11:11 Art Blog Launch

Okay.. where do I begin?

Let’s do a mini mandatory intro post! My name is Jasmine (I used to go by Suikou1111). I am currently a fulltime freelance art illustrator but I hope to expand my reach to creating my own merch and hopefully able to publish my own works —be it written or drawn— physicially. Being an artist have been a childhood dream of mine since I was in kindergarten and after contemplating for years whether this is the right path for me or not I decided it’s time to stop being flimsy and insecure and to have faith in my art!

Now on to the blog itself, I have been wanting to move my carrd to a blogspot like this since August or Sept but it was teddious work-ish and it’s been YEARS since the last time I blogged or use blogger.. and I’m pretty sure Blogger removed some features because the customization options are not as fun as it used to be —would you believe me if I say that I used to run a beauty blog with my bestie back in highschool?? I also managed to get a KOREAN brand review requested by their rep.. it was of a lip crayon by IASO, they’re pretty good tbh but idk if they still produce those.. — anyways back to topic, yes I put the little migration on hold just like my many art projects but here we are!

I honestly think I did a good job, for someone rusty that is. I haven’t touched HTML {I won’t count copy pasting or Frankensteining Toyhouse codes to be ‘Coding Work’ tbh} since highschool and I’m gonna be 29 in 9 days. But I’m so proud.. and happy.. I will mostly be posting about my art journeys, and projects obviously as well as other stuffs. 

I want to post on this blog 2-3x a week at most, maybe more and once a month at least. Previously I wanted to make a series of outfit collections just like how the fashion industry does fashion week but I sort of lost interest in the middle and I overthink things because my Twitter account was doing so bad and ngl that discourage me a lot.. THAT plus someone I met online has once told me that I was ‘invicible’ despite participating in monthlys, server events and even participating as Guest Artist.

I stopped being friend with that person after recognizing many passive aggressive behavior from them but *sigh* their words did get to me from time to time. Looking back, they’re wrong though because people do recognize my art and my design, despite me experimenting A LOT with brushes and rendering style. I’m forever grateful for anyone who has gone out of their ways to comment or DMed me about my art. You guys are literal angels!! But yeah, most of the times people are just projecting their insecurities, I think, it’s just sad bc more often than not these people masked themselves as our ‘friend’.

Character outfit collection would have to wait because I’m giving [writing] another chance. NGL I’m also rusty in that department so hopefully by writing for this blog I get to improve T_T

Anyways that’s it for the first post as I have to go now and do my workout.. but see you on the next post and thank you for reading!! Also feel free to drop a comment or something!
