long time lurker first time asker, you are an absolute inspiration to me. I'm new to the tadc fandom, and your work is part of what inspired me to start drawing fanart for tadc in the first place.
even now, I'm still coming across your pieces and going, 'woah, that was fruitysticker'?
Even on twitter, when I made that account I was finding your work and putting the pieces together that that was you, too.
I love the way you draw Pomni specifically. I have trouble sticking to a consistent art style, and she looks different every time I draw her, haha. I love the way you draw hands, and the way your poses flow and aren't ever stiff or awkward, your colour choices, and the fact that your work gets a real emotional response out of me. Whether it's something more profound, or just feeling what the characters are, it's an emotional response nonetheless. I envy how you're able to do that, and when I draw I have your art in mind, and your colour and posing choices, etc. etc.
We are mutuals (!!!) but we've never interacted with each other any more than just liking each other's posts. Regardless, I've been so grateful for how much support I've gotten from Tumblr and other tadc artists, you included. It's one of the most open, welcoming online spaces I've ever been in.
I hope you, your art, and your art process are forever filled with joy and passion. Your style is so expressive, I think I may notice if it wasn't!
thank you for your message!!!!!!!!!
i am also very new to the fandom, all things considered! i watched the pilot when it came out, and every episode along the way, but just causally! then after ep 6, jax and pomni’s fight activated me like a sleeper agent and i’ve been reading fics, joining communities, talking with people, and drawing, of course, like crazy. it’s been so fun and everyone has been a level of kind i could not have possibly anticipated.
ykno what’s funny i feel like /i/ never draw them the same anytime i draw them either. not that you asked, and it’s just my opinion, but i see a lot of worrying over sticking to a style and i want to say: do whatever you want. your touch will shine through whatever you do, and you might find something fun while being more experimental.
there’s a lot of ways to get better at art, but one of my favorites is collecting cool artists around me, and siphoning off their minds like a leech. so thank YOU for existing and putting your art out there and being part of that; it’s no easy thing.
i am very flattered by your compliments! kind messages like this are folded up and tucked straight into my heart 💌
one weird posed, hand centric, rough sketch pulled out of my backlog, for you:
falling through the air while holding each other’s faces? sure why not
i don’t know how to end this so THANK YOU ❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷
