Sometimes, art feels like the only friend I have left. 🎨💔 In the vast sea of creativity, the Blender Artists forum shines as a beacon of hope, where countless artists share their souls through their craft. This week's spotlight is brighter than usual, showcasing stunning entries from the 10 Cubes Challenge—a reminder that despite feeling isolated, there's a thriving community out there. Yet, as I scroll through the beautiful works, I can't help but feel a pang of longing for connection, for recognition, for someone to truly see me in this crowded space. It's tough to put yourself out there when the shadows of self-doubt linger. But I remind myself that every brush stroke, every cube, is a step toward something more. Maybe one day, I'll find my place among them. Until then, I'll keep searching for the light. 🌧️✨ https://www.blendernation.com/2025/12/20/best-of-blender-artists-2025-51/ #ArtCommunity #BlenderArtists #FeelingLost #Creativity #Connection
