I LOVE your clown design (and your rek design but that's not what this is about), do you think there is any way you could draw some clownzy art? I’m trying to get a friend of mine to watch them and they love your art style so I think it may help in the convincing process lol. No problem if not tho! Just think it would be really cool to see the 2 of them in your style!

omg thank u i'm glad you like them!! i'm not really interested in drawing clownzy though i'm sorry to say... but there's plenty of great fanart of them around so it'll probably work out for you i think LMAO wishing you luck!

[ar-mage-ddon]

as long as it's tricky, we got it!

[ar-mage-ddon]

I dont know if I asked this already (Im sorry if I did!) but would you ever draw SoRoku again?

the ship might've sailed on it i can't lie 😭 i mean never say never, if something happens with them in kh4 i might get interested again? but as it stands i'm pretty firmly fixated on something else at the moment so it's kinda ggs unfortunately

[ar-mage-ddon]

could you post brainplayer again bc i haven't seen you post in a little while? 🙏

i'm sorry anon i'm afraid they're sitting on the shelf for the time being... idk if you understand the sheer power of the demons that have possessed me over the past like 10 months 😭 maybe one day i'll revisit them but not anytime soon unfortunately

[ar-mage-ddon]

[ar-mage-ddon]

[ar-mage-ddon]

MAGE!!!

I just wanted to say that I've loved your art since around 2015?? Found you thru ships back then I don't think you've touched in ages hshdjsjsjjd

We used to be friends and then lost contact, and that's okay. But I just wanted to say thank you for all the amazing art for over 11 years now.

Always a supporter ♡♡

Oh, the question: what are your hyperfixation ships currently? owo

wdym it's been 11 years 😭😭 that's crazy... anyone who's stuck around for that long deserves an actual medal fr. thank u for the support!!

in terms of ships... ig i don't really have any currently bc i'm too fixated on minecraft atm LMAO but i Was literally thinking abt plain this morning so that probably counts

[ar-mage-ddon]

I mean if you did ever wanna make keychains ive seen a lot of people say wooacry, vograce and ACGGOODS are good quality and easy to use :)

nodding taking notes....... i'll think about it, the thought of having a shop lowkey stresses me out LMAO

[ar-mage-ddon]

Your rapier bugs art is so so cute and would be so cutie as keychains 🥹🫰

LOWKEY YOU'RE SO RIGHT...... unfortunately idk how to make keychains and i'm scared 😭

[ar-mage-ddon]

bugs

[ar-mage-ddon]

can you do like christmas themed brainplayer? for the sake of holidays? 🥺🙏

is it bad that this is genuinely all i could think to do. sorry LMAO

[ar-mage-ddon]

NO NO NO NO PLEASE TELL ME EVERYTHING !!! THROUGH TUMBLR ASKS THROUGH MESSAGES THROUGH DM ANYTHING YOU PREFER I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR IT I can't watch streams because my attention span is NADA but I love Rekrap so much so having a person who's seen all the streams is extremely exciting !!! HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH TRUST AND LOYALTY AND CONFIDENCE AND gosh. I'm sure you've seen the video where he returns to LIfesteal as a guest (before he really came back) and the ending of that video gives me Chills (but I think it's so fitting to who he is; someone who knows his place and acts within those perameters, honest to a fault but genuine in everything he does) I'm going to go insane about this guy

YOU HAVE NOOOOO IDEA HOW MUCH THAT VOID MOMENT LIVES IN MY HEAD AT ALL TIMES EVERY DAY . that actually ties in perfectly to his relationship with purpose (and death, tangentially) because every time he loses his purpose and can't find a new one, he just . Dies. he bans himself intentionally. it happened in s3 (he gets zam to kill him and he hides his other ten hearts for others to find), it happened in s5 (the mentioned void moment where he throws all his items and hearts onto the floor before jumping into the void), and it happened in s6 (albeit accidentally; he withdraws all his hearts and burns himself in front of woogie). the only season i'm not sure of is s2 purely because there's just no record; he's there fighting in the finale but he isn't with parrot spoke and vortex before they ban themselves so idk what happened to him. i can only pray it doesn't happen again this season because his team is wonderful and i would Cry

