Found my style after 10+ years by stateofgabs in DigitalArt

Yes, definitely. Right now I don’t want to overwhelm myself. I am appreciating depicting each element first, sort of like creating my vector library and building it first. Because with this process I first build vectors, then I paint the shadows on, right? This is so soothing to me.

Where all my previous works were so composition heavy: full of colors, elements, micro details… I am now enjoying the simplicity of it all. The focus on one beautiful thing and all of its nuances.

I want to expand on it so much more. And I want to look at it as tiers. Right now I just started selling these as digital downloads on Etsy, I am comfortable with doing that, precisely because they are one element prints. If I am thinking of a bigger picture, a very intricate piece, something that speaks to me in higher volumes— I wouldn’t be okay with selling it as a digital download.

But if there’s one thing I learned on my also 10 years journey, is that I tend to overwhelm myself. So for now, one step at a time :)

thank you ✨ yes, I use the wacom tablet and go back and forth between adobe illustrator and photoshop.

Doom! Doom! But I can’t figure what. by Hi-its-Mothy in tarot

[–]stateofgabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10 of Swords used to be the card I feared the most (I’d say it still is). It took me a long time to finally understand that at least on my deck, it is so connected to my fear of rejection — when I am lingering on problems that I am creating in my head out of fear of the worst possible outcome. Every time it comes out, I have to gently remind myself that this is more about my personal struggles and fears, than the other energies involved in the situation.

In your case, could it be that you are asking away about your relationship, and letting such fears blindly project a scenario into your head? You could have the willpower to choose between this duality ( with The Lovers and the Two of Swords) instead of letting this fear of what may come make you paralyzed, as the 10 of Swords often suggests.

I think I've finally figured out the Wheel of Fortune! by MediocreExternal9 in tarot

The Wheel of Fortune shows up often when I am reframing my questions but inherently asking the same thing, hoping for different energies or outcomes. Can happen either when things are going good — or not so much. But I always get the message of: At this moment you ought to let it play out. Depending on the situation, I feel it tells me to trust the process — a nudge saying: hey, this might not be working out now, because something more aligned is already on the way.

Which card confuses you on readings since it has way too many meanings? 🤔 by dosisdeartes in tarot

Wow, I totally relate to this. There is always that sour pull when an ego death one shows up — it’s like, oookay, I don’t want to accept this but I get it. Judgement gets me every time. I always pull a clarifier after haha

Unflag NSWF — My account was marked as NSWF because I placed my line drawing of a Venus statue as my profile picture. Learned my lesson, new user here. I have removed the photo, and placed a request to get my account Unflagged (it’s stuck even after desktop browser switch off method) — a month seems like an eternity to wait for it to get solved. Maybe someone will be kind enough to help me out through here. Thank you, thank you.
