🧸CHAPTER ONE} I like you more than a roommate

Next chapter

Paring: roommate!Hyunjin X fem reader

Rating: mature (eventually explicit)

Genre: friends to lovers, fluff, eventual smut

Chapter Warnings/things: storms

!THIS IS PURE FICTION, NOTHING IN THIS IS REAL ITS JUST A STORY!

Your roommate Hyunjin is slowly catching feelings for you. You get more clingy to him as he helps you through your needs and issues, he loves you but doesn’t know how to show it.

A/n: I’ve been working on this for a bit and I can’t be bothered finishing majority of this chapter since I wanna get it out.

P.s: I haven’t edited this chapter and probably won’t bc I can’t be bothered, also no TWS for this chapter.

I sit back, focusing on the sound of my paint brush sweeping across the canvas, creating a beautiful image of a mermaid in a lagoon. I haven’t slept all night due to working on this painting, though I did steal this plain canvas from my roommate, he probably wouldn’t mind.

“I’m back! Dance practice was really tiring.. my shoulder hurts..” And there he is. My roommate himself, Hyunjin. I laugh slightly, moving away from my art to greet him. “Couldn’t you just take a break from dancing? Have sometime to yourself maybe, you know.. I’m always here if you feel like hanging out. it’s break after all. “

He looks at me, tilting his head to the side and scratching his neck. “I’m down for hanging out. I’m pretty sure today was our last dance session anyways" i gasp in joy after hearing that he'll finally have time to rest. "Yay! I guess we can do some art stuff then, I’ll show you what I've been doing" a warm smile forms on my face as i take his hand in mine, leading him over to the painting I’m currently working on.

“Wow.. the background blends so nicely!” He gasps, rubbing my shoulder with pride.

I feel my cheeks flush slightly, but smile.

"It’s nothing much. Just my usual style, I’m not sure if I like how the water looks or not"

Hyunjin 's hand stays on my shoulder for a few seconds longer before he parts his lips to speak again. “The water looks incredible, i would say I could do better but i can’t.”

My face heats up once again after listening to his pitiful, yet comfortable comments being thrown at me.

I walk out of our art closet, (which is basically a small closet we made into a mini art studio) and gently place my painting on the windowsill. The breeze is slightly cold, i close the window to keep warm. Shivering, I grab one of Hyunjin’s hoodies and slide it over my shirt, it’s a bit baggy but whatever. “What are you drawing?” I ask as i sit beside him again, hugging my knees to my chest due to the sudden change of the weather.

“Just someone” he mumbles. My eyes can’t help but look at how pretty he is when concentrating; hair tied back, eyebrows slightly frowned. I notice his face looking pale, i shuffle closer, lightly touching his cheek with my knuckle. “Your cold.. give me a minute.” I stand up, making my way to the kitchen and turning the kettle on. I get out two mugs, pouring in warm milk, coco, sugar and adding some marshmallows for each one. Two hot chocolates coming up!u

I waddle back into the room slowly stumbling as I hold the drinks that are filled to the brim.

“Here you go!” I giggle, handing him one of the hot chocolates, receiving a hug in response.

“Ah thanks .. I’m gonna get into bed, it’s gonna storm later. You can join me if you’d like, I know you don’t like storms.” He groans, chucking his sketchbook on the ground and pulling the covers over him. My eyes watch his movements, he sips his drink and puts it on a small table next to his bed.

I get in my own bed, admiring his features from a far.

A few hours past, he’s asleep already. I sigh, staring at the ceiling. It’s already raining and the storm is gliding over to us, *buzz.. buzz* the light starts flickering as the power goes out.

“N-no..please don’t do this to me tonight.. n-no.. no..” i clench my sheets and cry softly.

“J-Jinnieee.. w-wake up, it’s scary..”

I sob louder, shaking from the cold and my fears.

“Jinnie…” I lay down under the sheets with him

“Hm?.. Hey Shh, you’re okay. Come here.” Hyunjin moves closer to me, hugging me tightly as my tears soak through his shirt. “The storm is outside. You’re safe in here with me. It’s not gonna get us”

“B-but what if it d-“ My words are cut off as my head pushes into his chest, before I know it he’s leaving soft kisses on my head while continuing to soothe me. “I… I..” I let my eyes look at his lips for a sec then back to his eyes. My arms tighten around him as i cry myself to sleep.

hi!! Your art is incredible and awesome... not sure how to say it otherwise but it's super tasty looking lol 🫶

I was wondering if you have ever posted what brushes do you use ? I am always on the lookout for nice brushes! Also if you've got any tips for inking, I'd appreciate it enormously. No worries if not! 💕

hi, thanks so much!

