#this kinda reminds me of frutiger aero

Nothing much just wanted to bless your dash with this pufferfish I drew (this was my first time attempting realism AND animals don’t judge lol)

JUST FOUND YOUR BLOG AND I LOVE YOUR ART!!!!

Your line art is so smooth and the colors too! How are u underrated

Thanks :]]

Actually I remember doing thick linearts before to make it look like y2k bubbly styled and I was thinking of going back again since I wanted to make logos or icons like this one:

These ig were just a lil practice if someday I'll be making one (or more of these). Also this is just an example btw, these are artist-made game icons. Imo, if it were me to be commissioned to design one or if I was assigned by a game dev, then most likely its gonna look like something that y'all won't know who did that thing lol.

Besides, I'm pretty sure a lot of people were inspired by my artstyle. 😭 Also in case you guys don't know what these are, I'll show you guys mine. (NOTE: You can still check on archive, I don't mind though-)

Examples of my artworks with thick lineart:

The first one was Hatsune Miku fanart

I kinda remember drawing this back in the day since 2023, the sketch version (on my other sketchpad) was discontinued. Supposed to finish it but, sadly I gave up because the hair was something that reminded me of an Inkling from Splatoon (rarely I noticed the first miku fanart also reminded me too lmao).

I wish I'd do this again hopefully if I could use my artstyle, then yeah. Watch here if you want to see the speedpaint :3 : https://youtu.be/sRE3-snDGkM?si=op3tISbGFTjLCcdB

Next one is Bomb Rush Cyberfunk fanart

Okay LISTEN, I may not be good at anatomy but might as well tried especially RED's head. For the BG, I only duplicated the character + added a screenshot/fakescreenshot/whatever, to make it look related to both y2k & frutiger aero (same applies to Hatsune Miku).

Nothing to say much but I've been thinking of making more character concept arts in the future & maybe work on shoes since they look a bit too complicated much.

Overall, I'd say it isn't bad. I'll just leave as it is for now (until some BRC fan shows up and sees this).

Last but not the least, my very first artist-made album cover

I remembered drawing this for future use if I ever find a music composer either if they can do DnB, game soundtrack or whatever but it slightly depends on them. Also shout out to Lxchee Music! They're the ones who compose music like these. They even commented on my speedpaint video!!! (after using their songs lol).

Such a shame that I am limited to drawing only however, I wish I also was a composer of this whooooooole album then everyone's gonna listen to my bangers. One time I used to make music in Beepbox.co (a website where you can compose there).

There are some music-composing softwares that most people use for their game making & also songs. I wish I'd even use FL studio or other music-composing. Reminds me, I also have one friend who makes music (unrelated to dnb or any genre) using accordian & any other instruments that he uses. I swear, he is so good in composing Nintendo Orchestra-music related I can tell.

Conclusion

No worries though, I didn't say I hate using thick lineart but its sometimes too much for the anatomy still and might not fit pretty well. I can still do another one hopefully just to focus on more y2k aesthetic. But if it were me to learn anatomy, might as well use thin lineart and just increase to make it look like there is perspective on it.

Anyways, ig this might be a long one but I do hope you understand what I mean-

i made a tiktok that is going semi viral, at least by my standards.

i don't really post on tiktok. Maybe a video of my dog, a screen recording of my spotify wrapped. No face, no voice, its honestly mostly for myself. in my six years on that app, i only have 8 videos posted.

I think with the "ban" (the Blip?), it felt safer to post knowing they'd only be there for a few weeks, so i posted a bit more often. in December I posted a song remix i made. I posted a little drawing/animation i drew. I posted some funny comments. They all got between 400 and 1000 views, and a few comments. Much more than i was expecting, with all my previous videos getting views in the double digits, 400 views seemed like a lot to me.

Two days ago I made a tiktok about liking pre-switch nintendo system's UI and sound design. Its my first tiktok that i show my face in. Im holding my 3ds like a burger and pretending to take a bite out of it. i dont know why. When i was making it, i knew the text i wanted to put and the sound i wanted to use (The dsi home screen ambiance), but didnt know what to do in the video. I was messing around making drafts, staring into the camera unblinking, or showing my 3ds and opening it. In one draft I ended up pretending to eat it and i thought it was funny so i posted it. Thats really all there was to that. well no there's kinda more. I sometimes get a feeling when i really like something, usually a song, or a show, or a general vibe, that i cant get enough of it. Like, listening to the song isn't enough, watching the show isn't enough. I need to eat the song. I need to eat my 3ds.

Anyway, I posted the video and it immediately started popping off like crazy. Tons of views and likes. Its approaching 2 days after posting it, and the video currently has 190k views. Holy moly!!! Even though going viral on tiktok typically means 1M views or more in a few days, nearly 200k is unthinkable to me. Its fun and exciting seeing all the comments agreeing, disagreeing, sharing how the music reminds them of their childhood, talking about the upcoming switch 2, talking about aesthetics like frutiger aero and technozen.

Its fun, but if i knew it would get this many views, i dont know that i would've shown my face. It was late when i made that video. I had just taken a nap, my hair was messy, i'd only done light makeup that morning and most of it had rubbed off. The angle was a bit unflattering. Puffing my cheeks pretending to chew made my face look big. I've looked better. I posted it thinking just my friends and maybe a handful of other people would see. But two hundred THOUSAND people have seen what my face looked like that night.

Of the 400+ comments, i've only gotten 3 negative ones. One calling me mid, one calling me a poser, and one that just said "ew" lol. Of all the negative comments in the world, these ones arent that bad and pretty funny tbh, so im not that upset.

Im much more interested in the discussion happening about whether the switch 2 should have menu music like nintendo's previous systems. And that one person who said the music playing was an F minor chord, but getting shot down with multiple replies about how its CLEARLY an E sustained 4.

I feel encouraged not just to post more, but to DO more so that i can post it. Not random stuff, things I've already intended to do or thought about making videos of. My apartment bathroom im trying to make frutiger aero. Little coding projects I've been meaning to do but putting off. I've been wanting to attempt coding an application for my 3ds, and i feel really excited to try, and to post it to see what people think. and I'd be lying if i said i dont want to redeem my appearance after debuting as the post-nap smudged makeup version of myself. i wonder if this is the start to something. probably not.
