e29a5a oh heck, i gtg... uhm... i guess i should say not to talk here anymore too much?? so that my messages about my analogy can stay up a bit longer.. if that makes sense. I should just make a channel and put it all there, but i'll do that sometime later... anyways cya wahhhh
e29a5a again, fair, wah... i hope this is hitting home Luna, if you're still here. i feel like if you took this to heart, and i mean you really swore yourself to this analogy, you'd start doing better
8e146b I would say that I'm also in the middle. I cook with vector art but not really in pixel art.
e29a5a you cant grow ignorant, focusing on only who's above or who's below. you gotta be aware and see both up and down to understand your own worth, because you do have worth
e29a5a thats fair ebag, wah. Pride is mostly for those who are very high up, who might get a superiority complex or something lol, we're all on the bottom half, but just because there are many people farther up doesnt mean that we're not above others
e29a5a im.. kinda proud of this analogy though, because i think it works well for what many people can relate to, though i'd argue its mostly "envy" rather then "pride", but pride is still relevant due to both being the solution to the other.
fedf74 I try to push myself to get better at art but the thing is I suck at art and I keep trying but I feel like it goes nowhere
842b2e I think I'm probably near the middle, because I can see that I've improved from where I started, but I'm still aware that I can improve further. Only issue is that I don't rarely push myself to actually improve my art, lol.
e29a5a where you are isnt relevant, where others are is what matters. because its a balance of contradiction. You cant call yourself worthless compared to those above you because there will ALWAYS be someone thats worse. and you cant be overconfident because of those below you because there will ALWAYS be someone better.
e29a5a thats the thing though, no matter where you put yourself, on the grand scheme of things: there will always be someone above you, and there will always be someone below. you have to realize this and that your efforts arent in vain, because the progress you've made is more then many others have
fedf74 me when posting in the wrong channel
fedf74 yeah me and Ebag have the same shit school system so we both can't see it, its also why we have the same ID
854bfe I DID READ IT-
fedf74 I'm definetly on the envy side of things, I wish I could be good at art like most of the people on this site
e29a5a luna there is no way you read that word for word and said that with a straight face, please read it through, i know its alot, but it should help you.
e29a5a Finding balance between Pride & Envy, being able to gauge how far you've come AND how much further you want to improve, finding that equinox is how you truly find happiness and improve at a great and healthy pace. This isnt easy though, but being conscious of this analogy and focusing on it when you get in your feelings about either feeling like others are below your skill level, and feeling as though you'll never improve. You need to find a balance to work best
854bfe Oh... I assume I'm really low on the spire...?
e29a5a The Spire of Pride and Envy is an analogy I made up, Your position on the spire is where you're at artistically. Depending on what you focus on, being those who are on higher floors or lower floors then where you are, You either suffer from Pride: You look down at other people on the sprire and gain confidence for where you are compared to them, however too much Pride can make you grow ignorant to advice and constrictive criticism from others to help you, and you never bother looking up at those who are better then you to find a reason to try and improve. On the flip side, You can suffer from Envy: You constantly look up at those who are more skilled then you in your eyes, and your envy inspires you to take after those who you look up towards, However too much Envy can lead you to lose confidence in your own artwork due to comparing yourself to those above you, never looking down to see how far you've come, and those who might envy you the same way you envy others.
854bfe Wah-
e29a5a whew... okay... alotta yapping coming ahead, but i'd argue its imporant and relevant yapping
e29a5a okay so i havent talked to you about it... i guess i should say it here, its good for others to see this, but uh... i gtg for a minute, i'll brb
854bfe Doesn't ring a bell
e29a5a oh uh- themk you, wah
e29a5a Luna, wah, Spire of Pride and Envy, have i talked to you about it already or nah
cdeca6 You unfortunately don't- but I have seen your stuff and think you're a pretty cool person (imo)
e29a5a Riley... i dont think i know you, but you have the same name as an irl friend of mine, wah
854bfe I can't help it, I see artwork that I think looks better than mine and mine ends up looking like garbage
cdeca6 waoh. active chat,,.
57dac4 Ah, that's alright. No need to be sorry you goober *Pat pat*
e29a5a yes i use discord, but if you're gonna ask to friend me im sorry but i really have too many dms already, and i dont wanna ghost you on purpose
57dac4 Probs a strange question but do you use Discord, Ateo?
e29a5a You really need to have some fortitude for how you want your art to look like Luna, im not sure if i should say this now or in DMs later, you please do tell me if i've already spoke to you about "The Spire of Pride and Envy"
854bfe He did-
e29a5a dont answer that, i'd rather not dwell on it, anyways...
e29a5a ...also am i tripping or did bmo deadass ask terrie to breastfeed him, am i missing context?
e29a5a awah
e29a5a You just have to choose whatever makes your art look best, because hue shifting everything isnt just a cheat code to make everything look better all the time, its helpful for most things yes, but sometimes its best to not use it
854bfe I had used colors from a very nice looking 3D model from VRChat... so...
e29a5a anyways uhm, yeah! your noelle sprite has a very specific "pastel" hue going on, which...i mean, you can do some tweaks, but the fact i cant make a quick fix to hue shift this speaks volumes about how well made this is, and by proxy, your skills
854bfe Also I don't want people to view me negatively. A majority of this website HATE me...
You can leave feedback about PAM here, but please note that I don't have a lot of time to work on PAM at the moment. There are lots of other tools out there (see here for examples) in case you need a tool with more features. Thank you for your understanding!
