Hello. Just wanted to say thanks for keeping on posting after so many years. I've been on here almost as long as your blog has existed. It's just nice to see someone else soldiering on so to speak.

Oh thank you!

Yes well I'm not around so much but I guess I am still around!

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

I'm having @inkenstabell stare into my back to have me mention her etchings, but I'm genuinely having a ton of respect for the patience and sheer perfectionism she brings to creating her prints. I'm glad I got and get to learn secondhand about it from her.

Traditional art in general is a big mystery to me though. Spent literal years getting some kind of a degree in it and I feel the second I pick up a brush I forget everything I know about art. Fucking. oil paints.

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

Always, it feels weird to draw without having music run at the same time. I mostly listen to black metal, post-punk, goth rock, trip hop and neofolk so something from those is always on.

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

What even is my art style beyond weird wanna be symbolist art lol I'm not joking jealous of everyone who has a neat rendered art style, clean, tidy, with defined values, realism. Essentially what you think of when you hear the words Magic: The Gathering. Everything I draw feels like a great comfortable mess with my name printed big on it, which always feels both detrimental but really great tbh. Not sure if this is the right answer to that question tbh but I sure look at that and love it, hah.

🌗 🍀 :3

🌗 Is night or day better for drawing?

🍀 You wish your art was more..(fill in the blank)

oof, that's a tough one! I definitely want it to be more complex...to feel easier with experimenting, trying more interesting angles and compositions. I try to leave my comfort zone a bit and learn something new with every new piece that I paint, but I still want to push myself further. And I wish my art was...less detailed in some cases, lol. Sometimes I spend TOO MUCH time on unnecessary details and then wonder why my hand hurts lol. (But actually, I think I'm now better at setting priorities: what to render in a very detailed manner, and what's not)

3 and 21, if you still wanna :3

oh boy do I! ask game here!

3. What ideas come from when you were little

gods I need to remember what I drew when I was a kid... turns out I've always been interested in messing around with crayons n stuff! according to my mom bc I don't remember any of that at all. the only thing I remember abt drawing as a kid is 4yo me in my kindergarten class drawing a person portrait with only black brown and red for colors because all the other crayons were snatched up by the rest of the class. the teachers were debating putting my drawing on the wall at all bc of how shitty it was lmao. in the end they still put it up but in a far corner where u have to really look for it to find it. garbage but extremely funny thing to do to a 4yo I feel

but yeah I was basically a battery-powered animal of malice as a child lol. I actually didn't commit to drawing as the Thing I do until I was, like, 15yo? so most of what I started with were like, cardcaptor sakura and detective conan fanart. not a lot of connective tissue in there visual-wise. to my own recollection I don't have a "childhood dream" of being an artist or an art vision I deperately want to realise every since I was a babe whatever, I was just extremely bad at making shapes by conventional standard until I started liking very specific things and couldn't find enough of those things out in the wild, and then I started experimenting in my backyard. it's all very mundane and trivial like that, but I'm only some guy afterall

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

uncle mod's TPOH I feel like is about as diametrically opposite of my personal styles as possible, but I think it slaps and I love looking at it. I also used to really love yuumei's art and still enjoy it now, even though craft-wise I detest doing that kind of glass-like "anime graphic" so to say rendering. anything hyperrealistic is also definitely outside of my wheelhouse, but when used to do more whimsical stuff I am a big fan of it, like with sun yuan & peng yu's "Fallen Angel" and "Teenager, teenager". I'm a fan of miku! and like 80% of her official visuals are things I would never want to draw myself in a thousand years! I like a lot of art and do very specific, if random, things.

#ask #combustibabe #bakuspeech #artist ask #thank you for the ask!#honestly I do think if I run after every kind of art I find fun to look at I would die before I could take a single breath #I've learned this lesson. art I like and art I do are two entirely different things #I do what feels nice to do. I look at what's nice to look at. these two things are not synonyms #reason 1 of 3874372847 why I would not survive in an art school or a legitimate company #but hey! it's true. it's why not everyone does art all of the time. cause some things suck shit to do!#it all makes sense see (I stand in front of you in disheveled button up and slacks with a stick pointing at the board like I just threw up)#the first question which is the third one in the ask game is also rly interesting to answer bc it makes me realize how like #there isn't really a ''core'' or ''true self'' to my person at all. this is all artifice and made up babey!!#I feel like now that I have more controls over my own environment I will settle a bit. and be recognizeable as a person #but my childhood was and will always be a loose collection of like four different kids #I'm not a character I don't have super clear and in-your-face impactful backstory. I just made myself up one day #the moral of the story is you can do anything forever. just make up a person you wanna be and be that! it's fine #it's all fine! (I have gotten even more disheveled and I crack the pointing stick over my knee)

kurapika and that blushing emoji!