i mostly just use whatever defaults came with clip studio paint. for inking, my go-to is the the default marker pen brush (under the marker tab in pens), but sometimes i'll swap to the calligraphy one (should be in the pen tab), or this brush but with the pen pressure turned off. just depends on how i'm feeling about whatever i'm inking. when i want to add some texturing when toning, i use stuff like the spray or diagonal line brushes (again, should be included in CSP), i just make an eraser version of them so i can also use them on layer masks.

as for inking tips ... i don't have any hard and fast "always do x for y" advice but i rambled a little about how i approach it.

this first point is actually pretty straightforward, it's just to look at inking techniques by artists you like, think about what makes them work so well in their context, and try them out for yourself. this isn't about plagiarizing art styles but more about understanding how other artists choose to stylize certain things in their work, and seeing what works and what doesn't for you personally. sometimes it's through looking at other people's stylizations that you get a better understanding of how you want to approach translating this actual 3d object (people, clothes, background details, whatever) into your own art as well. as you try out various techniques, maybe you find that some of them work well with your own style, and some of them don't and you stop incorporating those. it's all a constant work in progress. over time you can adjust how you use them in a way that fits your own drawing methods and workflows and they just start to come more naturally to you. of course, they may and should change a lot along the way because now it's something that's part of your own style. in essense, work on developing a good eye for these things and be thoughtful about what you want to convey and how.

just as an example, daiya no ace by terajima yuji definitely has to be up there for me in terms of influences, the way he approached body lines and clothing folds as a way to convey movement and posing made a lightbulb turn on in my head back when i was still reading it.

not a comprehensive list, but other manga i just like looking at off the top of my head - rookies (morita masanori), anything by yamashita tomoko but i really recommend the night beyond the tricornered window for something that's easily accessible, anything by asada nemui (please check for content warnings for their works first though!), all-rounder meguru (endo hiroki), urasawa naoki's works, dungeon meshi (kui ryoko), witch hat atelier (shirahama kamome), yotsuba&! (azuma kiyohiko), a bride's story (mori kaoru), i recollect love (moegi yukue), the later works of tojitsuki hajime (unfortunately a lot of is now out of print and not accessible online but i managed to get all their books bc their commitment to crosshatching shaved heads each time impressed me so much LMAOSJDsd) etc, etc.

this second thing is much vaguer and harder to quantify but ... honestly just draw a lot and see what feels good to your hand. inking and art styles in general are fluid things. so much of what inking comes down to, to me, is just drawing the lines that in a way that feels good to me. that only really comes from doing it a lot (not saying i'm a hardcore artist or anything lol just that i've been drawing on and off for a while now) and, well, getting a sense of what you like doing. sometimes you might look at a detail you finished that looks really good but feels like a happy accident, and it kinda is, but it's also just as much of the things you've internalized over time. combining the first point (developing your eye and a sense of thoughtfulness about inking) and the second (getting experience through developing your muscle memory) is basically it.

idk if any of this made sense lol but hope some of it helps!!!!!

#asks #girl help! pondering the nature of what i enjoy about inking

[taeiris]

if I’ve already sent this ask before I’m so sorry, I’ve got adhd, but how did you find your art? (I’m in my questioning phase)

hihi!!! no problem! i think i have some kind of glitch with asks bc when i go look for them it says i have 3, but when i check it, there isn’t any so im sorry if any of u have ever sent asks and i havent answered them it’s probably bc of that😭

but anyways lets get on it!

finding you art style is not smth simple at ALL. ive been drawing my entire life!!! and ive had a bunch of different styles until now, they kinda used to change every few months or so, i was always happy with them but it never really lasted??? and i always had at least one part of the process of it to dread doing, for example, coloring.

it wasn’t until recently i FINALLLYYY found a style im 100% comfortable in.

it really takes experimenting and finding what elements of creating art you love and enjoy the most. for me, i used to mostly do traditional art, just pencil or ink sketching and i would OCCASIONALLY color them. so i really used to enjoy kinda the messiness of the pencil on trad mediums and stuff? and i never rlly found a way to translate that element to digital art which is the one i enjoy the most now.

brushes are very important! it depends on the look you like. since i like that pencil feel, i use a pencil looking brush! (softy from esbenlash’s procreate brush set) and i also got a paper feel screen protector for my ipad to enhance the experience🔥

i found i mostly enjoyed doing lineart and didnt rlly look forward to coloring, i didnt find my past styles enjoyable bc they kind of felt restricting in that area? since i didnt find a way to make it more abt the lineart and less abt coloring that i liked (ofc theres plenty! i just didnt find one for me)

so tbh i think what mostly influenced the style i enjoy the most now is film, and baroque art!

i had recently seen:

Crimson Peak (2015)

