Maddie GT

One of the many SolarBalls artists out there. I also like Pluto's Reprisal, MLB, Ninjago and probably more. Welcome in! I may not always respond immediately.

Ask Pluto(Pluto's Reprisal & Solarballs):

-What if I call you "Chocolate cookie with heard"^^?

You looks just like a chocolate cookie,really!☺️

Sooooo,take a cookies:3

🍪🍪🍪

🫴

Pluto would love that nickname but only if Charon uses it, haha (SolarBalls). He'd take the cookie, though.

I think Pluto (Pluto's Reprisal) would be chill with that nickname as well as long as it isn't used to mock him. He'd take that cookie and throw it at Dr. Oid.

Watch out, it’s the cutest couple in the solar system

Charon always showers Pluto with kisses

Hey Maddzgt, may I ask what songs you listen beside solarballs? Like what artist you like and from their songs? Like Olivia Rodrigo, Lady Gaga, Grimes, Skillet, Justin Bieber and others! C:

Thanks for the Ask!

I'm not a music geek and simply listen to random songs I either find on Instagram or come across on my Spotify, but if I had to pick some artists who's songs I liked, I'd pick: Fall Out Boy, Twenty One Pilots, Grimes, Skillet, PinkPantheress, Autumn Kings, The Score.

A few songs that I currently like (as my tastes shift periodically):

4 ÆM - Grimes

You're The One - Elisa Rosselli (Winx Club)

Unethical - Faouzia

Tension - Autumn Kings

Just to name a few. These are definitely not at the end of the list, but they're quite nice especially when I draw and need a certain atmosphere, haha. Outside of artists' songs, I love to listen to film music (PHM my beloved) and FNF Pluto's Reprisal soundtracks.

Hi hi maddie! it's me, kat! :D

i wanted to ask, will you ever make a post that includes ALL your humanized designs for the solarballs characters? or maybe some kind of master doc/drive?

Hii kat! Thanks for the Ask c:

I might consider making a post that includes all of my designs. So far, I answered this in a previous ask about my planet designs. I haven't thought of doing a document or drive for these, but that's actually an interesting idea! Might consider that now, thank you!

You should be able to find my humanisations/designs under #solarballs designs now or #my art (although that'll take you a bit haha).

Hallo Maddie GT 🫶 have you ever drew Pluto and Charon hugging or kissing in a human form? I love them smm!!

Awwh, thanks for this ask. To be quite fair with you, I don't think I drew anyone kissing (in human form, SolarBalls related) so far unless my memory is doing random back flips...

I did draw them like this before though (2025):

Other than that, everything else was pretty much drawn in "ball form". You are giving me some ideas though, hehe...

[maddzgt]

HEY MADDIE! :D👋

Just asking out of curiosity, what would you say is your favorite sci fi space movie? 🌌

Thanks for the ask! I'm so PHM pilled right now, so I doubt my answer is going to surprise you if I say that "Project Hail Mary" is currently on my top list. I read the book twice now and watched the movie a few more times, it's just so beautifully made and fills me with so much hope and joy. 🥺💙

Besides this, I am currently reading The Martian and may consider rewatching the movie because it was pretty good from what I remember. I cannot NOT mention Interstellar in this. Another movie that I watched was Europa Report (2013). I'm not into horror or eery stuff, but if you want that feel of space horror where you live through the experiences of the astronauts, that's one for you. I also watched Ad Astra. It's not really about science, but it oddly reminded me of the relationship between Astroson and his dad from SolarBalls - a son wanting to go to space to find his father.

I admit that I haven't watched that many films nor can give a proper review on the ones I did because it was a bit since I watched them. I hope the future of film will bring us some peak movies like PHM, I'd be looking forward to that 🙏

A pretty sad sketch, but I kinda like to think that Dark watched Cosmo just to cure his boredom, and then slowly ended up getting attached to him...

And now Cosmo gone...

[lookingformycringe]

Finally had time to catch up with the show

[maddzgt]

Orcus and Quaoar beef because I think this has potential or smth 😔🙏

[maddzgt]

What pen brush do you use? 😭

I have the goofyy one but kinda looks different in your art style

Yeah, I stopped using the goofyy brush after some time. Or, well, I actually modified it to fit my needs:

Instead of the "Dot" patter, I use the simple "Felt Tip Pen (Hard)" one.

