She found you

Today is the last day I can pretend everything's gonna work out for them :,)

XINTH - THE BLACK COAT

hihiiiii :3 I know it's been a while but I got myself some markers and here is my first attempt with them!! Excited to try them out more

And YEA I am sorry about the complete lack of art lately... I just finished up a big zine project that I will hopefully be able to post about soon. And I've been doing a lot of sketchbook art just 4 me lately. Trying to re-learn how to do art for fun. Discovering myself, yannow, that kind of thing

I have been re-bit by the Hades II bug so more of that soon hopefully....

maybe I'll even start posting sketchy stuff? I'm such a perfectionist I almost never do that but I think it would be good for me, help me relax a bit

I don't use my art Twitter anymore but I did hear about the thing so I will be deleting my old Twitter. Reminder that I have a Bluesky!

16. how do you motivate yourself to draw?

Turn off the video essay/anime I'm watching and turn on one of my music playlists, browse pinterest for a bit until I remember what human beings look like, then put pencil to paper and scratch around until I find something. I usually turn the music off once I get the shape of a really good idea going 21. what do you think your artstyle would taste like?

answered here!

31. which fandom have you drawn the most for?

Wow, I don't know! If we are tallying up every drawing I have ever made in my whole life, over many many sketchbooks, then the answer is probably Homestuck since it's the fandom I started drawing for when I was 12 or so and I still draw it sometimes now. If my personal DND campaign counts as a 'fandom' then that's been winning several years in a row now... I've also done a lot of work for Cookie Run and the Owl House over the years!

13. talk about a wip you like!

ohhh man I am currently finishing up a HUGE project, I got the great honor of doing a cover for a big fanzine... that will be very exciting to reveal ! I am also currently working on a very angsty Nona the Ninth animatic that I hope to start focusing all my energy on soon... it will be very very cool and sad if it comes out the way I want it to. I love TLT so much

19. where do you find inspiration?

It's a broad question, and I defo do find inspiration all around me and everywhere, but I think my art journey has taken me through a lot of distinct 'zones'... the first time I ever really decided I wanted to be an artist was when I took great inspiration from Toastyglow and her works at the time, which has always been a great inspiration on my work... when Arcane came out that also had a HUGE effect on me. The works of artists Gloss and Antlerpunk are big inspirations right now, in kind of opposite directions, haha. One is very 'glossy' rendering and bright pastel colors, the other is really scratchy punk linework and exaggerated proportions. Right now I've been watching a lot of shojo anime like Utena and Magic Knight Rayearth, and that's been having an effect on my work too! Just learn to love a lot of things from a lot of different places, your love will bleed into your creations if you practice it actively enough!

6. favorite thing to draw?

hot women. I am very boring in this respect. Fat women buff women small women tall women

21. what do you think your artstyle would taste like?

uhhhhh oh geez. A decaf macchiato maybe? Something very smooth and creamy, and chocolatey. kinda feels like it's missing something tho

24. whats a compliment about your art that has always stuck with you?

I am lucky and I have received many many many nice comments over the years, I always love to hear them, but I believe this one has stuck with me the most

tagged on my Aphrodite post. Idk I think about this a lot. I got a lot of hate on this post on other social media sites I care less about but if it made even one person feel pretty then it was all worth it. Sorry if that sounds patronizing

3. your favorite piece(s)? ahhhh gosh, probably that Aphrodite Hades 2 painting I made? I feel like that one turned out really well haha, the composition and the lighting and background all feel rly solid to me. I also really like that Ted Lasso fanart I made a while back, it's a screenshot study but I realized that I am really good at caricature of real ppl under the right circumstance. I should try stuff like that again

11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? Really really depends! If I'm sketching something out, I find I work best with no music at all, unless I'm making something directly inspired on certain songs... once I start lining/rendering tho I watch a lot of video essays 30. whats something you're proud of about your artstyle?

ohhh gosh um. Well I generally prefer other peeople's artstyles to my own but what rly makes me stand out is usually my rendering work... I put a lot into texturing skin and faces and hair and stuff and it makes all my digital art take forever to make sometimes but at least it's always my own... hah

ask game here and I would love to get more questions !!
