HELLOOOOO!!! I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY MY FAVORITE ARTIST!! I love the way you draw and watching your art gives me an immense inspiration.
1. Would you consider uploading your drawing and coloring process?
2. Do you have any recommendations for beginners??
3. Are there any specific exercises you made to improve anatomy?
I think that's all, and I hope you keep feeding us with your precious works (*^ω^)
thank you so very much <3 aw i'm so glad to hear that.
i upload timelapses to my patreon sometimes, along with a detailed look into my process
i unfortunately don't know how to answer this when people come to me with this question. maybe i'd say to focus on the fundamentals, even if it seems boring, instead of trying to skip way too many steps and copy other artists that you admire. learning instead of simply making something look good is very very important.
no specific exercises, just a lotta practice and observing. it also helps to have a gross fascination with the human body (😅)
What is it you crave for which stems your desire to express yourself? Why do you find the desire to share with others?
Happiness (atleast to my knowledge) can be achieved by solving problems in your life.
From your statement, you say knowing people out there enjoy your art thus do you feel belonging? Acceptance? And so, do you want these? If these give you happiness, does that thereby mean those were problems in your life?
Do you feel that you avoid identifying, labeling your emotions? Do you avoid sadness? Why?
Thank you for your last answers by the way, it's well articulated, much more so than short answers I've received from others. It seems you may be introspective or caring enough to answer with thought (^_^) I look forward to your next response, could you not is fine as well.
I'd like to ask you deeper questions but all are too repetitive and shallow. There must be some way to ask in understanding of others with more efficiency and intrigue, would you say art can do so? The way others interpret art? What others choose to make? You don't have to answer, I do realise these questions can be monotonous and vague (especially tiresome.) Have a good day!!
i think to summarize what i think about art and creativity, instead of being redundant everyone should check out what ethan hawkes had to say about it. what a great guy. i go back to this video whenever i need to remind myself why it matters so much, both to me and to the world.
hm, i don't think happiness is something that can be categorized like that. everyone has a different journey no matter how small with finding happiness. i think what i feel by solving problems in my life more closely relate to relief. i don't think the things i overcome to achieve happiness are problems per se, that seems rather pessimistic.
i don't think i go out of my way to avoid emotions but moreso that i'm so used to having my primary outlet for it be art that i now find myself stunted in any other way of expression, haha. though i've gotten a little better, even now i'm probably the most inexpressive person i know.
and thank you! it was a very thought-provoking question and i gained a slightly deeper connection with art while writing my response. and yes, i do think that art can bring forth some of the most intriguing questions and open up paths for so many more. whether art or not though, in the end i suppose it's all in the hands of the receiver and their willingness to participate in meaningful conversation. people do love to talk about themselves though, so if you're looking to extract some sort of information out of them i'd go with asking for personal experiences that relate to the main question you'd like to ask rather than opening with something a little too overtly philosophical. i know that lots may find that daunting.
What makes you happy? Everyday, the choices you make, the choice to pursue art, and for what? What is it about art that makes you happy? That you continue to draw.
The music you listen to, the bands you enjoy, what do they mean to you? Why have passion?
I love your work so much, especially your most recent animation. I'm curious to know what gets you going in the morning, what incentivizes you to continue. What your outlook is on the world. what truly matters to you and why.
(Totally fine if you find this intrusive btw)
what a loaded set of questions. it's making me think because while i passively know all of these things in my heart, when i'm prompted to answer them, i'm underprepared.
hmm... music and art doesn't always have to be super dramatic and packed with meaning because i do enjoy my fun slop too, but i'll brush past that and be as earnest about is as i can.
i do wonder what makes me happy sometimes, because the things that conventionally make people happy often don't do it for me. like nice weather, having a good day, romantic sexual or social validation, material goods, etc. it's conflicting because these widely enjoyed things feel dull to me but i also feel things deeper than i should. i guess i enjoy feeling clean and well-rested, or when my coffee is good, but i'm unsure if that would be substantial enough for "happy". i guess writing this down is making me realize that what i loosely identify as happiness in my life might just be pleasure, which sounds more fleeting than the better consistency that happiness suggests. hmm, the people very close to me make me happy, and you all appreciating my art of course also makes me happy.
i've always been a little bad at identifying what i feel, which i guess is why art speaks to me on such an intimate level. so i guess that makes me happier too. i don't have to say or identify anything when i express an idea through art. i feel this or i think that, bla bla... i'm in love with the idea of making someone understand what was thought or felt without overexplaining. a person could go their whole lives not understanding a certain perspective, but one piece of art could make them feel it whole with just one exposure. and in times of struggle, there's always art - the way humans naturally fall back to art every time i think is so beautiful, because it's rebellious without the violence. and it's not just exclusive to the creator, the audience and their interpretations are no less a part of the art than the artist, and the feeling induced from the art is individualized unique to every person. it has the ability to not reduce people to just a demographic to please. wow... isn't that scarily intimate?
