    I've recently been thinking about things that haven't been represented in the Fantasy space or popular media. Most prominent in those thoughts is a creature I became aware of last year, the Aralez. The Aralez is a creature from Armenian mythology; it is described as a winged dog-like creature that descends from the heavens to revive fallen heroes. And I would love to see the Aralez get translated as a D&D monster; it's basically a celestial counterpart to the Hellhound, and its mythology has a lot of potential as plot points and prompts for adventures.
    Or maybe you could draw a cute version of an Aralez as a companion for one of your friends, much like Leaf is your cute companion in your art that has you in it. Since the Aralez is so obscure on the world stage, I think it is important to at least see a few people give it the attention it probably should have gotten ages ago.

  • @illuanan
    @illuanan 10 місяців тому +25

    As someone who has been researching about ADHD, your struggles with starting a drawing really resonated with me. Although it may not mean I have ADHD and may just be a symptom of anxiety or just my perfectionism speaking, it felt nice to hear that someone had the same struggles. I'll have to give this app a try!

  • @jackwriter1908
    @jackwriter1908 10 місяців тому +36

    So, I am not an artist, so I can't say I know how it feels having a drawing-block(?), but I can relate at having problems getting motivated... But watching other people do stuff, like drawing and crafting videos I am starting wanting to do something.
    So in a way...
    Thanks, for helping me more then one time getting out of the productivity-low, I get so often stuck in.

    I've been in the cycle of not having time to draw then having art block because of it for half a year now. My skills have degraded a bit since, so now my perfectionism is also working against me getting back to drawing again. Its encouraging to hear that one of my favorite artists also has to deal with things like this.
    Also I've never commented on one of your videos before so I just want to tell you that I really like your channel and the stuff you draw!

    Just want to mention how much you as a creator mean to me. It's hard to find other neurodivergent people who actually talk about their brain weirdness, and so you make me feel a lot less out of place. Also, listening to all the stuff you do to make your ADHD brain do art is very helpful for me haha

    This app truly is great for getting through art block. The limited artistic features such as pen pressure and other drawing tools make you think differently about the works you create and, in turn, provide a lovely break from the sheer amount of options drawing platforms have. Going back to your preferred art program after having fun with Spark really makes you appreciate drawing again.

    BTW
    If you want to do different prompts that aren’t in the canvas, you can just use prompts from other people (or even the past) by tapping on the caption of a spark, then pressing the arrow. It’s really good if you want to bookmark other people’s creations and save prompts that interest you for later :DD

    As a fellow ADHD-haver, I can’t express how reassuring it is to hear someone else talk about the momentum issue too. I’ve been using that term for a few years now - a way to explain that once I’m in motion, I can stay in motion, but it’s so hard to start that ball rolling - and I feel like it’s not super common to hear other people explain it that way, too. I might have to download this even though I don’t really do digital art, the premise seems like it could work well enough that I could manage

    As someone who has been diagnosed with ADD since 6. It has honestly been a struggle going from productive times that last maybe a week, sometimes a month at most, to up to six months of art block. My worst period was almost ten months of art block. It was a time where my brain was constantly fuzzy.
    I’ll try spark out to try and get over my current burnout. Seems like a cute app.

    my issue with spark isn’t the app itself, it’s just that (despite being an artist) i am not a very creative person, so the prompts aren’t very helpful to me. also, when i open the app, each time i try to create an avatar, i always swipe back to the main page and lose all my progress, and that is 1. a pain the ass and 2. _indescribably_ frustrating. just my grievances.
