I'm back on tumblr and I'm getting a ton of messages about my wrestler OCs and why I stopped drawing them 🥲 this sounds stupid but I associate a lot of anxiety and painful memories with them ... I've been working on getting over it so I can enjoy drawing them again - ThreadSky

i can relate to and understand this so much 🫂 i hope you're able to reconnect with them and reclaim them for your own sake, but it's such a delight seeing any of your OCs and art, please put yourself first 💖

rennerei.bsky.social•36 days ago

Thank you so much, I appreciate it 🫂❤️ I won't give up on my OCs, if I don't draw them no one will 🧑‍🎨

I know the feeling. Associating OCs with stressful periods if your life sucks so much, it makes working with them anxiety inducing. Im sorry youre dealing with thay

I like your OCs but any art you make is a blessing.

Take your time with trying to rediscover why you created them in the first place? Redesign them so they are more to you right now? Write with those feelings mixed in?

I have a few characters like that as well and I tried to write about them first. ..😅

🙏 i hope you can reconnect joy with them, that sounds rough

rennerei.bsky.social•37 days ago

aw thank you 🥲 you always inspire me when it comes to going full steam ahead with OCs and having fun making stories ❤️

I don't think it sounds stupid at all - whenever I see my own art I can vividly remember painting it and it's like I'm transported back there. Usually that's nice, but if it was a painful time in your life, I 100% get not wanting to be reminded.
I hope you find some peace with your OCs though!

rennerei.bsky.social•37 days ago

thank u Arden 🫂 It's fine nowadays but I'm putting together my little OC artbook for dokomi (I have no idea if I got in yet but I decided to be optimistic 🥳) and it's making me reminisce about the time when I had so much fun drawing them
I wanna rebuild that joy 👩‍🔧

raccuun.bsky.social•37 days ago

While I do miss seeing them as well, you should take care of yourself above all else. I quite like the OCs you're drawing with LadySantos as well! Whether you decide to look forward or bring them back, I hope it brings you happiness.

rennerei.bsky.social•35 days ago

thank u ❤️ fun fact the OC I've been drawing with Lady's is the protagonist of the wrestling story ......... I've been getting back to it 😌

theotimegm.bsky.social•35 days ago

🙏I miss Jae and also, i think her name, Locatelli ? yeah =w=

rennerei.bsky.social•37 days ago

that said I'm grateful for the continued interest 🧎❤️

clar-a-m.bsky.social•37 days ago

I love them a lot, hope you can find joy in them again <3

But also I'm always interested in any other fun things that may come out of your brain. I know you can cook and I appreciate every dish that you make 💕😋

rennerei.bsky.social•36 days ago

Thank you so much ❤️
I'll never stop cooking 👩‍🍳 I hope ur hungry

I wanna say your Megaera fanart is what first put you on my timeline, anything you create is a gift to the rest of the world

gentrigger.com•37 days ago

It do be like that. Thinking about drawing something and being transported back to the last time you were drawing it.

Hope you get to recontextualize it for yourself

bubbleshxc.bsky.social•37 days ago

I don't think that's stupid! Personally i really connect emotionally with the characters I draw, especially ones that are OCs

chip-chipsss.bsky.social•37 days ago

Sorry to hear, hope you can find joy in drawing them again. I do miss them

I loved your wrestler OCs so much because you made me realize how creative and varied they can be and I'm hopeful you can rediscover the full joy of them again 🙏

saltygirafe.bsky.social•35 days ago

I remember them bringing me such joy when I was going through school, but I’ve also struggled to draw OCs because of bad associations. I hope you find the fun in them again ❤️ but if not, hopefully you have new things to enjoy drawing instead! Your fun comes first
