Frustration by Corrsk

Frustration

Corrsk

Been working on something for two weeks, 5 hours a day on average, still can't finish it.
Try to color, doesn't work. Back to zero.
Try to color again, looks flat, start again.
Fix some stuff, manage to do a different lineart, color doesn't fit.
Try some different way to color and render, still doesn't work.
Doubt about self, power through and color again. Fail again.
Again.
Try again.
And again.

The most frustrating, is that the sketch itself is good. Better than my usual. But i just can't make it work.
70+ hours of failures, for a 1 hour sketch. I'll either succeed or lose it.

    Me and many other artists too, man. But still, I know the feeling.

      I usually do know too. But this one was particularly big.
      Took me 16 days to finally do what i wanted.
      I improved, but now i need sleep, hah.

    Ah, the plights of perfection.

      Kinda yeah.
      But i guess it's worth it in the end.

    You are an amazing guy, and I genuinely believe it is only a matter of time that it all comes together. You can make, what I'm not even allowed to dream of

      Well, i did. Took me 16 days, but i finally did.
      Thanks, by the way.

        I admire you as a creator, so I want to be encouraging, as I ... don't even tend to get this far artistically these days. You really do your best, and I'd hate to see someone this talented throw in his towel!

          Don't worry, i probably won't. (Unless i'm obligated to)
          And thanks, always good to have some support.
