What's the matter?  You can always tell us

Don't force yourself to do anything if you're not in a good state. Focus on that beyond all else.

@tailsBOOM! Stress related issues that are kind of personal to talk about here. Thanks for your concern.

No problem @MightyRay! Just know I'm here for you.

You're not obligated to make art, your DA page is meant to be your special place for expressing yourself. When it stops being fun, it goes against the point.

@E-122-Psi I know, I was just looking forward to finally draw some crazy shit that pushes me out of my comfort zone a little, and then, boom, a whole lot of stuff comes in plus the heat, and I'm like "Well, fuck this, I'm out."

I’m sorry. Maybe you can do it at another time. Taking care of yourself is more important. 

If you want to talk you know I’m always here for you. 

You found Froggy!

"Froggy is that you?"

Oh did you get a picture of it? Frogs are rare where I Iive too so I empathize with your excitement in seeing one of them 🙂

@Kiah Yeah, Dad took some photos of it with his I Pad. It had the most gorgeous gold eyes.

Did it have a tail?

@Fear-Metallix Nope. Just a regular ol' frog.

Ooh I want to see it! 🐸 

Summer? But summer is-

...ah, right, forgot. Regions.

Wait, so you celebrate Christmas and New Year during the Summer?

And winter is coming on my end for the snow to be hard to walk in and mess up the roads. Ain't life just grand?

What’s the matter exactly? Hot weather bothering you? 😦

@SurrealBrain At least you get snow. Where I live at, there’s no snow. 

I miss seeing snow.

@Bloxxerboy I envy you.

@Kiah Yeah, it's late spring where I am and yet at this point it might as well be called Early Summer.

The heat tends to screw with my mental faculties. 

@Bloxxerboy Yep, and it can be a real nightmare. The heat gets so bad people starting acting up, folks dub it "Goin' Troppo".

Summer is over. Australians just have hot Winters.

Oh wow...that sucks that the weather has that kind of impact on you. When/if it gets bad and you need to talk to someone remember I’m always here. Hope you’ll get through this okay. 

@Rusty Spy So basically Central Austrailia all year round? Fuck that shit, I'm out lol.

@Kiah Thanks Kiah, you're a treasure!

Sure but that’s just wishful thinking unfortunately. 

 I’m just glad everyone is keeping everything contained in spoiler tags here on SSMB so far...hope that continues as I’m pretty much being very careful with my internet browsing...we’ll see how long this lasts before things get spoiled for me. 

@Kiah I'm glad too, but I must confess I was being a bit cheeky with that last sentence. It's actually a part of the lyrics in the song and I thought it would be a little funny to post. Especially since the next line mentions getting away from bushfires... 

@Kiah Major SPoiler: Pikachu Libre is a Female (JK That was said in the E3 trailer xD  You can tell by the heart-shaped tail)

Oh sorry. You should know I tend to take everything literally. Things like that always go over my head lol. 

Good job on the picture!!! But for the other thing you said you can always talk to me!

A break is totally fine. It's best you avoid burning out, after all.

Just don't fall behind. Keep pacing healthy.

First of all good job on the drawing! It’s good not to pat yourself on the back as it were but give yourself some credit as that isn’t “nothing” in the slightest.

And you just might need a break to refresh and recharge yourself and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Just beware of a break becoming a hiatus or even worse-a distant memory.  

You have to take care of yourself as nothing will get accomplished if you don’t and can extend far worse than that so do what you have to do and take it easy. 

Thanks for the kind words folks. I went out for lunch and now feeling a bit better.

What's bothering you

Sorry to hear that.

@tailsBOOM! mainly self esteem issues. Stuff I'm not going to to get into here.

@MightyRay if you ever need to talk to anyone I'm here!

Sorry to hear that. I'm here if you need to talk. Anxiety sucks and I hope you feel better soon.

I'm more than a little late but I hope you were able to address the anxiety issue. If not, feel free to talk it out here if you need to. Hopefully though things are good now considering how late I got here.

Yeah I hate self-esteem issues. I'd certainly be here to talk too, but of course it's fine if you'd rather not. PS, I think your interests section is pretty funny!

Thanks everyone for the sweet replies and offers to let me have a yak. I'm slowly sorting myself out which is good once again thank you all for your support!

Anytime Mighty! Remember we are always here for you. 

I have no recommendations as I’m not on any of those things but I hope you’ll find something and be successful in coming out of your shell!

Depend on what you're in the mood for. I guess I could recommend Ace Attorney.

On Twitter? Well...

JWittz is a cool person to follow. Big Nintendo guy, originally PokeTuber.

@Jovahexeon Dapper Ridley folks that could do with a couple of followers that aren't huge asshats and maybe draw or like art stuff?

@TCB I'd prefer people who aren't internet famous and that I might have a slim chance to connect with... you wouldn't happen to know of anybody who might appreciate a weirdo like me?

Eh...I don't know? What are your interests for starters

@TCB I like Sonic stuff of course, obscure stuff in general, video game platformers, like Kirby or ratchet and clank, action movies, animated movies, nature stuff like weird animals and plants and of course interesting character designs and OC/FC's.

Oh Soni would be perfect to follow then

You got a link for me @TCB, please?

https://twitter.com/thatsoni

Thank you @TCB. I'm following him now.

