I miss u and ur art tamee where is it 😩

I'm sorry ;-; The past month has been rough, but I'll be posting more soon ✍️!

Hello, Tamee! How are you? I hope you're doing well.

I absolutely love your art and admire you so much—you’re my source of inspiration. I’ve always wanted to learn how to draw, but since it requires dedication, I’ve always struggled to stick with it. That blending post you made really inspired me to start, for real this time. Thank you for the indirect encouragement. ♥️🥰

I also noticed you’re familiar with tokyorev. Do you have a favorite character or ship? Do you plan to draw something related to it someday?

Hi!! I'm okay, thank you ^^ Hope you are too

Aaahh that's SO good to hear ;-;!!! 🧡 I'm glad it was somewhat helpful; tbh, I can't ever tell. 

I think the best advice I could give on dedication is that you shouldn't ever underestimate consistency. That a scribble here and there—although you may think it's not significant at the moment—will have more impact on your goal than tiring yourself out trying to make that one perfect thing and expect those same results from yourself over and over again. (I speak from experience, lol.) The "insignificant" scribbling is what keeps inspiration alive and feeds the habit that pushes you into familiarity. Well, it just means that it's a lot easier to start drawing because you remove obstacles.

Regardless, it's important to have fun! Draw things you're already interested in. If you're frustrated… that's okay as an artist, really. Amplify it, use it, and who knows what that'll look like in your art :')! 

Ah yeah, I love TokyoRev! (I have yet to see the latest season though.) The only character I didn't really like was Takemichi in the beginning omg >< (I know!) I like Mikey, Mitsuya and Chifuyu the most… I think? There are too many ships in this show though, I don't really have a favorite, but yes, I would!

okay this might sound weird...

tomorrow i have a speaking exam and ai can be one of the topics i talk about. of course i'm gonna focus on the negatives since there are little to no benefits. i remember you saying how ai negatively effected you but i can't see the post. if it doesn't bother you can i use that as a example in my exam and can you tell me again what happened?

Oh, of course! Though, I hope this still reaches you in time. And yeah, I can't ever find my own posts either. I'm not sure how to fix the tags >< 

Well, I thought I had everything set out for me for a while because I was going to work on different projects as an artist. But then Midjourney became open to the public. 

When I was in South Korea, I started to work with a start-up and made art for their product, but then they decided to use AI instead because it was cheaper. I also met up with the owner of another company that asked me to design characters for an app. But when I got home, they already had the characters made by AI? Yet, he still wanted me to trace over the generated images to fix Midjourney's mistakes, though "as you can understand, we'll pay less." 

There were a few more instances like this. I also received an offer to create a few pieces of art so these could be used to train an AI model. Basically, every project that I was going to work on had been ruined by AI 🥲

Hello!! You're by far my favourite naruto artist on here, and I have a couple questions about your commissions 👉👈 I'd like to know if would accept comms for selfship art, or would that make you uncomfortable? Also, if it's a Sasuke commission, does the character description still have to be so thoroughly filled out when I know you're familiar (perfect at) drawing him? >.< Sorry to bother you, and thank you in advance!! 💕

aheuwihfiewga thankyou sm, omg?! 😭💕 That is fine! Though, I don't draw irl people, so if by 'self' you mean yourself, you'd have to describe the character as an OC, if that makes sense? (Not through a picture of an irl person.) And no! >< Good point! But I do need to know which version of Sasuke, which outfits/hairstyles etc you prefer! You don't necessarily have to fill it in, I'll do it if left blank ^^!

[tamelee]

You can check my Commission info and status here & on my pinned post ^^! ✍️

Loved your response to my last question with F1. Since you're a F1 fan as well, what teams would you correspond with Naruto characters. Idk why but I picture Kakashi as the team principle of Willams just because 💩 always happening, and he's just gotta deal, lol. As always love the art. Congrats to Max for his 4th championship 👏

Yay~!🎉🏁 (and thank you!) Oh lol, good one ><

Hm, I'm not sure... I don't think it'd be good to feed Naruto energy drinks, but otherwise I'd put him in Redbull with Haku. Orange suits him, but I don't think McLaren does? Bee'd drive a McLaren.

Jiraiya would be Horner iykwim 👀 Then Orochimaru as Toto Wolff and Sasuke in Mercedes... with Kimimaro? Yamato as RB b-team boss with Sai. Gaara in Ferrari for sure. Ino and Konohamaru in Aston Martin with Iruka as team boss (bc Stroll lol). Lee under Gai in KS. Sakura in an Alpine.

Love your art, I've been really into F1 recently, and I can picture Sasuke and Naruto being rivals in an AU story. My question is what sports irl can you picture them being rivals in?

F1 in my ask box?!!?!?!? Yeah, I'm super invested in the sport for a while now! (And all the drama lmao.) As a Dutchie, I'm a Max fan ofc. SNS as drivers is already on my draw-ideas list!

Other than F1 and football, I don't really follow a lot of other sports, but maybe (M)MA? Boxing? Anything with weapons? E-sports?(!) Or volleyball? (That's just because I'm a Haikyuu fan.) Or! Something akin to a local chess competition, where their rivalry transforms their lives into a strategic chess game—every piece a reflection of their conflict—until the game itself becomes something only they can truly understand?

Kinda like Sasuke saying he "lost" after VotE2, but it's a different context ♜

But definitely F1! 🏁

(in response to that other anon with the creepy sexuality ask) (so this is sarcastic) Tell us your medical history as well. Also your mother’s maiden name and what street you live on. Don’t forget to share the 4 numbers on the back of your card-

This may be sarcastic, but some asks that people send really aren't too different from this!

[tamelee]

Have you finally said your sexuality? Go tamelee dont be shy

I haven't.

[tamelee]

I really likeee so much your art, I hope I can hug you and say thank you for being in the fandom

Hug virtually received 🥹 thank you so much!💕🧡

[tamelee]

Do you like Hinata? would you draw her near of naruto (and sasuke jealousy)?

Hinata H. is at the top of my 'least favorite characters'-list 😬

[tamelee]

Hiii tamalee, I just want to say that I love the way you draw Naruto!!!! It really fills me with nostalgia as you depict him like the first time I watched the series back when i was a kid, as a mischievous, playfull and hyperactive boy, which at the same time its a response to his lonliness and that is like, totally cannon?? Which is even better beacuse you totally get his Character, and the FACT that you that you draw him happy with sasuke is the cherry on top of the cake and the best thing eveeeer!! Really thank you so so much, may the Lord bless you! And lot of greetings from south amarica!!!

Hiiiii @soloyoyquienmas ! Aaahhh thankyou so much, and for your blessings too!✨ Your message is so kind 😭😭💕 I'm very glad you like my art and that it resonates with you. They're definitely happy with each other-aannddd-they're so unhappy without each other ;-; aarrgghhh they deserved so much better 🥺

[tamelee]

Would it be alright if I used your latest pic - Sasuke taking his jacket off for the fic I’ve just written. It’s a sci-fi fic - but the latest chapter has both neck worship and jacket taking off action in it 🥺🥺🥺 the artwork is so beautiful

Hi @acanthamd ! ohhh that's sounds great! Is it an SNS story?-then sure! Just in case, please check my pinned post ^^ thankyou! I really enjoy drawing Sasuke's hair that way ;-;

[tamelee]

it started as a drawing of Sasuke in a jacket but then... ♡

[tamelee]

Hi, since what year have you been drawing? I'm very curious about it.

Hi~ I started drawing since the 'inktober' challenge in 2020 ^^
