DropsDraws

Origins of your blog's name

This one is really random, I was messing around with too many different usernames on different platforms, until at some point I wanted to establish a unified online 'brand' to post my art... but because I couldn't think of anything original to save my life I booted up the most recent release of Super Smash Bros 'cause I knew it had a random nickname generator - and luckily my German copy of the game landed on 'Drops' instead of something like 'Akkusativ' - And then I immediately went "Cool, I can make an alliteration with that because I draw!"

My “I’ll always order this” food

mmh I'm too broke to order food on the regular, but I'll never say no to one of these take-away noodle boxes that are just labeled 'Asia'

Overused Emoji

definitely the one with the sweat drop😅 It's a match made in heaven for me^^ Also anything else that I can express nervousness/anxiety with 😶‍🌫️🙈🫣🫠 And of course the classic xD or the hearthian ::D

Current comfort movie, show, book and games

So many things at once! For movies I had to think a bit... Probably something like the Lego Movie or anything that blows me away with its creativity and is way better than it has any right to be^^ Also Coraline comes to my mind, I watch that one when I have trouble getting my life together and it weirdly helps, not because it's comfy but because it makes me feel uneasy Comfort show: This one's easy - Steven Universe!✨Gay space rocks gotta be one of my favorite genders :3 Comfort book: Well... when I need to be comforted I don't really sit down to read, but I guess I might flip through some art books to get motivated :,) Finally games: Outer Wilds of course, and also TLOZ, specifically Wind Waker and Skyward Sword, which is funny because they both inspired Outer Wilds in basically opposite ways. And now I find it all the more ironic that Skyward Sword used to be my all-time favorite game before Outer Wilds!

Song on repeat

Touch-Tone Telephone by Lemon Demon! It's so good you guys, pls listen to it if you haven't already! I refuse to believe that there exists any song more amazing and unhinged than this <3

Current Hyperfixations

Outer Wilds ofc, and for the last couple of weeks also randomly learning French simply because some specific detail about the gendering in that language sparked my interest and instead of just looking that up and being satisfied I got in too deep lol

Oddly specific thing that brings me joy

when I have leftover food so I don't need to plan and prepare a new meal for the day✨

What smell makes me happy

I think I'm the happiest when the air is cold and fresh and there is no smog or cigarette fumes or anything in it, idk if that's a smell or the absence of smell, but it is a feeling of freedom and clarity for me.

Something I loved as a kid and still secretly do

collecting toys and becoming way too emotionally attached to them

Phone wallpaper right now

Just the Outer Wilds cover artwork, no surprise there. It used to be a drawing from my Bachelor's thesis for like the past five years, so it became time to change it for once.

Are you an early bird or a night owl?

Absolutely a member of the night owl club! I'm most awake/productive in the evening time and it's super hard for me to stop what I'm doing and go to bed, but then it's also super hard to get out of bed in the mornings. I think my ideal sleep schedule would be to stay awake for like 20 hours and then sleep for 10, if only days worked that way.

If you work, what is your profession, and do you like it?

I studied Graphic Design (or more like Digital Design in general I guess) and now I'm going through the five stages of finding out I actually graduated in Unemployment ...but hopefully I can steer my career towards Concept Art, Character Design, Visual Development, or just making illustrations and comics or something like that. I gotta keep telling myself that and maybe I can somehow survive off of that some day. -

Oof that was long. Kudos if you've made it to the end! I wouldn't imagine anyone reading past the headline on other social media sites, but the community here on Tumblr really is something special.
