Story time: In undergrad we had a competition every year to be judge by the art department. I lost every single year and my confidence was deflated completely. I compared myself to the winners who would tell me and those who lost our work was mediocre. Yes, narcissism was high
THIS! THIS is the feeling you get when you finally created art that you are proud of. Art that you created for yourself by your own ambition and passion. No longer trying to make what others want but making what YOU WANT and having fun with it. Ahh! I'm rooting for Yatora!