Ah... Might know a person: http://perfect-poison-parfait.tumblr.com/ (note: some stuff might be NSFW, just putting it as a precaution)

She's into some of the interests that you're in to, she's a very nice person with a touch of quirky humour (the community that I used to go that is now gone, she was literally the most friendliest person in the entire forums) and this is coming from someone who is very weary of who I talk to(or used to talk to in this case. Oh and she doesn't really like much attention either.

I’d rather that not come back at all but realistically that it would be a long time. 

I hope you feel better soon and I’m here if you want to talk. 

Hope you feel better soon. Depression is a real pain in the neck to be sure and I can only wish I knew a way to get rid of it.

Sweet!

Omg she’s adorbs! 

How rare it is to see any of the 80's designs anymore, and you did a great job as well. Really draws my mind back to childhood when my sister had a few Strawberry Shortcake dolls and how as kids we found there long limbs and soft bodies made for good weapons. Ah the joys of childhood and what we'd do for fun as kids. Thanks for the nostalgia trip @MightyRay 😄

You can find all kinds of tips from videos on youtube. Even the ones that are specifically about software, could possibly be translated to traditional A4.

Thank you so much @DanJ86!

Oh sorry. I don't think I saw the first time you asked. That must have looked insensitive given I was working on my own comic.

I tend to really just improvise as I go along though. Like the guy in the video, I make a very rough layout, scan it then sketch over it many many times on Photoshop until I have a refined idea what to do and what sizes the panels should be.

tbh whenever I drew layouts I would wing it based on what I was thinking of or however a script was paced. I also spent a lot of time really looking at how comics I liked were done.

I also wanted to comment that you shouldn't feel bad for asking twice (I didn't see the last one, either), since it's possible you might have asked at a time when people weren't as active or had anything they could comment with.

What are you talking about?

@tailsBOOM! Go to the latest thread and then read the latest post. Then you'll know.

Seeing the time I’m seeing this status (now) it makes it difficult if not impossible to track down the specific post in question. 

The sad thing is that this could apply to so several posts to make it even more difficult to determine the actual post being referenced.

@Kiah same here

I just got back from the shops as a I had to buy and get some stuff fixed. I left it vauge at time to not be a dick but since people have missed it I was talking about Fire-N-Space's bad take in the HOT TAKE: Should Sonic Team stop listening to fans thread.

What the fuck?!

what a fucking cunt...

Can't you report them or something?

Report them, block them. It's more common than you'd think. I get them too, as a shirtless pro wrestler who wrestles other shirtless men. It's scarier when the creepers live in the same town too

What a piece of shit. Report this person and get them to fuck off.

Social media? So this piece of shit must have an account too, right? I'd think that kind of thing should be able to be reported.

Can't stand ignorant dicks that think they can getaway with this kind of thing on the internet.

Report it.  Then block him.  And then if that doesn't stop claim you're really a dude or something (IDK what else to do at that point)

Really @PaulyBFromDa303 that's the last kind of person I'd think of threatening in any kind of way tbh

@PaulyBFromDa303 I can't, they're using anon. Also the person sending this nonsense has got like 50 bazillion IPs, I know this cause one of my friends is being stalked by them for a long time because she called said creeper out for being creepy and thus has harrassed her for ages and most recently decided to harrass her friends which includes me.

@MightyRay tell the police

@tailsBOOM! Police here are useless mate. Unless I've got hard evidence of the person send the crap to me, they aren't going to lift a finger. Even less so for someone overseas using different IP's and sending nonsense via anons and dummy accounts.

Ugh... Absolutely disgusting and its a shame that there's nothing that you can do. Bet the person is using one of those VPNs to do it.

That really sucks. I recently had to temporarily turn off anon interactions on my blogs due to constantly getting vicious and petty anon hate for months from an IP block dodging anon who was salty that my blogs were taking off, so I can sort of relate.

You know what sucks too? I’ve had friends come forward about threats like that, and more people are pissed at them, the victim, as opposed to the piece of shit. Like, how fucked up is society for that to happen? Anyway, little rant aside, I’m really sorry. Report that fucker and if it persists, be ready to call authorities 

They're also cowards for hiding behind anon anyway. No matter what happens you can always revel in that fact. And they know it too, which makes it all the better.

It's funny. This 'anon' is the same one who sent me my first hate mail on said site and then proceeded to use a dummy account only a couple of hours later to send me anti-Semitic charactures, then apologised for it. I knew that apology was BS cause I had a feeling sooner or later they'd be back on their shit and low and behold they were.

All in all, they damaged their reputation further, made me know about them via my friend and believe them more and more and gave me a good laugh the first time.

It's really annoying that they can get away with this stuff. It is illegal in the UK and the type of thing you experienced is exactly why they made it so.

Also I'm sorry you were getting BS from anons @Ferno and @PaulyBFromDa303 you both deserve better than that. Same with your mates @KHCast, being made to feel like it's your fault because some moron can't behave themselves is just sad. 

I’m so sorry that you had to experience that. I’ve been there and it can be a very frightening thing to be faced with. What a disgusting and sorry excuse of a human being as well as a coward threatening to do something so horrendous to someone. They will get theirs as what goes around comes around.
