This was my "I made that" for last week. It's some Greek puns on logos for a Set Design exam. They're supposed to become ad posters and props in a very hypothetical and definitely academic Hercules remake.
It's the simplest, silliest thing but my teacher loved it and I'm really proud.
People are rightfully upset at the rollout and pervasive use of AI in replacing creators, but I am happy that I have found a way to use AI to provide me with deep analysis of my own work. It's reminded me of the love sweat and tears I've poured into my stories, and buoyed my confidence to write more
Your comparing apples to oranges.
Don’t worry.
The art we create doesn’t matter as much as the fact we are creating something.
There are all sorts of art. Make them all
I have a few that this applies to! These turned out so good to me, the one with the moon being the first I felt really proud of. Not that I don't love the rest of my art though :3
Art isn't my primary thing, more a side hobby I dabble in. But I've gotten to a point where every once in a while I can do that and mean it. They ain't up there with the pros. But for a lil bearded weirdo with a funky voice and meatloaf breath?
I don't typically mount my own work in my home. Instead I display amazing work of friends and colleagues. I just moved into my new home and studio in Guanajuato Mexico and I did mount a couple of my pieces. I'm glad I did. They inspire.
Thankfully, for us, we were fortunate to tour for several years, band is still touring but I am not in it any longer, and play some pretty cool festivals.
Mad respect to painting miniatures. Photos make them seem much bigger but then you see it irl and I'm like 'how did they capture the detail and lighting so precisely on something so small!?'
Being a semi-perfectionist in my past life writing/producing audio advertising, comedy bits and the like, it was hard to “finish” a project. Deadlines were my savior. That “sigh of contentment” and satisfaction made all the hard work and effort worth it! It gave me purpose, meaning and desire.
I know it looks like garbage, but I haven't drawn regularly in almost a decade and I'm just coming back to doing it regularly. I need to figure out how I will do hands.
Nah! I look at it and think about the next one to do. Sometimes I ponder if I should gesso over it and create something new. Its the work we do not the end result that drives us. Although it would be nice to sell so we can afford supplies.
Just found out today what a talented artist my 19yo is. She draws/sketches. I was blown away. Of course, she brushed it off. One day, she'll sigh w/a content 'I made that'. I hope I'm around to see that, too.
Sometimes I look back at my wedding photography, and I see some stunning photos, and I'm like, wait, who took THAT?! Then I recall doing the editing. It's a wonderful feeling.
I do that! Unfortunately it's fanfiction and I can't make a nickel off it, or even share it with people who don't aren't familiar with the show it's from. The best thing I've ever written I can't ever publish. :-(
It makes me so happy that I do this with almost everything now, and I wish that for everyone! Including hobbyist. You should all be proud to put something new into the world, no matter how good you think it is!!
I’m not sure content is the correct word, as that feeling is not really in my repertoire, though occasionally I am hit with deep amazement and that drives me to tomorrow.
I love this sentiment deeply! I truly savor those moments, especially when I’m creating nourishment that tastes incredible. But same with singing, lightwork, all my creative spaces. Best moments in life.
It’s a tough one.
I’m proud of all of the stuff I make but there is always something I want to change.
Part of it is that I only paint Alla Prima. I do not go back and re-work anything.
I find that if I go back and refine stuff after it’s dried it kills the spark.
For instance
A-fuck’n-men
I figure art is like a joke - if you have to explain it, it didn’t work.
If you need words to explain a visual medium you failed.
I mean feel free to verbalize how it makes you feel but don’t impose that meaning on someone else.
I've been saying that a lot lately, the pages for my second graphic novel have all been bangers. This is the first 4 of the 6 page prologue. I'm especially pleased with page 1 here, I love purely visual storytelling.
CW some blood/gore
i hope i reach that point, i only have one so far that makes me smile and it was a gift for a long time friend!!
but my personal works? not so much yet
It will expand, and I'm glad there's one you can turn to. I like to remember that the work you make could have only been made by you. Nobody else had your thoughts and feelings when making your work, nobody else moves the pen with the same intent. It's uniquely yours and you learn to love that.
i still think i do so badly :( but i wish i got to a point where i could look at it, and think i finally did good, even though i can't shade, i have heck of a time with people, and can't even do gradients properly.
If you want to get better at those things you can.
I suggest setting aside a couple hours a week. Put down the phone and make bad art for a bit.
You won’t notice anything at first but after a couple months of it you’ll see a difference. I did anyway.
Good luck
I did that with a piece I drew while eating at Bob’s Big Boy this past weekend, paying homage to David Lynch.
I got done and just smiled.
Then I left it at the shrine outside the diner. ✌🏼

It is balanced out by the number I go, "I am horrible!"

sighhh.. i made that =]!
One day, another piece of mine might stir my emotions more but, for the moment, this does that for me.

It makes me feel really weird when I realise today, I am.
Yeah. I can be proud of some of my doodles.
Modeled and rendered in Cinema 4D, my first real attempt at photo realism.
Yes, that is a magical feeling.

A boss I once had quipped "laurels turn to compost." It keeps me moving forward. :)

Compared to the other beautiful things on this thread, it's not all that.
But I'm very proud.
