Introducing Me As A Struggling Artist In A Millennial Era

Here is my old artwork that I did back in 2014. :)

It is now 1:10 am in Malaysia and I am about to go to sleep. So I thought it would be cool to introduce myself a bit. I am Rai, a 25 year old lady living in her small apartment and about to start a new job at a new anime studio as a 2D animator/digital painter.

I worked as a 3D layout artist before at another 3D animation company until my contract ended so after searching tirelessly for jobs( almost gave up actually :"D ) I finally got offered a job after a quite pleasant interview.

So for now I am just chilling while also taking time to do commissions for my clients just to get some extra money. The rent isn't gonna pay itself and as far as I'm concerned I need food and water to live as well as other necessities.. so it is a bit difficult but I won't complain that much since I am still unmarried and I don't have much responsibilities other than rent itself.

My hobbies obviously include watching psychologically aesthetic movies and shows. I absolutely love drawing as you can tell and might soon share lots of my art with you. My style is more to colourful and vibrant so I hope you can bear with me because there will be a lot coming up.

As you can see I aspire to be a professional artist. Not just a 2D animator because I really love drawing and I know it is not as easy as it sounds. I still have a lot to learn and I always learn from everyone I know because every little thing counts when you're an artist if anyone can relate.

Other than that, I feel like I was ranting lol but hopefully I don't sound like I'm annoying since this is my very first blog ever.. so sorry if it bugs you that I probably talked too much. Haha.

Like my about me suggest, I think a lot. I am in my head a lot and the overthinking tend to drain me more than I got used to now since I have to really take care of myself and it is not a joke anymore. So when I lie down on my bed.. I overthink a lot to a point thay it stresses me out and makes me feel anxious so I really hope that blogging could help me with the overthinking issues so bear with me if I talk a lot.

I have never ever done blogging seriously in my life. I used to do it when I was a teen and only took notice of it for first few blogs then I immediately left because I was more interested in uploading artworks at other places like Deviantart for example.

As I grew up I became distant to blogging because I never had the right amount of time to blog properly and now that I am actually grown enough, I realized that I need to transfer all the energy that my mind excessively have into one boring blog.

So yeah, I guess that is it for today. I hope I can blog regularly because I find it really therapeutic.. since I had no one here with me to talk to. I do have someone but at the end of the day you only have yourself so yeah!

Hope you will follow along with my journey as an artist and as a human being and if you want to know more feel free to comment down below.

I hope that everyone had a good day or night and I will see you in my next blog.
