A Little WIP Of Nebulux; Leader Of The Rebellion.

YOU BET IT ISSSS!!!!!!

I don’t have many uploads and haven’t updated in a hot minute- this is true. But I do be working on it behind the scenes every dayyyyyy (well. most days anyways.)

Character development, story development, dialogue, lore, worldbuilding- all done by MEEEE and someday it will pay off but until then y’all get out of context art as I improve my skills. >:)

Check out my WebToon here on WebToon Canvas!

I will love you literally forever if you check it out and also subscribe for more hehe 💖

To all my creatives out there; you’re not a flop because your artwork didn’t get 100 likes, or because your video didn’t hit the 1k view mark, or you lost a few followers. You didn’t get ‘worse’ and people don’t suddenly hate what you’re putting out there. Sometimes you just get less engagement, but it’s not because you’re making ‘bad’ art!

Keep creating and making things YOU enjoy! You have to be your own biggest fan!

He’s always remarking on my electric guitar and how he used to “shred” back in the day- so y’know. Lol.

I typically don’t post stuff like this on my art blog but this is something I feel somewhat passionate about considering I am a fiction/fantasy writer. Sometimes (not all times) people ask these questions in bad faith. If it’s a stranger, I’m more likely to be inclined to believe it is in bad faith than if a mutual or friend asked me about my world building.

World building is absolutely important, but some people love to ask these questions in an effort to shut down your idea entirely; They want to make you feel stupid for even having the idea in the first place.

My rule of thumb is:

If someone asks a question about your worldbuilding, it may be important to ponder the question to flesh things out more, but at the same time you don’t owe people immediate explanations and you have time to think about things! It’s okay if you can’t figure out what a megafauna in your story eats until you’re deeper into development. It’s okay to not know yet!

And I’m gonna be honest here:

It’s ABSOLUTELY okay for some things to “just be” because they’re cool. I have this weird elk creature in my comic that comes up in a flashback event, and someone asked me in bad faith

“How does it even run around in the forest as a predator, its antlers would hit the trees”

And you know what? That may be true if it were real! But it’s not real. I like my design of the creature and that’s good enough for me. Not everything has to be analyzed and dissected under a microscope.

You do not owe your audience perfection. Grow your worldbuilding at your own pace, it’ll come in time.

When you are a queer author, or an author of any minority group, people love to pull “Gotcha” scenarios all the time to shoot you down. It’s important to keep this reality in mind when speaking on this because there are a lot of bullies out there looking for blood when writing is supposed to be liberating and fun at the end of the day.

The thing about fantasy worldbuilding is that verisimilitude and the rule of cool are not enemies. Someone who looks at a pod of flying whales and asks "what do they eat?" is not being a spoilsport – they're engaging with the premise. There are any number of much more serious objections to aerial megafauna than lack of any obvious role in a trophic web that could have been raised if they just wanted to shoot the idea down; a person who wants to know what the flying whales eat is all but explicitly yes-anding the idea. Sure, you might not have an answer at your fingertips, but acting like it's unimaginative for them to have asked is a really fucking weird way to react.

Iliana revamp! 🥰✨

First image is the new design, second image is her old design. I wanted to make her outfit more simple while still maintaining her purple/red/orange aesthetic 😄

(This is Xoinu’s mom by the way, but you probably guessed that from the hair LOL)

A cloud study I just finished, I really like how it came out. Wanted to prove to myself I can actually draw clouds instead of always relying on premade assets haha 😅

To add on to my last post:

When you create something, you do not owe anyone anything. You do not owe perfection, you do not owe your content to even be good! Fuck it- be bad at writing! Be bad at drawing! It’s okay to make imperfect things because the more imperfect things we create the better our skills get over time.

It’s important to be able to take criticism, but it’s also important to not let expectations crush your spirit. It’s so easy to freeze in the face of trying to be “good enough.” And then with that you don’t get anywhere.

Like there’s nothing wrong with making something bad or making something that’s just “okay”. Perfectionism much like comparison is a death sentence for creativity.
