Fan Art

[Yankopunk]

I love seeing everyone's artwork. I only wish I could draw, as well.

Why not start now? You've seen my first artwork... Seirously, the necks I drew were LITERALLY LINES WTF WAS WRONG WITH ME

Art improves. I've been doing it for a year now. Don't say 'I can't draw' BECAUSE YOU CAN. Just do it every day, and you'll get better.

Well, I pretty much can't, sadly. My nerves are messed up due to illness and injury, and so my motor skills have always been quite poor. My handwriting sucks, don't ask me to try and cut anything with scissors, and I can't really do anything that requires great precision (when I built my computer, I had to have someone install the parts, for instance). I'll also have times where I have no feeling in my limbs.

Oh... I'm so sorry! I didn't know that...

I have dysgraphia, so I can't write either, but...

I'm really sorry, I ruined everying aAAAAAAA I'M SO SORRY

[Yankopunk]

Yeah, all that horrible stuff I had talked about in The Legend of Yankopunk had a great deal to do with my condition.

Don't be sorry. It's fine. I'm just glad that I can appreciate others' great work, and that there's a nice place here at WOWAY that is fine with someone really messed up like me.

Hmm, I wonder if it would be possible to sort of "use" your uncoordinatedness to create some interesting abstract works. If you really wanted to create visual art, that might be an interesting (and possibly fun) way.

[Yankopunk]

I've considered that. Ultimately, I'm more into other kinds of creating, I guess. Put me in front of or behind a camera, at an edit bay, or on stage, and I'm good.

It's just a bit embarrassing to have poor motor skills. It would be nice to have better handwriting (I love writing letters and cards, even if it's a bit weird nowadays given all forms of communication), be able to cut a straight line, etc.

[Sappho]

That's cool. Create how you want, in the end.

And honestly I don't think you need to be ashamed of poor motor skills, there are lots of people who have (supposedly ) proper motor skills who still have horrible handwriting

[Yankopunk]

Nowadays, it's mostly writing. I don't need a cast, crew, or live audience for that.

I've been lucky so far that people can read my handwriting. I get an occasional "WTF?" when I handwrite a note or letter, though. I just think it's more meaningful and personal.

[Sappho]

Yeah, no one actually writes letters anymore, except for the occasional birthday or Christmas card I guess. That's why, on those rare occasions that I do send fan letters I like to hand write them.
