#Or else I would have continued drawing my webcomic Habibi's Antics

I really love how you infuse folk songs into your art! It’s always cool to learn things about different cultures and if we get to see some gay squids then that’s a perfect bonus <3

Thank you! But I haven't drawn an art with desi folk songs yet. I'm working on it, tho, with the blue and yellow sapphalopods.

Drawing fanarts of these particular sapphalopods is the most fun I had in the past fifteen years because I can share some of my cultures. I wanted to express them SO badly, but I hadn't found the right encouragement until Frye came along.

If Frye weren't a sea creature of color and or desi-inspired, I wouldn't be drawing splatoon fanart this often. Once in a while, pearlina fanart, maybe occasionally the cousins (NO INCEST), despite my love of this Nintendo IP from day one.

Ngl, deep cut is also a blessing in disguise to someone who enjoys folk music a whole lot. That is the reason why I love listening to Bottom Feeders the most. Folk metal when??? Gimme gimme. Metal when??? Gimme Diss-Pair gimme.

Anyway, Frye is the complete package of what I yearn for in the media I consume as a queer/gay desi who loves this IP—a representation.
