I am so happy and relieved to see you on my dash! I stumbled on art I had reblogged from you something like 6 years ago and when I saw your blog was deactivated, I was insanely sad. What happened to it?
If you ever deactivate fully, I want you to know Tege and Sanjit have remained in my head for these 6 years. Your drawings taught me how to properly let orc teeth elevate the skin and the potential of double trapezius in four-armed backs and... Yeah. I just want you to know you inspired me a lot. I am glad to see you again.
Oh, hello. Hi. Well, haha… my old blog was deleted back in the nipple purge in… December 2018? December 3rd, if I recall correctly. When I got rid of my nsfw sideblog, the main account decided to go with it for some unknown reason. I really didn’t mean to get rid of it and I don’t think I’ll delete this one either (at least not on purpose). My art is already in the AI shredder, so it’s too late to save it from soulless regurgitation, but hopefully it can make people happy still.
And thank you! I think odd anatomy is always a fun challenge to make believable, though I guess I haven’t really explored it to any extremes. But I do remember sticking my fingers into my mouth and staring at my lips to commit to memory what they looked like when pushed up. I’m glad you feel you could learn from what I’ve done. <3

I've been following you for a long time now, I made a promise I would get good at people like you, it's been... honestly maybe 8 years and I'm proud if my progress, I have abit of a learning disability so I'm alot slower then most, but you've always been a source of inspiration uwu and given me a good amount of courage to draw black characters who resemble me.
That makes me really happy to hear. I’ve said before, but the possibility I might inspire people is one of the reasons why I post my art at all (and why I’ve let my now 20 year old stuff stay uploaded on Deviantart, even if I don’t go there anymore). Drawing is hard but rewarding, and I’m glad you’ve stuck to it all those years. That’s so nice, and I hope you I can continue to inspire you in the future.
Thank you and good luck. <3

Every characters of yours feels so believable and real in the way the look
How do you go about creating them do you collect references first or do it entirely from imagination?
First off: Thank you!
I have far too much to say about character design, but I’ll try to keep it brief-ish and not answer ten other things in addition to your question.
It’s nearly always from imagination these days. Sometimes I look for photos if I’ve decided to draw a type of person I’m unfamiliar with and feel specifics are important, but I constantly try to expand my mental library so that I won’t have to find references. I pretty much live for character design and I have spent the last twenty-five years or so developing the skills I find useful for it. Perhaps my efforts weren’t very focused when I was nine, but the ambition to “make a better heroine” was there. So, I’ve read a large number of anatomy books and keep on reading new ones, I do studies, and I continuously question my tastes, experiences and go-tos to be able to grow past them – little by little. Still, I absolutely use references sometimes, just generally not for design purposes or to a particularly large extent when I work on illustrations. I mainly use them when I struggle with an angle (in which case I usually find a mirror or take a photo of myself) or when studying. I often consult my anatomy books, however, and the two anatomical models on my desk, Mr. Skeleton and Mr. Half skin-half exposed superficial muscles. (I won't show a picture, since I know many people find them nasty and I don't want to tag this post as nasty. But they're beautiful friends.)
Anyway. How do I actually go about it… When drawing? Well, I usually have a pretty good idea of a character’s personality before I pick up a pen. That’s important to me. If I don't have one already, I mostly start with a written description rather than anything visual. Just a few words, to get an idea. Those texts aren’t based on anything and usually not very detailed, but they have the essentials. Being able to describe someone for myself and work from there, instead of from a vague thought, helps me to start. After I have a clear picture in my head, I usually make either a painterly portrait or a number of small head sketches.
For example, this is my first picture of Tege:

And these are my first pictures of Liam:

...When that’s done and I’m happy with the restult, I’ll have a perfect reference for later pictures. Eventually I’ll have a bunch of pictures of a character that I can start second-guessing and slowly change to perfection. Maybe I’ll get there one day.

I felt it was time to re-upload some old art of partially pixelated elves so they're on my blog, because I like them. Asegedeche, Nénuro, Aqila and Iodas – Saffran's parents, her second mum, and her history teacher.

Local six-year-old Rory knows more about the larval stage of butterflies than her new favourite adult Aaron.
Aaron is Sevan's younger brother.

Jonathan, one of my first Ventrue characters. I later redesigned him as... more or less a shadow elemental thing because he learned obtenebration in his original setting and it felt so fitting.
Some characters stick around for longer than others and that's okay.

I recieved a copy of the new Werewolf: the Apocalypse corebook in the mail the other day, which is a bit exciting. Sadly, I couldn't do as many pictures for W:tA as I did for Hunter: the Reckoning because my wrists are messed up. But I got to do some, and I think this one is my favourite.
All my W:tA illustrations belong to Paradox Interactive.

I get Jasper cravings sometimes and then I draw him being dramatic (like I draw a lot, if not most, of my men, to be fair). And, since it's been a while since I wrote it here: Jasper is a lupus Glass Walker Ahroun, which is fancy speak for he's a WoD/WtA werewolf that I roleplayed often some years ago.
