Hi!! Wanted to submit 4, 21, 26 for the artist ask game?

Love ur style so much btw I so enjoy getting to see what you share!!

(specific artist asks)

thankyou so much!!

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

dick grayson idk why you make me want to jump a bridge but you DO!!!!

also if i overthink the curvature of a spine from a side view/how arms attach to a body there's an 85% chance i trash the piece.

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

OH GOSH THERE ARE SO MANY... i know it's not asking me to point out specific artists but @/theoldkyokodied, @/vetyr and @/valentinemichaelsmith all have some insanely cool art!!!

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

HMMM i'm not sure if it counts but some of my more popular night watch pieces have been tagged j*yroy or j*ydick which is more mildly amusing to me than anything lol #propaganda

9, 20, and 30 for the artist ask game pleaseeee :))

(specific artist asks)

hiiii dearest<3<3

9. What are your file name conventions

absolute bullshit ngl. i used to be REALLY bad and name them like "fdgbdigds" but now i have upgraded to naming them real things that still don't tell me what is actually in that file so if i need to pull references i have to go through my most recent files list one by one. and apparently i'm still keysmashing heyooooo

20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy

horses LOL but honestly i'm not sure what is a universal "difficult to draw" thing!! i have had to LEARN to enjoy drawing hands and sometimes i still don't. dress shoes/boots maybe??

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

i can understand why most of my art doesn't take off and it's because it's very very niche WHICH IS FINE!! i prefer to make stuff EYE am enjoying -- however, i do like this jason piece i did a lot.

Weirdly Specific Artist Ask Game

Didn't see a lot of artist ask games, wanted to make a silly one.

3. What ideas come from when you were little

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

would hockey jtodd use pride tape

i think jtodd would use it on pride night or as a statement of solidarity (pre-coming out and after) whenever the fuckass national hockey league says some dumb stuff re:lgbt issues but as a standard gameday practice, probably not. he strikes me as a classic ole white tape kind of guy and it's very hard to break out of your Routines and Superstitions as a hockey player.

But the mountains have been here long before Wayne Tower ever existed — will be here long after it's gone. Jason had felt the same way approaching the Tetons at fourteen, the sharp peaks of Great Teton and Owen and Teewinot crawling towards the heavens as Dick drove them towards the Grand Targhee. He'd never seen anything like it before. The space was too open, too wide; the carsickness of Dick's driving habits certainly hadn't helped his apprehension of one of Earth's greatest phenomena.
