Some stuff I've been working on
🕑 Added 2020-05-31 02:13:10 +0000 UTCHey guys,
How are you all doing? I'm not gonna lie, I've been taking all the recent events pretty hard, and I've been trying to process everything over the past couple of days. I haven't really been able to sketch or edit videos, which is super inconvenient. It's hard to talk about online, and it's hard to mention being depressed about all the recent events since nothing I say or feel will help or make anything right. But yeah, I don't have the right words for any of this, I just have been feeling really heavy.
Yesterday, I couldn't sleep so I randomly decided to redesign a local game store's logo. Super random, I know, but I haven't designed anything since school ended and I wanted to work on something personal, so I redesigned Dragon Fire Games Inc.
This is their logo at the moment; not great. Their focus is on trading cards and miniatures (so insane nerdy) so I wanted to go for one modern logo, one D&D style, and a retro/vintage feel.
The middle one is the most bland, but also I see it with illustrative elements pulling it together, but this is just something small I distracted myself with last night.
Hope you are all doing well and staying safe.

The logos are great. Stay safe.

I totally understand feeling overwhelmed and exhausted from just reading the news lately. There’s a lot of scary, uncomfortable, uncontrollable stuff happening in the world now and it is easy to feel stuck under the weight of it. I’m finding that making a very small goal for each day in my art is helping me. Making myself draw when I don’t feel like it is actually helping my mood and anxiety a lot. I started making “weekly collection” drawings that I work on each day even if I don’t work on any other art each day. These are drawings just for me in my sketchbook or in Procreate. My idea with each one the last few weeks has been to just choose a subject once a week and draw at least one drawing onto my collection drawing each day. This week I’ve been drawing a collection of moths. Last week I made a collection of seashells. Each one only takes 10 or 15 minutes to draw and my page fills up with a little colorful collection of small drawings over the course of the week. It helps me to focus on something that I enjoy instead of getting so stuck in the scary and anxious mood that reading about current events puts me in. It’s sort of an odd little self care project. It makes me feel like even on a hard day I accomplished something that is beautiful and that makes me smile. I don’t know if something like this would help you at all, but it’s helping me so I thought it can’t hurt to share. 💗
Gosh I feel like everything is falling apart too. I totally get what your saying about not knowing how to feel it’s so depressing, I’ve been trying to distract myself by pouring my energy into my art too lol it hasn’t really worked 😂 but I really like what you did with the logos it’s super cool to see a different approach to the same logo :)
