I didnt have much money (poor life lmao) but I got a few things at Sunnycon! My fave piece is of course the commission of Sakae I got from @awkwardbex (who is sooo lovely and also a fellow FFXIV nerd) but I also saw sooo many moogle stuff that I wanted! There were actually some official ffxiv charms I saw but they were very small and VERY expensive so I couldnt afford :’( But my list of loot is D.VA/Tracer/Pharah prints, a Star Guardian Ahri keychain, Moogle sticker & badge, Kero badge, a Splatoon sticker and a Moira sticker! I’m trying to find all the business cards to credit the artists but they got mixed up and some lost in my bag i think ;A;

Eeeee it was so nice to meet you!!! 💜 I'm so glad you liked your commission as I had so much fun with it. Thank you so much for supporting my work! Sakae is adorable!

Decided I'm gonna go as a super casual Cindy for @kupocon next week, as I will be behind a table selling most of the day & I happened to have the wig lying around! Not been able to get the hat in time so I'll need to find a suitable one in my local town that'll go with the shirt :3🌸can't wait to see everyone there!! ❤️ "So, how about the decals?" #cindyaurum #finalfantasyxv #casualcosplay #kupoconen #kupocon #pominghampalace

Hi! Huge fan of your work, what kind of drawing tablet (or just what software) do you use to draw? Do you have any recommendations for a beginner comic artist?

Hello! Thanks for your kind words! ❤️ I use an old intuos 4 Wacom tablet to draw my digital work, and I use both a mixture of Paint tool SAI & Clip Studio to create my work :) for comics I also use a little photoshop for panelling & text bubbles but you can easily do it using CS too :)As for tips, the main one is to practise practise practise! If there is one particular thing you struggle with, keep drawing it over & over (using reference is a great learning habit) until you feel more confident with it! Don't be afraid to ask for criticism from other artists to help you work out those kinks. Also there are tons of tutorials online that can help you too!The important rule however, is to have fun. It's good to work hard, but draw what you love & enjoy otherwise it becomes more of a chore than anything else. :) & try not to compare yourself to other artists. It's difficult, but you are you, you're own special person :) all those artists were beginners too at one point. Hope that helps!!
