#chromacryptid

thank you so much :) i have a lot of fun making each of the egos unique, but wil and dark are my absolute favs in terms of their differences. heres some more of them!

I FEEL YOU I REALLY DO. Holding your shoulders as well. I’m not really an Author to Host believer but I do think they are connected.

Theory 1 is that The Host created the Author to be an extension of self, an OC, one that is able to freely interact with his surroundings without consequence. The Author is the only human being The Host has been able to create or control. Basically; Danger in Fiction was The Host doing a trial run of his special little OC interacting with a real person.

Theory 2 Is that the author was hit by a flying pickle which exploded both his eyes /J

Theory 3 is that The Author is simply an intern/trainee working with the Host. Watching and learning how The Host sets fiction into reality in the hopes he’ll be a bestselling writer someday. Helps out the Host with his radio show here and there.

Some little headcanons of mine..

-I believe The Host hasn’t lost his eyes completely, but is visually impaired from Hypertension.

-He has haemolacria, a real condition of lesser known origin which causes the person to have blood mixed in their tears.

-Partial wheelchair user. Dr. Iplier or The Author will be asked to assist if needed.

-The Author is a self taught writer up until he is taken in by The Host. They have the same sense of humour.

-The Author has a big liking for horror and crime books. Even comic books.

I can’t lie I really do feel for you. I’ve been taking my little breaks of course.. it’s a lot to start unlearning. The main reason I’ve started to post is so that I don’t judge myself too harshly, and I hope others can learn the same. There will always be someone on the planet that loves what you do.

With valentines asks I made most of them quick and simple by just being an above shoulder doodle. I can smash them out without worrying much.

You may notice with a lot of my art I don’t exactly take the time to erase all my mistakes / guidelines, my sketches are usually pretty quick. I don’t do line art, I have one layer, and if it looks good after a little bit of tidying up it’s what I consider finished at the moment.

I don’t pressure myself to make things “perfect” and “finished” exactly. Things don’t have to be perfect to be enjoyable and I try to keep that in mind.

Sometimes I get down about how my art looks rough and “unfinished” but then I remember I’m the only one making the art the way that I am. I am in my own lane, it has never been a contest.

I’ve always been a pencil and paper artist but since I’ve gotten an ipad and a stylus it’s always been the same process. Colouring is just a quick dash or two since I personally prefer doing black and white stuff.

If I ever feel doubtful of what I make I step back and listen to some good music. If I’m not feeling inspired or nothing looks good then I leave it for the next day. Sometimes things look better when you give it a day and a second take.

I wish I had something more meaningful and wisdomly to share, but keep in mind asks are optional. The deadlines are not real. Nobody expects you to be on time. Better late than never. Time’s a construct. And most importantly: if you’re not having fun with it, it may not be the right time to tackle it just yet. If you do not feel good about yourself, you will not feel good about what you create.
