I find it amusing that every form of art has that "rite of passage" that sucks. Like Painters accidentally drinking their paint water, digital artists dealing with a file corruption/software crash on a major project, and every sculptor I know has some kind of injury story they can laugh about later - ThreadSky

I usually say it wasn't an injury, it was me using my DNA as a document of authenticity for the item.. after I sliced my hand by accident...

D: All of the above.

As a digital artist, can vouch for the file getting corrupted.

Or the program crashing right as you go to save...

The musician equivalent is accidentally plugging/unplugging a speaker wrong, creating the loudest fucking noise you've ever heard

I ctrl + z on paper a few times.

My Horoboros fan art's .xcf file didn't save and all I got is a greenish blob from when I started.

Lost painted textures due to Blender's weird method of saving texture paint. And yes, there are the corrupted model files.

I contracted blood poisoning when I was 12 og 13 from always having my hands smeared with pencil graphite.

Starting digital art I feel like an imposter already cause I have an organized file backup scheme with lots of redundancy. I'll never be a real artist losing work Q.Q

As a writer, I have one. Losing some progress made on a story written digitally due to unforeseen issues.

Sculptor rites of passage; dropping it on the ground...

Bonus if it was carpet and picked up every little dirt and fibre 😩

(This has happened to me before lol)

Digital art + accidentally doing the lineart on the same layer as the sketch
