Whenever I'm feeling down about my art I go redraw something made years ago and then I feel better seeing how much I've progressed. I really do not like my own art despite how much I draw lol I don't think I'll ever be pleased with anything I make. I am glad to have improved so much and so quickly, though #optimism

If it helps, I think your art is incredibly charming! It is simply the artists curse to never be satisfied ^^; I should also go back and draw my older pieces sometime...

@ Wodaro & Oscarspage thank you both for your kind words (；▽；) It’s always nice to hear what other people have to say. Even if I’m not the biggest fan of my own art it’s truly comforting that people think it looks nice and enjoy seeing it! It makes creating things more worthwhile in the long run. I will never ever stop drawing since it’s very fun, even if I don’t like the result the process is always enjoyable.

It's also so insane to me that I've been able to cultivate a tiny space of my own for my stories and characters. Absolutely mindblowing that people are like... Aware of me and my creations. Creating Hong and Anton and TLSD and everything else has allowed me to come to terms with my own existence on a spiritual level so I'm pretty grateful for the ability to create art. Anyway, I'm crazy!

Anton likes to think of himself as some kind of bishie-adjacent figure but he's really a lot more gruff than that.

Despite being called HMS Surprise, this one is only a replica and was never commissioned by the Royal Navy. The real Surprise was destroyed in like, 1802 iirc. The replica is the one they used for the movie and they had it all decorated and it was really special. I wanted to include that in my blog but I don't want the entries to start getting too long. I'm really autistic about naval history.

Beautiful! My friend just sent me pictures of a tallship last night. I guess it's Tallship Week!

@ Oscarthesailor Amazing! They are absolutely incredible to see up close, pictures don’t really do them any justice. The speedboats and ferries I see day-to-day are so boring in comparison.

@ Oscarthesailor Yeah, getting sick like this isn’t especially out of the ordinary for me, I get sick pretty often and it’s flu season anyway.

That first drawing on the LSD page is actually a redraw of https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/122993162 this doodle from the second volume of the original Laconic Student's Dilemma comic (I changed some things in the new version but essentially it's the same drawing)
Also grr wanna draw other characters but Hong is my favorite and they are the cutest and easiest to draw soooo (´～`) whatev
