I found you through your PMVs and you ended up helping me discover one of my favorite artists of all time!!! I really love your art,,, :0 your use of color is SO GOOD…….
aw tysm you're very kind! it makes me happy to know my pmvs brought you here & inspired you as well! making vids on yt was (& still is) soso fun for me, and it's so cool that people continue to like them lil experimental cat films i made way back when! thank you so much anon 🥳
stumbled across your art while lookin at inspiration for dnd npcs, and your colors !! and lines !! are so nice !! i want to put it in my mouth and crunch on it !! while i quietly add you to my collection of cool people with cool art for inspiration, may i ask what program you use? would also love to know pretty much anything about your art process tbh !! :o -mars
hello mars!
i'd like to apologize for keeping your ask in my inbox for so long. truthfully, it's been some time since i've drawn, but i've kept your message throughout the years in my inbox to inspire & remind me to come back again soon. thank you for appreciating my dnd work especially! it's the type of work that i relate closest to, and i'm happy to know that is resonates with others as much as other work i've shared. it means the world!
for my current process, i use procreate + rusty nib brush packs for all my digital illustrations - but in the past, i used photoshop + kyle webster dry brushes! for color, i use any sort of textured watercolor wash (brush or image overlay) on a rendering mode over my flat colors to make them more dimensional! i often use the same brush i sketch with to line my work as well; pencil or bristle brushes tend to have more variety in texture, width, and opacity that add a lot of dimension to lines than a usual harder edged ink liner. lastly, i tend to duplicate the lineart after its finished, change the color to something like a saturated pink or teal, and set that cloned layer on a rendering mode like 'pin light' to make the whole thing "glow" - fun way to also add dimension!
thank you so much again for taking the time to send such a kind ask to lil ol me - i hope this long overdue answer reaches you & helps you on your journey! 🥹🙏
i came for the fire emblem art and now im hooked completely on everything you make. im obsessed. i love your use of colour right obvi but theres so much energy and dynamic and imagination. i was watching those warrior cat videos with zero context last night completely enthralled. bril!!cheers to you!
you are so incredibly kind, thank you so much!!! i know this has been sitting in my inbox for a while but i appreciate you loving my work regardless of what its about; thats what i hope for! cheers to you as well and cheers to another new fire emblem game coming soon so i can make art for it again! 🙏😉💓⭐️
hi, i just wanted to let you know that i found your art on pinterest and you can report it if you find it (id send a direct link but tumblr wont let me). it's specifically ur warrior cats fanart.
!!! thank you for telling me!!! if possible send me a dm, or a submission with the person’s username so i can go there directly and report it. thank you so much!
i have always been so in lov with ur art, what do u think has inspired ur sense of design? how do u come up with them? i’d love to know more abt ur creative process!!! ily hope u have wonderful day <3
thank you so much anon!!! you’re too sweet!!! in all honesty i’ve been staring at this message for a few months now wondering the most helpful way to answer this; and all i can come up with is to just grab inspiration from your fellow artists! take it!!! tastefully steal the way your favorite artists draw noses, or do compositions, or mix colors; artists grow their artstyles only by absorbing whats around them. keep photo albums and folders filled with art that inspires you, study it, and make what you love about it your own! and along the way, youll find a technique that hits that gong in your head that says “that’s it! i like that! i’m gonna do that again!!!”
of course, i have to clarify to those who might take this the wrong way: never just steal artwork and change it slightly; HEAVY referencing should only be used in personal studies (like sketching the way an artist draws a pose in order to understand what strokes they made to get to the final product) and shouldn’t be the foundation of your all the art you make!
with that being said, have fun yoinking and interpreting things you find cool!!! i give you full permission to study/reference aspects of my own art if you wish as well!!!
hope you have a wonderful day anon, and i hope this helps!
Would you be okay with someone getting your art tattooed? I'm obsessed with your scourge drawing and would love to get it on my arm!! I would donate to your kofi obviously! :)
i’d be totally ok with it omg!!! i would be honored!! 🥺💖 the only thing i ask is that u send me pics of when its done!!! >:3ccc
