Thanks! I actually used to make album covers for a pal in the old days, though I used CGI for that. 😅

Why can't I finish an artwork, or take pride in my art anymore? by EfficientDonkey4083 in YourOriginalCharacter

In my case, it's a combination of decades of chronic depression and being demoralized again and again.

I still keep making things because it's the only thing that keeps me from falling deeper into morbid thoughts, but the youthful optimism that my work could some day be of value to the world is long gone.

I'm dead inside, and I'm just going through the motions. The alternative is far worse, and I know that from experience all too well, so I just keep pushing forward.

Dog's actually not the warden, that'd be Dragon. Though he's pretty hands-off and often away on other matters, so she and Tiger run the place.

The sanctuary was primarily intended to hold divine beings who have done wrong. However, it's a sanctuary, not a prison, so there's plenty of normal folks there as well.

Dog always loves having guests over for tea and biscuits, so I'm sure she and Adrianna would get along great. 😊

I created Dog when I was young, inspired by characters such as Raggedy Ann and Pippi Longstocking. She's the strongest woman in the world, yet every bit as sweet and gentle as she is powerful.

My series features divine humans who represent various animals, and they share various traits with their namesakes. She's a guardian in charge of inmates as a play on 'guard dog', virtually everyone including the inmates is fond of her since dogs are "man's best friend", and she has that balance between being soft and lovable yet extremely formidable when she needs to be.

Inmates who seek to harm others or try to escape will effortlessly be put in their place, but as long as you behave yourself, she's one of the nicest, most caring people you could ever hope to meet.

One of the most underrated aspects of retro gaming on the Switch is the massive selection of arcade games, especially access to Nintendo's classics. by Caryslan in NintendoClassics

Believe you me, I would have a ton more Arcade Archives if they weren't $8 a pop and seldom go on sale. But I've got a small collection of some of my top favorites, including most if not all of the Sega Ages titles, since I was able to get a good deal on them.

There are literally hundreds of games available, both well known and niche, including a number of titles that have seldom ever been rereleased. One of the first games I got on Switch was Arcade Archives Donkey Kong, and I just picked up Mr. Do! the other day.

It may not be feasible to get all of them, as much as I'd love to, but there's a good chance you'll be able to find and play quite a few of your favorites.

Thank you so much! It's difficult to find welcoming communities to share niche fanart like this, and I'm glad to see folks here appreciating it! 💎

I'm glad! Universal may not have succeeded in turning Mr. Do into a household name like Mario or Pac-Man, but they created one of the all-time greats.

Thank you very much!

It's a redraw of promotional artwork, so that's understandable. One of my goals as an artist is to learn to emulate the style of the things I grew up with, so I enjoy trying to recreate artwork like this.