why have passion... i always saw no reason to not have passion that i never thought about that. i think that the world would be horribly depressing without passion. the bands and the music i like make me feel something like how i described art just before. plus, it's three mediums of art combined into one: sound, visuals on the album, poetry in the lyrics... ugh, perfection. at concerts, the people are all unified by one thing they love in that one space, overwhelming all of their senses. it sounds dramatic but to me it seems true, even to people that don't give it much thought and enjoy it just for the fun of it. it would of course be a little vapid if it was, say... a beebadoobee concert... or whatever (no offense) because i kind of find music like hers deafeningly boring, but if love and artistry is combined into music then it can make some seriously breathtaking stuff. i guess that's why passion matters, because it's infectious and can inspire and motivate people, with there being kind of a proven fact of people getting all suicidal with lack of purpose. i dunno, passion might be the cure-all and the lack of it might leave a person chasing something indescribable for the rest of their life.
my outlook on the world i think might be a little naive sometimes. i assume the best in people by default and feel sad on behalf of the world. i feel sad for the less fortunate, i feel sad for people that aren't able to pursue their dreams just as vivid as mine, i feel sad for people that like me, i feel sad for the things that live life at all. sometimes i feel like we're all just scared little animals not knowing what to do and i want i guess for people to feel not so dreadful. my one goal is that, i hope that people will look at or find my art, even if in the distant future, and realize that they aren't alone and never have been, and that things are okay.
it means a lot to me that you like my work and seem to give it so much thought. WITH all of this said, i do feel like my art currently is severely underexplored... i give it so much meaning yet here i am drawing silly characters instead of something more moving, but i do find myself scared to do that at times. it feels a little too vulnerable 👀 but one day i will.
thank you for this question, there's still a lot unsaid even after this long-winded response but i enjoyed answering it
Hey there, I just wanted to say I love love LOOOOVE your style so much. It's so aesthetically pleasing and whenever you have new works uploaded I'm so happy.
I did have a question which I can't seem to find any answers for online(?). Do you still use wet wash & soft bleed on csp for colour? I find it lags on CSP and I'm not sure what's wrong.
Also what are you hyperfixating on recently?
(Sorry if boring questions ;;)
thank you! i'm so happy people look forward to my uploads, it really does keep me going. and yes, i still do use those same pens for my art.
as for the wet wash, yes it sadly does lag and it used to take me ages to colour for that reason. but i found a solution through reddit here. it runs so much smoother and doesn't lag 🫶 the drive link is in the comments.
hmm i wouldn't say i'm fixated on this but recently i did enjoy watching the boys finale. i do have some criticisms because i feel like they mapped out only the plot points and gave little thought to what actually leads up to them, but i did think anything that needs to happen happened which is something i guess. they also definitely bullshitted their way into making a prequel and i dislike how they handled certain characters but eh, it was enjoyable in the long run
hi!!! i hope you don't mind me asking what program(s) do you use to make your animatics? they are super impressive and i keep rewatching them especially eirin clinic and chop suey <33
thank you! and of course, i don't mind at all ☺ i use clip studio paint (currently v.5.5.5) for the drawing, after effects 2023 for editing, and media encoder for rendering. i usually have all my technical info up to date in my carrd info page.
hellooo :+D your art is so so beautiful i absolutely love your style. i love the way you draw lashes and faces, everything feels so elegant and beautiful and the way you draw faces is so expressive ! !:+0 it feels kind of nostalgic to me and im not sure why haha :+3 i was wondering if you have any inspirations for your current style? ty for ur time!!
you don't know what it means for me to hear that... i'm so moved. i'm not sure if i have any specific artists that have had a direct/apparent influence on my art, but i am super inspired by hirohiko araki and yoshiyuki sadamoto. been meaning to get around to using copics cus of that.
