Hi!! I'm a big fan of your work and I was just wondering how you plan out compositions?
for me, the story/concept/feeling u wanna convey is the basis for all composition! technical components like line weight, posing, coloring, etc. are all in service to "what is the image supposed to say?"
example: wanted to draw valentines-themed saiou, so i drew them in a chocolate box! ...but it was kind of unsatisfying, so i re-drew ouma and moved some bg elements to try to make a more balanced and interesting composition.
posing reflects a lot of a personality, so "how does the pose express the character's own personality/feelings towards the other?" prompts ideas for how to arrange the composition. like in this case... western valentine's theme -> if ouma had cupid''s arrow? -> needs more distance to nock and draw -> ouma perching on/pinning saihara down. that's the flavor -> then, rearrange the ribbons and treats to follow the flow...
i'll also check layout and values throughout: for example, after finishing fontaine's aq, i wanted to draw smth about furina & focalor's partnership, and focalor controlling her from the shadows... so the concept was "a dance where you can't relax from your partner's lead."
the lineart's a hot mess, but the spotlight helps divide the image, direct the focal point and ties into the aq story.
tl;dr: pose, sightline and visibility are the key traits i focus on in a draw, but the bottom line is always "story" first. hope this helps... even a little bit (':

Hello ! Idk u obviously but I found ur blog after finding out about the current nrb Problems, and I saw u posted a while ago about how you’re being a bit “overly parasocial” in how upset u are re: the news. I felt the need to say that actually to me, it seems that ur not desensitised to hearing about these allegations, which is a good thing ! It shows u care ! Thanks for talking abt it openly on ur blog, I’m not in any nrb fan spaces bc I only discovered them a few months ago and I don’t really care for fandoms, but when I found out the news I came looking for other people who also felt weird about it bc solidarity, babeyyyy. So yes. I’m sorry that it’s getting to u, u seem like a very lovely person and I hope u have some other distractions to hand to get u thru !! What other interests have u gotten into recently ??

I cant watch stuff that has Geneva in. People think the collider in CERN is this big weird glowing science thing and I just die!!! Why are they going in the big wooden ball thing!! Thats not where the collider is! Thats just an empty structure that they made into a lil museum!! Why is it lost in the middle of nowhere as well? Theres a whole tramway line right in front of it and a bunch of buildings that are ACTUALLY CERN! Yknow, where the collider is? There are no funky glowy control panels inside the wooden ball!! And if the thing theyre trying to show is Atlas boy oh boy it would not fit into the wooden ball... Atlas is in a weird warehouse full of electrical stuff and the actual particle experiment happens UNDERGROUND and its really just a big tube, and I cannot stress enough how theres No Control Panels, ESPECIALLY in front of Atlas!!! You dont even stand in the same room as Atlas to activate it! AND IT DOESNT GLOW!!

kook!sweetheart reader that gets rafe to teach her how to drive because her rich parents shelter her and don’t want her exposed to the dangers that comes with driving 😓
warnings: bsf!rafe, rafe calls reader ‘babe’, terrible driving (she’s me i’m afraid), rafe has a lot of patience in this one
a/n: i screamed when i saw this!! thank you for the req, mwah <3
“wait, i’m scared!” you took your hands off the steering wheel, your heart beating in your ears as the engine of rafe’s truck roared to life. “look around us, it’s nothing but empty space, it’s impossible to mess up, ‘promise.” he reassured you, taking your hand and putting it on the shift gear. “is your foot on the brake?” you hummed, glancing at him before you put the truck in drive.
“alright, now just ease off of it slowly, it’s gonna go by itself.” once the vehicle started moving and you looked a bit more comfortable, rafe let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. “atta, girl..” you ignored the butterflies in your tummy, keeping all of your attention on the parking lot in front of you. “okay, you could give it a little gas now- hey!” rafe shouted, making you jump and slam on the brakes.
“see! i can’t do this!” you cried, rubbing your palms on the denim of your jeans. “yes, you can babe, it’s just- i said a little bit of gas, and we nearly flew across the island.” rafe sighed, closing his eyes momentarily. you stayed silent, already regretting asking rafe to take you out today. “hey, it’s alright, okay? m’sorry for yelling.” you swallowed thickly, slowly stepping off of the brake.
“this is good,” rafe sat up in his seat, “take a turn up here after the white line.” you did as he said, both of you cheering when you turned smoothly into the next parking aisle. “i did it!” you clapped your hands, quickly recovering when rafe grabbed ahold of the wheel. “let’s keep our hands on here, alright?” he laughed nervously. “s-sorry, that was stupid.” you huffed, cursing yourself in your head.
“no, you got it. let’s try parking, yeah?” you didn’t even want to imagine how terrible your parking was about to be. sure enough, you and rafe found yourselves standing in front of his truck, examining the position. “well.. you definitely parked.” he rested his hands on his hips, the sun beating down on both of you.
two parking spots. you took up two parking spots. “you know what, i’m just gonna have you drive me around everywhere, sound good?” rafe agreed without hesitation. “let me take a picture before we leave.” later on that day once rafe was in the comfort of his own bed, he did what he did every night and looked at your socials.
you had two new stories on your instagram, the first one being the photo of his truck from earlier with the text ‘i’m just a girl </3’, and the second being an off guard of rafe with one hand on the steering wheel, the words ‘my chauffeur is hot, yours is not!’ making a smile form on his lips.