The Shape of Water (2017)

and ofc

Stranger Things DUHHHHH

and i fell in love with the way the lightning was, heavy dark shadows and moody lights, and tried to match my style to it and found that it highlighted all the things i enjoy doing the most while drawing! so thats where i am now

special mention to the one movie im obsessed with currently

The Crow (1994)

also has the similar style

all that + experimenting, studying other’s art i liked and finding elements to integrate to my art, ANDDD music also played a huge part in it. so as you can see for me its about kind of combining aspects of every single piece of media i like 😭

its not gonna be the same for everyone, but its always good to have a guide so i hope this was useful for you and anyone else! im always willing answer any art questions :)

don’t worry too much about speeding up finding your style, it’ll come to you eventually, so focus on enjoying the moment and learning, take mental notes of what you like and don’t like!

sorry this is kinda long as hell… but i like rambling

#perfect opportunity to show off these shots from my fav movies teehee #art truly is all one! #i love getting inspired from multiple medias and combining it into drawing #ari answers asks

[skillzissue]

Hey is it just me or do you also get caught off guard-

-Thinking about there’s so much beautiful art in world. Like I complain about having a inconsistent art style, but honestly I’ve been thinking -

I wish that my art style (if I even have one smh) never changes from its malleable nature.

Bc I look at different artists and see how unique their shape theory is, the way the characters seem so alive and vibrant and easy to look at- I love those kinds of art styles. I love drawing with wide, crazy exaggerated expressions and poses that grab people’s attention. I want to draw like that. And it’s beautiful.

And then I look at different artists and basically cry about how soft their rendering is, how their characters look like their melting in their sun burst environments, with so many minor details and just little things that add up. It’s so, so pretty and soft and makes you feel gooey inside and when I look at it all I can think about how amazingly gorgeous it is. I want to draw like that. And it’s beautiful.

But of course, it doesn’t end there. Bc then I look at artists that depict their world through understanding the beauty in the mundane, how they paint the sky, sub ways, bike rides and parks and stores and everything in between. Their lineless styles telling a story with vibrant colors, small touches and grand lighting, displaying the softness of life through people just. Experiencing it. I want to do that. And it’s beautiful.

And there’s more. There’s always more- I could literally go on about this for hours but I think you get the point. Everyone has this unique style that sticks out and really pronounces who they are as a person, and as much as I want to have such a special way of displaying how I see the world, something that you look at and just say “yeah, that’s Skillz,”

I just. I honestly wouldn’t know what to do you know? I want to do all of these things at once. I want to study these different artists and interpret them in my own ways, make those strong emotional expressions and those soft spoken moments and those wide open backgrounds.

But I can’t do it all. There’s a reason why each person has their own style. Can I do it all? Can I? Is there enough time in the world? I have so many thoughts and sometimes I need the right brush to speak them.

PLEASE I needed to have 15 fucking art styles yesterday ONG 😭😭🙏

…

Just me?

#guys I’m such a thinker today for some reason 💀💀 #if you managed to read it all I love you and I’m giving you forehead kisses #Also hi good morning august :) #skillzwontshutupmoment #txt post #art is beautiful #blah blah ramblings

Listen listen listen

Hear me out

Assassins Creed college l AU

-Connor lives off campus with his mother and “landlord” Achilles (when in actuality his mother hasn’t paid rent to Achilles in ten years and Connors yet to realize that)

-Alexios and Jacob are what they call “bang bros” (fuck buddies but more manly according to them) who switch majors every other week

-Haythem is a professor and is by far the most hated, he’s been the target of the most amount of pranks from the school since year one of his teaching. He’s also had the most complaints about him to HR about his shitty politics and playing favorites in his students (yes his favorites happen to Hickey and Lee when they have the worst grades in the whole class)

-Shao is a transfer student who crotchets and paints in her free time. She’s primarily known as the lady who out drank party animal Bayek

-Bayek has a baby mama and visits his kids on all weekends and holidays. He’s known as one of the best students on campus. Who turns into an absolute party animal when drunk/high but deletes all evidence of it afterwards

- Everyone knows Edward’s password to his phone, cause he spends so much of his time drunk he either straight up tells people the password. Or they need it in order to call his buddies to pick him up

!!! I do have a college au I have a list of info of with my friend but I love these ideas and some of what we have is kind of similar !! I hope you don’t mind if some of these aren’t canon

-I still love your ‘landlord’ idea don’t worry it lives in my head rent free and it’s sitting in my ask box for when I could make a drawing with it

-Jacob and Alexios share dorms with Arno and Henry (I think I gotta check again). I can absolutely see Jacob changing his major a lot!! This kinda ties in w how I feel like he’s very indecisive and he’s intelligent in a lot of fields but he feels it’s hard to find a learning style that actually suits him so academics sucks like that (plus he has a poor history of constantly being compared to evie in school and having a bad rep in class with the teachers growing up). But he gets to explore and figure out what works best for him because everyone learns differently.

