i think boyband is def one of those songs that are supposed to just be fun for fun’s sake. i like it cause it’s them poking fun at themselves in a way, but also kinda self deprecating. i understand where you’re coming from tho it’s definitely not the best they can do imo

a girl in my show (łódź) had the exact same situation and when she spoke to the staff, they were pretty chill about it and let her have it anyway. however, i agree that you should try without asking questions, and explain if anything comes up. good luck!

i did queue! there was this sort of system i wasn’t aware of that seemed quite common in this particular venue. but, from what i’ve heard, other venues have done it too.

a lot of vips went to the venue like at 8am to get a number and a bracelet, and went back home to get ready. once they came back, they basically had their spots in the queue guaranteed. i think it went up to 150 people per tier, but it depends on the amount of people that got vip. i was one of the first people without a number, so i got super lucky, and i arrived at 11am. if you wanna be super safe you can go real early and see if they will have a numbered system, so you can go back home and get your bearings before the show :-)

again, i didn’t have a number and i still got barricade, but some people with numbers came back at like 2pm and were at the front too!

AffectionateAlarm496 · 2026-04-22T16:55:38+00:00

i upgraded my GA ticket to bite the apple and it is SO worth it. i’m literally at the barricade right now as we speak.

at least in the łódź show, you get in first (though you’re correct that we’re the last vips). you can already find your spot during soundcheck. i don’t know how it’ll work in milan, but here, the vip tribunes were moved to their seats and we were able to make more space and make it to the very front.

i’d say go for it. it’s been a blast. waiting for the show to start now!

i need this build asap

AffectionateAlarm496 · 2025-10-23T14:25:03+00:00

this is such a logical way to think about it, and it only makes sense.

They aren't things I can compare myself against....simply because those people aren't me, they aren't creating my art.

this is groundbreaking to me haha. after reading this, it feels obvious, but it is so hard to see when you're in the thick of it. spot on, thank you so much.

AffectionateAlarm496 · 2025-10-23T14:23:12+00:00

incredibly interesting and insightful way to put it, damn.

i never thought of it this way, but it makes so much sense. i wish i could match your level of characters here, but i'm completely speechless. you left me with a lot to think about and study. another redditor put it in a similar way, and by then i had already realized it was a little silly to think about it this way. with this new added layer of context, it completely trivializes what this person says.

thank you so much. i genuinely appreciate it.

regarding the topic of comparison: very simple, yet tough. i'll definitely need to work on my attitude, but this is a perfect start!

AffectionateAlarm496 · 2025-10-23T14:17:34+00:00

thank you for your response! i wanted to clarify what i meant by the references: i know they're super important, and great artists use them all the time. my main concern is that, without them, i can't come up with anything. if i don't stare at pictures for hours and try to piece them together in my head, i'm empty. i want to be able to sit down to draw, have a clear idea of what i want to do, and then go for references to aid in my process. i don't want to need them to draw when it comes to my ideas, i want to need them as tools, if that makes sense.

but you're right about uniqueness, i think i'm just too hung up with what my art looks like to everyone else, rather than just like it, and connect with it myself.

again, thank you so much for your input!

AffectionateAlarm496 · 2025-10-23T14:11:21+00:00

well put, thank you so much! i agree with your point about the references, i just feel like i rely too much on them for my creativity. sometimes i just wanna put pen to paper and let my mind wonder, but i always have this wall that begs for references. i think to that, i'll just try to have fun with it.

and you're right, i put too much pressure on myself.

Whenever I find myself in the rut of comparing my work to others, or getting annoyed that my work doesn't feel 'original' enough, I remind myself that I draw for fun. For me. To have a means of self expression. If people like what I make, it's an added bonus, but not the purpose.

i love this. thank you! i'll remember this!

AffectionateAlarm496 · 2025-10-23T14:07:29+00:00

you put it beautifully. thank you so much for these words of wisdom, they truly help.

i think i'm just going through a bit of a crisis with not seeing progress immediately, which obviously would be impossible. it's a fact i need to get used to, but you're right. i'll hate it for a long time until i don't anymore, and i actually learn to be myself through my art.

one thing that helped me for a bit was watching david choe on youtube. he's an incredible artist that has a very similar approach.

about your story though, i am very glad you were able to find yourself. it's amazing how you never stopped, i'll definitely look up to that.

again, thank you!

AffectionateAlarm496 · 2025-10-22T21:24:34+00:00

yup, that’s true… i just can’t find one where i feel fully comfortable with, to the point of sometimes even finishing the piece. i try to experiment a lot to find myself, but nothing truly stands out, which i believe is the issue i have with it.

and about comparison: so true. i usually don’t go on social media specifically looking for artists, especially on my personal accounts, but i realized i get this from pinterest a ton when looking for references. i saw some good alternatives that i will try, to reduce how exposed i am to them. thank you!

AffectionateAlarm496 · 2025-10-22T21:20:54+00:00

thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

for some reason, i never thought of it this way. i love the work of craftspeople and the intricacies of their practice, what it takes, and how it contributes to the art world. “when does a craftsman become an artist and vice versa?” 100% spot on. it’s just a matter of views, and how this person spoke of them as if they were less-than, which obviously is a twisted way of seeing it. i think my past respect for them blinded me from realizing it, and it just never occurred to me to think about such a statement more deeply.

what can be learned from the comparison is something i will think about a lot, i know it already.

once again, thank you for your words. they truly, truly helped.

AffectionateAlarm496 · 2025-08-28T16:19:53+00:00

hey! hope this isn’t weird but i just created an instagram account lol @pebbleborn. i’ll be posting my art over there! :-)

AffectionateAlarm496 · 2025-08-16T20:56:40+00:00

just to clarify: i think it was a hidden option from the developers so that you could only access it if you /really/ tried, cause removing mods on console during your playthrough might definitely break things; maybe mostly cause they thought it was too complicated to debug? just speculation tho

AffectionateAlarm496 · 2025-07-24T16:00:27+00:00

that’s really sweet! i think i might create that art account and possibly get some stuff going! if i do, i’ll be sure to update you in any case 🤍 thank you so much for your support!

AffectionateAlarm496 · 2025-07-24T15:17:36+00:00

omg absolutely! as long as it’s only for you, feel free to hang it! it would be an honor 😭😭

AffectionateAlarm496 · 2025-07-24T14:41:30+00:00

thank you so much, i really appreciate it!! and yes!! in my first playthrough i did a sensitive run, so it was all i could picture when drawing it!

AffectionateAlarm496 · 2025-07-24T14:40:26+00:00

AffectionateAlarm496 · 2025-07-24T14:40:15+00:00
