complimenting japanese artists
There are plenty of templates for asking permission from Japanese artists on pixiv and twitter to repost their fanworks, but almost none about how to compliment their art and let them know their work is appreciated, so I thought I’d put together a few stock phrases you can use to let an artist know you think their work is great!!
ああああ = “aaaaaaa/ahhhhh” (use as many あ as u feel like ahaha)
_____さんの絵が大好きです！ = “i love your art!” (use artist’s name in blank, usually in only japanese characters, for example ▲むっこ▲スパコミ レ57b on twitter’s name is just むっこ, ignore anything after an “@”）
_____は可愛すぎますよ～！ = “____ is too cute~!” (insert ship or character name, you can get their name in japanese on their wiki pages or myanimelist, check their pixiv to see what their art is tagged with to find the ship’s name in japanese if you don’t already know it, or you can replace with (artist name)さんの絵 to say the artist’s art is too cute)
(きれいな/可愛い/素晴らしい)絵をいつも描いてくれてありがとうございます！ = “thank you for always drawing pretty/cute/amazing art!” (pick ONE adjective)
_____さんの絵は凄く(可愛い/かっこいい/素晴らしい)ですねえ！= “your art is REALLY cute/cool/amazing!” (pick ONE adjective)
_____さんの絵最高です！/____最高です！= “your art is the best!” / “(character/ship) is the best!”
feel free to use as many exclamation points, hearts ♡♡♡, and kaomoji as you feel like in between sentences!
also for sentence enders, i just included a few random ones but feel free to exchange よ/ねえ as much as you like, but it’s kinda weird to use them at the end of every sentence. its also weird if you use the same one at the end all your sentences. also just a generic “～" at the end is good too!
if you have any questions on how to say something else, or if you think there’s an important phrase i missed, or you kinda want to know what the artist said in reply to your compliment, let me know!
[edit]: thanks to toukochu for pointing out it should be 描いてくれてありがとうございます instead of 描いてありがとうございます and that the は particle was unnecessary for 最高です！
