Hi Everyone! 

Okay, so I'm finally learning where I'm going wrong with my work. Its taken me a while to work it out, but now I should steadily start to produce better work. Hopefully. 

You probably noticed that I've posted very slowly recently. I have a lot of WIPs on the go, but perhaps I should focus on one at a time. If I put my mind to it, I could probably produce something maybe twice a week. My biggest issue with that though is that I procrastinate. A lot. I'm very easily distracted.

As I start to produce more art, I want to post more of the story that goes with the Images. and more of the story that goes with my OC's. there's no point in having all these OC's posted If no one knows the world they come from, the story behind them, their personalities, their preferences, their fears, their loves, or their past. Every one of my characters have so much of my heart and soul poured into them, as does the world they live in. I guess in a way I lack the confidence in my writing skills to actually write anything out, despite the story being there, amounting to 2 huge arcs and a 3rd in the works alongside my partner who is my inspiration for much of the plot. My issue is that there is a lingering fear that no one else will love them the way I do. Maybe I'm being too hard on myself, but that's a thing that's always in the back of my mind. That is making me hold back. It's making me hesitant about posting them, both the written stories and the artwork. This huge art project I am working on is all part of this. I have many Traditional pieces I have never posted here that I want to redraw as digital pieces. I have a roster of 80 characters that I am drawing out. I want to share the world they are all from too, otherwise, the characters by themselves don't mean anything, but I'm afraid... 

So there's my dilemma...

I know what it's like; I love my OCs to pieces and love writing stories about them....but getting people to take time out and read them is the problem. Maybe if you plan to draw certain scenes write or post the corresponding part of the story in the description. Another thing I see people doing is profile cards of their characters (sort of what you get in manga) just stating common things like name and age to interests, blood types, even allergies. It's a nice little snip-bit people can see to get to know the basics of your characters which may make them interested in knowing more about them and the ventures they face.
