Thank you to the incredible @eurekq for drawing my little guys....... it means so much to me and they look so absolutely fantastic!!!! The tenderness of this.... 🥺 🥺 🥺

ayayayayaya!!!!!!!! long time no talking abt my shivering wet chihuahua of a girl...........

🍹: Does your OC have any funny anecdotes told about them?

oh there absolutely have to be. that time aya slipped on the snow and did a full flip before she fell on her face. that time aya leaned over to try and get a fallen stylus and fell into her classmates lap instead. that time aya tried to carry three boxes at once and dropped them all into the mud. you know how it is

🌽: How does this OC feel about acts of affection? What's their favourite act of affection, physical or emotional?

I LIKE MY DAIRY ISLANDER BIOLOGY... speculative biology has been an interest of mine for a very long time and it was fun to apply them to a batshit insane concept such as food people! anyway if brennan said he liked it then it can’t be all THAT bad. I cannot possibly fit all my worldbuilding images into one post so here’s a screenshot of the part of the canvas where I was putting all my thoughts down. I’ve still got a LOT of thoughts about vegetanians and meatlanders that I haven’t gotten around to drawing yet

commission for @eurekq of their pathfinder oc, jubilee!! 🥰🥰 thanks so much for commissioning me!!

Thanks for the ask!! I'm sorry if these aren't going to be super thrilling answers, but some stuff I just don't hear much or don't remember well. ^^;;

14. Any favorite motifs

Haha. Have you noticed. That I like angels. And birds. And wings. And radiant light. And feathers. Do you think that's noticeable in what I draw. Kingmaker has really spoiled me for these- there are so many legitimate reasons to draw them, and I still feel like I'm not doing enough here. At the least, I feel like there's a lot more that I could be doing thematically that I'm not. But I think it's telling that as soon as I started regularly drawing Not Kingmaker stuff I just kept going with the wings- sometimes for Real Reasons, and sometimes... not really. It's my natural state. And I will draw More Wings in the future. This is a promise. I will continue to think about them and hopefully do more interesting and thoughtful things with them, haha.

And I also of course love flowers... I'm not a flower language knower, but I looooove drawing flowers and floral motifs.

25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by

Last summer while recovering from surgery I took an actual real figure drawing class, like in a real studio downtown with real people and real models. I had a lot of trouble adapting to the materials, the scale of the drawings (big...), and the idea of shading as one of the earliest parts of a sketch. I remember speaking to the instructor after class once about having trouble, and he was pretty nice about stuff even if it didn't help me all that much except to reduce the stress a little. But in that conversation I remember him saying my art (of which he had only seen the model drawings) had a comic book quality. That really surprised me, especially considering the context! I was trying very hard to do realism the best I could there, and besides that I have just never spent a lot of time with American comic books. Even the artists in that sphere who have styles I find really compelling and want to learn from are just not in my mind when I draw almost ever, and they certainly weren't when I was trying to sketch the model! It was interesting to hear though- one way or another, the graphic background I do have comes through that strongly both in how I interpret things into work that's not meant to be stylized and in how I work. I guess it stood out for better or worse that I leaned so heavily on lines ^^;;

26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended

I remember back in 2021 I did this sketch of Nyrissa and Tristian (I swear it is in fact from 2021 despite the post date. my art was slightly better and definitely more accurate to the game in 2022.) where Nyrissa had a hand under Tristian's chin, forcing Tristian to look her in the eyes. I don't really remember what was on my mind drawing that. I think consciously I was just looking for a typical domineering villain pose that seemed fun to draw- I like the idea of the power dynamic between them and I was interested in how that relationship had shaped the Tristian we see in game. Just doing a little thing to put that master/servant dynamic on paper was satisfying for me. Of course, the second I showed it to other people all the responses were like "this is so horny. you can't show me an image this horny." or "this is so horny, I don't know who I want to be." And at the start I think I was always like "noooooo it's super normal!! it's not horny at all!!!" But I think deep down it probably was a horny drawing, whether I did that consciously or not... And I've definitely leaned into that Vibe since then when I draw them together, haha.
