Opps forced me to have a profile 😔

Also what kinds of plots immediately get you hooked on a story?

Oh god hard to say. Pokémon as a whole for sure. The blocky and simple, athleisure fashion is something that pops um in my work a lot. Ken Sugimori's older work is something that inspires me a lot. I love how small and chunky and effectively simple it is

take is another artist who I became familiar with after seeing her work on Pokémon SWSH. Her work is pretty different from Ken's (very colorful and sleek) but it's still very simple in a way that doesn't feel under-designed. She puts detail in very unique places that really help each character stand out from each other. I aspire to color like this and I also feel like I draw people with similar proportions

Jenn Strickland ( @jennerallydrawing ) isn't a character designer (i think, i know them as a board artist and director) but their character work is everything I wish my work was. Effortlessly expressive and fun but super simple in the best way. I do think their work as a board artist really informs how they design because every design they've done looks so easy and fun to draw (a board artist's dream). The stark black they use is something I use in my own work and it also has a sleek but chunky quality to it that's really satisfying

Awuradwoa Afful's (@/rajieee) work is perfecttt. Simple, blocky, understated but fun. I love how she handles fashion and clothing as well. But most of all, she simplifies black hairstyles in a really nice way! I wish I had this much style

REUNITE THIS FAMILY DC!

*prints this out and puts it onto a billboard to go in front of dc headquarters*

fucking fix this shit, dc. you broke apart a canonly gay couple who got married in 2002 and adopted their daughter, jenny quantum, in a way that changed history of comics. you get your hands on them and you break them apart.

you break the husbands apart, the family apart. you take away the team. you mischaracterize both of them so greatly to the point that the version i see now isn't the one that was.

and y'know what? the only ones to get them in recent comics have been steve orlando and josh trujillo. no one else!

so fine. they'll do things like superman and the authority, stormwatch vol3 and grayson. you'll have m and nightwing flirt for no fucking reason when the old m? the old m would've never done that. would've never done a lot of the things he did in that breakup arc.

reunite them dc. better yet? just reset everything again. this isn't the only area you fucked with. characters both popular and not have become shells of what they once were. maybe try better next time.

this meme template was made for these two lovely gay bastards!

apollo: *just existing*

put whoever you want here: *jaw dropping, looking at apollo with practical heart eyes* wow..

midnighter: that's right, i toted that titan. *he's saying it wrong on purpose, looking down at jenny with a smirk*

jenny quantum: *standing in front of her parents, who are working together on knitting a scarf* dad one and dad two, i have an idea!

apollo: *stops what he's doing to give his daughter his whole attention* yes, starlight? *he ignores m's grumbles of 'which of us is number one?' right beside him*

jenny quantum: you should take the last name you gave me as yours! neither of you have any, and would make sense cause you're my dads'. *holds out a drawing*

apollo: *he gingerly takes the drawing, which is a family portrait she drew herself that has 'the quantum's' written at the bottom of the page* the quantum's, huh? *he's smiling ear to ear, halo growing brighter*

midnighter: midnighter quantum, apollo quantum, and jennifer quantum... what're we, the jetsons? *he sounds like he's complaining but his smirk contradicts himself*

jenny quantum: *she rolls her eyes, a small smile on her face* it's better than your silly undercover names. andrew pulaski and lucas trent.. this is an upgrade!

apollo: *a hand moves to cover over his mouth as he lets out a short snort laugh, the other hand delicately holding the drawing* i think it's an idea we can all definitely sit down and talk about together, jenny love.

midnighter: *lets out a long purposefully dramatic groan as he gathers up the knitting to be put away, grabbing jenny to have her sit in the gap between them both* fine, i'll think about it. *he will not, he knows he's already lost.*

apollo: *gathers them both in his arms, laughing loud as he knows they've already won him over on it*

jenny quantum: *wiggles in the embrace so she can free her arms and hold them both up to the sky triumphantly* we are the flying quantum's! ice cream for dinner, i say!

apollo and midnighter: *in unison* no.
