More #Warframe Requiem art by the incredible Machina. I never thought anyone would even read my silly little fanfiction, let alone make such amazing art based on it! 🥲

Finally binged "The Summer Hikaru Died"
Holy hell that was some of the best direction I've seen in a while. Probably one of the best horror animes I've ever seen. Would absolutely recommend.

Thank you, that means a lot to hear, especially from you! I'm still struggling to find a consistent style, but I'm glad that my attempts are at least resonating sometimes.

Would you still love me if I was a worm?

Social Media can suck a lot of joy out and make you second guess your wins. I would strongly urge you, for every piece of art you want to post, make at least one you don't. It doesn't have to be perfect, but make art that you aren't worried about making "audience ready" and just enjoy doing it.

I won't promise it will eventually turn you into a master artist or anything, because that would be a lie. But the only way you CAN get better is to keep drawing, and the only way to guarantee you won't ever improve is if you stop. Don't feel bad if it takes you a while to get out of this hole.

It's not an easy mindset switch, and it probably won't even be permanent, but if you try and keep going on sheer willpower, you'll burn out eventually and slide back into another valley. Once you love art for its own sake again, that's when you can take tentative steps back towards the climb. cont-

All you can see is that gap between where you want to be and where you are, and it makes you want to quit. It's agony. But you NEED to do everything you can to detach your art-making process from that expectation. You need to be able to make a terrible drawing and say "hey, that was fun" cont-

2. You HAVE to love art for art's sake. I know that sounds like some cheesy hallmark crap, but it's so damn critical. I imagine you have some end goal in mind, like either a professional career or some project that you feel is outside your current ability, and it's making your lows feel worse. cont-

StallordD @stallordd.bsky.social · Sep 9

1. Art is not linear, and has a lot of peaks and valleys. Sometimes those valleys can be extremely brutal. We're talking months, or even years in some cases. It sucks, but that's just how it goes. There's no easy way out, but the best (in my experience) way is to really focus on part 2. cont-

StallordD @stallordd.bsky.social · Sep 9

So I'll try and be concise, but this is still gonna take a few posts. I'll also try and avoid platitudes, because as someone who has been (and still is) in your mindset, I know how little they do to actually help.

There are 2 really important things to keep in mind. cont-

I REALLY enjoyed the first chunk of Blue Prince, but man, some of these end game puzzles are more about struggling against bad luck than actually figuring out solutions. I just brute forced the postcard puzzle because the last Sanctum key is (I think) in a very annoying place.

Good news! My glyph in #Warframe has been converted to the universal code "STALLORDD"! So if you ever wanted to rep some Corpus flair, now's your chance!

Dang, I kinda want to dig up my old Lavos Necramech / Entrati skin sketches. Never got around to finishing it, but your Netra skins are making me want to give it another shot.

The fact that there are still PAX west tickets on sale is a pretty dire indicator of the current times.
