I think your lunter art is very neat. Do you think you could share your art process sometime?

awww thank you kind (maybe) stranger!

about the question tho… i'm an impostor and i don't know wtf i'm doing actually, and i'm not sure what exactly you're expecting, so combine it all and you'll get: i'll answear as i understood the task and you just send another ask if it's not what you meant

so here we go. art process:

1 turn pc on and open sai

2 stare at the white sheet for half an our

3 play genshin impact for six hours

4 turn pc off

5 turn it on the next day

6 (optional) get inspired by lil' kids / braindead antis / just your regular hatefull dumbdumbs' comments under your previously posted art (for OMG ships)

7 scroll through pinterest to find a pose that doesn't look too boring for you to try to draw

good thing you're smart enough to save them for the future just to nevere actually ever draw any of them

8 toss the picked pose into your beloved white sheet and idk maybe trace it? just to understand wtf is going on and how to mimic it

9 move your trac… kheM KHEM construction tip to the side and while looking at it and at the ref try your best to copy the pose as believable as you can

(make sure to do it on millioms or at least couple of layers just cause you're insecure indecisive baby who has no idea wtf he's doing and wants an option to make some changes without completely fucking up everything more than he already did by opening sai in the first place)

10 clean the lines the best you can

(bonus task - do it on duplicated layers of your sketch, cause, remember, you're scared baby)

11 color it as lazy as you can, just so you can always excuse your not knowing wft you're doing by "oh yeah it was just a low effort confident fast shit and not me being as unskilled as it possible for human being haha"

12 oh shit you almost forgot to draken your so called lineartm didn't you?? well at least you didn't forget to color luz's arm or hunter face this time. i call it a win! (also you didn't forget to color on at least 3 separate layer too just for safty, did you?)

13 nice job! go post it before 2 minutes past you hate the shit out of your newborn masterpie… oh well, it's been 3 minutes already. go post this ugly shit anyway. at least you won't be the only one cursed to see it

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK BTW that was fun

I've been on a Digimon kick lately, can't you tell? Cyber Sleuth broke me, lmao. Haven't played a good ol fashioned rpg in a long time. Not since Temtem. Which, is still my preferred battle monster game, but damn did Cyber Sleuth blow me away. Wasn't wild about some of the fetch quests, but hey, what rpg isn't complete without them?

So anyway, I'm going through the anime now.

I'm going through a rough time in my life and this is majorly distracting. But once Hacker's Memory is complete, I have to hope the PS4 version of World can hold my attention. Flickie made it look fun but then he got frustrated with it. Idk if he couldn't figure out how to raise his champions or if it's just balls hard to do but it was a bit off-putting. He said it was a lot like World 1.

So anyway, that's what's up with the influx of Digimon posts from yours truly. Just lil ol me trying to escape some God ol fashioned depression and anxiety. It's kinda working...

I just wish I could draw again. I have a gift art in the works for Flickie's birthday that could have totally been finished by now but I just didn't have the energy to finish it. I'll do it, hopefully in time, but who knows. Probably not. It looks like it could be a day or 2 late. Which isn't as bad as I've been some years... And it isn't even that stellar. I wanted to make something bigger, but I've just been in an artistic slump. I wanted to draw another piece of Maynard, I wanted to work on my graphic novel, I wanted to iron out some of my lesser OCs, make some ref sheets... And I'm just... Ugh. I even have my alt universe Catt who's a tentacle monster to play with. So idk what's wrong with me. I'm not bored with my content, I know that. And I know I don't need something new. In fact, I fear that would be a bad thing at present. Idk, maybe I'll just draw dorumon, lol. He's my favorite rookie I think. I mean, I ID with gatomon or black gatomon (thinking more black cuz long winded reasons), but if I were a Tamer and limited to 1, it'd be Dorumon. Plus he looks easy enough to draw. Something to get the ol motor running, I suppose.

Anyway, sorry for all the spamming, I'm high on caffeine and when I am I type. I have a lot of issues to work out and I just don't know how to deal with them.

When I'm home I'm depressed and when I'm at work I'm depressed and anxious. I can't win. And I got denied ssi again. So I started the process over. This time I have a lawyer. I need to call him though to make sure they got everything... I forgot to do that.

I feel like I'm drowning. And if I could kms, I probably would. But I'm scared. So I'm hanging onto life out of fear. My love for everyone and their love for me just doesn't feel like enough sometimes... I tried hospitalization, and it's not quite what I need. Plus, we can't afford for me to take the time off of work. All I can do is daydream about not being a pussy about suicide.

