Terrene Spire - Gently ended.

I don't know if I like drawing at all, It's been a way to garner attention, to help myself have one little ounce of positivity in my life, through the admiration from random people.

And yet I like drawing? I think?... I don't know.

I know that feel. I myself will be the first to admit I don't like to draw but more of enjoying having a mental image out in a physical form. That goes for text as well, I mean I've lost count of all the times I wrote down a drawing idea just to forget it because I no longer have to keep a constant mental track of it.

Don't know how close that is to you but I hope it helps.
 
The validation of 'i did good' is probably the part of drawing you like.

I'm sorry to hear about your parents, and wish you all the good luck possible. You deserve it at this point, honestly. I'm not sure what else to say but, yeah, we'll be supporting you.

I guess, but then shouldn't I be able to just enkoy drawing?

Instead I hit a single hard thing to get down and I just instantly give up now.

SSssigh.

If anyone has anything good to say about TS, I would love to hear it. I know its ood, but I can't fucking knock that into my head.

It just feels like I have wasted everyone here's time.
 
It's very original, in several senses. We haven't seen much of the greater world just yet, but it's clear you have thought a lot about it (I recall one post in this thread that talked about a different series of yours in the same universe, that went into the nature of magic and the universe itself). I'm very curious about what the Voice-Lords are (They really don't seem like they're JUST in-universe representations of the voters) and about that weird, prophetic maw that appeared for a single panel.
It's also very original in its presentation: I believe it's the only animated quest in the site (and it's certainly the only one I've ever seen anywhere) and I really like the idea of having a separate site for what's esentially the character sheet plus information about the world. It's pretty well designed, too, it doesn't feel like it's just a gimmick tacked on. Plus, it's just plain entertaining. You can handle both humour and drama, create conflicts without breaking the overall positive tone. The same quest where the first character we meet becomes an abomination made of despair is the one where the main characters walks around wearing Kamina shades as his default outfit (Well, "outfit" may not be the most accurate term, but you get the idea).
So, in short: good writing, good art, and some solid foundations for the story, both in-universe (the world-building) and out (Remember the talk about different routes when we finished the prologue? It's always good to have a clear idea of what you're going to make before you actually sit down and do it).
 
a quick summery of my impressions since I'm a bit pressed for time at the moment, so I'll expand later if i remember:
the art is Amazing. after I first read what there was of terrene spire at the time, every time I was making anything similar to a scene from this, I went and looked at that scene again, tried to duplicate it, and yours was still way better (a good example of this was the --- of grief fight, the scythe was incredible.).
the story is interesting, and seems cool.
I'm not very good at describing how something is good or how something is bad, so all I have left to say is that I like all of it and I think its good'.

You have not wasted anybodies time here, also if I may make a few suggestions, the first is to look more to the little steps and things than the big ones at the moment, set yourself some little goals to do throughout the day and do that, another is that if you do still find something to hard you can either skip over it or move sideways to do something else for a little bit, last one is to try changing up your diet.

I enjoy writing, but I'll admit, that does tend to pale in comparison to seeing that so many people have enjoyed reading it, too. Humans are natrually social creatures (whether we like it or not) so other people approving of what we've done may feel like the goal of writing/drawing sometimes.

It's possible to enjoy both the creation of the thing, and then the approval of the thing :)

And yes, Terrene Spire is amazing. I uh... wish I knew how to say that better. It is amazing.

This is utterly untrue.

You could stop drawing tomorrow and the experience would still have been good. We're participating in a piece of art (And I don't mean that in the pretentious way), and part of this entire thing is the -experience-

The ending is part of it too, the story as it unfolds is important, but we get all of that as we go along with the experience, and I still love the entire thing.
 
as did I, though in my case the problem was SV should have told me when he posted about starting instead of telling me about it ~4 hours later.

I know that feel. My grandmother, she has early dementia and refuses medication, she's getting more and more confused. And I'm a human health aide so I help people like that, and worse.

I got a question, outside of the economic thing, are you capable, mentally, emotionally, and physically, of taking care of your mother?

If so, maybe you can become her aide, might need some schooling for that, and collect a paycheck from insurance

You want to chill out and draw and relax, and then a struggle hits you in the face and you just do not want to deal with it, maybe even can't because all of your other extra energy is used up with the flaming shit spiral

That's fucking normal.

I do not want to be her aide... It already hurts me a lot emotionally to deal with this, I don't want to be living with her and slowly creep into the same role of control she has had over me in the past again.

And it's good and healthy for you be aware of that and I'm proud of you for it.

Don't be, I curse too much and I am more cursing at reality than you. More "Life is fucking annoying" and not "Like is annoying, fuck you."

I am sorry I made you feel the other way.

Do you focus draw? maybe try free doodling? If something stumps you, drop it

Exactly.
