Dad didn’t visit me in the hospital or call. I almost died and nothing.

He’s not even my real dad, I’m a rape baby. I met my real dad and he doesn’t want me either.

My ex husband got to kick me out my home. It was probably illegal, but no one cared because he had money.

I’ve had multiple jobs fire me after finding out I was trans - despite loving the work I did. Despite me being good at what I do.

    My puppet show was a brief sketch about vinegaroons. I got to attack my audience with vinegar to show off their defense mechanism, which was fun.

    I’ve been making lots of arthropods. I’m not very good so I try to pick things with really distinctive and easy to draw body shapes. I didn’t realize it was possible to cut yourself with the carving tools 😨

      I’m not very good so I try to pick things with really distinctive and easy to draw body shapes.

      I have to disagree sharply here. Those arthropodes are super cute and I’d say that is very good.

      In my limited experience, a huge part of art is to fit your designs to the chosen medium of expression. Media have their own limitations and figuring out what those are, where your own limitations lie in working with a medium and then choosing to create something that works well within those limitations is part of the deal.

      It seems to me you’re doing exactly that, and judging by your results, you’re doing so successfully. That is, pretty good.

      Only critique I can find is, that your spider seems to have an extra pair of legs. Unless those are supposed to be pedipalps. But maybe you could design those a bit more distinct from the rest.

        Thank you! It’s intended to be a solifuge which are often called “camel spiders” despite not being spiders. I was really struggling with the pedipalps.

          Ah, I get. I had a feeling, I was mansplaining there for a bit. You seem to know your arthropodes.
          But yeah, that’s a tough one.

          I guess it’s a-okay to draw them that way. A casual observer would probably identify those huge pedipalps as legs on the real spider a well.

          And nitpicks aside: it’s a really cute design anyway.

      🙂Sounds like you had fun and the audience had at least one surprise moment, got to learn something and I bet also got to laugh. Seems like you’re adding to people’s lives kid. And I really like the art. Not everything needs to be super intricate and detailed and what not. I believe art exists to spark emotions, and make people stop and think. Not to compare against other art.
