Your art is so clean and crisp and fantastic, and I just wanted to tell you that you’re amazingly talented and I love your art :)

😳 oh wow! Thank you so much! I absolutely adore your writing! You do such a great job with the dynamic of the Chain but I especially love your fics featuring Twilight’s and Warriors’ dynamic (Beautiful and Snow are two of my faves!).

Thank you again! 🥰🥰

I’ve been scrolling through some of the Linked Universe tags the past few days and every so often I’ve come across your art, mostly of Warriors and Time and I just wanted to say I absolutely love it! Your art style is really cool and I love the way you colour the pieces you draw, it’s very nice! I hope you’re having an excellent day!

Thank you so much!! I’ve had so much fun drawing Warrior and Time shenanigans and it’s really helped push my art wrt character interactions

I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! 🥰🥰🥰

Time: So, what’s going on here?

Warriors: Not sure, but it definitely seems like something you should deal with.

If you aren't yet, please do yourelf a favour and go read 'even in another time' by @irregularcollapse / phlegmatic on ao3

scanning colored pencils is not ideal, learnt my lesson.

so many people have said that as you approach your 30’s things start to fall into place but I don’t feel that at all. the closer I get the more it feels that everything is dissolving and falling apart

[peitalo]

hey! can i ask how you made 'C/2022 E3, long time no see'? its really cool!

hello, thank you!! :-) that piece was done in the corner of my sketchbook with prismacolor pencils, + i blended into the blank page with a white prismacolor for the lighter portions. here’s what it looks like!

i sketched comet out in blue pencil, and the rest of the drawings on the page came after to fill in empty space ^^^

(putting on reporter hat/j) You mostly post the art you do with pencil but what other mediums do you enjoy using? Were you always drawn to pencils? Also obligatory compliment for your art, i love looking at all these lines ❤️

*ahem*

Thank you so much!! I love seeing your dexdark art on my dash as well! 💖

I honestly think my Thing with making pencil drawings started in high school, when I would bring my sketchbook to school and draw when I got the chance. Then later, I would post whatever fanarts I made to tumblr, or deviantart if we're going back that far. (I still think about DA and get nostalgic, but it's impossible to get a following on there so it's not meant to be :'( ) And people would give my gravity falls, steven universe, etc drawings positive attention, and that gave me motivation to make more.

So that's how the whole "making pencil drawings in my sketchbook, and putting in effort to make them pretty" thing started, but for a long time there, I was still making digital art pretty frequently. I think pencil drawing took over as my dominant medium when I started taking commissions. Because I used to offer digital comms as well as pencil drawing comms, but the traditional stuff was way cheaper, so it's what I did the most. And over time, my standards for my pencil stuff got higher and higher, and now it's like my Thing.

But I think part of the reason it stuck so much is just the convenience? I can take my sketchbook anywhere and draw if I'm out and about.

That being said, I think I should delve into digital stuff again, just because it would be a good change of pace! Digital illustration wise, I use photoshop. I used to do portrait bust thingies (I called them digital paintings). I haven't done that in a long time, and I might enjoy that more than I'd expect. Also, ever since I animated in toon boom, I've been so enamored with using vectors to make lineart. When I made digital lineart in the past, it could be so frustrating at times, how you'd have to redraw the same delicate curve over and over until it looked the way you want. So if I do something digital with lines in the future, I think I'll give the pen tool in photoshop a try.
