lights over the city

I did watch it! it was fun and it managed to showcase each character's personality in such a short time as well!

(ps I got into tadc right around the same time I found your art so now all your tadc stuff is tied directly to the show in my brain, atp your fanart is basically canon in my head lmao. I think I actually found one of your human ver designs somewhere wayyy before I'd even heard about tadc but I remember seeing it cause I was like "who are these beautiful divas :O")

Hello! thank you so much! 💕 I'm flattered eheh

the thing is I don't exactly lineart? mostly I just do sketchy lines, then add the coloring and might clean up the lines further depending if I'm going for a more polished look! I never liked doing lineart but I fell into the habit of doing it since it streamlines comic coloring process, but even then it's the same couple of brushes I use for sketching

I draw in SAI so it's the default brush and an edit of the default brush but with more paper texture lool

I always keep the density at 80-90% since I want the lines to have less opacity and manually go over which parts I want to be more defined

in general if you want to do something adjacent to cell shading you can use bolder lines and 100% opacity, if you plan on doing softer shading or paint over, the lines just need to give the general idea bc they might end up edited or deleted later anyway

I don't know about any of the fancy settings, sorry 😭 tho I think there are brushes that respond well to pen pressure/line speed etc in procreate and CSP, but largely depends from your drawing method, they tend to be very texture-heavy brushes but I usually don't go there so I got no recs

thank you so much! :')

Or have you ever participated?

oh no it's just not my scene, sounds stressful and I'm almost always busy anyway 😅

How do you draw so consistently? How do you take the love for these shows and manage to turn it into the motivation to draw?

Or does it just- happen 😅

hey thank you so much! :')

I have motivation to draw because I fixate on stuff, if I'm not fixating on something I'm not drawing it, that doesn't mean I'm always motivated but even when I'm not I'm like.. used to drawing anyway, even when I can only get a single hour of it out of a day (common enough occurrence)

tadc? I'm satisfied with the ending, I mentioned in another post I just think it has less rewatch-ability than other eps due to mostly feeling like exposition but it got the job done!

as for theories I had prior to the finale, based on the poster alone I thought Jax was going to spiral and accidentally take over/merge code with the circus itself, so everyone was gonna be trapped/had to navigate a Jax hellscape pretty much (possibly with the other abstractions lurking around) and learn the backstory while going through doors, so that aspect was similar just more "high stakes" for everyone involved
