atelierheidi:I did the cosplay by color meme again with finished work. Mostly to remind myself that I’m maybe kind of good at this after all. I’ve been struggling with my mental health a lot since my house flooded, and feeling like I don’t deserve to rebuild anything. Losing so much of my work and equipment really broke my spirit. So many people view cosplay (or art in general) as worthless if it isn’t super marketable and making tons of money. But the stuff that is marketable is often (not always) the most empty, insincere, lowest-common-denominator examples of any given genre. I make art because it is important to me. I do it for the challenge and to enjoy the payoff of hard work. I do it to help me cope with living in a world that is cruel and uncertain. Some people will never appreciate what I do, and they have occasionally gone to great lengths to make sure I know that. But I am going to keep doing it anyway, as long as I have the option, because it matters to me. Your art has value even when it is not obvious to other people. ❤ -- source link
