I Too Was Helped Out Of A Rut With Drawing Due To Good Omens! It Really Has Helped Me Fight My Depression

I too was helped out of a rut with drawing due to Good Omens! It really has helped me fight my depression and battle with my self confidence. ☺️

I also have joined a few discords myself, but also struggle with the anxiety and shyness, but have made some new friends because of it!

It warms my heart to see that Good Omens has helped others the same way that it has helped me. 💖

Thank you to Terry Pratchett and @neil-gaiman for such an inspiring story!

Like many people this year, I watched Good Omens and was instantly smitten and inspired. I had read the book when I was in college, but for some reason it didn’t grab me the way the TV series did. Before watching GO, I was in a creative rut. I’d finished my first year as a teacher and it was such a demanding and stressful experience that my art was left to languish. I barely drew at all until August of this year.

But watching Good Omens in July made me want to start drawing again. As you can see, I was super productive in August! I cranked out those six pieces in about three weeks, which for me is mind-boggling. This chart isn’t even including all the WIPs I’ve posted, fanart of other fics, coloring of other artists’ lineart, and my Big Bang pieces.

This story pulled me out of a rut I thought I’d never get out of. I honestly thought I might never draw again, and was fighting deep depression over it. And on top of my burst of inspiration, I found a miraculous fandom that has been so encouraging and welcoming, full of warm people who are so kind and genuine. I’ve joined multiple Discords, am participating in a Big Bang, and slowly starting to open up to people. I don’t chat on Discord as much as I wish I did, but I’m working on it! I’m still shy and anxious at heart.

Anyway, I just want to say thank you to @neil-gaiman and Terry Pratchett for such a beautiful story and I want to thank this fandom for being radically kind. Here’s to the next year, everyone.

I had actually seen it 2 years ago but decided to watch it again now. Haha! Glad I did.

@thegirlwithrocketshiptattoos Welp, I did a thing. :D This shall be a WIP.

Cause you know, barbers were also doctors at one point in time.

It would be awesome to have Scream Fortress cosmetics based off of Sweeney Todd for Medic.

I did a doodle of ghost Kirby that a friend of mine and I stumbled upon. We both love creepy-cute things so ghost Kirby is a huge win!

Inspired by Spirit Kirby from Squeak Squad.

An important message. Now I personally don’t think TF2 is out to be sexist, because frankly they make fun of masculinity left and right. It just makes fun of that time period in general!

However, I’d like to see more from Zhanna, Yana, Bronislava, Miss Pauling, the Administrator, Heavy’s Mom, Scout’s Mom, Demoman’s Mom, Olivia and Maggie! (*cough*MaybeSomeFemMercs?*cough*)

But quite simply, I just wanted to draw a quick Zhanna because she’s amazing, beautiful and crazy! I love her.

Also I do ship her with Soldier. They’re one of my main OTPs. ≧◡≦
