Why am i like this...?
I know i gotta go through them, but looking at old art makes me cringe, and sometimes i get distracted wanting to redraw a character ive scrapped
I will say that after some redraws, some of my old character designs were pretty interesting
Yesterday my buddy noticed i was playing DST, a game I bought and gave him the free code to give to a friend a couple years back.
We proceeded to then spend 30 mins to troubleshoot our mics on discord and then relived the good old days
We didn’t quite make it through winter.... but during the process of continuously trying to gather rocks in what I like to call “GODDAMNED SPIDER COUNTRY” (which is like 3-4 or more spider nests in one area) we both ended up switching from Wendys to Webbers and then got the idea to made a world for spiders, by spiders, and only spiders
Needless to say we weren’t taking the game seriously anymore by this point and I had to revise the world from “lots of spiders” to “more spiders” due to major lag because of the sheer number of spiders
when they aren’t killing you they’re pretty cute
and when they follow you you just hear
As a comic artist with ADHD and major procrastination issues, I felt this
I keep making plans to stick with a really reasonable schedule and I just kinda... don't?
Also anxiety and the overwhelming feeling of inferior art and story writing
But I still love drawing and the characters and stories I make, so I'll just keep pushing ahead
hey! i’m kicking off the #ADHDInvasion hashtag for adhd awareness month with a comic about CONSEQUENCES, and how my lifelong failure to react to them has been a huge source of frustration for me and for the ppl in my life who rely on me. even worse, it makes me seem apathetic or careless to others, when in reality it weighs really heavily on me - i just struggle to show it.
the best way i’ve found to deal with this is accepting that shame-based motivation DOES NOT WORK AT ALL for me (which is hard to do, when it’s all that’s been modeled for you by parents/educators/bosses) and try to replace fear/shame based consequences with positive outcomes: i.e. instead of “everyone will be so disappointed in me if i don’t do this,” sometimes it’s more helpful to think “if i do this on time, i’ll feel so relieved, and everyone will be happy that i pulled through.”
check out the roster here and make sure you don’t miss the comics from all the other artists participating!

Alright! This is the last of the two doodles I did the other day.
It’s ridiculously fun and easy to draw Bill making stupid jokes
Yay I finished it!
Thank you to demiannc for this request, it was a lot of fun to make!
I hope that my internet will let me post this because the wind outside is making the power in my house flicker ^-^’
So when I posted this just a little while ago, I did so on my phone. Nearly the moment I hit post, my phone decided to lose its fucking mind, in which I had to remove the battery to fix it.
Coincidence?
My mother, my brother, and I have all gotten ourselves addicted to living on an island with little animals that can talk
I love owls, and these two have won my heart
Let me know if you want me to make more doodles
Hi, I'm Illy the Mad Artist! I love art, writing, and the characters and stories I make. I have anxiety, and I really would like to get as many opinions and critiques as possible, so please, PLEASE, ask me if you are going to post my work on other sites, and PLEASE credit if you do. The work I do is VERY important to me, and I want to share this with you guys. I don't really like reblogging things, so pretty much all of my posts are my stuff. I will accept critiques, however I will not accept hate (they are two completely different things). Please be kind, and if you wanna talk about or ask me anything, I'm pretty open most of the time. ^-^
