What the FUCK your art is... So good. Just SO good! I love the style!
I do have a question too, though (sorry? Maybe?). Is your background primarily in manga/anime and/or do you mostly base it on more realistic forms of anatomy (so figure drawing or sth)?
I understand there is always going to be a mix of backgrounds, btw! And maybe it's a symptom of me not being a major anime/manga fan, unable to tell what is what, I just love your style and would love to know how you got started and developed from there!
hi, thank you!
it’s a little bit difficult to answer your question because i’m unsure what you’re basing your distinction between manga/anime and ‘realistic forms of anatomy’ on π€ if you’re asking whether i started by emulating the style of this or that anime/manga, then no, i didn’t! i took some art classes as a child; they were nothing special but we were taught the basics of proportions and did figure drawing as well as drew from imagination (and i still do figure drawing and study human anatomy of course, that hasn’t stopped). roughly speaking, my knowledge of anatomy comes from real people, cause that’s where anatomy comes from haha. but in my experience, looking at & studying animation and comics done by other artists can help you understand how to portray something in a dynamic fashion.
Hi not a question but i want to just say how incredible your art is! I mean im sure you know but its so stunning im obsessed!! If i could eat your art i would π. The lines, the colors, the textured look it has, everything about it is so beautiful! Anyways i hope youre having a good day βΊοΈ
i just woke up and am having an excellent day already because i’ve received this beautiful compliment π₯Ί thank you!
listen as a person who is familiar with pokemon only in the most superfluous of ways (loved it as a child, remember nothing aside from the fact that tangela was my favorite) i had to google what snom is and i am not going to lie, i still don’t know why snom has a butt for a face. i love them though, thank you
HEY FRIENDS i’m just here to say big thank you to y'all for being so sweet to me, a silly little stranger on the internet, and sending so many happy birthday wishes. i’ve received a truly obscene amount of cat pics that have made me smile a lot in the past three days, and i’m really grateful to you for taking real life actual time out of your day to share some love! this is what my inbox looks like right now on desktop:
that’s love baby!
(i’ve actually read all of those messages on mobile, tumblr is just a terrible website full of bugs that displays the unread badge on desktop until you click on your inbox icon) (and that’s not even all of them, there had been like 50 more messages before that)
thank you again for the cats and the tips for my sexy art (my strawberry & cream birthday cake was sponsored by you π₯Ί) and the nice eggs in this trying time. i love all of those eggs and also you
^^^ i was searching for a kissy gif and this one randomly popped up. might as well
Happy belated birthday! I was having my lunch break scrolling Tumblr and scrolled down to see your name and instantly scrolled so fast like NEW ART????? It was a birthday cat so I hope you had a lovely birthday! I'm in the AIFL discord server and we are just big fans of your beautiful works xoxo
birthday cats are keeping this blog alive because i’ve been incredibly busy with work and life and haven’t been drawing much fanart π and i don’t know this aifl discord you’re speaking of (apologies, i’m a fandom recluse) but i’m glad y'all like my art π thank you!
happy birthday :3 i just wanna say your style is super inspirational those little visible lines you use for shading and backgrounds are so you and incredible and i just love them