2. Speed - Thickness is set to -10% (meaning, the faster you stroke, the less thicker it is; I actually suggest playing around with these settings to fit your preferences)

All of these can be found by clicking the ">" symbol that pops up next to your saved brushes. I hope this helps! Thank you for the ask ^^

Hi

[itzzaira]

Oohhh this is the first time I'm openly out I'm nervous qwq After having been trying to pretend it doesn't exist for so long and terrified of reactions from people around me I decided to at least here try and be more open<33 thank you everyone for the lovely community we've created that allows everyone to be open<3

Regardless as to celebrate pride month, my pride headcanons for everyone<3 (Whaaaattt I didn't just make the entire solar system aroace?! Shock!!)

Sun - Aroace. He does not understand romance. He does not care for romance. He also does not care for gender. He just got called he and rolled with it. (I don't remember what that was called-....)

Mercury - Unlabeled! He got tired of labels, these ones included. (And he couldn't decide qwq) queer!

Venus - Transmasc<3 however, Mercury and Earth have no idea, he transitioned before those two were born.

Earth - Aroace! Buuut he still enjoys the occasional kiss or other stuff platonically from time to time. (He and Mars kiss as bros I will die on that hill) so a bonus pan<3

Luna - Aroace. And I somehow decided he's disgusted by romance. He probably wouldn't be but the thought cracks me up.

Mars - Ace! I mean....... look at him qwq

Jupiter - Bi and demisexual! (A headcanon I lovingly stole from DreamieArts<33) my shayla ejwusk

Saturn: Gay. 100% gay. And he does not care if he's seen as male or female. He often gets mistaken for a girl on Earth's surface. Or a drag queen. He loves it.

Uranus - Aroace and pan! He had one burst of attraction and then never again. (Said burst of attraction was soothed and disappeared the second he ate. He was hungry)

Neptune - Guys guys you will never guess...... aroace! Shocker I know. He does not care for romance he cares about his beloveds.

Planet X - Aroace. Hear me out on this him flirting with Uranus was him trying to be his friend. After all, his only example of "friendship" were Jupiter and Saturn. He genuinely had no idea he'd been flirting with him and was shocked when he was told.

The shading was the main ask sorry 😭

No worries, thanks for clearing it up c:

I think it would be easier to share these tutorials I found on Pinterest that helped me with shading:

OMG MADDIE GT 😭❤️- Can you teach us how to colour, every colouring you do to your art it's just MAGNIFICENT!! I love the way you did to your new post LIKE WTFF..- WHAT FILTERS YOU ADD OMGGG AAAHHH IM LITERALLY TWEAKING RN I JUST CANT STOP STARING AT YOUR MASTERPIECE. 💗💕

Thank you for the ask!

I'm not sure how to properly teach or even describe my colouring, really. Oftentimes, it's kind of muted-pastel-but-a-bit-saturated-still type of colours that I like. I'm not a fan of using saturated colours unless it's an accent or a detail (not talking about shading!). If you gray-scale your artwork, it shouldn't be a mess of black and white, because that would hurt your brain (unless your intention is to create a mess; again, not talking about shading).

You can see that the art stays within a satisfying range of grey and only a few details stick out, so that there is no huge contrast (and if there is, like Astrodude's walkie-talkie and head, then it's placed intentionally apart and sparingly without confusing the viewers' eyes). Sometimes blurring the art and seeing where these contrasts are can be helpful. Though, I am doing this intuitively now.

I guess another point is that I never use black or pure white. The outlines are always purplish/blue so it won't look muddy when I add shading. White is reserved for eyes or if I want to add more contrast to focus the viewers' eyes onto a certain detail.

To make your characters look alive, I also like to add a little blush (you can also colour your lineart where that blush should be or use a blending mode on top of everything - my fav is "Overlay").

I'm not sure what other tips I can give you about colouring, my thoughts are pretty much based on various other artists' tips and tricks I learned online. But I hope this helps a bit!

Ian-ization 💫

I'm just testing out some dynamic poses right now while making my yearly contribution to the Pluto's Reprisal / Quantum Exodus community, haha. This is Ian, the electron neutrino from QE, just in case my humanisation is confusing.