If you read all that, thanks. If you don't know how to respond, that's ok. It's a lot and it's a very big thing to take in. I know it's uncomfortable to hear about someone's personal life when it's this dark and intimate. I still appreciate the concern.

Can you tell us more about your fursona?

im gonna assume you mean Blank, my albino white shepherd!

Blank’s original name was Raven. i wanted a “dark” name to contrast her light appearance, like Shadow, or Shade, or Coal, or Smokey, but i went with Raven, i dont know why but i did!

i chose a white german shepherd because i was currently obsessed with Bolt, the disney movie!! its still one of my all time fav movies. 

I made her super plain white, turquoise eyes taken from the anime character Toshiro Hitsuguaya from Bleach (i always thought his eyes were the most BEAUTIFUL shade of blue EVER...)

i was also really into bandanas and camo patterns, specifically gray camo, thus ending up with THIS:

she wasn’t my main fursona then, i had a different character, but she was one of the many i had. i didnt draw her much, cause i liked complicated, fun designs, and she wasnt all that fun to draw. i mostly drew her in vent art cause it was the easiest, and she was more of a serious character (dont let that smile fool you)

When i finally up’d her to my main sona, i added a SHIT load of gear to her. this was during the era of making fun of wolf a boos and sparkledogs. they were major cringe, and i took great pride in NOT having such a colorful, blinding character. but she was STILL boring to draw, so what did i do?

GEARED HER UP BABEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i LOVE wearing hats, ofc i gave her one, including a spiked collar, and her gray bandana. wristbands, a ...bandage? i liked to wear as if i had some sort of wound, gave her an ipod arm band (including headphones), a sticker (it mightve actually been meant to be a TATTOO?) with my favorite number (11), and on her right shoulder an LOL face sticker, earrings, a chained wristband along her leg wristbands cause i played LOZ twilight princess and i liked the chain on Wofl Links leg, AND............A CHAIN...HARNESS?? oh also changed her eyes to red. cause red eyes were badass.

i almost NEVER drew her harness tho. FUCK CHAINS...

i changed my fursona again tho, to a lil fennec fox named Zenka. i made Raven more of a High school persona kinda of character, and also for vent again. i updated her designs but kept a lot of stuff on her still, i was really attached to a buncha her stuff. got rid of the chains and wrist bands and the stickers. combined her collar and bandana, made a camo printed collar, gave her a KITTY HAT i loved these types of hats back then!!! i collected the hell out of them! i gave her a pink nose, green eyes, and black faded tip tail (i played okami recently ghfdk). oh and i actually learned a bit of anatomy, so she looks more like an actual shepherd dog.

(got a tablet recently. did i mention the ones before were drawn with a mouse? its all tablet drawings from here on out)

i drew these only a few years ago for funsies, but this is a side by side comparison

i started to FINALLY become attached to Raven, but i wasnt feeling her green eyes, and i was starting to love pink. minus the black tipped tail, which i forgot (or maybe i didnt cause this was when i got the albino idea), here is when i officially started the process to permanently changing her design to what it is today. i also noticed i had a nick on my left ear, so its been an official staple of all my fursonas designs ever since.

made her a new anthro form that i ended up NEVER drawing after i made this cause i had no idea how to design clothes. disclaimer, ive NEVER smoked but i thought it was Cool(tm) back then, so id draw my sonas smoking. at least smoking rainbows didnt sound or look so deadly. OH and teh declawed design idea comes from when i started working in the job industry and bc of it i have bouts of joint and muscle pain every now and then, possibly arthritis, who can a afford a doctor and official diagnoses these days. and the effect of declawing animals shares the same symptoms, so i use it as a little hidden tid bit.

fast forward a bit, new ref 2015

i finally came out being a lesbian and its just been good designs since then. LOOK AT HER LIL FLUFF HEAD

new ref in 2017, finally new official name!! took getting some used to. i had a childhood friend who was considered a bad influence/bad seed child, but i enjoyed her company, and loved the name she picked for herself Blank.

besides liking the name, its “””””””symbolic”””””””” as seen in the second pic, a ref sheet i tried making earlier this year

(also ditched the ink stained tail design idea, nvr used it. now its just a silver tipped tail)

and HERE WE ARE NOW!!!!

THE COMEBACK OF THE GRAY CAMO............ anyways thank for hearing me out!!! ilove this girl so much
