Chubs Deuce

[please don't ask me about Aftershow for the time being]

Hi!

I'm Chubs, I'm a 26 years old, self-taught multifandom hobby artist and occasional writer from Germany! 🇩🇪✨

My digital art setup consists of a Windows 10 desktop computer, a Huion HS610 screenless tablet and Clip Studio Paint EX (ver.4)!

-------------------------------

Things to note:

You CAN send me requests, but be aware that there's only like a 10% chance of me actually doing them - I cherrypick the ones I like bc my motivation is flaky, so please don't needle me about it when I don't do them, you WILL get blocked

you're allowed to use my art for profile pictures and blog/account banners as long as you credit me for the art in your bio or in a pinned post <3

you're always allowed and welcome to make art of my AUs and OCs! Please tag me if you do!

I AM SEVERELY ANTI AI AND DO NOT CONSENT TO MY WORK BEING USED FOR AI OF ANY KIND. THIS INCLUDES C.AI, GENERATIVE AI AND LLMS OF ANY KIND

-> -> -> (if you have questions about the Aftershow AU, please make sure you check out the Aftershow AU FAQ first!) <- <- <- IT'S ON HIATUS

-------------------------------

Here's some helpful links:

-> [TADC] Aftershow AU masterpost <- includes links to the fic, comic etc.

-> My blog tags for your filtering convenience

-> My fandoms

-> My twitch <- (I stream every SU, MO, WE, FR)

-------------------------------

both as long as the plot is actually cooked right and not just a bland, formulaic nothingburger that only exists to be gay

I wasn't present at the time of when it happened but I heard of that incident lol

-----

I'm not entirely sure if this is in reference to a specific project of mine but I am generally definitely someone who uploads things whenever I finish them, I don't like hoarding/withholding my work, I crave feedback too much for that :'D

Why did you choose your username to be Chubs Deuce?

are there any games, books, shows, or movies that you like a lot but rarely talk about (atleast on tumblr)

what is your favorite school subject and favorite part of that subject? (For example science, biology or math, geometry)

How many countries have you been to? (Including your native country ofc)

what is your favorite animal?

What is a very odd experience/story that has happened to you that you think has happened to nearly no one else?

How many kiwis (animal) would it take to defeat you?

OOOO~

well I'm happy to answer them lol

It's a reference to a character from Homestuck! (Clubs Deuce)

speaking of, I think Homestuck is actually a great example of a piece of media I don't actually talk about on this blog often even tho it occupies such a special spot in my soul lmao

I graduated in 2017 and was at the peak of my depression then so I lowkey can't remember which subject I hated the least aside from maybe art oops

Well I live in Germany, but I've also been to the Netherlands, Scotland, England, Portugal, Kroatia and Denmark! Funfact, three of these I've been to was specifically in order to meet people from online in real life <3

I know it's extremely basic but I loooooove cats

Hm... someone on Facebook once tried to pressure me into gifting him all my MLP OCs because I stopped drawing them and he got verbally abusive when I said no LMAO

Kiwis are adorable so I'd probably fold with just one in front of me, I am not very strong

Absolutely insane

She is just. SO fucking OVAL

What do you reccomend for writers and comic creators, since you are a huge inspiration for my comic work ♡♡♡

oh wow omg that's very high praise, thank you!!! <3

Hmmmm...

plan ahead and write bullet point style lists (aka outlines) of what you want to happen in your story, ideally you wanna do this for both the overarching plot points as well as for every chapter individually! -> for Comics in particular it's extremely helpful to write an outline that includes dialogue first, since this helps a ton with planning out your panels and speech bubble placements in advance!

if you're worried about irregular updates, write out a stockpile of multiple chapters/pages in advance before you start posting!

don't get hung up on the nitty gritty - just make it exist first, it doesn't have to be good right away! The editing stage exists for a reason, you can always fix everything later! -> If you're unsure about your writing quality and/or just need someone to read over what you wrote to make sure no typos or grammar mistakes slipped in: ask around your social circles for a beta reader!) -> for comics, make very rough concept doodles of your page layouts first, that way you can figure out if you like the placement or not without committing to a complex art process only to hate it later anyway!

for the love of all, don't fall for the "AI convenience" trap! Using generative AI and LLMs is never ethical! Plus you learn soooo much faster and better by actually doing it yourself :D

HAVE FUN!!!!

I hope these help even just a little bit <3

*while glooping gloopily*

yes <3

oh yeah I've been in the zutara trenches since like 2014 LMAO, only back then I kind of pretended I didn't like it bc my only friend in class was a severely anti-zutara kat/aang shipper... >_>

it's kind of really funny that I keep accidentally stumbling into loving the ""controversial"" het ships PFFF

-----

You are an inspiration to us all ❤️

sdkjfsldjfk and here I was lowkey worrying about needing like 2 weeks for 2.5k words because I got mega unsure and had to rewrite a bunch of things multiple times :'D

So this was surprisingly reassuring to read haha, thank you!! <3

-----

...... I'm gonna be so honest I have not checked the PHM tags in a hot fucking minute bc I was too focused on other stuff :'D I have not seen those at all oops

-----

I read about 80% of it and I like both a ton! I genuinely couldn't pick a favorite if I tried haha

The movie has the visual richness and artistic passion that I adore + fantastic soundtrack and I admittedly like the ship's design better there, but the book is more thorough with fleshing out the worldbuilding context and characters, they both imo have merit in their own ways and imo feel very complementary! Like, they both make the other version better - the book has the fleshed out plot, the movie has the lovingly put together atmosphere and visuals and together they make a banger fictional media experience.

There's a reason I reference both a lot in a cherry picked mix for my fic haha

-----

I don't touch horror as a genre with a ten foot pole tbh, I absolutely hate feeling scared ^^"

-----

My plans are that I'm burned out as fuck on TADC as a whole so I need to stop feeling burned out on it before I can even think of continuing with the Aftershow stuff so until then it's on hiatus and I'm trying to keep my creative drive fed with other topics in the meantime 🤷

It's not canceled, not completed, not abandoned, just on hiatus. If I tried to prematurely force myself to make more art and such for it I would go from feeling exhaustion to feeling hatred and that's the last thing I want 😅 I'm just not made for the one trick pony life, if I only did one thing forever and ever my love for creating would shrivel and die and my soul would be replaced with void - it's why I'm a multifandom artist

So like. When I continue on it is wildly dependent on vibes lol

They would remind him a bit of baby eridians and he'd love how varied they are

Second place would go to beetles for similar reasons except instead of reminding him of baby eridians he just thinks they're very elegant for something so small

🪲🐞🪲🐞🪲

Mammalian animals he'd like too, especially the soft and cuddly ones (feels nice to touch, warm, friendly), but those two^ types of animals he'd just be absolutely enamored by I feel
