I want to be an artistic generalist but it’s so unrealistic for me rn!!

Me, fighting tooth and nail against my irl friends who are sw*fties: yeah well, maybe I want my sad girl music to have a 3 minute guitar solo and distorted audio after the second verse of vaguely gay lyrics have you considered that ?!

I really like your comic. Out of curiosity, what are your art inspirations?

that's a really good question with a slightly difficult answer because i tend to absorb bits and pieces of any media i like into my art style lol

(this got a little long, so answer under the cut)

if i go far back enough, i think my first real taste of comics as a medium was Cassandra Jean's graphic novel adaptations of Miss Peregrine

(images copied from her announcement of the second book)

looking back on it now, the overall style is loose and sketchy, but still readable (which are not necessarily words i'd use for my own style lmao) but there's the use of value and solid black that i still strive for. the style is also very manga-esque, but i definitely picked up a few things on drawing faces and action from these books

(her more recent style is a lot cleaner and a lot more graphically complex, but there's still an emphasis on interesting, readable shapes)

there's also Peter Nevins, who did the original cover for the Hadestown concept album (and the cover for the NYTW recording? correct me if i'm wrong). he also did a few covers for Anaïs Mitchell's other works

(i actually drew a piece based on that second cover a few years ago)

he primarily works in linocut prints, which is a medium that kinda forces you to think in terms of value. while i mostly use the stuff he's done for Anaïs Mitchell as an example, i'm also fond of the original work on his shop

over the years though, Drawfee has probably been the most consistent source of inspiration? it feels a little weird to call them that, especially considering the fact most people know them as a comedy show, but i've been using their speed draw videos as background noise for ages now

i'm really fond of the atmosphere that they've created with their channel, and it's been so fun watching and growing in art skill alongside them (and sometimes having my vocab for the week be utterly destroyed by one of their bits)

there's definitely way more people i could name (CanisAlbus and asmeesh here on tumblr) and a huge pile of webcomic artists (Tracy Butler, Meg Syverud, Sarah Webb, Petra Nordlund—there's so many) but this post is already unreadable so i'll stop there lol

thank you for the ask, and thanks for reading Outsiders :D!!

i made blondies and theyre awful. suicide really is the answer to everything,

[steppenwolfofslytherinhouse]

lowkey wanna write a story where Toji,having the crazy body that he has (heavenly restriction,all that) doesn't actually die but ends up in a different universe (multiverse ftw), y/n's universe where there are no jujutsu sorcerers,no curses but other supernatural stuff exists

perhaps I can finally write smth with decent relatable y/n who doesn't stammer or lose her head when faced with a (hot traumatized) man,is basically a tired-af level-headed woman who acts like a stressed out fifty y.o. (she's in her late twenties lol.)

Yup, I'm not publishing anything, but it's not a lack of originality, it's just that I want to do so many things and I don't know where to start... (and school doesn't help either :v)

{My music has been a mixture of musicals, HSR soundtracks and Honeyworks songs. At least it helps me get out of writer's block for a bit!}
