First: TTB - Page 1 Chap3
It takes me three days or more to finish a page now-a-days.. This troubles me quite a bit (◞‸◟；) I wish I wasn't such a damned perfectionist.

Synopsis:
Thicker Than Blood takes place in the 17th century era, it is a fictional world where humans co-exist with the demonic creatures of mythology. We follow the story of a young man named Salvador and his extraordinary experiences whilst serving as a royal soldier of The Five Crowns. A guild founded by the first five Nobles, whom centuries ago, released Pendulum City from the terrible reign of the vampire lord, Anubis. To this day, the royal soldiers continue to defend the city's populace against the demonic servants left behind by the vampire lord.

I just love the way you do expressions. The way they look at each other. Your style is very subtle but at the same time very expressive, and the expressions look very natural. The characters are really alive. ♥

He's like a teen girl asking if she can go out to see the movies with her friends and promises to be back home before midnight

Awwhahaha, maaan, I have a baaad feeling about it. But thought the same, even if raphael didn't let him, he would go and sneak around anyway, this way maybe he can keep a better eye on him... or at least he will get to know from first-hand if Sal messes up. XD;

If you hate your perfectionism you can get rid of it. I got rid of mine and my anxiety and now I am free to just work or do whatever I want. You dont have to live with it. If you don't like something about yourself just change it. Everyone I know thinks they are a tortured prisoner of their own feelings thoughts and behavior but we have way more control than we think we do. The first step is to understand why you think/feel/behave that way. REALLY understand it. That takes time and thought and constant effort. But most of all, it takes a willingness to face or accept whatever the reason might be without judgment and without getting upset about it.
I think that might be the root of perfectionism in most people who have it - not being able to accept a lot of things or outcomes. Being overly concerned with the concepts of success/failure, nonacceptance from others, or perhaps feeling that you're only valuable if you're the best or most impressive at what you do or that work is only good or expressive if it is 100% the way you envision it 100% of the time. But that's not reality. That's just fear: False Evidence Appearing Real. The truth is we all have flaws, we all make mistakes, we all have areas where we're not progressing or something is missing. We're all a work in progress. We're all in repair. And how perfectionism occurs is when we can know and understand that when it applies to other people, and we can overlook others' shortcomings or failures with speed, grace and not a second thought, but we forget or refuse to extend that same kind of common courtesy and kindness to ourselves.
I think you'll find that all you need to do is treat yourself and your art the way that you treat everyone else's. Look at it and seek to understand first, seek to find the good first and then always maintain hope to counter the bad. Treat yourself the way you'd treat a young apprentice of yours who is studying art - with patience, kindness, acceptance and a gentle loving guidance. And you will find your perfectionism will disappear.
Also, i love your art. It's really really beautiful. I wish I had time to really explain to you why I love it, but some of it is just intuitive and it can't be put into words anyway. All I can say is keep doing you. You are doing you at 200%...and I dig that about you.

I wish I could give you a reply that is equally long and in-depth as your message to give it justice, but all I can really say is that you've hit the nail on the head. Sometimes I do manage to force myself to be more fluid in my artwork, then I gradually revert to tensing my muscles as I try the same line over and over. There are pros and cons about perfectionism I guess, I'm mostly seeing the cons since it stresses me out a lot, especially with this deadline looming over me. I need to be able to work faster to meet it, but I find myself only working at the pace that I can. To be fair, I wasn't given nearly enough time to cover 3 entire chapters. I've accepted the speed at which I can work and I'm okay with that, my editor will just have to deal with it. Because I'm not a machine.
I appreciate your honesty about the matter, you must've dealt with it a lot to know how to describe it so well.
And thank you very much for viewing my work