in general i have a wide assortment of things from various sources that give me inspiration, like this bookmark folder for example... (old surgical illustrations have the best crosshatching i've seen yet)
i'm also very guilty of being on pinterest like all the time. i have a board dedicated to a vibe i want to give off in my art style, or at least at the moment. i guess my feed also adapts itself based on whatever is fleeting for me at the time. right now i think i'm really taken by vibrant colours because i've noticed that i always dull down my palette way too much, as if i'm restricted from using too much saturation HAHA
as you can see i'm really into making things look bold right now. you can go take a look yourself if you'd like:

will you draw ytmk anymore? someone shared your animation of them on twt the other day and i remembered i miss how much you used to draw them
no... or at least it'd be a rarity. i still do really like them but my interests burn out quickly. i don't even really like focusing on ship art (just because characters are paired in my art doesn't mean i ship them) and have been wanting to focus more on worldbuilding for that reason, but i liked them in particular to make it a thing i guess #feminists4yutamaki. it was funny to see how quickly you're able to gain traction by just drawing straight lovey dovey shit hahaha, i called it quits the moment i was getting too much attention.
i want to clarify that i'm not really romanticizing this dynamic, it was kind of the whole point. 😓 the theme here isn't romance but rather delusion. i tried to make samarie unsettling and marina unusually cutesy to mimic samarie's POV to get that point across but i'm not sure if i was successful.
hiii! im here from the eirin clinic animation from youtube!! is it possible to share the video to tumblr as a link or raw video so i can reblog it to save on my blog page?^_^ i don't have a lot of F&H on it right now but your animation and art is so beautiful and i want everyone i know to see it :]
Your f&h2 animation meme is so drop dead gorgeous! Your style is absolutely beautiful and reminds me of bishoujio artwork 😆💖💖 my favorite frame was the one of marina doing her mascara as well as chibi her and Samarie. So so so cool! I hope you continue to post more. You're awesome
aah that makes me so happy to hear 😚 that was actually what i wanted to go for, i had this vision for it to look like an old gothic shoujo anime. miro also likes vkei (ended up loving the GazettE through him🙏) so i felt it also complemented the game well. i'm pretty pleased with the progress i've made with colouring because i feel like it encapsulates the nostalgic feeling in art i've always grown up admiring. i'm working on making more work, all of your support means the world to me always
could i request the still images of marina from your samarina tiktok.. your art is so gorgeous
thank you! they are available on my patreon, which unfortunately does have a paywall haha... can't really afford keep my time spent unmonetized anymore at this age 😓
melo, i love your art !! when did you start drawing?
thank you! i've been drawing basically for as long as i can remember. it's a shame i can't find my earliest digital artworks because they were saved on the shittiest laptop on the tiniest mouse that is now lost in time. i have taken really long breaks before, in 2022-2023 i feel like i barely drew at all.
i started posting my art when i was 11 with disgustingly underpriced commissions but during quarantine is when i gained traction for my ugly ahh freehand anime pen drawings. i kind of regret being more engaging back when i was 14 because i had a lot of hate and confusion in me (as teenagers usually do). if by any chance anyone has their first impression of me from back then, i have to sincerely apologize...
lmao dont pretend you play the game when you cant even portray the characters properly
uwu levi's heckin softboi uwu samarie's a lil stalker
you're a tourist bro
you've been making animatics for a while yet your art hasnt improved at all, when you pause on the frames everything looks pretty off. you should take a step back and work on your fundamentals
this got me a lil tilted but i’ll be impartial because i’m unsure if this is bait or a poor attempt at actual criticism. i’m always open for feedback because i believe my art still has a long way to go but i don’t know what you mean by just “fundamentals” or it looks “off”. if you dislike my art you can just let it out and say kys because this is the internet and that’s fine, but unless you want to elaborate you’re not giving me much to work with here
hii i found you on youtube from the f&h2 and your art is so mesmerizing and beautiful!! what are your favorite things abt the game? im way too scared to play it myself so ive been watching yt vids HAHA
thank you very much <3 hopefully i will put more art out soon.
my favourite thing about termina has to be its expansions of the characters compared to the first game, the fact that it was made by just one person, and the amount of freedom the game grants even with the abundance of content there is. i feel like it is so difficult to code an rpgmaker game where each playthrough can be unique so i am captivated by that, especially as someone who can't live without a little spontaneity. so much replay value in a game that was built on such a limited engine... genius (i will never stop glazing, it's everything right up my alley)
the art of course is also so gorgeous, the ayami kojima influences on miro's art style and the darksouls-esque locations really tops everything off. it is like a stew of everything i love all while maintaining its own originality. i could go on really.
Hello, this is the Q&A box, but may I share my thoughts❓
I absolutely love your Daan drawings‼️ I fell so hard for your Daan that I even got into the fearandhanger fandom—that's how much I adore your art‼️ Please let me keep supporting you‼️
thank you very much! it means something to me that i'm contributing to giving more exposure to the game i adore. i long to make my own gritty little rpg someday so seeing f&h get all this recognition really inspires me on its own. i'm moved that my art was able to have such an influence on you 🥰
