    I kinda had someone like that for a little bit, it’s why I started doing some art stuff. too bad they just kinda vanished without a word after weeks of telling me how great of a friend I am.

      Yeah that can happen. It’s real work on both sides to maintain a relationship like that, and in my experience it usually doesn’t work out forever. It’s still worth it for the while that it does work, though.

      Probably best to move on and find a new such person.

      What kind of stuff do you make?

        it’s sucked because noone ever seem to be this interested in me, but whatever.

        Tbh I’m a total newbie at art. I’ve been trying to draw and play the piano for many years but I usually just give up after a couple of weeks of trying, so I’m not good at neither.

        I kinda got into Vrchat last year and ended up spending two and a half months making an avatar from scratch.

        I’ve recently started a character drawing course on Udemy so I can make my own reference art for 3D modeling. It’s gonna take a while but I’m just trying to enjoy the process.

          Oh nice! So you made like a 3D avatar? Closest I’ve come to that is getting really detailed with character creation in games, but I get how it’s fun to design a character.

          I’m a lifelong doodler, but never seem to be able to stick to courses. I just kind of take little pieces from each as a bumble along.

          RE interest yeah I’ll admit to not being very interested in anyone else’s progress other than my own, but it’s nice to get some “check ins” from time to time, like how a course is going or whatever.
