6, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 27 for the artist ask meme! (tbqh i want to ask ALL the question but i will refrain.)

6) anything that might inspire you subconsciously

uhhh i don't know! i feel like i'm very bad at being inspired by art honestly, i kind of just do whatever i feel like without thinking about it too hard. so probably all my inspirations are subconscious and i can identify exactly None of them

8) what's an old project idea that you've lost interest in

pretty much every comic idea i've ever had! also every few years i like to go "i'm going to draw all 151 original pokemon" and then my enthusiasm for that idea inevitably peters out around pikachu

9) what are your file name conventions

i don't really have one! i've got a lot better recently at naming my psd files something relevant to what they are so i can find them later, but i still have a really shitty habit of naming the flat version after a line from whatever song i'm listening to at that moment. some picked-at-random examples of what i name shit: "2card mahou shoujo outfits 2 winston", "are gifted just for being human" "eszry but make i t goth", "wheneverlifegetsyoudownkeepsyouwearingafrown" "work work work big copy". my current wip is called "splatted toons".

10) favourite piece of clothing to draw

okay so fun fact the most offended (joking, affectionate) i've ever been about a comment someone made on my art was "trust hap to make it regency era" when first of all i had absolutely not done that all i had done was was indulge my love for floofy-sleeved shirts and big stupid coats and second of all EXCUSE U i hate regency fashion actually i think it's hideous my TRUE LOVE lies almost a century earlier in the first half of the 18th c when waistcoats were worn long and coats had full skirts & cuffs big enough to smuggle a four-course banquet in.*

also i really like drawing poofy pantaloons. they are very cute and the shapes make me happy.

15) where do you draw

sitting at my computer desk! even traditional art mostly gets drawn here bc it's where all my supplies seem to end up. i am not a tidy man the most i ever do is keep things in vaguely-accessible piles oops

27) do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? if so, what is it you draw to warm up with

i don't do specific warm-ups but i always do rough gesture sketches for everything i draw which serves pretty much the same function as far as getting me loosened up goes. if the speeddraw videos i watch on youtube are at all indicative of how the average not-me person goes about drawing then this does not seem very common? other people seem to launch directly into it, the absolute madlads. terrifying!!

*okay this is irrelevant to art questions but i need to make it clear my affection for early-18th c. clothing has nothing to do with the gay pirate show and everything to do with a couple years ago i got really really obsessed with frankenstein for a while. this may or may not be more cringe than liking it because ofmd actually. also i got into sea shanties years before those were briefly popular so in conclusion god just super wants me to be an i-liked-it-before-it-was-cool hipster about stuff

#hap answers #askbox meme #dedicatedfollower467 #there's nothing technically wrong with regency fashion if you like that sort of thing i just hate it because it'd look awful on my bodytype #whereas the earlier stuff would be way more flattering esp. wrt disguising the parts of my anatomy i want disguised
