I've been on a bit of an on and off art kick for the past 2 years or so, and after that long, I can safely say I've made an original piece I'm actually proud of. Can't post it because of Pg-13 rules, even if non-sexual, but nonetheless, I'm actually getting pretty alright.

I've been struggling with art for literal decades because a lot of the art community is quite frankly fucking horrible at teaching, ranging from "just practice" to outright tearing me to shreds for not creating a masterpiece only 5 minutes after learning a concept. How I got over this was through games, as there's this really good game series called Art Academy (Split up between the DS version, Lessons for Everyone for the 3DS, Pokémon/Disney for the 3DS, and Home Studio/Atelier for the Wii U), and tbh, these games taught me more about art technique than 9+ years' worth of dedicated classes have done in a fraction of the time, mainly because it goes "Here are multiple techniques we will walk you through point by point and then let you try out all of them" and then goes on to consistently reuse these techniques in more advanced lessons. You know, practice using foundational concepts.

Highly, highly recommend.

How about for a change of pace, a hoary bat just being a cute little floof, or an eastern red bat happily crunching up a mealworm, or one very busy eastern red with her pups now nearly as big as she is! :D

Not a bat, but a bat rescuer helping a baby brushtail possum who in a case of "It's a small world" was rescued by a member of the public who previously worked with bat rescuer Mandi (the one who has Gelert and the other 'geribatrics' in her aviary.) <3

I am just happy to be married. To take a break from looking at horrid politics, and to look at my new shiny husband? Feels nice.
