ATTENTION!!! ATTENTION!!! I AM LITERALLY WRITING A NOVEL WITH A HUGO WEAVING FANGIRL AS THE PROTAGONIST!!!!!

And do you want to hear about it? Good.

The book is called Poster Gal (though I’m considering a bunch of other names for it), and it takes place between 2004-2007. We also have a few other girls that are also friends with Izzy

They fuck around, get into fights at school, and have wacky adventures at the mall. Regular stuff… *giggle*

The first girl with the red hair and snakebites is Izzy Martinez, as I said, she is obsessed with Hugo Weaving, if the grape barrette wasn’t a subtle indicator. She is also interested in emo stuff, has her own Hugo Weaving fanpage (which I might make when it comes time to market the book), and she is also one of THE snarkiest creatures ever

Roxy Hamilton, the blue haired THING, is what most people these days would call mall-goth, even though that was just a term for “poser” back when the book takes place (Roxy really hates that mall-goth is an insult), her favorite band is Korn, and the only reason she looks that cool is because Izzy gives her the clothes needed to look cool. She LOVES reading comics in her free time, especially JTHM and Hellblazer. In fact, she likes Hellblazer so much that the brain worms from the gas station pizza she ate when she was 12 decided to eat her brain in a way that she becomes John Constantine essentially

Aspen , the ginger girl, is the resident Orlando Bloom/Viggo Mortensen fangirl, because we NEED one. She appears to be an unfriendly bitch who hates everyone at first, unless you get to know her a little better. Or you’re vaguely pretty like Izzy is. Aspen is based on every single friend I had for a few months that then turned into a total bitch, down to the physical appearance. Mainly Freedom, who didn’t actually match Aspen’s appearance as much as some of the others did, but still, she had vaguely sunburnt skin

also every character represents a real person, Izzy is me, Roxy is a slurry of some of my best friends, and we all know who Aspen is based on

Maybe you’ll learn more one day

hi!!! i just wanted to ask about the brushes you use & if you could provide them? if not that's completely fine ^^ i love ur art sm

hiiii tysm!! <333

i use a copy of sai 1 secondhand from my friend so i've got their custom brushes on there but the one i'm currently using is a reproduction of xamag's crayon brush. the settings look like this:

i also used to use a version of the pencil tool that i fiddled with to get a chisel-tip pen:

i switched over at the start of last year after a holiday exchange gift for a friend reminded me how much i love grit and texture and it has subsequently led to me getting looser and less finnicky abt my lines. i do miss the square edges tho so maybe more experimentation is in order

if you plan to use the crayon brush i absolutely recommend selecting large areas and going over them with as continuous of a stroke as you can get with the brush at a larger size for you to really get the texture/specks of negative space that makes it so visually delicious. unfortunately the smaller you go the more that same texture will work against you so be forewarned

otherwise thatse it and thank you once again for the compliment! it makes me so happy to get messages like this abt my art 💖💞💗mwah mwah
