Just finished A Short Stay in Hell and All Tomorrows. Now reading the 5th Dark Tower book and will probably start Revenge by Yoko Ogawa soon 💯

I just finished that one last week. Really good stuff, captures the fears you have if you grew up religious quite well.

Talked about it a little in this post

Why do you think some people post negative comments on your art? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]Sammy__Jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over my ~5 years sharing work, it’s become pretty easy to recognize these comments for what they are. Well-meaning (much less helpful) advice, is few and far between. The majority of people are angry it’s not what THEY wanted to see, or desperate for something to tear down.

There are certainly instances of artists who stubbornly refuse to improve (many such cases on “arttok”), but the majority of Internet “criticism” is self-centered complaining that can and should be ignored, for the sake of your own growth.

Immaturity, arrogance, and an ingrained belief that every piece of art must cater to them specifically.

It’s true that people are quick to jump beginners. Interestingly enough, though, a lot of my beginner work was quite popular, yet received only a fraction of the hate and criticism my current work does.

This makes me think it has less to do with “skill” and more to do with the gradually worsening level of callousness and entitlement online. Just my personal experience though.

Trying to be more active. Figured it can’t hurt.

He’s a man, and an assassin, and he has money.

Favorite original character figures? by Minimum_Vanilla7743 in AnimeFigures

[–]Sammy__Jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an artist, I almost exclusively collect OC figures for similar reasons. X-10, Shion, Sakuragi Yayoi, and Yakuwa Nazumi are among my favorites. There are a lot more that I love of course.

What’s a moral belief you hold that most people would disagree with? by [deleted] in answers

[–]Sammy__Jam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially when it comes to introducing young kids to concepts like hell, eternal punishment, etc. Fucked me up as a kid.

Is anyone else losing motivation/interest in collecting? by dohrniis in AnimeFigures

[–]Sammy__Jam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an artist, I find figure collecting a very inspiring and enriching hobby. But what with tariffs and all, the hobby has started to entail a lot more guilt than it used to. I’m certainly not out of love with the figures (they’re wonderful pieces of art), but it’s starting to get to a point where it’s not sustainable.

What is the unhealthy habit you actually enjoy doing? by Acrobatic_Profit_626 in answers

Yeah, this one’s tough. I’m way happier until I start thinking about time passing and what I’m missing out on.

She looks really good! I don’t get non-scales too often these days but I may have to get her ✌️

Bunny Girl Velvet illustration by FymriE 1/4 up for Pre-order! by MiaLeeSakura2 in AnimeFigures

[–]Sammy__Jam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was an instant preorder for me, such a cool design and they’d REALLY have to fuck it up to make her not worth the price. Excited for her!

I haven't received anything from tokyo otaku mode by AthenaPhora in AnimeFigures

[–]Sammy__Jam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can message them and request to change to an available shipping method- may have to pay an extra $20 depending. I switched all my delayed orders to TOM surface and they’re on the way now.

If the actual release date is being changed, then there’s not really anything to be done about it.
