I will give you ONE GIFT to make you better at art You can have either the SKILLS of michelangelo Or the MOTIVATION of a 16 year old really into minecraft youtubers

-laughs sadly in AuDHD & Perfectionism- Skill or Motivation means nothing when my brain literally blocks me. I have SOME skill (no where near Mickey but still SOME) and plenty of MOTIVATION (I WANNA DRAW SOME PLUSH MAN BOSOM, AS A TREAT) it's the. The brain. The brain bad. Brain wants, but not todo

I work under the following Philosophy: Draw like ONE, doing as hard as you can regardless of skill or talent, you'll make it work eventually. Write like a visual novel writer where you're trying to drive the reader mad with pseudoscience or having the lead character be bullied by toxic women.

What artists need is a muse and in the modern age a muse can be a freaky little anime girl who has anxiety but is also just doing her best. Perhaps with purple hair and a habit of growing plants, one who uses a FABARM SDASS and is called Haruka Igusa.

Brother, I *need* the motivation. I have so many projects I just can't bring myself to execute on.