-Haytham isn’t a prof and the rest of his entourage is middle aged like him, however, William Johnson is one of the professors and I had a couple old doodles of him being at the receiving end of some pranks pulled by Connor’s friends :)) Haytham got Connor into this current college but he’s trying to get him to transfer to a “better” one (more private, one of those super elitist types, somewhere Maria Thorpe transferred out of because it sucked so much for her mental and social health). Connor’s friends hate Haytham and he 100% doesn’t live with Ziio (the request I’ve done with ziio and Haytham sending Connor off is unfortunately not canon in the au :(()

-I LOVE SHAOJUN CROCHETING AND PAINTINH,,, she’s maybe very secretive about her stuff but she loves making quick doodles of people around her in a tiny sketch book and has some really nice brush pens. I don’t know much about Bayek but my interest is piqued. It’s fair to note Shaojun is one of Ezio’s students when he eventually becomes a prof in my au! Along with Yusuf.

-LMAOO FUN I really really don’t know anything about Bayek but that fun side i honestly don’t see much in fan art so I’m curious ?? I always imagined him being the main gang’s philosophy professor and they love him.

-POOR ED LMAOSBKEV I love that I love Ed. Its super fun to hear other takes on Ed in modern au especially in relation to the other kenways bc I always pictured him in the au as an actual grand dad— graying hair, sick Hawaiian shirts collection, probably stole a yacht, tries and fails to regain a connection with Haytham and absolutely loves Connor and sees him as 100% part of the family

Please don’t take any of this the wrong way I love your ideas !! I thought it’d be fun to share and compare and contrast what I have in my head vs your ideas bc modern aus can be taken in so many different directions even in a college setting <:))

Thank you again though I love your thoughts !!

Hey- first of all love your art thank you so much for doing what you do-

Secondly, I absolutely love that I can see how stamp making has influenced your art. Like- Your forms and lines are so clean and crisp it’s just amazing to look at.

Again, love love love your work!! Thank you for existing

From @dirkydirkyheart

Thank you so much for sending this ;;-;; I’m glad you enjoy my work!! And I’m always so happy to hear comments like this. I love carving/printmaking/stamp making so much it’s inane I’m so glad it shows in my digital work as well

Funny anecdote: I actually got back into carving in 2021 because of my digital art style!

Ive never been a big fan of pen brushes, but I wanted more line weight in my work, so I started to carve my digital lines more, which gives my more polished work a unique look imo, And then I developed a particular layer management system because I do not like digitally painting + I needed to combat RAM/storage issues

So one day while drawing I was thinking about how much I missed carving and print making and have wanted to get back into it for the past 5 years or so and was like?? Wait Hold on, that’s just what I do now, but digitally… if I miss it so much why don’t I just take the plunge and get back I to print making again? that was two years ago LMAO and here I am!

So now I try my best to make a print once a month (I’m like two prints behind rn but I’m working on it!) And I think doing so has let me become looser in my digital art, bc the need to carve is fulfilled by, well, actually physically carving… which is nice! Bc it means I can actually finish digital sketches much faster and not feel like I HAVE to spend 30+ hours on pieces… it’s a nice change of pace imo

#PRINT MAKING MY BELOVED!!!!!!! LINO CUTS MY LOVE #if you are reading this and want to get into carving no joke HMU I have recommendations and resorces and advice out the wazoo #it’s my love and my passion and I’d be happy to share what I know with people ;;-;; #asks #not my art #THANKS AGAIN I LOVE CARVING!!!!

My art year in review!

I learned so much this year and made a ton of cool stuff! These are my favorites from each month, but it was so hard to choose. A lot of stuff didn't even get posted--I'll be sure to at least post the ones that made it to this list!

It's amazing to see how much I've changed and learned over this year, and to see the things that are emerging as part of "my style."

Here's to another year of delight, creation, connection and fun!

Some monthly reflections beneath the cut, but here's the highlights:

I participated in 3 art challenges, Artfight, OC-tober and Huevember.

I made fanart for the first time!

I created a piece I conceived of before I started drawing

Made some big breakthroughs in techniques and skills in April, July and November

January: My first branch into full character design, Rodd is the culmination of training on Hero Forge renders to make dnd portraits! I was doing this cool thing with neon rim lighting, I should bring that back!

February: I saw a piece on here with this amazing glowing effect, so I color picked it and experimented to figure out what relationship between the colors was making it do that! The answer was saturation. This rose is meant to be glowing from within, and I think I did a good job for my knowledge level at the time! As Chuck Tingle would tell us, it's beautiful because only I could have made it in that moment on the timeline.

