hi. hello. i have things to say and it felt wrong to not say them directly to you !!!

i have been freaking out for hours now frankly. every time you put pen to paper you manage to draw the most gorgeous jaw dropping stunning beautiful masterpeice of a Person ive ever seen. it is genuinely baffling to me how beautiful these characters are in your style. i think what really draws me to it is how odd they look? they are out of the ordinary. dare i say queer. im sure some people without any thought might just say they are downright ugly. none of these weirdos are conforming to any sort of physical standard and it is so refreshing see someone embrace that sort of thing so openly and so unceremoniously!!! i hope i am not reading too far into it and my perspective is somewhere near your intention. i am a very avid fan of the idea that most if not all characters in homestuck are queer and neurodivergent in some form of manner and i really connect to your art in this aspect. it's not something that's being pushed, it's just. thats how it Is. that's how they are. and you capture that so honestly for me. golly it makes me feel a type of way

hope this isn't too weird haha thanks for being an artist!

Thank you so much for this it really lit up my day !!! I was trying to think all day yesterday about what Iโ€™d say cause I knew whatever it was would be lengthy. But you got it completely!!! Iโ€™ve done the conventionally on model art in the past and it just got repetitive and boring. Past few years esp as Iโ€™ve been figuring my own queerness out and being around my friends more Iโ€™ve just found so much more joy in drawing these place holder characters in series,

as people I see. Thereโ€™s a much freedom in these little stubby sprites I was really excited to finish the series and give them fully fleshed out designs.

Because itโ€™s not just my art itโ€™s In homestuck itself. Characters like Sollux, Jane, and Jake are 3 characters whoโ€™s whole descriptions depict them as โ€œunconventionalโ€ yet these 3 are sought after by the whole damn cast, they are the big swoons and hunks. Characters described as fat with prominent buck teeth and overbites. These features are mostly seen as ugly in fandom art but like you said itโ€™s just real, whether others like it or not. I love drawing characters that are like me, my boyfriend, my friends, and other queer people in general!!! This hasnโ€™t always been the most appreciated by others in the past and as much as I have my own problems with the hs community it is nice to know this space has been the most accepting of my art :)))โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ it means the world that you and others are able to feel so deeply about these little sketches and doodles I do. It gives me inspiration when I havenโ€™t been able to find it much lately.
