Nah, these days they go straight to the slop waifu generator.

SET YOUR HEART ABLAZE!!!

Sith Lord

Thanks Shen. I'll continue to be bad but also angry.

Why is that guys hair the same colour as his skin

Letting yourself feel bad for not drawing as good as a 12 year old❌ Letting yourself be humbled and inspired by the 12 year old artist ❌ Letting yourself be inspired out of spite because fuck them kids ✅

Highkey I think a healthy balance between 2 and 3 is probably the ideal for people to whom spite is a strong motivator. I speak from experience.

i died bc where's the lieeee, where is she 💅

Fuel the fire baby!!!!

Some times I have this feeling, but it's give me some motivation to be better

On one hand, I know 100% that it's all a matter of practicing. On the other...I just can't function under my own attempts at self-discipline, and I can't find any actual teachers locally (outside of college, which is too expensive). And I have no idea how to begin or what to do!

(I've got a million resources bookmarked, but again, that self-discipline thing comes in. Plus, no one can tell me what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it if I'm just watching videos or reading books. I don't know, it's just frustrating! I find myself wishing my parents had pushed me growing up.)

yessssss... you finally understand

Unironically wholesome

I love the evil ominous vibes of this. I almost picture him speaking like Palpatine here.

Let the hate grow through you~

More fuel for the fire!

I'm not a spiteful person, so this kind of motivation never worked for me. Still just because I'm not all that good at drawing, is no reason for which one should stop trying to improve.

June can be greatness month too~

Use your aggressive feelings, boy Depict me as a soyjak with all of your hatred, and your journey to the art side will be complete"

How did you get in thier house?

I know it's because the guy is sitting down, but it kinda looks like Shen is just VERY TALL.

just remember fellow olds, you were born bc nobody living could do the job you were destined for‼️‼️

Or in my case, mediocrity

Mine is more "this shape isn't shaping properly. Why won't it shape?"

Embrace the Dark Side. Let your anger fuel you

Oh totes, I’ve always been annoyed and/or envious of younger artists who can draw better than me

Tbh, it feels more demoralizing to me than angering. Wish i could use that as motivation, but it's like the opposite

oooooo i feel that bestie! but fr, don't you dare stop drawing. comparison is the thief of joy, and you're not giving in that easily 👏👏

Flesh-coloured hair never looked as uncanny as when you're ruffling through it 😳

Drawing out of spite and jealousy. The only right way to use a pen. 😌

And horniness

rawr

My exact feeling towards AI. Invest in yourself. Improve. Push boundaries. Out of spite, if you must.

Unfortunately, a more likely outcome nowadays would be making a video slandering that 12-year-old...
