Posted 1 month, 19 days ago by corvidcalling

GJPjePaWgAADUzF?format=jpg&name=large

hey!!! myself and a handful of other wonderful artists have put together a charity adopt collab to raise funds for the PCRF, hosted by the lovely vhsdruid!

adopts officially drop this saturday the 23rd and will run for 3 days auction style, with no set AB! 100% of the funds go to palestine and we'd love to see you there; please keep an eye out, everyone put tons of love into their designs and with a wide array of styles i think there's something for everyone to enjoy imo :]

here's a better preview of the design i put together--a cookie dough ice cream puppy who comes with a full mini ref (fullbody, chibi and two accessories!) i hope you'll like them <3

updates

Posted 1 month, 23 days ago by corvidcalling

hi...felt like writing a bulletin about some stuff going on ^_^ thanks for dropping in! sorry if it's long, just getting some stuff off my chest

1. first of all apologies for slow art...ik i only owe art to two people so i'm not sure if they will be reading this and it hasn't even been a month yet but still i feel guilty, so apologies regardless! i...really bit off more than i could chew rn with this last batch of art trades graaahhh not to say i'm unhappy doing them!! but things are slow right now. i'm not planning on taking on more owed art for a while after this, truthfully i'm at a very low point with my art and my self esteem over it and i think trying too hard to monetize my designs as well as be "seen" in any way online, being put in a position of needing to constantly lower my prices or place an acceptable "worth" on my art and not really reaching my goals there is ruining my relationship with my own artwork...i have a lot of irl factors playing into it too it's just. Hard but i really need to take some time to just do personal art, draw my characters, regain my passion for creating and not worry about if anyone likes my work or not ^_^; i appreciate any support i do receive, with all that said! but it's getting to a point where being online and being on this website as well is a bit unhealthy for me.

2. while i'm not allowed to post a preview of the design, i'm currenly participating in a collab with a group of artists to raise money for palestine, specifically the PCRF (palestine children's relief fund)! i'm very excited about it and more info should be dropping soon as the deadline wraps up in a few days...i've made an anthro design with cookie dough ice cream as the theme--a spotted puppy dog since i know people love those :] it comes with a mini ref with a fullbody + chibi and a couple accessories, 100% of the profits go to charity and i'm very excited to post it! i hope you'll all look forward to it, there's lots of other really amazing designs in the works by a few of my mutuals and other lovely artists!

3. i apologize for late or otherwise inconsistent replies; briefly touched on in the first segment but outside of artwork i'm also just not doing very well, and it's extremely difficult for me to keep up communication especially when i'm in a bigger dip with mental health. those who know me a bit more or have access to my priv twitter are aware of more details which i'm not gonna talk about here but i have not been in a good living situation for almost 5 years now on top of ridiculous loads of severe trauma, which unfortunately does Crazy things to my already bad mental health lol and just makes being able to function every day incredibly inconsistent. i started an intensive form of PTSD-based therapy recently which has been somewhat productive but it's also Very hard work and kind of leaves me feeling triggered throughout most of the week (and it's only gonna get worse from here yippee!) so...another reason why art is a bit slower right now. unfortunately i don't have any kind of support system outside of my wife which is a lot of pressure on her and i need to start taking care of myself better for both our sakes. i really desperately have been wanting to reach out to people more and make friends but it feels nearly impossible for me with severe social anxiety and idk how to remedy that...i honestly just feel like i do not have any worth as a human being and it's uh. kind of effecting Everything in my life adfh;af9235 (this is no fault of anyone's but myself of course, i hope that doesn't come across as guilt trippy?? omg...)

yah idk i'm just rambling. i recently invested in an old ds lite + some pokemon games to keep myself occupied, since i haven't had access to all my belongings in 5 years so it was time to invest in some new ones i guess. just trying to find things to keep me busy and not spiraling as terribly as i could be...been saying it for a decade now with no luck but i hope eventually things will start looking up for me someday! we shall hope 💪 ty for reading, wishing you all well!

what do you like about my art?

Posted 3 months, 7 days ago by corvidcalling

i feel...SO embarrassed making a post like this but, idk how else to put it other than that i feel so discouraged and beaten down with art lately >_> i have my own struggles with self confidence and self acceptance, but in addition to that i'm just feeling very. overshadowed in art communities, i think i am just not taking recent failures of adopts and social media and overall Everything very well aghdsi;fa i have many moments of wanting to give up and delete everything...but for once instead of falling into self destructive behaviors i want to maybe try reaching out for help instead! i know i have lots of good things and good people surrounding me but i can forget that i'm remembered and appreciated sometimes

i don't often receive feedback on my work and so...here i am kindly asking for it 🥹 what do you like about my art or designs or anything i create? i would appreciate any kind words, thank you so much! please don't feel obligated to though!

EDIT: TYSM EVERYONE FOR TAKING THE TIME TO COMMENT i cannot respond to everyone but i'm cherishing every single one, you're all so so thoughtful and sweet 😭 it seriously means a lot to me and i'm already very glad i decided to reach out

lf headworld name suggestions

Posted 9 months, 26 days ago by corvidcalling

i am slowly and steadily adding more characters to my liminal space/horror headworld--where dog and ares are from!! it's about time i gave it a name, but i am NOT good with that kind of thing so i'm hoping some of you are more creative than i am 😩

i'm looking for something that doubles as both a name for the world itself but would also serve as the titular title if it were like a story...preferably a one word name! i tried looking a while back if there was a word for a phobia of liminal spaces but couldn't find much. hoping to make a tag and folder for the characters so i kinda need a name first LOL ty in advance for any ideas!!

some flavor text on the world in case it's helpful: it's technically post apocalyptic, and was a normal world similar to earth until a mass extinction event caused pretty much everything to be wiped out and now the only living beings are corrupted, mutated gods and other messed up creatures...most resemble organic forms of life, but they don't have to, and pretty much anything goes. life functions pretty much like the prehistoric era, with all living beings simply fighting for survival--civilizations don't really exist here. the world itself literally is one giant liminal space that can change from one area to the next, and is constantly shifting. sometimes it can resemble nature, other times man-made architecture, and sometimes even things the human mind can't fathom. even the creatures themselves are known to shift their physiology, nothing is really quite stable here. one thing is for certain, pretty much every aspect of this world feels simply Wrong from a human point of view. just familiar enough to be recognizable, but never enough to feel like home. should man ever set foot on this planet, they'd likely succumb to madness.

above you can find my links to the site, as well as my art fight tag for this year; i'm mostly looking for art of the characters in that tag, but you're welcome to draw ANYONE you see in my toyhouse, no need to ask beforehand <3 if you'd like an even narrower selection, i'd especially love art of dia, kenya, and larkspur, as well as the four featured on-site!

i'm proudly repping team werewolf, and don't discriminate between teams; i attack both equally! also prioriting revenges as always--i won't be able to revenge everyone, but i try to get back to as many people as i can! i will stick to drawing characters that inspire me or would suit my style :]
happy art fight everyone!!
