I love your art. Sometimes, it's so hard to find good book malec art, so it really was a joy to find yours. I absolutely adore the space au one btw, it's so adorable... Anyways, sorry to bother you, but I have a quick question. Do you have an Instagram that you post your art to? I suck at using tumblr lol, so if you have one, it'd be nice to know it. Sorry, again. I hope I don't sound pushy.... So, yeah, thanks! Hope you're having a nice day <333333333

Hello there! Sorry it took me so long to answer. I can't even guess how many years it has been! Thank you so much for your kind words, it was heartwarming to have come back to the blog and see such a nice ask.

I'm no longer in this fandom and basically orphaned this blog. I would not be deleting it (at least for the time being) but I will also not be letting people know of my recent activities, other than the fact that I'm still creating art somewhere out here.

Thank you, cheers and goodbye! <3

Do you have other social media accounts like instagram or twitter?

Oh hi, omg I have totally forgotten I had this tumblr... and it's been so long!

As it is pretty obvious, I'm no longer active in the fandom and has moved on to other fandoms.I have another tumblr and socials under different name, but unfortunately would not be sharing them here.

If we were to meet again, see you out there somewhere!

Any tips for writing and illustrating comics?

Hi there!

First off, I feel that I'm not the best person to answer this question as I'm an amateur myself.. but I'll try my best nevertheless😂

What confused me the most in 'comics' specifically (that being said, it's not about writing a story nor drawing figures; it's about constructing 'comics'), was dividing a page into frames. Think of it as a stream of action or storyline that flows behind the pages, and you're supposed to select certain 'screenshots' from it to depict what you wanna convey to your audience. There are multiple aspects of making your selections effective and relevant (i.e. frame sizes, shapes, spaces in between them, the organization of your frames... all of which that influence your narrative, pacing, etc.) ..and my advice is to look into other people's works closely, asking following questions: What is the point of your story? What are you trying to get through to your audience with this frame? Why does this work or doesn't work?

Then you'll come to realize certain patterns, like how more important or impactful scenes are placed within a larger frames as opposed to less important ones in smaller frames.... along with so many other rules of comics as well.

All of the experience you have with other people's work will eventually be a part of you, and will help you with making the choices on how to divide and position frames for your comics. At least that's what happened with my work, so I hope it helps you as well.

Cheers! ❤

Hey! I'm new to tumblr but I'm already a big fan of your art. I really like the different styles between the show and the book, and really, you should be proud of yourself. Do you think you could draw Malec at Jocelyn and Luke's wedding? I thought they were ADORABLE and I saw no fanart of that moment.

Hi thank you so much Hon! I’m guilty of letting such nice msg sit in the inbox for so long, so I promise when I come back on track with SH your request would be one of the first I come back with. Thank you kindly, cheers!

Have you watched and/or read Good Omens? If so did you like it?

Hey! To be honest with you, I haven’t, I probably wouldn’t in a long time, not because I’m not interested, but because I’m swamped in lot of different things at the moment. I will talk about it when I do end up watching the show or reading the books. Thanks!

i know how you feel about your artwork being reposted,, this may sound like a stupid question but would that also apply to using one as an icon on twitter

If you tell me ur Twitter handle and which work you would like to use beforehand you shouldn't make it to my list of people I would like to hunt down lol
