Poltergeist

do not be afraid.

That sounds a bit confusing- basically, I wanna know how you made the clouds and fire here look painted and blocky

Thank you :) Your art is beautiful!

ok this is a tough question, not because i have opinions about sharing brushes or anything... i just tend to cycle my brushes around and forget which ones i use for which. BUT as best as i can recall i mostly used this clip studio paint set for this (you can look it up by ID, 2094247):

the blockiness comes from liberal use of the lasso tool (mostly on the fire) and magic wand tool (for the clouds).

i distinctly remember having trouble grouping the light and dark values on the clouds so i let the magic wand tool decide which parts were gonna be the shadows by creating a selection for it, and i did the same for the light.