March: I spent a million years on every detail of this one, it has at least 5 clipping overlay/saturation layers for lighting, multiple line work groups and I want to rework that background but! I never felt more accomplished than I did when I finished this one. I learned a lot, especially about things I could skip or simplify. And the symbolism really pops off ngl

April: I read Gideon the Ninth for the first time this month and I immediately needed to draw Jeannemary Chatur, Cavalier of the Fourth House, the worst teen to do it. She's the first fanart I ever made and posted! I also discovered a new pen tool with this one, which CHANGED THE GAME.

May: This one is an idea I had written down before I ever picked up the tablet and stylus. I thought I might commission someone to make it, the image of it came to me so clearly during our VTM session I just had to make it real somehow. Well I did it! This is one I will come back to redraw in like 5 years bc I love the concept so much. Also rife with symbolism and inside nods to the Low Kings.

June: I made a bunch of ref sheets in the run-up to Artfight in July. Caleb hadn't even been in my plans to upload, but I had time and inspiration! I will be uploading this and a few more of him <3

July: This is one of my faves from Artfight! This character is Blueberry, by way of OrchidEatsBread on artfight. I have still never played... rainworld? But I love me a slug cat. In July I drew a TON of people, it really drilled anatomy basics into me and how to get clothes looking like actual clothes a bit more. Also solidified some things I would consider "my style" at the moment, like no irises, and my approach to noses and mouths and fingers!

August: Another fanart for the Locked Tomb series, I never posted this!!! Will be rectifying that soon.

September: I got really into javascript and css this month, and I made this to be a landing page image on my neocities website XD I'll get back around to that eventually...

October: At the last minute, I discovered OC-tober and the prompts from @/bweirdart, a worthy follow up to the rush of Artfight two months previous. I developed so much stuff for the Low Kings, including this drawing/character, Amayah/Girl-Z, who has been a figment of my pintrest board for 2+ years.

Huevember: Chasing that OC-tober high, I found Huevember! I did not expect to actually do every day, but it proved to be an amazing exercise! I learned so, so much about color, discovered amazing new brushes and techniques and found I really enjoy working in those one day capsules! I loved a lot of the stuff that came out of this month, including my highest note post ever!!!, but this one is still my phone background and I'm maybe developing an OC world around it. We'll see what happens in 2024.

December: I got hit HARD with the writing bug this month, so this was my only choice for this month but I WOULDA CHOSEN IT ANYWAY. I unlocked something here that I'm really excited to visit again, in fact I'm working on a companion piece rn! This is also fanart btw, prepare for me to get even weirder about this guy in the coming months.

If you've read this far, thank you so much! I have so much fun writing these little reflections and making my posts on here.

xoxo, wren

two things. one, your art is absolutely wonderful. i love the warm tones and style. two. got any like. weird art tips. like just weird things you do that work really well. or just art tips in general lol. there's something bout your style that makes me go ':D' lmao

aaaaaa tysm !!!! very glad u like my style <33 means a lot

and yeah id say i have quite a few with the way im very experimental n passionate abt art !

>> i think my weirdest one is rly just the main way i render tbh ? like, as u can pretty easily see with my main art style is that its all very crunchy n pixelated, n thats all cause i have anti-aliasing off for my brush . i render in a pretty unorthodox way but it makes things so so so much easier and more fun for me, even if its more time consuming for several reasons

heres a little bit of an infographic ive whipped up that hopefully u can get smth out of lmao . its 6am ive been up all night drawing as usual so im having a lot of trouble doing things properly sorry sorry

and the funny thing is this is aaaaaaaaall just cause i hate blending and am scared of committing to things (esp colors) so i just decided "okay whatever im gonna be goofy and just make it all pixelated idc anymore" and it worked !! (thanks homestuck) art is sm more enjoyable since i started doing this as it fits perfectly with the way my brain works and its helped me sm with getting better at colors bc of the way i have to do every single color manually (for several reasons like how i have to keep track of every color ((which makes me recycle them a lot more making things look more united)), gradients r the most fun to do but i have to make sure all the colors "blend" together nicely, i get to change them super easily, etc etc)

however these days i HAVE been trying to get back into working with anti-aliased brushes just to get out of my comfort zone n such, but tbh the only thing its helped me with is remind me how much more fun drawing aliased is and how absolutely dogshit i am at blending FDJHJKDF

also it makes me better at minecraft skins since im so used to working with pixels !

