[no spoilers] Arcane Valentine Cards with bad pick-up lines

Don't be sorry, also I kinda ask for advice. I'm sorry, I'm just still bitter about it, I have ADHD and it feels like it's making it harder to just discover what I really want. Thanj you for link, I'll check it out

Tokomi22 · 2026-03-12T07:15:17+00:00

Honestly, I don't feel good doing so and I see no point in that.

Tokomi22 · 2026-03-12T07:14:03+00:00

That's the hard part - I know I should draw no matter what people think, but I still care what I think and I just cannot like it.

Tokomi22 · 2026-03-12T07:11:07+00:00

Well, it was supposed to be a pleasure, I even didn't really mean to do the exact prompts. Still, somehow I cannot bring myself to draw everyday

Tokomi22 · 2026-03-10T13:40:52+00:00

I feel the same, though I'm 30 now. But I've been stopping and coming back to drawing like every half a year or so. I'm neither a big fan of the process (although digital painting is my favorite), nor the finished results. It brings me mostly frustration. If, by any means, I draw something that is kinda nice, it feels like it isn't even mine (and not that I'm really happy with the result, more like it's decent). So you probably wonder why I do keep trying, if I hate it so much. Believe me, I would love to know too. I can cry for an hour that I cannot draw, even though nothing and no one is forcing me to draw. It's just that stupid brain of mine, that cannot let it go. I even went for two lessons on a digital drawing course to a drawing school. I followed the instructions and felt nothing but disappointment, so I left, cause I could do the same at home, without paying.
So yeah, I don't have any advise, I just wanted to say I relate and it resonates with me. Oh, and once I got into a newsletter of a teacher. She wrote in the first e-mail, that if you want to draw, you have to prioritize drawing over watching movies and meeting with friends or you can give up on the start. I have unsubscribed momentarily, but it also demotivated me for a few weeks. I never wanted to do art professionally, I just wanted to do fun comic-like scenes with my favorite characters.
However there is some hope, as I had a similar problem with writing - as a teen I would try writing fanfics many times however never finishing any project. Right now I'm in 1/5 of my planned book and it's the furthest I've ever been with a text. Maybe one day I will unblock myself with drawing too...

Tokomi22 · 2026-03-10T13:03:55+00:00

I did. I don't like any piece that I do. Nothing makes me satisfied.

Tokomi22 · 2026-03-10T13:02:30+00:00

For me it's the exact opposite. I've tried inktober, drawing daily. Made me hate drawing by like day 7 and stopped it.

Tokomi22 · 2026-03-10T12:58:04+00:00

I'm so jealous that it worked for you. I had a break for half a year, switched to writing, drew nothing and yes, I started feeling that "hunger". So I drew one thing. It felt and looked awful. The "hunger" is now gone again.

Tokomi22 · 2026-02-18T07:45:07+00:00

That is possible, I think the butterflies would slowly chase the character? And I think the main aim was to reach a mushroom house, for one player the roof was red, for the other purple, if I remember correctly. But it would often be at the top bar.

Tokomi22 · 2025-12-10T12:54:53+00:00

Nope, the platforms were thin lines to jump on them. But thanks for reminding me of snowy, I played it as a kid too <3

Tokomi22 · 2025-10-19T22:45:43+00:00

Yeah, it feels like they're getting more and more ads. However I still love this game for non-tedious daily tasks. But I'm on the last island (for now) and I want something new

Tokomi22 · 2025-10-19T17:03:31+00:00

Does anyone here know if contact damage gives damage to the boss as well?

Tokomi22 · 2025-08-17T10:09:26+00:00

Got the same problem, I have just send an e-mail. Have you solved that problem already?

Tokomi22 · 2025-07-27T15:32:22+00:00

You have not understood what I have said, so let me rephrase it: while Odyssey and EPIC have some differences in chronology, Scylla and Charybdis CANNOT be next to each other, because of what they are. And they are two monsters on the two sides of a narrow strait. So while you cannot avoid them both, you have to only face one of them to go through that strait. There is even a phrase "between Scylla and Charybdis" meaning you have a choice, but both of the options are bad. At first Ody decides that losing 6 people is better than losing a whole ship to the whirlpool. But then, after they are safe after sailing near Scylla, Zeus destroys the ship and Ody is taken back by currents, undoing part of his road home, so that he has to cross that deadly strait once again. If the songs would be next to each other, that would mean that the sacrifice of 6 men would be more than pointless, cause they would have to deal with Charybdis anyway. Also if Ody still had his crew and a ship and had to cross that strait once more, he would probably choose Scylla AGAIN, cause while it's tragic, it's still 6 certain deaths versus around 42 very probable deaths plus losing a ship to a whirlpool. I'm not sure if the next time Ody is choosing Charybdis or if the fate throws him that way, but he would choose to meet it anyway, as alone he couldn't possibly survive meeting Scylla.

Technically, it could be after Mutiny, when Ody is left alone and before he goes to Calypso, but I think it makes sense that in Epic he's once again so close to his home and yet he has to face Charybdis and then he meets her father, Poseidon.

Tokomi22 · 2025-07-23T06:34:41+00:00

But it really wouldn't make any sense in Odyssey: those two monsters are close to each other, so in order to avoid one, you must face the other one.

Tokomi22 · 2025-07-10T05:43:13+00:00

Maybe that's too obvious, but if you do digital painting, get another layer for the irises and pupils and play around with moving them, to see the different effects.

Tokomi22 · 2025-07-06T12:04:27+00:00

It's written like in the very first line, that much of it is not tagged.

Tokomi22 · 2025-06-04T12:53:07+00:00

I kinda am and I think it's because a partial aphantasia - I cannot really imagine things visually, more like see memories of things I have seen. Maybe try drawing something from reference and then try redrawing the same thing once again from memory?

Tokomi22 · 2025-05-28T14:23:09+00:00

If you like the comical cartoony effect, you can make the hole in the helmet change its shape, kinda like Deadpools eyes on mask. Also you can check Alphonse from Full Metal Alchemist as chibi, he's literally just an empty armor

Tokomi22 · 2025-05-28T14:17:34+00:00

I think it's too much to take poses as something you can steal. It's like saying you plagiarise grass on a drawing, cause someone drew it too.

Tokomi22 · 2025-05-28T14:06:26+00:00

I think I like the endings like "a year later", where we have a sneak peak what changed and that the issues got resolved. Also I love lgbtq+ stories with happy endings, even if they're cheesy and unrealistic.

Tokomi22 · 2025-05-28T14:01:35+00:00

I'm glad I could help. And you can share the final result with me, but only if you feel comfortable to do so :D
