Would you ever consider putting up your old art somewhere it could be searchable? Like not algorithmically but like with tags or categories. I was going over old fics and as much as I absolutely adore your new BNHA stuff, I miss your OP and Homestuck stuff. Especially the crossovers.

I know you're posting your current art over on Blusky, but I miss your posts fairly often just because there's no way to filter posts by type or search by tag, y'know?

And if I can be completely self-indulgent, I'd like to be able to link back to your Piratestuck designs for Zororo and Sanjee on the pailing fic my partner and I wrote over on AO3.

This is Niji, btw. New blog after The Purge.

it would be,,,,, so much work;;;;; like I would love to have all my old art easily searchable by tags myself, it's something I lost too when my blog got purged ;_; (I still got everything on my computer, but searching by filename when I need to refer to something is a pain XD) there's also the matter of where/how to do it because tumblr won't let me do it here because of the nsfw

I would have to build a website from the ground up or something and I'm not equipped with the know-how for that atm ;;;;

alternatively making like .PDF collections of old arts and putting those up for download is another option, but those wouldn't be conveniently searchable, would lack tags and sorting and description and context and that's part of the reason I've been putting that off for a long time now...

my heart ache to know my old art is still missed though, I really want to find a solution eventually, believe me

#you realize my art for OP/HS/BNHA numbers in the thousands by now? XD;;#that's a lot of art to tag and categorize #I miss my old blog it was so well-sorted too #by fandom by ship by character by AU #and other various recurring tags #it's funny I feel many artists go out of their way to make their old art disappear #but mine disappeared without my consent and would love nothing more than for people to look at it again #with all the flaws it no doubt has #me remembering finding japanese fanartists' personal website that hasn't gotten updated in years yet I looked at their art again and again #if I could be that artist for one person.....#but for that I need my art to be out there and available

Do you have any sapphic MHA ships that you like?

I like MomoJirou, they're basically canon in my mind haha

I'll be honest not many sapphic ship stand out to me very much, they just don't grab me as much? like OchaTsuyu is cute, or I could ship Mina with any girl in the class probably (I've drawn her being horny at Ochako recently) but I don't have any deep investment u_u

#ship ask #I stay a multishipper though #present me with any ship and there's a solid chance I'll be like ah yes I see the vision #not a 100% chance but high up there

I can't seem to find your ao3 for the life of me. Can you share a link?

certainly! here it is~

#there's not a ton on there but it makes me very happy to know you're looking for it #like I know my writing isn't extraordinary but I'm still pleased with it in a way I want to show off a bit?#like “look I can do things with words too not only pictures!”#tell me I'm doing alright with the words and I'll be over the moon hahaha #I've also written a couple of drabble/ficlet in the last year that aren't on AO3 and I've been pondering if I should put them there #since it's made to accompany art #more than words that are accompanied by art #if u know what I mean?#if u follow my bsky you might have seen the BakuToko one #there's an angsty bkdk one on patreon too #anyway I write sometimes #a little #once or twice a year

What are your favorite things about Bakugo x Kirishima?

I love so many things about them :0

favorite things though? that they are best friends first and are comfortable with each other, like there's no question that Kiri understand Bakugou-speak while others just think he's rude and angry. Bakugou obviously has this soft spot for Kirishima and feels more relaxed with him in his personal space than with any other of his friends. It's my favorite thing that because all that Bakugou took Kirishima's hand 🥹

it's also a favorite thing that they're both rowdy and hot-blooded and as much as they can be relaxed around each other, they'll also push each other to compete and be better, I like that they're on the same wavelength for many things

and it's my favorite thing that Kirishima is Bakugou's dragon, like what better way to show their relationship than having one of them be a fucking dragon who could go wherever and do anything, but he just wanna hang around this funny human who will keep saying the dragon is his servant but we all know the bond is deeper than that

in the whole of bnha it's their relationship that makes me the most emotional and I like that a lot

#KiriBaku #ship ask #they are also hot and together they are hot squared #and they are equal in the bedroom as much as in life #I like a good switch dynamic #and I like drawing them #they make me feel invested #did u know I'm an art mod for a krbk switch zine? that's how invested I am XD #(go apply you have like 2 days left)#and like I have so many AUs and the focus ships do vary from AU to AU but krbk is still the most common #they have this chemistry that is not a destiny/fated thing but works in every universe in which they meet #they like each other #so much #even in universes where they might be involved with different people they would always be important to each other in some way

Do you still post on Tumblr?

not art, no, not since the tumblr account where I did post got nuked with no hope of recovery u_u

