That is what I've been trying to tell you all 😭 you never know if one day your artist oshi or potential client might look in your profile just to find it is cluttered with things other than art.

If you don't care, thats fine. If you do, you might want to change how you reply.

My returning clients are amazing, but some of them return so many times, I worry about their finances 😭

I need to talk about how freakin crazy Varka's design is because his character designer knows what they are doing.

ADHD as a VTuber is not “haha I got distracted.”

It’s the stuff people don’t see. Starting late. Dropping a plan you were excited about 10 minutes ago. Opening OBS, then suddenly fixing folders, the model, a thumbnail, and realizing you were supposed to be live already. Hyperfocusing on Warframe for hours and then having nothing left for replies, art, or the next stream. Making a schedule so your brain has a track to follow… then your brain yeets the track.

I want to talk about one part that hits hard and a lot of people still treat like a joke:

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. RSD.

RSD is when your brain treats rejection, criticism, or even the idea of someone being disappointed like an emergency. Not “aw that sucked.” More like your chest drops, your thoughts start racing, and your whole body goes into “I messed everything up.”

It can come from a quiet chat. A stream with low numbers. Someone not answering. A collab that didn’t happen. One comment that sits in your head for days. To other people it looks small. To an ADHD brain it can feel huge.

As a VTuber that gets ugly fast, because you put your face, voice, art, and time out in public. Then your brain starts writing stories. “They didn’t show up because I suck.” “That one message means everybody’s tired of me.” “If I go live and it’s dead, I should just stop.”

Sometimes nobody even rejected you. Your brain just filled in the silence and called it proof. That’s the trap. Silence feels like a verdict.

What RSD is not: being dramatic on purpose. An excuse to attack chat. A reason to never take feedback.What it is: an emotional spike that can be way bigger than the moment. Shame that hits fast. The urge to disappear, over-explain, or never try again. A lot of us don’t look “sad.” We look busy, quiet, jokey, or gone.

If you watch streamers, this is the part I want people to understand. Low view nights happen. Delayed replies happen. Someone needing space happens. That does not automatically mean the person failed, the community hates them, or they should be ashamed for existing on stream.

If you have RSD, one cold comment can outweigh 20 kind ones. That’s not logic. That’s the wiring. If you’re the viewer: don’t diagnose people in replies. Don’t say “just don’t take it personal.” Don’t pile on when someone is already spiraling. If you want to help, be clear. Be normal. Don’t turn a late start into a referendum on their worth. A “glad you’re here” does more than a paragraph of advice.

If you have this too: you’re not broken for feeling it that loud. You also don’t have to obey the first story your brain writes.

For me the work is simpler schedules, going live even when confidence is at 10%, not turning every quiet night into “I should quit,” and remembering one stream is one stream. Not my whole value.

Still here. Still streaming. Still figuring it out.🦇

I think artists forgot entirely they had clients and have become so obsessed with the process they didn't realize the people waiting 2 years for a basic commission were getting fed up with them.

It's super cute you think of art in this "enjoy the process" way, but enjoying thy process doesn't pay the bills or get clients their work by the deadline.

[reekya @reekyeha]

for my artists who need a visual guide for cutting models!! here is some basic cutting + examples :D

[𝗞𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗛𝗔 🌘🍀 𝟯𝗗 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁 ☻ @kariha_moon5]

after receiving an extremely disappointing low effort rushed skeb from a reputable artist, it feels SO incredibly ecstatic to receive a masterpiece (also skeb) from a much smaller artist next at the exact same price point…

the difference in work ethics is literally so stark… i can’t stop staring at the art cus it’s so so so good it actually heals my broken heart from feeling disrespected by the previous artist HAHAHjxjdjajsb

[KodaRoo @KodaWasntHere]

@LukaDerg and they still accept more commissions on top of yours 🫩

[Tig @TemporalTiger]

@LukaDerg I'd rather an artist tell me they haven't been motivated to draw recently and will continue working on it as soon as they're feeling better than make up some bs stories about their mother's sister's boyfriend's uncle's mailman's dog getting run over

izin qrt ya kakk!😊

kalau aku cara yg ngebantu itu check in sketch digabung sama rough color (kalau workloadnya memungkinkan). kasarnya kayak, ini cms mau dibawa kemana?

jadi client ngga perlu 'ngeraba' karena goalnya udah ada!

[Lyuba @multihusband_ho]

I’m usually not one to criticize authors for the direction they choose to take their stories or how they write them but what happened with Cherry Blossoms After Winter genuinely makes me not just angry but disappointed (+)

[Eulyy 🌷 @Euly_y]

I've been taking notes:

-Make a new group for 2D and 3D Animation
- Probably slowly move the doc to another site instead of Google docs (because Google's AI policy sucks)

I've also received a lot of new sites to add, so I'll slowly check them and add them to the doc!

[Nana - Busy @nana_mya26]

Bener
Sedikit tips:
- Laminasi glossy bikin warna makin cerah/mentereng
- Laminasi doff bikin warna jadi rada muted, tapi masih terang kalem gitu
- Laminasi holo bikin warna jadi lebih gelap

Tinggal disesuaikan mau hasil akhir yg kayak gimana. Amannya yaa testprint dulu si

[m.k.h_art @mk8h_art]

well a lot of tutorial I've seen use the head for measurements. i honestly still haven't 100% sure either, it depends on your character too, some will have big, small or even uneven proportions. hope you can find an artist that can answer this questions of yours🐇🌹

🙇 also I’ll do BW/Grayscale Drawpile sketches once again, please dm for interest. It’ll just be knees up for $100 (1 character)

For a simple sketchpage of this kind it can be discussed in DMs! 🙇 just trying to save money for future medical expenses.

not reading so you won’t be influenced by others’ thoughts/styles is so silly because i mean, if you don’t read (everything you can!) you won’t develop thoughts/a style worth reading and, even sadder, you’re missing out on the very long, very weird conversation that literature is
