D: !!! Q.Q Stop it aaahh I cant take this level of praise

Actually it means A LOT because lately i've been falling out of love with the comic in general. I think its cause of my wrist problem and the hiatus situation, but to me I think the whole thing is shit xD I just feel like i could do better?? I dunno. I'm probably just being too critical of my own work. 

So hearing you say that it works and its well done makes me really happy Q.Q It helps motivate me to get on with more pages. I'm so damn determined to get the first book finished aahhhh. remind me to send you a free book when that happens (in 20 years) xD 

thanks again ahh

omg really?? Sorry to hear that!! D:
well I don't know if this will help you, but for a while, I felt really out of touch with my art work too and tbh I'm still trying to 'make it better'. And omg i totally feel you with the 'it could be better, but it's not'.
Every time I would (try to) switch my style to something more realistic or more anime or more cartoony, I started missing aspects of my previous style and could no longer feel joy from the things I thought I liked before. I kept wanting to switch back and forth between styles and tried to incorporate all the things I thought I wanted until it just ended up with a shitty compromise/'watered-down' style as well as me feeling way too stressed/disappointed. I'm sure that style wasn't inherently bad or anything (same goes for all the other styles I tried having), but yeah, it wasn't what I wanted. And yeah, I suspect this is a deeper issue than just with the art itself.

I'm not really sure how to cure this sort of feeling, but what has helped me so far was just pausing and really interrogating myself as to why I wasn't satisfied. For any very specific issues I could put my finger on, I sat down and figured out how to deal with them. Any general feelings of dissatisfaction I ignored because they just aren't useful. What also helped was just relaxing and telling myself that none of this is final. Go ahead and change stuff as much as you want, you can always change again or go back if you don't like it. Also also, if you've made 'ugly' stuff already, that's fine. Whatever. It already happened. Now's your chance to do super good next time around

I also tried doing the same thing pretending I was one of my idols, but that didn't make me feel better. Again, I kept wanting to change to a 'better' style. I'm sure a lot of people who you think have ideal art feels the same way as you do. 

Currently, I'm just sort of switching between styles as my mood desires and trying to focus on one thing at a time so I can actually appreciate it/better understand what I truly want. I'm not sure if there's been any significant change with my art 'quality' (however you may be able to judge that), but I do believe my mood has improved. And becasue there's not really a way to actually define what art is inherently good or bad, you may as well focus on your happiness and let the rest take care of itself. What's so great about having 'good' art if you feel like shit? 

I know this may sound cliche and dumb, but keep it up with the positive thinking and things will get better!! If there's any part of you that says otherwise, gently ween off that mindset because chances are, it is the cause of your unhappiness and not whatever else you may think is getting you down. Positive thinking will work when you believe in it. Just give it some love and some time  

But I'm glad i could help by speaking my mind!!! :'D (this isn't an exaggeration or anything, I legitimately, honestly feel that way about your comic)
but yeah, you're welcome!!!! <3
and omg for a free copy I'd gladly wait 200 years >u<

lmao sorry for the wall of text
