FAQ

Where can I find your character lineup drawings for The Locked Tomb?

Gideon the Ninth | Harrow the Ninth | Nona the Ninth

Can I use your artwork as an icon/header on social media?

Sure! Crediting me is appreciated but not necessary.

Do you take commissions?

No, not at the moment.

Do you take requests?

I'm open to drawing requests. But unless I post that I'm actively seeking prompts, it's unlikely I'll fulfill them quickly.

What do you use to make your art?

For digital, I use Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop CC with a Wacom Intuos Pro M tablet on a desktop PC or Procreate with an Apple Pencil on an iPad Pro. For traditional, I use Pentel drafting pencils and ink brushes, Faber-Castell Pitt pens, and Copic sketch markers.
#wow look i actually made a proper informative pinned post

2 episodes in and my favorite show of the new anime season is Girls Band Cry.

Unfortunately it's not licensed on any English streaming platforms... but a proper fansub group (SobsPlease) picked up the series and they're doing excellent work. Highly recommended you check out their releases.

The lead seiyuu are all legit musicians who perform as the band Togenashi Togeari, the premise is refreshingly grounded, and the 3D animation pops off when it counts -- a lot of expressiveness in funny/emotional scenes and the song performances are really well directed and super accurate.

Also, casual gay rep in the first episode (Momoka is talking about her roommate here). So, rad.

#girls band cry#anime rec#momoka is so much my speed it's ridiculous lol#look at her with her sweet offset guitar#absolutely mystified that this series doesn't have an official EN release#when it's streaming internationally in other languages and the music has been killing it on YT/Spotify

since tumblr is going to start scraping blogs to train ai be sure to glaze and nightshade your art!! Not only will both of these programs protect your art from being copied but nightshade also poisons any ai that tries to steal it

here is some more info on these tools and where you can download them:

You do NOT have to do this on desktop? It works just fine on mobile

Hello,

If you are still doing drawing requests for inktober, I would love to see Jasnah Kholin in the classic 'wtf?' pose that lin beifong does in Korra.

Or

Your version of Tress (if you know Tress of the Emerald Sea from the cosmere.)

Love your art, keep it up!

For some reason, I fully zoned out and didn't register "Lin Beifong wtf pose" until after I'd drawn a Jasnah so... bonus, this prompt gets 2 drawings lol.

#m'art#digital#stormlight archive#jasnah kholin#haven't read the secret project books yet despite backing the KS#otherwise I'd have given drawing tress a shot

I’ve been waiting to get my hands on the third volume of She Loves To Cook And She Loves To Eat (TsukuTabe) just so I could read this conversation between Yako and Nomoto. I’ve noticed several recent yuri manga have been discussing asexuality lately, and I’m glad to see more.

I admire author Sakaomi Yuzaki, not only for putting these topics in TsukuTabe, but for also using their audience to try and bring about some positive change for actual members of minority groups in Japan.

i'm the person who asked for faith and plastic and THANK YOU SO MUCH!! i absolutely love it. ME never gets enough love let alone the side characters! thank you thank you! they look great!

It was my pleasure; thanks for the prompt! Mirror's Edge is near and dear to me (like I've been rocking art or screenshots from the games as wallpapers since 2008 and I learned to speedrun both ME and MEC), so it makes me super happy to encounter other fans of the series.

#maki replies#a potent mix of core gameplay and impeccable aesthetics and representation for me specifically#hm maybe time to reinstall them again lol