>> another little weird thing i have that honestly just goes against basic art rules is experiment by having ur values be as close together as possible without losing contrast . this is horrible as a tip, but fun as an experiment, and for me its just fun since i already know pretty well how values work and have enough experience to break the "rules" - because lot of times good shading colors r actually lighter than the original when put under b&w

so if ur like me i would recommend trying it out ! if u dont even know what values are then this ISNT good for u, do values properly as they really help

>> if u struggle a lot with side profiles, just learn from the gorillaz demon days album art . like literally im not joking that is THE thing that made me learn to draw side profiles and id say im pretty good at them now (however the effectiveness of this probably depends on the style)

and by learn from it i mean u can just trace it with any other characters, or study it, or reference it, yadaydayada . just do wahtever with it, damon albarn dgaf

obviously this isnt gonna magically make u great at side profiles but if u want a fun art challenge or ur a big gorillaz fan like me, it could get u kickstarted !!!! especially if ur doing it with ocs or characters u like that are in a band or something

ok thats all the tips ill be giving out tonight im a little sickly victorian child rn

hope it helped . uhm . bye

#anon #luckys art info #mailbox #quinnotalk #tumblrimp

[meruz]

ive been neglecting my inbox so im answering all the asks rn. sorry...if you’ve been waiting for a response.

yes go ahead!! Also ik it is hard to access my FAQ from the app but btw this is in my FAQ its very comprehensive because I get this type of ask a lot LOL. dw it’s not annoying though its easy to answer and I’m glad ppl like my art enough to use it and also care abt crediting!! its in my faq not because i dont like to answer but more so u guys dont need to ask LOL

thank you!! I dont see much infinity train content ever either. when i was making infinity train fanart everyday i felt like i was on an island LOL...

honestly I feel like cahiers are decent with posca because theyre not really absorbent and posca marks tend to sit on the page as opposed to soaking through anyways. umm i wouldnt like... use it to do a whole posca piece or anything but i use poscas just for pops of color in my sketchbook pretty often and it holds up ok. sometimes u can see the shadow of the color through the paper bc its thin but thats mostly it. i took pics of some sketchbook pgs and how the back of the page looks so you can see for yourself ( cw for bakudeku LOL ) ...theres a lot of like.. normal brush pen ink and india ink that penetrates the paper more like even compared to the black posca

thank you!!!! I love drawing assorted cephalopods... their proportions remind me of drawing digimon characters LOL.

not right now u_u I’m busy.... but you can always email me at [email protected] to check abt it! sometimes i will do commissions even if im busy because it sounds cool LOL...

lol thank you!! idk if i ship(?) them either but its interesting to think about!!! theyre funny characters to bonk together and i feel like most fanart ive seen doesnt address how funny their relationship could be if it were more exploratory i guess

yk that scene is kind of a meme now but it like genuinely still makes me emotional. when colette makes lloyd promise not to tell the others at the end it breaks my heart

yeah here you go

I feel like I’ve probably talked about this before in another ask post but i dont really think about style because its one of those things that artists should try to change depending upon intention, what you’re drawing and what you want to communicate etc. what people often recognize as style are quirks that an artist maintains throughout changing their subject and approach.....ANYWAYS. thats all to say my style probably just comes out of normal stuff like looking at other art and thinking “I want to do that” or trying out different mediums and methods and settling with whatever feels the best LOL. It’s always changing & growing! Because I’m always learning new stuff!

Theres a lot! I really like the scene when daisukes lying awake in bed thinking abt how ken’s heartbeat felt. And the scene when they have a sleepover and ken wakes up first and looks over to daisuke sleeping LOL idk subtle stuff you can read very clearly as like burgeoning queer moments.. theyre recognizable from my own queer childhood and i love that in a kids anime. also at the end of the series when theyre fighting the final boss dude and ken grabs daisukes arm to ask him to jogress but hes shivering and daisuke just turns to say “youre shaking....” and in revenge of diaboromon when ken goads daisuke into endurance running by taunting him about soccer LOL (jock romance). but one i rly want to mention is theres this youtube video about how ken and daisuke’s honorifics change over the course of the series and how significant it is when they switch over to first name basis and honestly i think about it a lot THEY HAVE GREAT SCENES!! I love ken and daisuke

wow!! thats rad... the sad truth is its just my name with like a shitton of letters taken out. sometimes i abbreviate it even further as mrz and i think to myself haha ... mister z.

How did you find your style?

hmmm, kind of interesting you ask that bc i'm not sure i've even fully found it yet (or ever will /positive) since my brain loves to force me to constantly experiment with art 👉👈

sorry if i sound super cliche but like literally i . practice with what i wanna keep (eg. hair) and change what i hate in my style (eg. noses)

ig one thing that helps is to find the brush/textures youre comfortable w the most!! and also find inspirations in art media and in ur friends! AND REFS AND ANATOMY REALLY HELP esp in the beginning of trying to adapt it further to what ur comfy with!!

more in particular to me and my experience so far:

• i use a textured brush thats like a pencil but like . 100% opacity cos i don’t like it when my strokes overlap <- is dumb

• @bad12amcomic helps me out a lot with anatomy as well as some other friends and the gee ef that hype me up / help out in vc (ty brainrot hours!!)

