your lines in even your quick art is so smooth and round... do you have any tips on how to make your lines look so clean?

yes!! you have to stop erasing. if you draw / sketch in pen irl it basically force you to become more confident in your lines.

also, make big swooping strokes instead of tiny sketchy ones. itll look kind of messy for awhile but the more you do it the stronger your linework will become.

also, if it illuminates this; the quick pokemon art i do isnt lined! those are my sketches. i just go straight into drawing those. its genuinely possible to get your draftsmanship here with a lot of practice

id also recommend drawing from life, not just from your minds eye - it gets you a lot better at drawing something as an image rather than what you think it looks like. both are valuable skills in art (one for structure/realism and one for self expression) but if you want better penmenship you have to practice drawing as a skill of your hands over a skill of your mind.

you can still have fun while you do this btw literally i redraw anime screenshots to practice sometimes

I would like to give a shout out to the gullible folks. The people who were lied to with some ridiculous story by an abuser and taken advantage of. People who can't describe their situation to others bc they know it sounds crazy, but they have fallen too deep to escape.

You aren't dumb. You're so trusting and so full of love. It is not your fault others take advantage. There are people out there that will not lie to you like others have. Your trauma is valid even if the lies you were told were so outlandish people laugh when you try to explain the terror you lived through.

Don't stop loving. Don't stop trusting. Just... Learn how to be more selective with your trust. Because not all have pure intentions for you.

Hey dollblr new dolls just dropped: https://x.com/navinity_art/status/1821092597353370051

They're called "Secret Findees: Magic Mailbox"

They're tiny 2 inch dolls in mailbox style houses, there are 4 of them 2 per color. 2 for the pink box and 2 for the purple box. There are colored QR codes on the bottom of them that are color coordinated to each doll apparently. I linked the creator's twitter where she shared the commercial and here is a direct link to the youtube video of the commercial: https://youtu.be/V3o5zrIrkvs?si=pV6NasBFht3tbnvI

Apparently stock photos for the Findees dolls are available on Target!

My favorites are probably Roxee and Zoee, but every design is spectacular imo! Gives me Animal Crossing meets Strawberry Shortcake vibes

We know there's various of creatures in Heathens world, but normalized is magic i'm curious? Is it considered a mundane occurrence, rare, or something a normal person would be shocked to see?

depends on the kinda magic, and the region. things like light levitation, illusions, and changing an objects color are considered party tricks in a big city, but it can blow the mind of someone in poorer areas.

also, magic here isn't inherent to people, it's more in nature and the world, and whether or not someone can perform magic depends on how well they can attune to the universe around them. The vessels and voices, being parts of gods that quite literally make up the universe, are very attuned to magic whether they know it or not.

clam soup interview?

i often refer to "clam soup interview" when talking about the detail in splatoon worldbuilding being all over the fucking place and this is the interview I'm talking about.

It is an in-universe interview for two graffiti artists in Inkopolis, from Haikarawalker (the Octo Expansion artbook that still hasn't gotten an official localization). i call it the "clam soup interview" because they spend a portion talking about their preferences in how many clams they like to have in miso soup. And of course, random bits of super specific worldbuilding are great, but it's baffling how this is the kind of detail they put in parts of the game and meanwhile we still don't have an official explanation for HOW THE WEAPONS WORK

♻️, 🤔,🧭, and ❤️ for the ask game!

♻️A scrapped idea for your current WIP

The first draft I had for chapter eight of spirit box was an immediate continuation after seven where Loki watches Mobius take off the boards off all the windows, and they snip at each other for the rest of the chapter. I scrapped it because it felt too similar to the previous chapter, and also I realized I was getting too in my head about not doing time skips because I felt like I had to over-explain the transitions. Once I realized Loki would have disappeared the moment Mobius got one over him and I could just start the next chapter further along in the future, I deleted everything I wrote and started over.

🤔What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet?

I have a pretty fully fleshed cowboy AU hanging around in the back of my head. I know the type of world it's going to be set in and the narrative roles that they both play and the magic system the world uses. I also know where I think I want it to end and pretty much all the functioning parts required to write it. I just don't know where I want to begin it, exactly. It'll be a Loki POV work to contrast SB being a Mobius POV (I love dual POVs but I thought it would be fun/refreshing to be able to switch between the two without actually committing to switching between two within one story) and I think I want to start it with a bank robbery but nothing I've written works for my vision. I'm excited to get it on the road, though. I really like how it looks inside my head.

🧭An alternative title to your/ one of your WIP(s)?

I don't think I have alternate titles once I settle on something, it's pretty settled. I did just name one wip 'white rabbit' because someone referenced it as a symbolic role for mobius on a mood board and I really liked that.
