Hey. Who do I have to maim/murder to get more sassy Ripto art? btw I really hope he follows through on his promise to get Crush a bird of his own, don't crush his dreams now. :U

If I COULD, I would just draw him 24/7 I SWEAR. He is a little piece of trash and I love him. Glad more ppl share my vision, I wish I had more energy for more comics TT And ofcourse Ripto followed through on his promise, he has to take care of his minions after all.

Belated happy birthday!!!

I always love seeing your posts on my dash. I know absolutely nothing about Crash Bandicoot and yet you draw them characters all so well that it's a delight. I love the "doofus crash / hot girlfriend" pairing that you do sometimes, always a delight.

I hope you had a great birthday 🎊

Ouww thank you so much, I really appreciate 💛 🌻 the bday was really good, had a nice day filled with drawing and ramen ✨

Feeling bad that I leave my main blog completely dusty and abandoned, but I’m happy my hyperfixation grinding can bring joy to others who are outside of the Crash hellscape 💕

how do you do the coloring in your art? its so good like im in awe!! the like... texture and color jitter is so awesome

Thank you so much ☀️🌻💛

I am still learning and discovering how to paint, so can't helpfully break down the process but most of my paintings are made in CSP with: - For 90% of the painting: Flat brush with Opacity Pressure (Hue jitter and sliiight Brightness jitter) - For details: Small round Brush, with Size pressure and slight Color Blending (blending is just a preference) (sometimes I add color jitter to make it look similar to the Flat Brush) - For nice big shapey shapes: Polyline, like lasso tool but you can only make straight lines. Lasso tool is also good, this one is just cleaner.

General advice: - Make as little of brushstrokes as possible, try to think more about the appealing shape each one of them would make. For this reason I also make Brush Rotation depend on Pen Angle for better control. If it's hard to do clean, cheat with a Polyline/Lasso tool to make a shape first and then fill it in. This restriction helps me personally to try and keep the paintings clean. - Learn to use RGB sliders to find harmonious Colors to the one you already have - References (you know them, you love to see them). I try to have some for real life lighting/materials references and how other artists try to replicate these lighting/materials in their works.

I have variety of style references on my pin boards for this particular type of painting that inspire me. If recommending a specific artist, I think it's Angela Sung (like a third of my style inspirations are of hers ^^) It's a bit of a rambly post and I am still learning, but I am happy to help, cuz online advice is how I learned to paint and draw myself💛 Good luck on your art journey ✨

Just wanted to say that your Tumblr name makes me wheeze with laughter every time and your icon pic is so funny I love it so much

then my job here is done, you are welcome

and thank u ofc🌻🌻🌻

[frongfriend]

just wanna say your art genuinely has my spyro loving inner child hypnotized.

Do you want me to kill someone for you in exchange? just as a thank you for your creative mind? I can probably organize a cult to ritualistically sacrifice other artists to fuel your growing power.

I joke (maybe) but FR keep up the work <3

Ask anonymously No? how else will they recognize me

HAHAASADGJHA thank you so much for the kind worda, they do keep me going <3 maybe with less violence tho haha, I would much rather be sacrificed to fuel other artists ⭐ (not too much, I still have my 9to5 to show up to 🙇)

Hello! I’m obsessed with your art of Spyro lounging around in different worlds from the original games!! Do you sell prints of them?

Hey thank you so much 💕✨ So happy ppl resonated with those. I don‘t sell anything yet, maybe in the future. I would really like to, just my current life situation doesn‘t allow it.

When the time comes, I will announce it here ^^

P.S feel free to use the paintings with credit 🌻

Your art is lovely as always.

You were one of my very first mutuals and I always appreciate seeing your name cross my dash. I hope things are going well for you <3

Heyo, thank you so much for the kind words 🌻✨💕

I love coming across your posts from time to time too, it’s fun to look into what other creatives do and I appreciate how actively you interact with others.

I still really appreciate that first ask you’ve sent me, it was one of the first of millions of steps for me to start coming out of my shell ✨🌻 I am not that far, but still infinitely further than i used to be, and for this I am always thankful 🌻💕✨💕

So in short I am doing good, therapy helps and internet feels less scary now. I hope you are doing great too

<3
