Lilith (a true dom) meets Osster (a fake dom). What happens next is up to you.

some doodles.

(Osster would be amazed by Lilith and her powers n stuff. Honestly he'd be surprised to see another limeblood at all. he'd show her his magic abilities too which is just his lord of space powers.)

How do you put together the backgrounds for Kittyquest? I’m planning to make my own fanadventure sometime in the future and have no idea how people do it XD

hello! i started doing collage-type backgrounds for fics that were in complicated scenes that i didnt want to draw, so i had to find a way to work around it. some of my earliest collage work can be seen in a pacific girl in america.

ive considered filming my process for how i create, say, a room in kittyquest. for example, i have a new room coming up that will probably involve me taking an empty room stock image and filling it with furniture. but depending on the scene, my approach is different. for this panel, i took a picture of a forest, put a gaussian blur on it, played with hues and overlays, and drew some trees on top of preexisting ones so the figures wouldnt look out of place. for this panel - i basically used gdansk for all of my parlourhouse scenery - i wanted to use two different streets that dont converge in real life. so i took out the vanishing point of the street, replaced it with another building that i removed the sky from, and used an entirely different image for the sky itself. for kitty and ramonas rooms, on the other hand, i had to basically do it all myself. a lot of rooms in the harley-leider house are empty rooms that i then painted the walls of and furnished individually. this can backfire and cause you to hesitate in suspending your belief, however, when you try to image how the house is set up. kittys house from the outside does not match the window placement of the interior, but i try to make things look as seamless as i can. another thing that becomes important is making sure you have multiple shots of the same room. this became a massive pill when i was doing both rose and roxys homes, and it was why i had to painstakingly craft multiple angles of ms joanas classroom manually.

there are a few things that will get you through the process faster. remove.bg, if you dont use photoshop and thus cant use a subject select tool, and sketchfab, which has a lot of good free 3d models that you can rotate around and screengrab to fit your backgrounds perspective.

the most important thing that sells a collaged background, i think, is how your figure interacts with it. that means making sure that shadows and lighting fall in a convincing way. i try to make sure they cast a shadow on their surroundings and sometimes add a trace of reflected light on one side of them. something else you can do is use overlays to indicate a time of day. for example, in the early pages of kittyquest i used a lot of oranges and yellows to show that it was morning, then took those overlays away as morning turned to early afternoon.

i guess what im saying is that you really have to just play around with it. there are a lot of ways to make things flow together convincingly and i learn new tricks all the time just by experimenting. its satisfying when everything just clicks together - its like solving a puzzle.

How many times am I allowed to make requests? I really like how you draw Lilith but I don’t want to over-ask.

as many as you'd like! I don't mind!

I don't limit the amounts of requests. mostly cuz I've never had to- unless it's like 100 at once. but go ahead and request anything!

[lowsodiumlevels]

99 for the ask meme?

99. Be immortal or be immune to everything aside from natural death?

- I would want to be immune to everything aside from natural death. cuz if being immune to everything means never getting sick. heck yeah! I don't wanna be immortal and still have to deal with sickness xD

Can you draw Lilith doing a spooky?

I hope this is ok! -and spooky enough.

If all of your OCs were thrown into an all-out free for all battle to the death who would win?

This honestly took me a while to think about xD

uh- probably Orxefo or Xopium.

maybe Janeal.

and then outta those 3 if they fought.

yeah Orxefo would win.
