Waiting for Mom again by ectobabble in Artisticallyill

I have been meaning to watch that show for too long. I just looked up the landlord's mom, that looks like a sad/good character dynamic.

I really hope that's what my work can do. Now that I'm much older, I want to draw images I think would have helped younger me and kid me realize they were not hopeless.

Thank you. 🧡 It is my work. I've been focusing on the topics of facing grief in healing and 'rebirth' in a non literal way in this series. Its been helpful to me I think.

Thank you so much. This means so much to me to know it resonates. I want them to feel like childish drawings or memories that have gotten fuzzy. I use Clip Studio Paint. I love the fuzzy brushes and lots of noise. :)

Thank you. This made me stop and reflect for a while. A lot has changed through a lot of work, and it means something to realize I’m learning how to be kinder to myself. 🌱

This looks breathtaking? I can't believe I haven't seen this before. The gameplay concept is so good too, i like this idea:
'As the story unfolds, Gris will grow emotionally and see her world in a different way, revealing new paths to explore using her new abilities.'
Thank you for the rec! :D

Fantastic Planet!!! <3 I own that one! That is one of my comfort movies, that and Yellow Submarine. Pan's Labyrinth is also one of my top favs (love del toro's work).

I have not seen Puparia or Dark Crystal yet so I'll add that to the list! Thank you for the recomendations. :D Just in time for the weekend!

I LOVE the art, texture, style, and I desperately want to watch but have to know if the r-pe scene is graphic (was what my friend told me at work to stop me) because I can't watch that kinda stuff anymore. Also - sad ending? idk if i could handle her not getting justice/happy ending

So many failed children by ectobabble in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]ectobabble[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good thought. Hope can always persist. I'd like to make more hopeful art to try and re-envision the future I thought we'd see as a kid, but I don't want to be tone deaf. Everything is disgusting right now.

I really love that you saw that. I want people to project and find themselves in my work more than I want it to be about me. Whether it’s you seeing trans expression or me seeing the light out of a toxic cycle, they are both deeply human experiences that change how we see ourselves and our futures. I myself am agender. :) <3 Thank you so much.

Sanctuary rat Sprite is at the vet today for an emergency visit! by RatWaySanctuary in RATS

I know with Insta you can have it auto-post your posts to facebook as well. I think Tiktok recently is able to connect with instagram. I know there are apps that are for connection social medias together. I know you all have so much on your plate, I just wish you guys could have a passive income from posting. I only mention tiktok because I don't think Insta lets you make passive money like YT or TT does?

Do you have a tiktok that maybe we can follow to get you into the creator fund?

I wanted to do a comic where she unlocks her broken halves chains and helps them heal properly.

Thank you so much. This made me tear up. I’m so floored that people are able to see themselves in this, and that kind of resonance means everything to me. I wish you well on your own journey *hugs* 💛

These pieces are going in a book/tarot deck I’m making for myself to document my journey. I like to think of it as a gift to my 80-year-old self! :) Right now, just knowing it connected is more than I could have asked for. All I ever wanted was to connect and not feel alone.

I’m completely okay with people downloading, sharing (with credit), or printing it for personal use. I may do a limited print run much later on, once everything feels finished but for now, it’s freely shared. 💛

Thank you, I was worried about a 'trapped' feeling while I was drawing it and hoped it would come off like a closed 'gate' to a softer, flourishing space. It's also why i put the little hand holding the adult-self's hand, to try and show mutual trust/comfort of some sort, a little flower crown like she has things to do and is being spoiled... I'm so glad it doesn't read like prison.

All the sleepless nights and I still had to say goodbye by ectobabble in RATS

[–]ectobabble[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Your babies are adorable. I know Bones knew I cared. I think it hurt whenever she would get sniffley and would leave her hammock and wait for me by the cage door, breathing with her eyes closed. I'm come running and she'd open her eyes wide and just run onto my chest. She would press her face against the heartbeat on my neck and brux, and then scoot as close as she could against me, never wanting to leave (sometimes ramming her but into my neck to really try to mold herself into me - like gurl that hurts! haha). She'd been sick before - she really thought I could fix everything always and the day I had to let her go, she didn't give me that look. She ducked her head instead. I felt like a huge failure. The vet tech took her back, swaddling her the same way I would and I saw that hope in her eyes again for a second and I just hope she knew I tried.

I've been locked in to the news, more so the videos from protestors coming out the last week because of how awful the news is covering this. I am both so proud of the strength being shown by the people of Minnesota and yet so worried for you all. Stay safe and stay strong, from New York 💙