• my friend val (not tagged bc they’re not involved in mcyt fandom) is also a BIG inspiration to me for art in general bc they have such a gorgeous art style that i wish they shared more and i love to yoink their brushes and WISHED i could render fabric like them . and they do it in two layers . what da hell

here’s a desert duo i held them at gunpoint to draw for me <3 everyone clap for my wonderful jester

AND OF COURSE !!! some notable examples of choco and val in particular doing me a solid LMAO

• i reference the painting styles/traits of rendered pieces in witch hat atelier, toilet bound hanako kun, and dungeon meshi! one that i’ve taken a liking to in particular is how they do eyes in tbhk, in my pearl art i try to emulate the vibe and fail horrendously but it came out pretty nice (I DONT EVEN KNOW WHICH CHARACTER I REFERENCED THE MOST DURING THIS…BRO 😭😭)

(stares at you with my wet cat eyes)

anyways thank u for the lovely ask! i am awfully sorry if it’s not the answer you were hoping for or wanted, but i hope it helped somebody.

…..this was also a big excuse to ramble about my lovely friends

here's an eefo if you read the whole thing :]

SIM TAG!

I was tagged by the lovely @natolesims, thanks!🦋✨

Under a read more cause this is a Long Boy™

What’s your favourite sims death? 

Death by chicken. Those are some angry fuckers.

Alpha CC or Maxis Match?

Maxis ehehe. I used to be an alpha girly but the jarring difference between my sims and their surroundings while in regular game mode made me switch (that and also poly count).

Do you cheat when your sims gain weight? 

Sometimes, depending on the sim and what's going on in their lives. For Safya I do because in my mind she regularly runs (even when I don't have the time to actually do it in game) and for Alfonso because sometimes he gets too muscly, otherwise not really.

Do you use move objects? 

Yeah yeah.

Favorite mod?

Wonderful Whims!

First expansion/game/stuff pack you got? 

Got them all at the same time bc 🏴‍☠️

Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing? 

Like the first one woooo.

Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made? 

My dear darling honey Lorenzo boy. Rip king, you would've loved Safya.

Have you made a simself? 

Yes but I don't really play with her, she's like a dress up doll. I did however give her a pretty girlfriend hehehehe.

What sim traits do you give yourself? 

Paranoid (bc same), socially awkward, art lover, perfectionist (and low key high maintenance 💀)

Which is your favorite EA hair color? Brown.

Favorite EA hair? 

I'm a big fan of the long straight tucked hairstyle from get together as well as the basegame curly half down hair from a recent ish delivery express.

Favorite life stage? 

Toddlers! They are very cute and after they learn how to potty, easy to manage PLUS the cuddling and playing animations are seriously adorable!!

Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay? 

Gameplay, by far. Sincerely wish I was a builder but boy oh boy, I'm not good at it.

Are you a CC creator?

Nooo

Do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad? 

I've got some lovely moots on here <3

What’s your favorite game? 

TS4. Haven't played any of the other installments (I'm dying to play ts3 but I know my laptop wouldn't be able to handle it 😔)

Do you have any sims merch?

No no nouu.

Do you have a YouTube for sims?

Nop. Tbh I've thought about sims and commentary but uhm my English is not *that* good and I wouldn't really know what to say that hasn't been said before.

How has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing?

Hmm I used to be into the tiny nose, chiselled jaw, stereotypical sims look but nowadays I tend to gravitate towards smaller eyes, bigger noses and square ish jaws.

What’s your Origin ID?

Falsetochild

Who’s your favorite CC creator? 

Ohhh recently I've been absolutely loving Sforzcc, Sashima, Simstrouble (as well as many other creators!!) And have forever been a big Sentate and Greenllamas girlie 🤍

How long have you had a simblr? 

Since mid 2020 

How do you edit your pictures? 

I low key don't, Gshade does most of the work. I religiously use Gunthermunch's lithium for CAS pics (also use it for gameplay pics tho I've been getting into Waves shader cause is very bright and colorful!) When I'm feeling inspired I like to bring in the background color with a soft edge brush and maybe throw in some sparkles in PS.

What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next? 

I've heard absolute wonders about TS3's late night and showtime so a mix between those two should be very fun! Plus it would enhance the city lifestyle gameplay imo.

What expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far? 

Ok so expansion: city living. Game: Jungle Adventures. Stuff: Tiny Living. Kit: Incheon Arrivals.

