Brain Rot/Text To Speech content (My art is content creation)

Trending Brain Rot, a whole lotta content creators.

Lack of Motivation; since I’m more on the creative side I tend to struggle with scheduling.

It is a very chill and lax environment allowing individuals to be themselves and express full creativity (within certain boundaries of course).

Any tips for newcomers?
My tip for newcomers is simply don’t be hard on yourself for not getting things right, failure is the best way to learn how to draw, if you already know how to draw every single thing then what’s the point of doing art.
What barriers do you experience in working as an artist?
My struggle as an artist is procrastination. Every time I want to draw something I just feel like I don’t want to do anything. I still struggle to this day.

Do you do commissions?
yes.
Do you identify as neurodiverse? Do you mind telling us what it means to you?
yes. being on the spectrum is…difficult for me to describe. I was born when being neurodivergent, was in its early stages of study and the information we have now is SO different from what we had at the start. Being neurodivergent affects many aspects of my life, from mental, social, and educational. While it’s had its challenges and I have had to face many biases, stereotypes, and trauma, I know that without it, my view on the world would be incredibly boring, (in my opinion.)
Describe your art style in two sentences
Sometimes Stupidly cringey and dramatic. Other times stupidly chaotic and dramatic.
What/who inspires you?
Most cartoons and their creators and content creators, (too many to list.) to name a few, my little pony Friendship is magic and their creator Lauren Faust was one of the first shows that made me want to become a creator, followed quickly by gravity falls, and miraculous ladybug, (but not ML’s creator, he’s mean.) June aka, GinjaNinjaOwO, “love their art, and I find that we are often going through similar art struggles, they have unintentionally helped in my art journey so much.”
Any tips for newcomers?
hmm…Most artists will tell you to draw every day, or to just post your work even if you think it looks bad. But I’ve always hated that advice. You don’t know me, random artists! Do you know how busy my life is?! I can’t draw EVERY DAY…ahem, anyway…art advice. Uh…draw what inspires you, I started out drawing My little pony characters which was one of my first major hyper fixation, that show got me drawing NEARLY every day.
What barriers do you experience in working as an artist?
I am a chronic perfectionist, I can’t tell you how many projects I have scrapped and remade, over and over, until I felt the project was “ready.”
I am an over planner, and a control freak, while also somehow being incredibly timid about my own opinion, and a people pleaser, which is fine when you’re working alone, but when you work in a team, well…not so much.
How has Panion Studios has helped you work towards or achieve your goals?
This studio has helped me reach outside my comfort zone, and has thrown me in the deep end more than a couple of times, but they have always provided a lifeline to get me back into safer waters. Their support towards our goals as a team and my goals as an independent artist have been instrumental.
What do you like the most about contributing to Panion Studio?
Being a part of such a fluid team of individuals focused on building each other up, and getting to work on fun projects we all get to say in. There have been so many times where we will be casually working on a project and I’ll start humming a dumb internet song to just have the others join in and join the nostalgia trip. It’s moments like that, that make me feel so human and connected, and not like a stuck up business focused on algorithms and trends. We just want to make ourselves laugh and have a good time.

Where we can find your art?
You can find my art on my Tumblr account with the link below. Most is safe for viewing, although there are mature undertones in my art.
Do you do commissions?
Not currently. Should I though, I will announce it on my tumblr page.
Do you identify as neurodiverse? Do you mind telling us what it means to you?
Autism spectrum, ADHD and OCD. I find it difficult to focus on anything I find unstimulating. Hyperfixation on concepts and drawings are common. Actions often misunderstood.
Describe your art style in two sentences
The art style I use here is my old one, which does not reflect what I’ve done since then.
My current style uses minimal shading and limited palettes with realistic body proportions to distinguish it from ai-generated content and to highlight the work put into the pen strokes used to create it.
I am heavily against AI as it goes against everything art stands for.
What/who inspires you?
A lot of artists I follow who do LGBTQ+ artwork.
Any tips for newcomers?
I can only give tips for the type of drawing I indulge in; drawing correctly proportioned humans/hybrids.
It’s all about getting perspectives, shading and proportions right, if you want to make good artwork. You’ll learn this gradually, as I did. A wonderful free program I use called Posemyart allows you to pose and trace a basic 3D figure. This helps create the base, in which you can then terraform into your character. This does require some level of understanding on the proportions, but will lead to results.
Faces are goddamn hard to get right, especially with perspective. Just keep redoing and erasing until it looks right. You’re free to use masks or visors to avoid drawing them if you need a last measure.
What barriers do you experience in working as an artist?
Burnout, constantly. And putting up with the kind of negativity that artists have to deal with in an era where a small but growing selection of people think machines will take over creative expression.
Drawing a character and hating the result is common, I’ve thrown away at least 20+ character ideas the past two years. Thankfully my newest writing project is something that I actually do like and think represents the kind of ideas I believe in and want to express.
How has Panion Studios has helped you work towards or achieve your goals?
