    No, I’m not going to. I’m not a big event kind of person.

    I know about Konqi & Katie. I want to know the names of all the other KDE dragons. I also want pictures of each dragon.

      I never gave the other colorful dragons many thoughts. I would like to do something about them, but that will take time. I need to sort out my original project as soon as possible. Therefore the other Konqis are not a priority right now.

    In the early morning of August 19, 2024, I noticed that some of the links to the original website showed a changed page, and then I learned that the new website was quietly launched.

      Yeah, I didn’t publicly announce it because the websites haven’t been fully built yet, and there is no new content.

      They were removed because they didn’t meet my current standard.

    hello I was wanting to study some your art i was wondering if you had any speed paints or some tips

      I thought about speedpainting, but I saw it as a “performance” to show off skills rather than a practical way to draw things.

      I design my character as I draw them. The process is messy and slow and breaks into multiple sessions. I honestly don’t think watching speedpainting performance from other artists is good for your skills or your confidence.

      If there is one tip I can give, is that your heart is more important than your skills.

      During my low period between 2012 – 2022, I tried really hard. Studying all sorts of things, doing all sorts of practices and stunts, but things only got worse. More knowledge with a bad mental state means more distractions and chains to creativity.

      Now I have basically “given up” any expectations of “what I can get from art”, things actually get much better for me.

      My current state is that I know exactly what I want to create, I have the observation ability and taste to assess my own art, I know how to improve, and I actually believe in myself to improve if I wanted to. The process of drawing is the most important thing to me. Any outside validation is just a bonus.

      In my experience, this change of mind helped more than anything else.