I'll tag @minamill @softle0 @ezra-trait @novac2281 and @titosims (ofc feel free to skip if you feel like it 🌸)

#thanks for the tag!!! #sorry it took me a gazillion years omg #tag

1, 7, 21

(1) how would you describe your style

i'd describe it as uh... pretty stiff and generic? also flat bc i can't be arsed to do shading most of the time

(7) show us a WIP

here's a Garak chibi i someday will have to finish:

(21) something you would like to improve on

that list is so long ;; i want work on the already mentioned stiffness. also finding a unique style with lots of fun colors would be super cool. i'd love it if one day my mutuals would see my art and go "ah yes, Stuka™ drew that"

other stuff I have on my list:

hands (breh) and anatomy in general

composition for proper illustrations

using different brushes

using filters (completely new stuff for me)

proper shading

MALE BODIES I CANNOT DRAW THEM IT'S ALWAYS EITHER WOMEN OR TWINKS AND I HAVE TO CHANGE THAT

#ask #stukatalks #stukadraws

[science-lings]

Art trademark imo:

The lineart and colour choices. Your lineart always stands out a little bit (in a good way!) and truly defines the drawing at every point. And it's usually coloured, which I love! And then also the colours you use are always like,,, *soft*, like they all are a tone or shade that is easy to look at and seems to work well with every other colour you use because they share that trait. I can usually spot what art is yours if it pops up on my dash because looking at it is physically comfortable and somehow somber without being sad, ya know? It's just so good. It feels like peeking into another, distinct, world for a minute.

It's funny because I only very recently changed how I did lineart, I used to use a completely different brush and it would always be black and I definitely like the new style too lol. I'm glad that you like my use of colors bc i really struggle with how they translate from my laptop on my drawing app to mobile where it's always just suddenly more saturated and I really try not to hurt people's eyes lmao.

wow this was really nice thank you!

#i like colors a lot but that doesnt mean i know how to use them lol #art trademark ask game #ask game #art ask game #ask andromeda

2, 4, 8, 10, 14, 23? feel free to answer as many/as little of these as u like !

2- what art-related sites have you ever signed up for?

Tumblr ofc, YouTube, I’ve technically made two art instagram accounts but one of them’s long abandoned & just kept as my personal now, and I also have a sporadically used & unused toyhou.se so four ish (same username everywhere)

4- what defines your artistic style?

probably little dot eyes, floaty eyebrows, the ol Crunchy Brushes, maybe simplicity/cartoonish look ? also Rounmd (& full disclosure I’m mostly just going off what I remember other peeps have said when I’ve done this as an ask game, I’m very bad at answering it myself)

8- what is your favorite piece that you have done?

I genuinely have. No Idea? but some favs off the top of my head: Cassiopeia dragon, snake bites Crowley, cosmic horror duck, trans paint splatter dragon, tabloid Darkstalker, and maybe skirt Remus,, all strong contenders, I also just rly love my lil clay guys because they Exist and that’s wild

10- what do you like most about your art?

forcing myself to be Positive by answering this one,, I do like that I would like to give head pats to like 90% of the critters I draw- beings that are just Friend Shaped has always been a vague goal and I think I’m getting there

14- what do you like drawing the most?

shockingly, dragons/creechures :3 i simply enjoy making Littol Guys

23- what do you think you could stand to improve on?

backgrounds, poses, human expressions, hands, humans that aren’t headshots, variety of features in dragon designs,, idk, everything? anddd rambling explanation time (very sorry): I’m not Unhappy with where I’m at rn but that’s just how art goes? my art and skills n such are kinda just always evolving at different rates so I just gotta be. cool with that and go with it- six months ago doing any original dragon design was a huge stretch for me and now it’s basically all I do so it’s fair to assume even more will change in the Next six months or year bc it always does! & that’s fine

#snek asks #to-junipterandmars #thank for ask! #have Many Words #jebus lots and lots of words #lots of floundering go me #very sorry about the last answer the tone/vibe is buggging me any pretentiousness is unintentional im just bad at words #short answer is Everything but I got carried away trying to clarify it’s not meant in a self dep way #just a Thats How It Goes way #also the first insta was used for a Month in 2019. and never again #i just didn’t bother deleting it #im gonna stop talking now I’m realizing I haven’t like. had breakfast or anything so. maybe less internet posting for me rn

[bookiedoodles]

I keep feeling like my art just keeps getting worse and idk how to fix that

#tbd #it’s 7 am post sad thoughts #okay but like for real pretty sure my art is getting worse instead of better #COULD totally be just me being hard on myself #but even like. the number of notes on my art is getting worse #not that I’m like??? begging for attention and notes I really draw things for myself #and the people who actively appreciate my art bc it makes me excited to see them excited #but idk it still like. sucks to think about #idk maybe I’m thinking too hard #also I wanna change my style but also I. Don’t at all want to #like I’ve gotten comments about how my art style is ‘soft’ a couple times #which is!!!! SOO SWEET and I love getting that comment SOOO much #but now I’m worried that if I change my style or the brushes I use that I’m like #messing things up??? #literally wtf am I talking about KDBDODHDOSJE I’m sorry #it’s 7 am and my brain is just Weird at this time #I’ll probably delete this later