AND I'M GLAD YOU ENJOY MY RAMBLING...... I'VE BEEN GOING CRAZY ABT THIS GUY FOR MONTHS BUT I HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT IT AT ALL OUTSIDE DMS SO IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO HASKJDHKAW

[ar-mage-ddon]

YOU'RE SO RIGHT. I watched all of his S3 stuff, stealing an entire mountain? dropping ANVILS on people??? what are you, a toon???)and god, his PARANOIA. SENDING EMAILS SO HE DOESN'T GET CAUGHT?? watching his S6 and S7 stuff is knowing that he's not gotten better. he's gotten WORSE. Better at making it other people's problem. and he's also gotten much better at minecraft, with pvp and speedrunning and it's CRAZY HE DRIVES ME CRAZY?? It's so great to meet someone else who understands just how CRAZY THIS GUY IS. And how crazy he makes me. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.

RIGHTTTTT like i genuinely . okay i'm gonna be so real -- i missed his s7 streams so badly (wdym his most recent stream wasn't archived MY MOONLIGHT DUO) that i genuinely went to his s6 vods and watched every single one and just . the way he approaches pvp changed so much. he went from avoiding fights entirely in s3 (until the cleansing of course. for your own safety don't ask me how i feel about chaos faction) to jumping people at random purely for the sake of getting better at it in s6 . he tells derap and pangi that "if we're not teamed, i don't think you can ever fully trust me." he tells kab "i could try to kill you at any moment, just letting you know." the way he jumped mane knowing he was gonna die, getting coaching from flame...... if you haven't watched derap's video where he tried to join the sticklers you should because Oh My God the way rek acts in that genuinely drives me crazy

AND THEN OF COURSE THE BOMBSHELL THAT IS S7. WHAT DO YOU MEAN HIS EVOLUTION THROUGH THE SEASONS WAS HIM BEING AFRAID OF EVERYONE ELSE TO PEOPLE BEING AFRAID OF HIM (granted it's not that cut and dry but still). i could go on and on about this guy genuinely like don't even get me started on his relationships w death and purpose and trust and loyalty and and and andhwhasdkuawhd

[ar-mage-ddon]

I try to draw fanart for him when I can (even have an entire story/comic I want to draw/continue) but my other hyperfixations ruin me each time </3 but with the power of wanting to draw the craziest mfer in the mcyt world (debatable)... surely the rekrap nation will grow...

NO THAT'S SO FAIR...... we can all nurture the rekrap nation together......

[ar-mage-ddon]

YES YES YES MORE REK FANART !!!!!! HE DESERVS IT THANK YOU FOR THE FOOD !!

EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS TOO i was just overcome by such pure madness and desperation over the past three months that i Had to draw him because wdym hardly anyone draws rek 😭 actual travesty..... i will be happy to bring more food to the potluck

[ar-mage-ddon]

had the intense violent urge to draw tiny creatures today so i'm using this as an excuse to post my rekrap design yay yippee

[ar-mage-ddon]

May I ask if you have any advice on what canvas sizes to use? I'm always confused about that depending on whether I'm drawing a bust up Character/headshot, a half-body, full body or more detailed drawings with a landscape 😓

i don't really pay much attention to actual canvas sizes if i'm being completely honest KJHDKJAW

i always start on 3000x3000 and for doodles, however large i end up drawing on that is usually what i crop to. having a specific composition in mind will change whether that's more portrait or landscape but even then i don't look at the exact numbers

that does mess with the actual image preview quality when it gets posted, though, which i don't personally care about but if you do i recommend looking up image crop guides for that. that being said, portrait sizes tend to do better nowadays thanks to the whole vertical content thing, so if all else fails stick to sizes that are taller than they are wide
