That ask made me actually read your TOS and?? It literally is the same as my own, mark me down as insufferable then if that’s what having a perfectly reasonable TOS is.

yeah 😭 artists really are insufferable now because we set boundaries. people don't like that, they'd much prefer we had none.

For the Edgy/misc OC ask meme: 19 for Eurelious?

19. How does your OC behave when enraged?

i love how you picked this one out for eurel lol

to start off, it's very difficult to set eurelious off the edge. i actually headcanon that cecil, who's known him since academy years (so around when they were in their 20s), has only seen eurelious enraged once. they're 41 (cecil) and 38 (eurel) now and even though they had a long gap since graduation, and only rekindled their friendship a few years ago, it's still a long time of knowing each other, so that says something.

eurelious is an angel who's level-headed, calm, reserved, private. he doesn't show emotions and rather keeps his demeanor expressionless. that to say, this lack of responsiveness to his environment has limits.

it's hard to set him off, he's neutral about most things in his life and in result is hard to offend. in order to actually make an impact, i'd imagine someone would have to continuously try to test his patience (for e.g hurt cecil on a disguntingly fucked up level, which even without that already pisses eurelious off and shakes him up).

if someone enrages him, he will... go quiet. smile. let it wash over him. and well. the next day, the cause might as well start packing and move to a different city lol. if he's ever set off, he takes the mask off and will get people to talk. he has the contacts, while not many but enough, to find exactly where you work and live, and will find your weak spot he will use to make sure you regret what you've done. it will force you to start from the ground up.

i want to address that the single time he was enraged wasn't because of someone targetting him, but someone who made the passing of his mother a topic of an ongoing joke. i don't think he will ever be enraged while he's the target of the situation, but in fact when those close to him are - which is also why he has lifted his tone more than once at the people who target cecil. which is why he stood up for him when they first met at the academy's library, hurting his bullies in the process.

Sorry for bothering you, I ended up too curious of your art process with the lighting and stuff from one of your arts and speedpaints. And I do love your art soo much also! Um, what layers effects (like screen, multiply, etc) do your lighting effects on your art like subsurface scattering, shadows, etc...

you're not bothering me at all!

tysm for the question, i have a technique i've created this year that allows me to get this kind of effect:

what i start off with is a dull, light purple on multiply, and colour the edges of it with dull red - vivid light.

what also gives my artwork a 3D feel is the blue accents, which is, in that case, like a pastel soft blue on colour dodge with very low opacity.

this process is a hit or miss really, but it gets the job done!
