Since I made a new account on there, not for the art but for reblogs only, I noticed that some blogs I follow have restricted replies (not the reblogs) for ALL their posts (even for the posts they reblogged!) so I just wonder, have those blogs blocked me by chance? I mean, I can still interact with them and see their stuff but if they really blocked me for no reason, that'd be kinda dumb/silly
I'm back for a little. I decided to not use Sheezy as much as before and focus more on my personal art and stuff.
Ever since I deleted both my Tumblr and Bsky it has been such a bliss to me. I was no longer feeling anxious and comparing myself to everything and most importantly, I finally started drawing for myself. Online world has exhausted me making me think everything art related has to be perfect which led to me drawing "slop" (lol) just so I could get 50+ likes on Bsky in a day. Drawing what I really want to see and what makes me happy has really changed me for the positive and I'm so glad about it
I mainly moved onto posting to my personal Instagram, which I don't feel like sharing here since it's mainly for people I know irl and some locals. I mostly use it to post very personal art (which is way different from what I post here) or art I plan on putting on sale. I will still come back here on Sheezy to post some fun doodles and fanart I don't feel like sharing to others (I mean, this is such a chill little place, come on) so yup :)
Is Tumblr acting weird to anyone else rn? I'm using the app and I honestly dunno if it's just up to it or it's also the issue on the website
I'm just worried I didn't get banned for no reason lol
EDIT: It works normally now! Phew!
I had no idea a character I drew on a whim would inspire me so much. I'm talking about this one: https://sheezy.art/godblessgretel/gallery/a-jolly-fella
People who follow me might've even noticed I made a ref sheet (sorta?) for her today. Something itched me for a couple of days that I must make something "bigger" with Celeste (that's her name). I know I want this, I know I want to make a comic with her. I already have the entire first chapter drafted in my head, I already have the other characters on my mind as well. I just need to be ready.
From other experiences I heard, especially from webcomic creators who do the job all by themselves, it's a not to say painful but still difficult job that REALLY can affect your mentality. I know that difficult jobs often lead to most beautiful things like success but you also need to learn to be prepared more than ever. I know some people can find comic making fun and stuff, but you also need to think of how people will accept your creation. What their thoughts of it might be. From drawing style to writing, everything must be planned well before beginning.
I'm aware of all of these things I said and I wanted to make my own comics for God knows how many years. I had so many different concepts that just didn't work right. But this one is "toying" with me in a way I can't tell if it's good or bad... But I know that something will come out of me one day. I just wan't make sure and take care of myself so I don't get mentally destroyed by this idea

Debating whether I should make a Reddit account or not, I've been thinking about joining that place for years but I'm still kinda unsure about it.
Have you guys ever had an account on there? If you did, then what was/is your experience? Is it good for artists (probably is since there are art related subreddits) and is there anything I should be aware of before I join?