I do answer asks that come by though

#for art see bluesky or patreon #I don’t even post on twitter anymore #at least nothing more than previews #I yearn for a platform that could be fandom/art friendly and that people would actually use

any chance you have some of the bhna fairy art still around? either it got taken down off ur blog or tumblr search is shitty as always

there is,,,, just nothing on this blog here, since it was my back up account, syblatortue (without the dashes) was where all my art was, and that one got nuked with no way to get it back, so no, the fairy arts ain’t on tumblr anymore, but they’re still on twitter (which is even less searchable than tumblr so good luck) and somehow this collection still exists so that’d be the easiest way to see them fairies

also patreon has some of it (and even a newer piece)

#and patreon also gives u access to my discord server #and I love an excuse to bring up old art there #just saying #all them old arts sitting in my computer ready to be enjoyed again #might repost some on bsky at some point but dunno when and probably not all of them

is there a chance you could upload your old homestuck art on deviantart (for the highest quality since twitter compresses the hell out of everything, plus it's being weird with the NSFW posts nowadays), or alternatively dump it all in a .zip file for us to download?

have to admit I had a chuckle that you suggested deviantart, of all places, as a place to upload my old homestuck art. like, I appreciate the concern over the quality of the images! but also, there is already some old Homestuck art over on my old DA account, and one of the reasons I didn't crosspost all my Homestuck art there already at the time I was making it, is that nsfw content ain't allowed there (or it's somewhat allowed but pay-walled? idk I just took a look at their guidelines, I haven't paid attention to their policies in years) every platform ever is weird about nsfw these days

making it available to download is something I've been thinking about for a while (since my blog got deleted, maybe even before that) but rather than "dumping it all in a .zip", I'd prefer to make it into a .pdf, or several .pdfs, considering there's close to a thousand files in my homestuck folder @_@ and that. could take some time to sort and do. and then I gotta find a way to distribute it, and again, it having nsfw in it restricts my options :/

but I thank you for asking about it, love that it was probably prompted my the sudden Homestuck resurgence with the recent announcement and that you remembered my art and want to see it again 🥺 so yeah it's still something I want to do, I never meant for my any of my old art to become unavailable, but I keep pushing it off because of logistic issues. anyone got any suggestion?

#a huge amount of work that I also don't know how worth it it would be #who actually wants to see my old arts again?#besides you dear anon who asked about it ilu #it also pains me to share my art without the context it had originally #be it the ask that a piece was an answer to #or the caption and tag ramble underneath that enriched it #in a .pdf I could add some notes when I feel it necessary #but it also adds to the insurmountable-ness of the task that keeps me from even starting to learn how to do it

Hi!! I’m searching for old tumblr art and not sure where else to look. I remember you drew a Kirishima with like bites and burn marks and a reporter was asking him what villain he got those from. Do you still have it??

though the original tumblr post is lost I can still find it in my partial backup with the old ask and the tags

also here's a repost of the image on twitter

#see this is why I miss tumblr #talking headcanons and getting inspired from it #it was so fun #I mourn every conversations I could have had here (but never happened) about the AUs I created since I was nuked/since the porn ban #ship talks and sexcanons and how much krbk are head over heels for each other #those happen a bit in my discord at least #and I bring up old arts there often #I'm always happy to

Hi, so that’s why i cant find some of your work, like the one a out Kiribaku being shrunk and tow big hands making them do the sorry, the one this fic was inspire from, i remember there being tow different fics but i cant find them if i do t find the origen of their creation 😔

oh I remember these! yeah with my old tumblr dead you can only find that art on twitter nowadays, as for the second fic, here it is!

thank you for making me find these!! now I want to read them again~

#warning for noncon if you click on any of these #and other dark concepts like murder #could have answered this privately but I'm giving sign of life on tumblr I guess

Hello!!! I absolutely *adore* your mer art! It’s some of my favourite on this website!! I was heartbroken to realise you’d been terminated :( oh my god I’m so sorry 😭I hope u can grt ur account back :(

I was wondering if you still had any of your mer!bnha art lying around? I really miss it :( is it ok if i request it to be reuploaded? I read from an earlier ask answer that that was ok, but it’s totally fine if u cant find it or dont have the energy to <3

getting my old tumblr back is sadly not gonna happen u_u they never even answer my question as to why and it's been too long now...

but anyway! mer art! they're still around, they're almost all on my twitter (and patreon) here have a buncha links:

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13 - 14 + fic!!

and as if that wasn't enough, since I stopped posting new art on twitter there's three new ones on bsky: EraserMic, AmaKiri, and KiriBakuDeku

