Thank you. And it is bloody hard. Like I just said to someone else on Discord - the imposter syndrome is god-awful and it's worse when you're over-sensitive and an overthinker. And yet, when I've worked on an exercise for a few hours, and it's going nowhere and it looks and feels awful, imposter syndrome kicks in, and yet the easiest thing is to just scrap it, start over, and the next iteration usually comes out better and quicker.Muzzoid said:You are fine! You didn't lash out, you just stated how something made you feel which is actually good! You've taken every bit of feedback well.
This thing is a long game, anyone who has been doing this for longer than a decade knows that preserving your mental health is the number one priority here. Art can be a really rough journey emotionally, I've worked with friends who broke down in tears because they though they couldn't create any more, and they lost sight of the reason why we are doing any of this.I mean I'm the guy who had the bright idea of the "honest feedback thread" . I thought i was able to take the most honest feedback, but in truth it actually really hurt my ego and made me realize a lot of things. (phew this was 11 years ago)
Also I can expand on any of these ideas at all if you want to know. I've been slowly working on writing a book based on the meta game of art, so it's something I'm deeply passionate about.
Thank you. And thanks for the encouragement."This is a lot to digest. There really should be some online courses that cover secondary forms; there are so many considerations and things to be aware of, it could very easily be its own topic..."Actually, Scott Eaton one of the founding artists behind digital sculpture had authored many of the fundamental concepts/principles you're currently grappling with for example - Anatomy for Artists I might also add peer review offered thus far is quite exceptional and as a point of reference I'd say your journey has imo gotten off to a great start, so keep at it. One other thing I'll mention is that mental health issues prevail throughout the creative sphere irrespective of medium, in my mind perhaps endeavoring upon a targeted artistic pursuit one will initially as an untutored novice resort or attempt to define their self worth via ones creative ability however without going into further depth beyond the scope of this thread, in terms of agreement totally side with @Muzzoid response above.
Should be just a temporary blip, waiting for Higher Logic support to help restore the theming add-on we use.iam717 said:some how face book has infect the site now? okay, no more black and green i guess? mmm idk how i feel about this, has it always been like this and i didnt notice? not a fan of the (f)book.
