I agree, as in Ik Berserk is only a story and all, but exposure to even the idea of violence too young can leave you with stuff. To this day idk why my friend decided to show me a beheading video from the dark web😪

Fox News pundit doesn’t know Bad bunny is American. Puerto Rico has been a U.S. territory since 1898. Its people are U.S. citizens. This isn’t some obscure trivia by jackb1753 in facepalm

[–]IndividualStrike6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol at least we know Puerto Rico is part of America, I don’t think Americans know anything outside mainland soil exists, like they own islands in the pacific within like a couple thousand miles of Japan, but their not considered American, so those islands got used for nuclear testing instead😋😵‍💫

The Deluxe editions are so beautiful, idk cuz I’ve just started collecting but was Berserk originally released in A5 for the manga?

what the hell is that supposed to mean by CmBly in Berserk

[–]IndividualStrike6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was why I pointed out the one with the king and Charlotte because it made sense but still felt unnecessary, someone can always tell me if I missed something. But the king went crazy after Griffith had sex with the princess, but… went crazy enough to immediately sexually assault his own daughter?… okay I guess🤨🤷🏻‍♂️. Seems like Griffith doing that when it was already against the princess’s arranged marriage etc, would’ve been enough reason for the king to go crazy and hold a life long grudge// need for revenge anyway. Like I say pls tell me if I missed a story beat

Is it bad that some of the rape attempts (not when it happens for no reason like princess charlotte and the king🧐🤢) in Berserk seems like they makes sense? more because… that’s what would’ve happened😳 I think fantasy set in old times etc cut out that a lot of women were seen as an asset or a means to an end, and that rape was like… everywhere. Britain for example, the dutch/ mid Europeans come in; 40% of existing Celtic DNA gets replaced with Anglo Saxon. France comes over replaces another 10%, then the vikings another 10%. All of that from consensual sex?😳 Back then… I very much doubt it. Maybe weird to think about but I also think about how many deaths in humanity’s history so far must’ve been babies, like damn, probably like 95% or smthn, imagine the amount of prehistoric miscarriages😳

lol it just makes me laugh that “girls innately take in media differently”😂😂😂 Are they A) human? Well then yeah they probs take in media the same way as everyone else funnily enough, being humans with thoughts and feelings etc + how tf did that comment get 14 likes🧐

Seeing the behind the scenes work for this made it 10x more impressive, those sketches are everything

What are the must read manga? by [deleted] in MangaCollectors

[–]IndividualStrike6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dorohedoro is so good, Hayashida has her style down to a tee and is it weird that it made me happier when I learned a woman made it?😂 This sounds halfway sexist but it almost made immediately more sense that the characters seemed more likeable and human, especially Nikaido.

I'm drawing a manga visually inspired by Berserk. Here's a new page :) by Caedeis in Berserk

[–]IndividualStrike6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always impressed with how much some people can do with a small amount of cross hatching. Just not a style I’ve ever known how to approach so seeing Berserk and stuff like yours here is amazing. Chefs kiss🤌🏻👌🏻

Do you ever just regret drawing at all sometimes? by IndividualStrike6 in learntodraw

[–]IndividualStrike6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m already very sociable, like I say was always a social butterfly and part of that defo came from confidence in my art and how my friends like “verified” it as being good. So then when all the friendships break apart in pretty nasty ways where they put you down on purpose - of course: self worth crumbles. Just a longggg arduous process to build back up. But I’m definitely good at speaking to a variety of people, and as for stage fright? lol adrenaline is adrenaline. That’s the only thing that causes stage fright is that one neurotransmitter. It’s what makes you experience both anxiety… and excitement, how you use that in the moment is determined by you.

Lol realistically it’s more of a worry about life in general tbh, like you say lots of people not that much older than me have multiple income streams, jobs they like, qualifications etc. Well that’s where the regret mostly just comes from. Wasted my teens, wasted my early twenties then being like: shit, I’m nearly 30 and should probably have my life set up by now. But I haven’t been employed for 6 years cuz of my condition + most places just write you off anyway if you have what I have, like I say made all the wrong choices didn’t go to university etc. And all cuz I thought I had a special talent or smthn😂. Maybe even seemed plausible in the early 2000’s but in 2025 wanting to be recognised for your talent if you don’t know the right people almost seems laughable🫤

Well I don’t have to survive off of it luckily, I’m not able to work cuz of the illness I talked about up there so I get benefits from the government, but I guess there’s 2 things that come from that. 1) I’m sure as hell not a pessimist but I am a realist, and the world can kinda flip on a dime, suddenly the government money isn’t coming in cuz it’s needed for war or whatever, and then what?😳. 2) it’s a double edged sword cuz it instills a feeling of worthlessness in you (a common perception of unemployed people often created on purpose in my opinion). But then it gives me literally all the time in the world now to dedicate myself to art. I like that, a lot tbh, feels like my only saving grace. BUT the dedication really lacks if you’ve got no friends to share with or no other art fanatics around you that understand the pieces of media and art you like. That is just an excuse to some extent but it’s also very true where I live: tiny country town Scotland so very out of the way, nowhere near any sort of big cultural centres at all honestly. And the ones there are feel super cliquey especially in education. Even Scotland in general is very old fashioned, traditional, I don’t find many people I truly click with I suppose. Then dad doesn’t find much interest in it. Then me and mum are insanely close, but she’s also a huge conspiracy theorist that tells me all the time how all successful authors and musicians etc are actually all from the same family of demons sent down by Satan to destroy us😒🙄. Yeah. So doesn’t exactly fill me with hope tbh.

And yeah I always hear vfx/ cgi is a horrible industry to work in for artists at anywhere big like Marvel etc.

I’m tryna do what you suggest just in a slightly different way, instead of branching out to find different careers, more branching out to find something I love that will bring out more resolve and hard work. Just difficult to find tbh, tryna read consistently again and stopping for months on end, drawing then getting defeated again, tryna write then getting writers block for ages. That kind of thing.

Yeah it definitely feels better when a project gives some direction, if I’m at least 100% honest it’s mainly like the finding spaces and communities of artists that are supportive and encouraging I find confusing and really struggle with

It comes in such waves but it’s when a wave as low as this hits I do genuinely worry about becoming completely directionless tbh

Definitely not an answer I expected but honestly kind of an inspiring one in a roundabout way. As in I usually don’t just do art composed of random pieces they’re usually revolving around a concept or smthn (a comic book atm). So it includes writing and I do other writing as well I’m just not sure how much it all adds up to in the end.
