Di ako sure if dysphoria yung tamang term. I become really uncomfortable whenever I try to depict myself, create a character pang stand in sa sarili ko or even make one of my pre existing original characters be my stand in, kahit gano ka paman ka lapit or malayo sa itsura ko in person. Kaya napapala ko ngayon wala akong consistent na imahe as my profile pic and branding when I really really wanna try making my own mascot kumbaga, since I've made some before for other projects, just never one for myself.
Ive tried making a vibe/graphic based branding, kaso it doesnt really reflect what i actually paint and draw enough. Past critiques have brought up how trendy and fun it is magkaron ng mascot and I agree, artists I like have some kind of mascot for themselves. I find it very hard personally and Im not sure if its because of a condition, since its surely not self esteem. I can't depict myself even as my ideal self.
All inputs appreciated.
