I am struggling pretty hard with my art right now. It's not that I don't like it, I'm actually very fond of how the queen of coins came out, and I'm really deeply loving how the golden dragon is coming out. My problem is that the hallucinations are starting to become a bit more vivid and OBNOXIOUS.
How do you paint a fish, when it darts away beneath your brush to hide behind the kelp? How do you lay down the golden scales when the dragon is perpetually in motion? Sometimes I don't paint at all, because I'm sitting there staring at the painting and falling into it. It feels as though I could just... reach my hand out and rather than touch paper, my arm would go through it and I would tumble into the artwork and be lost forever.
At this point I have no idea what my finished art looks like, and that's troubling. So I'm asking a favor... please don't critique my art for a while. That is critique in the sense of message me to tell me what's wrong with it. It's not that I don't appreciate the intent to help me improve, it's that I literally... can't see it. I can't even ask for redline help during the drawing process because it just moves on me before I draw it and I'm frustrated all over again. I've got a doctor's appointment where hopefully they will put me on some decent antipsychotics so that I can get this under control, because how the hell am I supposed to grow and improve as an artist under these conditions?
I'm so frustrated.
And you are more than welcome to voice any opinions at all, like or hate, about the art. Just understand that as far as critiques go, they're pretty much worthless to me until my brain is functioning again.

Commissions
Hey everyone, I'm going to try something new today. As you all know, I will not be accepting commissions anymore. My list is the last commissions I will be doing (right now my list says glass dragon, raven girl, and phoenix. If you're not on this list get ahold of me now because the move may have knocked it out of my short term memory). However I am part of a group that does bi monthly auctions of originals, and they have a theme for each auction. I was thinking that I will post up the theme and people can make suggestions of what they WOULD commission me for, on the off chance that I pick it and it becomes available at the auction.
So that

You know, on the one hand that sounds pretty awesome because your art turns into a movie, but I can see how frustrating it would be. I hope this issue resolves itself soon, and you can see the lovely things you've made the way we see them.
