Hi anon! Not bothering at all, thanks for your message <3

All the brushes I use are textured from the start, I like using a lot of watercolour or paint brushes! The trick is to not go over it too many times so the texture doesn’t smooth out.

It also helps to contrast with sharper/cleaner edges and overall shapes so the textures are more prominent.

The pieces I remember are that spectacular Yuna FFX painting done in blue, and the series of similar Inuyasha/Sesshomaru paintings and drawings from around 2019-2020. The Yuna is one of my favorite pieces of art ever.

Completely understandable if you don't want them available for purchase, I know your style has evolved a lot over the years and you might want to curate things carefully. Whatever you decide is all good. I'm just a huge fan of graphic painted styles, and they are very dear parts of my inspo collection.

Thank you again and cheers!

Thank you for the kind words & reminding me anon! :)

I actually have that print available on the Gallery Nucleus Online Store

If we don't see certain prints available on inprnt, would you mind if we requested them? If you'd rather not, I totally understand. Just figured it was worth an ask just in case. Thank you so much, and cheers! Thank you for continuing to create! 🙏

Aww thanks so much anon 🥹 that means a lot!

"Omggg I love your art style soo much!!! Absolutely scrumptious. But I have a question, do you have any tips on finding your own art style?? Because everytime I draw I feel like it changes 24/7 😭😭 I'm not very experienced, but art is something I enjoy so I was just wondering"

Firstly, thank you so much!!

Art styles are a bit of an overrated topic imo. I genuinely believe that everyone naturally has their own 'art style' no matter how much they try to skew the way they draw. Art style isn't just something visual, it's also innate-- an amalgamation built from all your inspirations, tastes, the little lazy short cuts you take, the topics you decide to draw, etc... I wouldn't be too worried about 'finding your art style'. instead, focus on having fun with art and it WILL come out. Even if you don't see it, others will! If anything, exploring *different* art styles is absolutely a great thing! You can pick and choose your favourite parts of every 'style' you try out, learn what you like or don't like, and it forces you to go outside your comfort zone and continue learning. The mindset of committing to an 'art style' feels very limiting to me, and could stagnate your artistic progress.

To this day I also wonder if I have my own 'art style'-- but I notice it in little ways. Colours I like using, topics or compositions I repeat subconsciously, certain elements I like drawing... I know it'll always be there no matter how far I try to branch out.
