Have you thought about creating a bluesky account? 👀

I made one just a couple weeks ago! hippano.bsky.social

I haven't posted any art there yet because I haven't drawn anything new since making it😅

[hippano]

can't believe mormor sunk bc your apple trees died </3 (joking)

if only I had known a little light would have saved them 😔 (also joking)

[hippano]

whatever happened to your mormor apple trees btw?

They died 😭

Over time they just started shriveling up and losing leaves. They never got past about 2 ft tall and I don't think they even made it a full year. It probably didn't help that my window faced a wall outside and had virtually no sunlight.

But wow that takes me back!! Those plant posts were more than 10 years ago now. Thanks for asking!!

[hippano]

What apps/materials do you use to draw?

Currently Clip Studio Paint and an old Wacom Intuos tablet for digital stuff, and micron pens with copic markers for traditional stuff like the face sketches!

Though depending on which post you found me from, I have also used pen-and-ink watercolour and Photoshop before switching to Clip Studio. Happy to go into more detail if you were wondering anything specific!

Are you planning to open for commissions anytime soon? I’m working on a mormor fic and I love your art so much!

Sorry I don't plan to open commissions anytime soon! But thanks so much for thinking of me and good luck with your fic!! :)

Ugh, friend, its me, imanadultiguess. The art you did for me back in 2018 was so fucking good, I cannot even stand it. I was looking at it again just now as I reposted my fic, and I'm just blown away by the detail and the sense of intimacy. I love it so much. You're so, so talented.

Ahh! I'm so glad it's still bringing you joy after all this time! :) Thank you!

I'm the author of A Family Grew Around Me. I deleted my ao3 account like a dumbass, so the fic isn't around. My heart lept at the ask about the fic, so, Anon, I am going to put the fic back on ao3. Find me at imanadultiguess2 on ao3. I'll put the fic back up this weekend along with Hippano's gorgeous artwork.

oh an update for that anon!! Thank you!!

[hippano]

Okay so the fanfic A Family Grew Around Me (moriarty adopts A cute lil baby girl). I read IT A LONG TIME AGO and idk if you wrote it or someone else (I'M SORRY). But you're my favorite Mormor artist so I KNOW you did art for it. Can you please link the fic here? PLEASE!?!

I don't recognize that name but here is the tag for my parentlock art!

The closest one that comes to mind for that description is this generic father's day art, but take a look through the tag for more. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
