Just a heads up that I’m more active on twitter these days! My @ on there is shylittleghost. I’d love to follow more folks so if you post JJBA, art, or other cool stuff hmu.

I’m trying to Art more; this was the first large watercolor piece I’ve done in ages!

How did you come to watch JoJo, if anime is not your thing?

I do pick up new anime series every now and then! I’m just awful at finishing them (I am very determined to finish Evangelion at some point!). Jojo just happened to become a hyperfixation, like most of my other special interests  usually do at some point.

[honey-nut-doppios]

Do you or did you watch a lot of anime growing up? What about manga?

To be honest I haven’t watched a whole lot of anime or read a lot of manga period. I have a very short attention span and that makes it hard for me to get into series/tv shows ^_^; I did grow up with all the Ghibli films though!

It felt like a nice day to draw some summery beach-themed Yasuho!

Long time no see! AO3 seems to be having issues with images right now so I added links below all the images. If the pictures don’t load, try clicking those!

I really like your fics. How long have you been writing or when did you first start writing? Did you write or read a lot as a kid? I always wonder when people discover a passion for what they do.

Howdy anon! I’ve been writing since I was a wee bab. Before I learned the alphabet I used to make these little illustrated booklets of squiggly scribbles I thought looked like cursive and I would “read” them to my parents lol

I used to read a lot as a kid too but nowadays it takes me months to finish a book x_x I’m convinced middle schoolers have supernatural reading abilities that disappear when you turn 18.

I tried to do something Shojo-inspired and it didn’t really work (I know I butchered the eyes and their positioning u_u) but hey.

[honey-nut-doppios]

Illustrations from chapter 7!

Also I’m doing that draw 6 characters meme thing on twitter so go suggest some characters for me to draw :)

Sorry for taking so long on this chapter + slacking on comment replies the past few months! I'm really grateful to everyone who's been reading along. I've been depressed on an off the past few months; I'm sure it's a weird time right now for everyone. I hope you are all safe and well <3

I'm really fascinated by 'Ship of Theseus', thank you so much for writing it. May I translate it to Russian? Of course I'll leave all the credits :)

Hi anon! You are welcome to translate any of my works as long as you include a link to the original ☺️

A Stray Cat based on a Twitter request ^_^

The latest chapter of the Nautilus is up! I’m not bothering to wait a week this time before posting the illustration as you can tell because this one is a cover pic :D

[honey-nut-doppios]

Long time no see! I asked twitter what Jojo to draw and the answer was this dude.

[honey-nut-doppios]

Nautilus chapter 5 illustrations. The smoke cloud was fun to do in inks! 

(Don’t do drugs kidz!)

What do you use for your art? I can't tell if digital or traditional or a mix of both? Do you have any tips on how to get started as a new artist?

Hi anon! While I’ve posted a handful of digital works in the past, I mostly do traditional art! My colored stuff is in watercolor (with white ink for highlights and watercolor pencils for outlining), and my black and white stuff is a combination of micron fine-liners + inking nibs.

I don’t really consider myself much of an artist since I rarely draw anymore, but some of the best artists I know draw a LOT. Filling up entire sketchbooks, etc. They also draw a variety of things, drawing on references for various studies like composition, anatomy, dynamic poses, lighting, animals, objects, etc. Like with anything, you get better with practice (which I need to do more often haha). I like watching youtube videos because it’s helpful for providing insight into how other artists draw -- stuff like breaking down a reference, deciding on composition, layering colors... also it’s relaxing to watch!
