Feelings are rubbish.

@gherkin Unless they're good feelings!
-
@gherkin Are you OK darling?
-
@flaxx This is true.
-
@gherkin Mostly, yes.
-
@ceruleanspark I'm having a bit of a grump. But eh.
-
@gherkin Aha! I said something true! Flaxx's self esteem was increased by 1!
-
@gherkin You wanna talk about it? I can give you more...intimate contact details if you'd like to keep it private.
-
@flaxx Flaxx's level increased. Flaxx gained 150 bits for the Apple family.
-
@rnbwdashiswin Well, the bad ones suck.
-
@ceruleanspark Nah, it's nothing like that. It's just that I drew "Pinkie Pie vs the fourth wall" about eight months ago and nothing I've done since has come close to topping it. Did I peak too early? Should I bother continuing to try? If so, for how long?
-
@gherkin I think you should keep trying! I like your comics! The way you talk about them makes it seem like they've kind of become an obligation for you, and that might have sucked the fun out of them for you, so maybe you should stop worrying about it for a little while and just draw whatever until something specific comes to mind.
-
@gherkin All your stuff rocks. Keep going.
-
@gherkin If you find it fun to draw, then yes, I think you should continue. You'll strike gold sooner or later, believe me.
-
@gherkin I agree with ceruleanspark. If its fun and you still like it then do it. If not tu
-
@madflavors then take a break. That's what meant to say
-
@gherkin Well, doing a strip like that is quite an investment of time and energy, I imagine... Besides, while I think your stuff is awesome, I certainly don't judge you based on your art output. If you judged me on that... I would not rank highly, and boy have I tried. Anyway, thats probably a digression... don't worry about not feeling able to 'do it again'... some other idea, that might be very different, is sure to spark up.
-
@pawnheart @flaxx @rnbwdashiswin @madflavors @ceruleanspark Thanks guys. :) I do enjoy drawing, and I really love it when I post something and I get all these comments and favourites and stuff... but there's this terrible pressure to perform. Like if I make one slip-up, everything will go wrong.
-
@gherkin But it won't. And you are your own worst critic, by the sound of it. Chill, you're cool as is.
-
@gherkin Setting aside the gay for a minute, I'll still love you even if your comics aren't perfect. Don't Rarity out about it. People like you, they're not going to just abandon you forever if you have an off day.
-
@pawnheart Stressing about stuff you can't do at the mo just exacerbates the problem. May come easier if you ain't expecting anything...
-
@gherkin as with doing anything in public there is always a chance of that happening. The best you can do there is to learn not to give a grapes and keep on truckin'
-
@gherkin I think everyone is their own worst critic... I mean, when I actually feel motivated to write/record songs, I end up discarding a good majority of everything I did. This current Mike Doughty covers project I'm working on, may not be done for a while because of how I am with my stuff. But I'm still going to do it and finish it and put it out, no matter how long it takes me.

@rnbwdashiswin @flaxx @madflavors @ceruleanspark @pawnheart Thanks guys. You've really helped. !hugs Now, to [REDACTED] this comic right up its [REDACTED]!
-
@gherkin You're very welcome! I'm glad I could help! :D And good luck [REDACTED] those [REDACTED] comics!
-
@gherkin Heh, no problem man. I get like this a lot but I always find a reason to keep going.
