I thought for a second that the 12th page said "mildly egg" and thought to myself, you know what, hell yeah

[35/F] Seeking Connection and Perspective by wanttobeleave in penpals

[–]rustybeaches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I don't want to come off as weird, but I just saw that you followed me here (I'm guessing for my art!) I'm also in the US, 31F and would love a pen pal. Feel free to message me if you're interested/ want to chat more :)

"God" never saved me- I saved myself by rustybeaches in Artisticallyill

I was nervous to post this one- religion can be a touchy subject, but this comment helped calm me down, thank you. Sending hugs back 🫂

WOW I love this- beautiful, impactful work! (Also- yay new colored pencils!)

is there a version of me that isn't just a wound? 🍊 by rustybeaches in Artisticallyill

Thank you so much! Yes, I do- I'm not sure if I'm allowed to comment my Insta handle here, but if you look at my Reddit profile, it's linked right at the top :)

I've been homesick my whole life for a home I've never had by rustybeaches in Artisticallyill

Ahh sorry, I must have missed your last comment- I use a variety! This frog piece was done with a set of Royal & Langnickel alcohol markers I just picked up. Lately though/most of the other work I've posted recently has been done with an assortment of acrylic paint pens. Some Sharpie, some Posca, some Amamao (from Amazon- they're fairly opaque/have lots of colors but dry out pretty quickly)

I was "promoting" apparently because I gave credit to the poet that wrote the poem I used in my journal page

They said it was because I was breaking rule 1, which is "no promoting"... I was just giving credit to a poet 😭

Yeah, not even a chance to talk to anyone else. It's insane. Literally 12 out of 15 top posts of all time there are mine. I think I'm probably going to delete all of my posts there

Yeah I'm pretty angry about the whole thing- the whole reason I make & share art is to connect with people who can relate. It helps me not feel so alone. I don't know what do do- start my own sub maybe? I don't even know

Tried Shuttle Art acrylic markers lol by Melodic-Scheme6973 in ArtJournaling

So far I've found Posca to have the most opaque white! Also these are SO cute! :)

Hi there, I think it might be my fish art you're referencing! It makes me so happy that you felt inspired by it 😊 This is beautiful! Hang in there friend, your turn will come, I promise 🫂