#I can't reupload them here because nsfw #also wow that is a lot of mer art seen like that in a list XD #so yeah I'm posting more on Bluesky now #that's where to follow me for new art #and occasional reposts of old art #will probably repost all my fishes there again come mermay #and any new mer art will go there too #or will go to patreon first then bsky haha #I got two other messages in my inbox currently about old arts but since they're about Homestuck art #I've yet to decide how to answer them #I really gotta make my old arts available somehow #it's a headache to figure out how to do it

You posted a teeth tutorial on your old blog an i would come back to it all the time but can’t find it anymore for some reason :,0 could you post it again maybe ?

oh man that thing is ancient hahaha I kind of cringe looking at it now because it's definitely not perfect but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to pull it out again

#his mouth here is like #unreasonably too big XD #tutorial #the reason you couldn't find it is the old blog was wiped from existence #to no choice of my own might I add #tumblr just hates me and that why I don't post here anymore #except for this repost I guess #anyway #teeth #chompers #incredibly painful to me that I didn't color the lineart in this #like it's not even relevant to drawing teeth #but it doesn't look good!!!!#my art needs non-black lineart #I would like to suggest looking at Hori's art to learn more teeth #I learned some tricks from his art #man draws good teeth #(draws good period)

AHHH I GOT IT!!!!

SYB THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!

aw yay!! that makes me happy to hear! and I'm so glad you like it 🥺

I would love to know, what is your favorite month?

#the favorite month question goes to anyone who got a calendar btw!#I get really happy at all the notifications someone got a calendar #it makes the work I put into it and the lost sleep all the more worth it haha #which btw it's not too late to get one! shop is still open #though right now canada post started striking so imma have to figure out something for future packages #but I'm committed to send them one way or another #it's important in case someone means it to be a xmas gift or something :0

Hi Syb! I plan on ordering your calendar first thing tomorrow, but first I wanted to ask if there was extremely graphic nsfw in it? I love all your art but I would much rather know now than have to explain to my mum why there were characters on my calendar doing “stuff”😭 No offence to you btw🫶 love all your art it’s incredible

absolutely fair question!! but don't you worry, there's nothing graphic in there.

it IS very fanservicey though, like we're talking about a bunch of pretty anime boys wearing not that much clothing after all, so many boy-nipples are very much visible on pretty much every page. I think the most explicit page is February and look, I might as well show to give an accurate idea of what I'm talking about

whether that's too explicit or not to hang on a wall, thank you so much for even considering buying my calendar! <3

#Katsuki just can't stay away from that nipple chain #a delicious offering to him

☀️ A CALENDAR FULL OF BEAUTIFUL GODS OF NATURE

I don't know if anyone is gonna see this here but I did a thing!

a 12 months calendar for the year 2025 with 12 black & white illustrations under the theme of my Nature Gods AU enhanced with gold and silver foil~ it looks pretty good if I do say so myself

SHOP IS OPEN until stocks run out~

#it was #I went through many ups and downs #the final result isn't perfect #like I wanted the silver foil to be a different type of silver than the one it ended up being #but the overall calendar is still nice~#calendar #bnha

do you think you could draw more stuff centered on feet or hands?

holding hands, kissing feet, a gentle touch, footjob, caressing faces, foot massage, etc.

I certainly could, it's the kind of tenderness I love drawing! especially hands, but there's room for feetsies too ;p

#especially especially krbk hands #but when might I draw that?#idk when I have a specific idea #or when I get a good prompt on patreon #or you could commission me even

Hi Syb! Just wanted to say I’ve always enjoyed how you color and render your art ❤️ Also, which one of your drawings is your favorite? Do you have one that you particularly liked working on?

thank you! <3 it's really hard for me to pick a favorite, it changes all the time when I'm happy with a new piece, like I'm thinking of my latest KiriDeku tattoo artist AU and some Deku-sensei arts I posted on patreon last month haha

but also this KiriBaku piece comes to mind, so I guess it's up there! it's very much my brand of tenderness that is also sexy and has pretty light

#for any which piece I could say something I like about it #can't pick between all my children ;p

I love the way you draw feet and hands! Which do u have a harder time drawing?

aw thanx!! feet are definitely a little bit more challenging, especially when drawing them from a more unusual angle. with hand at least it's easier to just look at them in a mirror to have the exact reference you need, but it can be a bit more complicated with feet

#the shading plays a lot in making feet look right too #the shape is more complex to me #but all in all it's still kinda close in the level of difficulty #for me anyway
