases gotten much worse?
Has your father been tested yet? You guys still doing ok?
My state hasn't been that bad. For the most part we don't have tightly-packed metropolitan areas like New York or California. There's fewer people here.
Things seem to be stabilizing...in terms of the disease at least. At lot of people are out protesting and demanding the ability to go back to work, and it's gotten pretty chaotic.
Thank you so much.

Cases are less and lesson the whole territory. We've started to re-open many shops, and services. So, libraries are finally open again, and I'll finally be able to give back the books and movies I borrowed two months ago, unfortunately to pick up new ones you've to first reserve them via phone or email :/Â
To be honest, here it's like we want to go back to "normal" life, but we're still taking it pretty easy and with no real rush, at least for the majority of us it seems like that.
Yes, my father got thested and resulted negative. So, it's improbable that the rest of us got the virus; my mother still wants to do the test, since she instead thinks she had it; I don't agree, but I never became a doctor P:
For the rest, we're all good.
How're you now? How's going the search for a way to use your capacities in some work-fields?
And is it still the same situation, or cases increased?
