hsdbvhsbvhb yeah ,, hahaha I had a hyperfixation on it in 2020, but they're still rotating in my brain now from time to time.....

they're both dumb i love them

btw !! I made an animatic of them back then I'm still really proud of if you haven't watched it yet!!

Some doodles 🕺🏽💃🏽🕺🏽💃🏽

Been thinking about an old hyperfixation lately, and they’re both queer because i said so

The original manga/anime is kinda transphobic sometimes (it’s from the 80s….) so here’s my version where they support trans and gay rights ok

I’m not sure about the exact definition, but a “hyperfixation” is a term used by neurodiverse people (ad(h)d or autism for exemple) for when they’re really passionate about something? Like for me it’s usually some kind of media like tv shows, animation, movies, video games, music bands… on a long time span (from 6 months to a couple of years). It’s a thing I don’t see a lot of people talking about, and I found out about it only recently (when I got diagnosed with add actually). Before that, I always thought I was a bit weird for being obsessed by something to the point where I’m thinking about it everyday all day long, but it’s actually pretty common and ok! :’D

I wrote this explanation based on my personal experience, so I could be wrong on the exact definition, please let me know if I said anything incorrect!

The years that you’ll see mentioned on top of the titles are the years I got the hyperfixation in question (and not the date of release of the media).

I only put my main hyperfixations here, but there were also a few minor ones that I didn’t include like Harry Potter (around 2011), WTC and SLG (two YouTube channels that I watched a lot when I was like 14 or something, so around 2015), musicals (around 2021)…

I’ve always felt a bit embarrassed about my hyperfixations, because some of them can be a bit controversial or because I’m scared other people might find it weird or cringe to like something very passionately? But they also hold a special place in my heart as some of them helped to make me what I am today, or just made me feel very happy. 💖

I guess the reason why I’m making this post is to talk more about this thing that some brains do, so people like me who felt self-conscious and didn’t know about this can be passionate about what they love more freely, as the famous quote says: « I am cringe but I am free ».✨💫✨💫✨

(And also just for fun, I wanted to draw again all those things that inspired me a lot)

I colored some doodles I liked from my current sketchbook, I’ve been trying some different artstyles lately, and I really like this cute chibi style, it’s fun to draw!! 

Also I was inspired by several cool artists for this style: @bear_patrol , @mariespenale , @apple_toast , @_timea.wenger_ (please go check out their work they’re amazing) (also the style of far away characters in Steven Universe and Animal Crossing inspired me)   

(also I forgot to draw Seán’s beard I’m sorry jfhdhfjxhd)

im still thinking about them ...

I wanted to try some brushes and have fun

A City Hunter animatic I’ve been working on, you can watch it on my YouTube channel!

I think they’d be friends 

actually I’m not so sure about that, I just like to think they’d be friends

Sugar Boy Kaori

I like this 80/90s vhs aesthetic

Kaori (香) means “scent” 

this took me way longer to make than I thought it would, and I really don’t enjoy making something that I can’t finish in one go because I can’t stop myself from overthinking about everything that looks wrong hhhhh that’s why sometimes I stay awake all night to finish something before I start to hate it h a h a h a (also fun fact! I had this comic idea while doing a nap, which is something I’m not really used to do, so I guess this nap wasn’t so useless for once)

some artstyle studies again, this time inspired by the work of Tsukasa Hōjō! Those are so fun to do, I love analyzing what makes an artstyle recognizable and try to mimic it

(I’m putting some “” because I’m just copying the caption from instagram and it was from a while ago so yeah (i was going though a big artblock at that moment, I’m glad i’m better now))

“I’m almost done with my exams and I wanted to share some drawings that I did of City Hunter recently when I had five minutes of break in the middle of school stuff, because I’ve been watching a lot of it these days, and I tried some new stuff with the colors and style idk??? artblock is still kinda here but I’m working on it, I’m currently trying to understand how I want my style to look like (also most of these are redraws of screenshots from the anime so they weren’t painful to make haha) and I guess I’m kinda proud of the way I’m drawing noses now????? Like I said I’m working on it but yeah”
