Spearmint: What’s an interesting fact about you?

Hm, interesting fact...

I can meow pretty realistically like a cat! I've had a lot of practice from growing up having at least 1 cat in the house for the majority of my life plus growing up obsessed with the warrior cats series

Wow, it's really you! I followed your Deviantart account a few years ago and was ABSOLUTELY in love with your art. My favourite part was the colours as your artworks are very vibrant and...well colourful. It's like fireworks illuminating a dark sky.

But then at some point, I couldn't find your DeviantArt account and couldn't remember your name. I got sad and eventually moved on, but still trying to search every now and then, until today when I found your website (Which is AMAZING btw) through the RainWorld webring and I was so happy :D.

Idk how to end this message but eh...thank you for your wonderful art. Your are one of my favourite artists!

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry for the delayed answer :'D I feel awful... I haven't been on Tumblr for a while, or in social media a lot besides Bsky and Newgrounds. But it's super lovely you even felt like writing me this ask!! It means a whole lot you still kept on looking for me. I deleted DA out of frustration with the annoying AI changes, and the community slowly dying too. So I moved to other places!

What was your nick btw? I wanna see if I remember you ^^ Again, thank you so much for reaching out!!

I'm so curious what inspired your blog's theme!! It reminds me of a more psychedelic and colorful version of cookie clicker's aesthetic Also. Do you take kindly to like spam

Ohhh!! That's a super sweet ask, thank you <3 I just kind of wanted something that felt equally painterly and dreamy, like a fun place for me to post my arts and chill. I wasn't really thinking on a particular theme, tho I remember I was also listening to the album "Trench" from Twenty One Pilots while I painted it. I'm also curious on the Cookie Clicker aesthetic, I've never seen it, only heard of it from others! And last but not least- yes, I don't mind like spams! Go ahead! Tho reblogs are always greatly appreciated too haha x] They help a ton! Thank you so much for the ask!!

What inspired your art style?

Oooh, this is gonna be a longer answer- cause I've been inspired by many things throughout my artistic years, and surely wanna talk about a few of these ^^ First of all, my art was heavily inspired by lineless artists with a very cartoony vibe (which defined an early era of my style), so some of Kasey Golden's works and the 50s modern cartoon styles really had an influence in me. I could point out the Jenny LeClue game for this too, all the sharp angles and retro textures really left a mark on the types of things I would find aesthetic - while being on the point n' click genre. Further down the line, I stumbled upon a game called Smile for Me, and eventually discovered more of Yugo Limbo's art! In general, I felt drawn towards the works of many other artists with similar vibes - vibrant colors, eccentric-looking characters, experimental textures and that retro energy. It's really hard to explain or pinpoint what drew me to em, honestly x] I guess I just really like how wild people's arts can be from different perspectives and backgrounds, and the result is something quite unique, even when I can't relate myself ^^ It's part of the fun of being in a world where expression has so many different angles to peek at and experiment with. And well, nowadays? I enjoy a mix of messy, painterly styles, together with varying linework vibes and things that lean towards the surreal, kinda horror-esque side. I also grew to really like the aesthetic of low-poly games from the 2000s (mainly things from the DS and PS1 era) and also RPGMaker ones. Things are exciting, I guess! I could go more into detail on another reblog, since I don't want this post to be extremely long :'] Things such as tagging artists and showing pictures, if you would like.

Also sorry for the late reply aaa-

haiiii do you perhaps have trade or comms open?

Ohh, I'll be properly opening and announcing my commissions soon! I was working on a proper sheet with the different rendering styles, and explaining things more clearly ^^ I'm also going to update stuff such as my TOS, and add the samples from the sheet there.

I'll give you a heads up whenever it's out! Thank you so much for the interest <3
