"loves me, loves me not..."

heart buttons are on preorder in my store here!

i can FINALLY... share some of the art I've been hoarding this summer... the in-stock buttons sold out, but ive now put them on preorder. the ETA for finished PRODUCTION is by oct 31 AT THE VERY LATEST. tbh youll probably RECEIVE your buttons before that. but dont quote me on this it depends on if the package gets stuck in customs or not...

Ib has absolutely tickled the gothic horror part of my brain for ... 10 years now... the game is not gothic horror per se, but i like to interpret it as such :) it aligns so well with the victorian gothic horror genre because of the haunted paintings and prominent rose imagery.

i've been trying out different brushes for lineart this summer (well like, since last summer?), as i felt i haven't really felt like myself as an artist in the last 2 or so years. i tried a new brush, trying to re-capture the flow and quirk in my 2017-2018 art (i think this is a good example) with a similar chisel tip brush. although i think... it didn't really click with me & serve my needs anymore, and i think moving on from art tools you used to love is okay.
