updates on rymin nendos: they have instruments now!

[slumberthroes]

I'm of the belief that Min isn't so physically apt (at least not any more than necessary), but I do also think that Min is capable of some surprising feats under pressure.

For example, I don't think he'd be a very good runner under normal circumstances, but if something really important were at stake he'd suddenly hit the gas under the sheer power of stress and adrenaline. And then the fatigue and meltdowns would definitely crash into him like a freight train after, but, still.

sorry if you already answered this, but was there a specific reason why you decided for ryan to be a cat (as opposed to combined with a different denizen/animal) in dbttlor? i know there was that huge catboy ryan joke and all back in the day, but now i’m wondering if it’s going to have an actual reason in the story. i have my own theories but i’m curious :3

AH sorry i thought i answered this before but its still in my inbox so i must not have?? sorry about that!!

so initially i remember having a different animal in mind, like a chicken but more chimera-esque (think falin monster form from dungeon meshi, but nowhere near as big), but tbh every design i came up with based on that just kinda grossed me out 😭 and i also figured it’d be way too easy to guess what the form was since chicken choice judy and all. (and in one of the group servers where i first discussed this, someone literally guessed it immediately😭 so i had to change it)

i settled on a cat for multiple reasons! cats can be cute, scary, or gross (hairballs… bringing dead animal gifts…) depending on the situation. i wanted ryan’s denizen form to be something where it makes sense that min can look at him and only see him as adorable and lovable, but that other denizens (like the Cat) or other humans (like amelia) might look at him and feel a visceral, uncanny disgust.

yes, the fandom joke abt catboys was part of it but more than that… well, by this point in the story ryan’s going through something alienating and horrible, and min’s just revealed some traumatic, scary shit on top of his ongoing mental spiral. when something really intense happens, i try to follow it up with something silly or hopeful to cut the tension— and i figured the readers would already be stressed enough by this point. So i figured it’d be funny and a bit of a relief to punctuate this incredibly depressing section of the story with “Surprise! We got plot-relevant catboys now!”

The last reason is that I’m not above being self indulgent and I never wanna take myself so seriously I can’t pull some silly bullshit like “what if ryan was a catboy. and we explore how this is genuinely body horror lite™️ for him”

hey!! sorry if you’ve already answered this somewhere before but your art is absolutely gorgeous and i’ve been wondering what you use to draw/colour your traditional stuff?? tysm and have a good day!! :]

HIIII i probably did answer this somewhere but i forgot where and i don’t mind answering again anyway haha

the tools:

-uni colored lead for 0.5 mechanical pencils: i use these for sketching, it’s lighter than typical graphite and frankly, i prefer to have colored sketches than grey graphite— it looks better and smears less when coloring over it

-various artist markers like midliner, tombow dual tips, and faber-castell. i prefer the felt-brush tips, better flexibility and range, i usually use these for base colors

-watercolor brush pens… i forget the brand name but you can find them at michaels. i use the lighter colored ones to go over the base colors, to add shading or warm/cool tones

-pentel milky brush pens: these are my personal favorite paint pens, i like that they’re thinner than posca and more pastel-colored, and they’re easier to blend with other color layers, at least for me. i use the white brush for fixing inking errors and the other hues for highlights and spot lighting

-various brands of ink brush pens for line art, these days i prefer the very very fine tipped bristle brushes.

-for small details like faces and hands, i use .05 tipped micron markers. But if it looks too sterile I’ll go over it with brushes to make the lines prettier

hope this helps! sorry for the late reply!! and thank you!!
