Looking for 15 more followers on BLUESKY! Going to be doing a max detail free drawing raffle. I hit a milestone on Xitter so I'll do two drawings! (NSFW content, don't follow if a minor)

Do data programs dream of electric bats?
Going live with a brand new TCG Simulator Playthrough!
Hey I hope you know I love your art. Your RikuRoku Stuff and your adorable thing of Riku and Repliku in the komory bat hoodies. I just love your art style and colours. I hope life is nicer to you. I know some are loud and rude...but I hope you know that some of us love you and think you're wonderful
Thank you, sweety. Life has been pretty alright, as good as mediocrity can be haha. I do still love KH, especially Rikuroku! I still talk about them on my server often. I don't think I'd leave the fandom for good but rest and recovery has done wonders.
Might even have something new in the pipeline...

REMINDER!
I'm currently way more active over on Bluesky, where I've posted all of my KH works, even the stuff I only had on my private account. Due to personal reasons, I'm still on a sort of KH-fandom hiatus that I hope to return from.
I essentially lost all my friend from the fandom and had awful times in Discord servers. I lost a place I once called 'home' and I've been trying to recover from it slowly. Fandom's lonely when there's nobody to talk to or with lol
That said, I implore you to follow my Bluesky account! It's still Ignightroad.
Hey yall I'm not very active here anymore. I still love KH but I'm having more fun in another fandom atm. You can find me over on @chainslobber (also on Twitter)
artist tips
don’t save as jpeg
as a former yearbook editor and designer, let me explain this further
if youre only planning on posting your art online, them please save it as .png ;this is also better for transparencies as well
BUT
please, if youre planning of printing your art, NEVER use png. it makes the quality of the image pretty shitty. use jpeg or pdf instead. and always set your work at 300dpi to get a better printing quality - this means, the images are crisper and sharper and theres no slight blurriness. i had a talk with my friend who is currently taking design, and pdf is much better to use when youre working with a bigger publishing company because it still has the layers intact, but if youre only planning on printing your stuff at staples or at some small publishing store, the jpeg is the way to go.
this has been a public service announcement
I’ve replied to this once before but I see it’s doing the rounds again.
This is all utter bullshit.
I’m sorry but if your qualification is working on the school yearbook, you have no qualifications. Do not pretend otherwise. As a former professional photo manipulator for advertising brochures, I can say that you’re not comparing apples to oranges here - if anything, you’re comparing fruit to farmyard machinery:
JPEG is a lossy format. It is suitable for web imagery because it sacrifices detail for reduced file sizes, but in doing so it introduces artifacts that weren’t in the original; if you load a JPEG for editing, then save it as a different JPEG, then you’re adding more artifacts formed from those first artifacts. Do this often enough and you end up with a horrid glitchy mess that looks like a puddle’s reflection after a stone’s been thrown in. You’ve seen those memes that have 3 or 4 different “found at” tags along the bottom, that look like fingerpainted copies of the original? That’s why.
PNG is a lossless format that comes in two primary flavours, PNG-8 and PNG-24, which use 8 and 24 bit colour respectively. 8-bit colour is what you have in GIFs, a limit of just 256 different colours in a predetermined palette, usually automatically chosen by your software when saving. These files will look the same as GIFs, potentially with large patches of solid colour instead of the usual gradual shading seen in 24-bit imagery. This is usually better for small banners or pixel art, as it can yield smaller filesizes than GIF format. (There is an animated version called MNG but it has very little web support, hence the continued use of GIFs.)
PNG-24 is great for larger images where detail is as important as colour depth, as well as printable RGB images and (if supported by the client) full colour images with gradient transparencies. It most certainly does not make “the quality of the image pretty shitty,” as it preserves every nuance. File sizes can be smaller than JPEG for small images, or significantly larger for large images.
PDF is a container file, whatever you put into it will be pretty much preserved as it was, so you gain nothing but lose nothing.
TIFF is what you need to be using for archival or print-quality imagery. It has support for multiple layers, multiple colour channels (RGB as well as CMYK, which is essential for accurate print rendering), and everything is preserved exactly as it was seen on-screen when being composed. There are compressed versions available, they use similar methods to PNG in order to maintain detail without sacrifice; next to whatever your graphics program uses natively, this is the most interchangeable format available for professional use.
DPI is important only when used in combination with image dimensions; in and of itself it serves no purpose. If you make a brilliantly detailed 640x480 image & set it to 300dpi, you’ll receive a brilliantly detailed 2 inch x 1.6 inch print. This is great if you want to make a postage stamp, but not if you’re creating an A4 flyer! Determine the image’s dimension then set the DPI accordingly; 72dpi isn’t hideous especially for text-heavy work (it’s ~3 pixels per millimeter), and 150dpi can be suitable for many images. Unless you’re interested in photo realism, 300dpi is usually overkill - for our hypothetical A4 flyer, you’d need a file of 2490x3510 pixels for edge to edge printing, with a correspondingly high memory requirement and filesize even if using a compressed format.
Keeping the layers intact is utterly unimportant for print work unless you want to use a separated colour print method that requires multiple passes to lay down each ink. If you send a file with all the layers, masks, etc. off for printing you’re liable to get it sent back unactioned, as they won’t want to take responsibility for choosing the wrong elements for printing. Save your work with everything intact, then save a flattened copy especially for printing purposes - this is one of the reasons Save Copy As… is a common option in graphics manipulation software.
This has been a Public Service Rebuttal.
Reblogging just because I read that first one when it was going around yesterday I was thinking “Thats utter horseshit but I don’t know my stuff well enough to articulate why” so THANK YOU.

holy shit posting this here because i had no idea there was an actual difference
reasons why you should contemplate writing dark content:
no one wants to plagiarize it because it will get them cancelled
no one will rec it on tiktok because it will get them cancelled
if someone is brave enough to rec it on tiktok it will not go viral because it is so unsettling and unpopular
something something exploring the darkest parts of human psychology something something transgressive narratives. who cares about this one
easy life hack for becoming a nicer person: get older and more tired. u simply do not have the energy to deal with drama. u do not entertain the bloodthirsty. don't care too sleeby
conversely, as u get older and more tired, your tolerance for bullshit goes down the drain. u do not have the energy to deal with it. it does not belong. get out. I will not dance around and politely shoo the drama out with a feathery broom I will send a bulldozer at 80 mph
what I'm saying is as you age you walk more and more softly and carry a bigger and bigger stick. this is why the elderly are so powerful btw
Gonna be selling some Riku prints in June, keep an eye out!

You do NOT need to pledge to me on Patreon; however, you DO need to follow the account in order to leave comments. Not sure why that is when it's set to public but that's not something I can control.
Depending on subject matter, I may not be able to post it publicly but I AM taking NSFW requests as well. If folks want to see me draw something or someone from KH (or other fandoms too!) please be sure to comment ASAP. Closing for requests on the 12th.

(If for whatever reason this doesn't work, you can send me a Tumblr ask!)
Hello! Are there any Rikuroku servers out there by chance? I was in one a bit ago but it seems like I wasn't a good fit for it. I have a few WIPs and such and I'd really like to get back into working on them, but it feels like I'm at my most motivated when people are excited for what I can draw lol
I don't mind joining a rarepair server if I need to, I just don't know if there's any specifically RR servers out there that have room for me.