I did deal with it a lot. I used to quit everything. I would always either get scared and talk myself out of doing things I wanted to do for fear of failing or I would commit to doing it and actually get through it.... but stress myself out over every little aspect of it to the point it wasn't enjoyable even if I did perform well and succeed. So in that case I would burnout and then I'd still quit when I couldn't take the stress anymore. I didn't have a lot to show for myself back then. This year I turned it all around and I started doing things and enjoying things and not stressing. I learned to cook, do math, organize, draw, paint, crosshatch, improved my relationships and self esteem- I even learned how to talk to guys! I did things I thought I could neeeeever ever do. And it all started with learning to love, accept and nurture myself the way I do others, and truly become confident in my ability to handle things and perform well no matter what the circumstances.
It took time, but I'm glad because it helps me in art. Many of my artist friends are always unhappy, stressing, crying, lamenting the state of their work, giving up on things, etc. Meanwhile I enjoy everything and work tirelessly but never stress, and nobody understands it. See, there is an age-old belief that you can't create good art without really suffering for it. So I think we torture ourselves a lot or maybe extra, because we think it'll make our art better or deeper or make us more legitimate as artists, but what it really does is curb our output and curtail our ideas energy and creativity. Our true voice can eventually get silenced. So I think its important to take care of your emotional state even when you work really hard and are really dedicated. I say be an artist who has FUN creating. You know? You already have skill and style. Enjoy it every single time you use it. You must have worked HARD for it. Treasure it. Revel in it like that dragon in the castle full of gold in the hobbit movie! ROTFL You are entitled to roll up in that talent like a dragon taco!
It sucks about the deadlines - in general deadlines just plain suck, but you might be in a place right now where doing good work just takes a certain amount of time. Maybe all you can do is find ways to mediate the stress. Sometimes the things we really want to do in life take a bit of a toll on us physically or emotionally, and we have to constantly manage it, destress, self-soothe and give ourselves time to recuperate. You could also recruit help if you have too many pages in not enough days. Have a friend help you out with the minor but time-consuming tasks like drawing panels or inking or scanning while you just do the creative things. You might need to get a little creative at the problem-solving, but it's a good thing that creativity is something you have got in spades. That means you cant possibly fail.
Oh and dont worry about writing long replies. I'm a writer so I always write a lot but I don't expect others to match me. Especially people with deadlines! So go draw and have fun! If I have said anything at all that helps comforts encourages or inspires you to enjoy your gift more and work freely then I am already happy.

Ahahaha - Raph... *sigh* don't give the puppy to many treats. We all love to see him wiggle his tail, but we all know that he will eventually dig out all of Augustus' flowers and pee on his carpet while dragging Tristan into your office. v 3 v
Also, I love your perfectionism Issy! ; H ; *sigh* But I know why it tortures you!! Aaawww I wanna snuggle you now - its not an easy thing.

You might as well say you love my suffering.
There's nothing good about my perfectionism; don't you dare say otherwise!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nooo you derp, I don't love your suffering, I love your dedication! The greatest artists are also those who suffer the most from their struggle to create something worth their imagination. May it be Da Vinci, Van Gogh or Frida Kahlo, they all struggled to create art worth their expectation and imagination, thus what they created is now known as masterpieces. The real pain in the butt is time here, not your perfectionism girl, don't twist my words around to make them sound as if I am mocking you, that is not very nice.

That's not what I was doing.
I am trying to make you realise how much my perfectionism tortures me. So please don't put a positive light on it when referring to mine in particular.
I never said you were mocking me, now you're just twisting MY words.
And don't call me a derp. You misunderstood my point.
I'm not trying to pick a fight with you, I just need you to understand why I hate my perfectionism, it stresses me to hell; more than the pros are worth. I'd rather be a messy, carefree artist than a stiff, unsatisfied one.

I am sorry if you feel like I didn't get your point. I know why you hate your perfectionism, but I just wanted to say that all great artists suffer from it sometimes more, sometimes less. In my case it is the reason why I haven't uploaded anything new for ages. I am just so unsatisfied with myself and my work, I am slowly smoking out here, loosing all my motivation to draw at all.
Perfectionism is a curse, but only of the talented artists. Trust me I know a couple so confident in their style, that they started to lack the eye for their mistakes in work - leading to art far beyong skills of artists who would diserve far mor attention and credit for their dedication and self-critique.
With other words: We all got to deal with our own perfectionism, remember that you are not alone.
