# About me
First I worried about how difficult it would be to write here, now it’s way way longer than I expected. You really don’t have to read it, if you’re not interested.I’m just beginning but yeah, I intend to be professional.
I wanna write stories, but not just write. I wanna create them visually. I wanna be able to write both interactive and non-interactive narratives, and I want to develop the concept art for them. I truly want to write for videogames (more specifically horror games) and animation, but I’ve been thinking about manga/comics as an easier/more doable way to start on my own.
This whole DeviantArt thing that I just started is, for me, about expression not skill. That’s what I wanna remember as often as I can. It’s frustrating when I have a million of ideas and can’t execute them because of lack of skills. But then I wanna remember: “well at least I have the ideas, and that matters more”. Of course I wanna improve my skills, but expression is more important. Cause no matter how much I get better, there will always be tons of people that draw and paint and shade and 3D model and program and etc better than me. But there are specific things that only I can express. And I believe it’s that way for everyone. We all have our own perception and perspective of the world. And the specific combinations that make our internal world will always be unique.
And anyway, I’m doing this because if I don’t create I think there’s no point in living. I don’t want to spend my life just “surviving”. I think I either find a way to make this only thing that’s meaningful enough to me happen or I just gotta find a way out of here.
Hugs of encouragement for those who need it.

I really like your work.. it all seems very.. perposeful? I mean, like, everything is where is should be and if it's not, it's not here.. perfect? I hope pressure like that isn't stifling you :') I hope you're well and would love to see everything blossom

Oh, thank you so much for your comment! These words mean a lot to me. ♡ I'm glad you feel this way about my work because everything I create has a reason behind it and means something to me, and I'm always trying to find the best ways to express these genuine feelings. To tell the truth, I'm a perfectionist and the pressure I put on myself is what stifles the flow of creation.
Anyway, I hope you're well too, thanks for all the faves and watch, and sorry for the late reply (I haven't been very active on DA lately).

No problem! I thought as much.. I like it but it's a bit of a shame to me.. I like to see more of an artist's mind through the "mistakes"/creation process but you seem too proud to show anything but the perfectly finished work.. This isn't an insult btw!
It's no problem.. your work is lovely so didn't even expect a response really and assumed you'd be at least almost inactive. Keep up the good stuff. You're brill.

What do you mean "a shame to you"?
Hum, interesting... from my perspective my finished work is still far from "perfect" (I can see a lot of mistakes), but yeah they look "finished", not sketchy. The main reason why I am not submitting sketches is that I'm not making any... The only drawings I'm making lately are actually the ones I'm posting here on DA. I have a few sketches from last year and I've considered putting together the ones I liked the most to submit here, but haven't done it yet. I think one thing stopping me is that I also like to be consistent, so I don't think I would start posting sketches If I'm not going to post more of those in the future, and at the moment I'm not sure if I will get organized enough to practice drawing regularly. Now about the creation process, I just never thought about showing any of that. In my mind that was something famous artists do, and I'm pretty unknown, so I thought there wasn't anybody interested in seeing that.
Thanks for the encouragement!!

Maybe it's only a British saying? I mean.. I feel.. disappointed that I can't see more? Which is not in anyway your fault! Keep it up! I just like your work.. hence I suppose wanting to see your process.. which is perhaps something only popular people do.. but "unknown" people can still have fans who'd like that.
That makes a bunch of sense to me.. I wouldn't post a lot of things for consistencys sake but it seems my only consistency is that I'm frequently inconsistent.. so I'm really quite free.
Now.. if only I could make art which looks .. good.

Now I get it, I just wasn't reading that in that sense before...
Yeah, if you're always inconsistent, that in itself turns into a paradoxal type of consistency. I checked your gallery and it's awesome that you feel free. You're so prolific and I couldn't see everything, but I wish I were more like you.
You definitely can do it! I believe most people are more critical about their own work than about the works of others, so it's not that strange if you think your art doesn't look good. I myself am almost never satisfied with anything I finish. I guess be aware of the things you want to improve and focus on practing those, one by one, little by little. But more important than anything else, you really have to believe in yourself. Do you approach art as a hobby or as a career?

I'm not always very clear, sorry. Thank you for messaging with me.. and you're welcome to again any time, but I'm going to have to give this message a complete pass.. I'm sorry.. mental health calls. (who'd think a response would be so tough)
I wish you luck with whatever you persue.
