I found your blog on accident while searching for another artist and ohhhhh my your art scratches my brain just right. The way you render is absolutely gorgeous, instant follow for sure. Your art alone is making me want to join new fandoms I had no previous interest in. 10/10 would stare at for hours.
Oh wow. Thank you so much!
This really touched me-- i've always had people tell me how they like my work, which dont get me wrong, i always appreciate! But if you couldn't already tell, i dont use tumblr much anymore.
I posted all of my "art" here 2-3 years ago nonstop, hoping for some recognition. That time period was super awful, honestly! My mental health was flushed down in a diarrhea toilet, and i thought that pushing myself to create create CREATE!!! would make people tell me things i wished to hear all the time-- "wow raegan you're great and you matter!" I wanted to beat myself into being the greatest artist i could possibly be, because up to that point, all of my life i'd based what i was worth as a person on my art. Honestly super obnoxious of me, im not proud of it!
Thankfully after a couple years of healing i no longer feel that way. I create art for myself and myself only. That mindset change was so important to my well being.
To put it more simply-- TLDR!--- it feels sort of relieving to have someone tell me they enjoy my work, especially when i look back at it with a bunch of negativity and regret
Again, thank you so much for the kindness. it means so much more than you think!! Sending love ❤️
