flaming parked car

decided it would be in my best interest to pin my carrd here since it has pretty much all my relevant information

here is a couple of pictures of me repping my own merch btw bc i realized i never do any self promotion here

and some pictures of my other products

if you like zato and you like being edgy u should check out my shop :) im adding new keychains soon btw

last year zato birthday drawing vs this year

the one for this year is mad early but . idc

okay so hair in my art usually has two main parts

the border effect layer is where i paint the bulk of the hair usually,, painting is my preferred method bc i feel like when i try to draw lineart for hair it limits the flowiness that im trying to achieve and i get frustrated drawing it over and over again so i just paint and use border effect to give the appearance of lines

i paint the rest in a darker color on the lowest layer for depth and usually don't put a border effect on it bc i think it looks prettier that way

and then i do stray hairs and highlights on my add/glow layer and shading/details on a clipping layer over the border effect one

and yeah

awhile ago i had a friend that used to send me knife and gun emojis if i was up past midnight to try to tell me to go to sleep which is why i set it as that
