Artist Ask Game :3

11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? 🎵

Probably about half the time... I've been known to accidentally sit in silence often, LOL

I'd say it's mostly videos! Usually either one of my few podcasts (been on a Sad Boyz binge) or general videos, which are usually either artists/creatives (lately pikarar + Kathleen + Sophie) or gameplays (Ray with my beloved hours long VODs).

I used to listen to music a lot more but I've been having pretty gnarly anxiety lately, so having something more conversational/plot focused helps keep the scaries at bay. If it's not stuff on Youtube it'll be either Bob's Burgers or Always Sunny, which I've seen enough that it's just comfort noise. Every so often I throw on a movie I've seen already

Thanks for the ask! c:

Artist Asks List

[starpawedart]

For the art asks!

5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself

I would say like 95% of art I make I post SOMEWHERE-- usually it's just kind of scattered across socials (i.e. I tend to keep my furry art off of here since it's more fandom focused), so usually nobody is seeing everything I make ever unless they follow me everywhere

I also unfortunately have a very "if I'm not going to post it why bother make it" mindset that I am trying desperately to break out of, so that 5% is my irl sketchbook which I keep to myself and any OC art or niche fanart I just doodle for fun

Ty for the ask!

Weirdly Specific Artist Ask Game

Didn't see a lot of artist ask games, wanted to make a silly one.

(I wrote this while sick out of my mind last year and it's been collecting dust in my drafts, I might as well let it run free) 1. Art programs you have but don't use

2. Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)

3. What ideas come from when you were little

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself

6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in

9. What are your file name conventions

10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw

11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what

12. Easiest part of body to draw

13. A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing

14. Any favorite motifs

15. *Where* do you draw (don't drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth)

16. Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing

17. Do you eat/drink when drawing? if so, what

18. An estimate of how much art supplies you've broken

19. Favorite inanimate objects to draw (food, nature, etc.)

20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

22. What physical exercises do you do before drawing, if any

23. Do you use different layer modes

24. Do your references include stock images

25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by

26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended

27. Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with

28. Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines)

29. Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

Also, hi! A note from your artist 🦇

I feel like I've really been neglecting my art socials, and I have, but the truth is I'm just generally pretty frazzled currently, and have had to shift my art focus purely to Work rather than Play.

It sucks big time; I miss being able to post as much as I did and feel like I have time for personal art, but [gestures to the world state] it's fucking awful as both a person and an artist right now, let alone little ol' me who is very openly queer and leftist in the south, and has the bones, mind, and immune system of an 85 year old man.

The good thing is, I've been at least working on things I enjoy working on! My only real stable income comes from the furry community and the folks who have been supporting me over on Patreon (🫶🏻 ), and if there's two things I love drawing, it's people's fursonas and the WWDITS vamps getting absolutely sloppy together

I really appreciate people still hanging around here and still supporting me. I feel like I'm constantly in some sort of crisis physically or mentally, and I try to keep that to myself for the most part, but in doing so I just tend to retreat from spaces and my interests. I still love making art, it's just A Lot sometimes, and having all my finances dependent on it does make me resent it sometimes. I'm sure a lot of other artists can relate right now, and I hope if YOU guys are reading this you know I'm holding your hand and also blank staring off into nothing with you.

Anyway, if you would like to help at all, first and foremost I just appreciate any and all love on my art! Seeing WWDITS stuff especially still getting love is really healing for me, because ultimately I'm still in my Hot Vampire [Meteorological Season] Era, and I'm glad other people are still just as obsessed.

If you ARE here for vampires, I will say that most of my attention has been going to maintaining my Patreon, which is just $5 a month and gets you all the vampire goods (plus things like monthly sketch requests and commission discounts!). There's, like, 200 posts to catch up on, and I have no issue if anyone just wants to drop a few bucks, consume everything Kirby-style, and then bail; please never feel obligated to keep paying if you cannot! Or take that money and pass it around to another artist every month! We love you!

If you're not really into the vamps but still want to support me with some spare change, I have a Ko-fi as well!

And of course, my commissions are open! Come get fic art or some of your OCs or Tony the Tiger sucking toes. Whatever you'd like.

If you made it through all this blabbering, thank you!! I'm gonna keep Existing Here and posting my blorbos as long as I'm able to Keep Existing in general.

You look like a bad idea...

                “You calling me sweet?” Jake asks, glances away from the intense gaze Bradley is giving him to briefly watch the running around his squadron members are doing, their yells giving him an excuse to look away.

                “Definitely sweet…” Bradley says, and Jake doesn’t know if it’s his imagination or the breeze, or if it actually is Bradley’s breath against his neck, making him shiver. “You cold?”

                “A little,” Jake admits, but he’s got a jacket beside him, and he should probably put it on, the setting sun causing the temperature to drop since he got here and his body will ache even more if it gets too cold, although he usually doesn’t have a problem.

                “Come here,” Bradley instructs, and he’s sinking to the sand, leaning against the log instead of sitting on it, spreading his legs wide and Jake raises an eyebrow. “Just going to keep you warm…”
