Hellooo! Yapping in the inbox cuz I’m boredddd :D
just wanted to say that sometimes when I’m bored, I scroll through people’s art, and your art is so good omg. I love your colour usage too :3 very pretty
just curious because it’s always interesting to hear, how did you get into happyduo/ the mcyt fandom? For me it was through my past liking of Minecraft YouTubers as a child (aphmau, dantdm, popularmmos, and later Skeppy) and then coming back and finding super cool animations/animatics for Minecraft lore that I didn’t understand but binge watched xD. Because of that, I got so curious that I finally caved in and got into the Dsmp. And then I stumbled upon skephalo through those comp vids popping up on my feed/ just watching old skep vids lol.
yup. Yap time over i thinkkk. Oh wait! One more question, is there anything you use as your main inspiration for art? For me it tends to just be looking at fanarts and stuffs, but I was just wondering cuz I really admire your art/artstyle!! :D
Oooo omg so many good questions I love this ask LOL
good lord get ready for a yap the century…
first things first TYSM UR SO SWEET LOL i really appreciate all the kind words you’ve been giving dude 😭 its rlly inspiring <3
As for the fandom and general yappage , that’s so real LOL. For me, I have always been a fan of Mc and iv played it for yyyears and years, some of my fondest memories were playing with my siblings and building little villages or whole cities on super flat worlds or the mushroom island (it was our favorite for some reason LOL), so it’s definitely been apart of my childhood and that most certainly has an effect on why I’m interested now, But iv kinda just been circling back to the DSMP and general MCYT stuff for like years now, Iv seen Skephalo/happyduo stuff for so long and I always knew I’d get into it fully w lore and actually get into the details of it eventually (this was back in the highest part of it lol) but I was always rlly obsessed/interested in other stuff so I’d put it aside for a later time:3
The animator SADIST and their animations w the DSMP also nudged me greatly into actually exploring/fully getting into it, I’m still vvvery new and know very little but I’m working my way through(6 years later LMAO), Iv seen their animations for a while and Iv studied their style a lot and it actually inspired me a lot to animate myself, I used to be really obsessed w their animations of L’Manberg esp back in the day and I didn’t even know the lore then.. (still kinda don’t.. I’m working on it;v;)
I used to watch animations, compilations, general videos, and other such things of the happy-duo before this LOL I’m just finally in a position to address the hyper fixation that’s been eating my soul away for the past 6 or so years :)
As for the art question?? Ohhh that’s a toughie..
my main inspiration.. Hmhmhm.. Well I kinda come from a family of artists, my dads an artist, my mother is on and off, my elder siblings are artists, my twin sibling is an artist.. all of various crafts ofc but their still artists so it kinda is just.. a thing that is in my brain- LOL but that wasn’t really your question XD…. but also hmm I follow quite a few people that have influenced my style to a great degree- not to mention close friends, experimenting.. SORRY OKAY TO ACTUALLY ANSWER I KEEP RAMBLING LMFAO
:) over the years iv compiled some of my favorite sketches/drawings and other various nicknack-pattywacks into a folder in my photos to look back to for inspiration— i can’t share the art because that’s reposting someone else’s work (i sadly don’t know a lot of the artists because i have had these for like so flipping long and I don’t even remember where they came from 😭..) but I can share some of the other goofie things I have saved for ya that give me a whimsical sort of inspiration:3
I’m 90% certain I got most of these from Pinterest and or discord LOL
My siblings and their art/motivation to create have also played a large part in my inspiration, I would @ them but I can’t spell one of their users (ily guys if ur reading uwu im not gonna @ you because i can’t spell one of ur user names.. also you have 2 accounts so like idk which one to @ LMAO)
:) but yea looking at fanarts also helps- when it comes to character design i definitely like to add my own twist to it though, like either changing something up appearance wise to match w the personality or adding a scar due to this or that fight, adding extra jewelry and adding reason for said jewelry, adding more color cohesiveness or like- special features that just *make sense* symbolism wise.. idk lol it’s fun
eventually when I got proud enough and okay w my style I started using some of my own art as inspiration as well which iv been able to build off of over the years— I think it’s helped me have a more cohesive style.. oh also making my own brush, forcing myself out of a comfort zone, and trying new things as an artist that I USUALY wouldn’t really do on my own has helped improved and tested my abilities:)
I’m a big perfectionist when it comes to art.. 😭 but every piece that iv done where i force it to be ‘perfect’ i end up hating to bits, so if i draw a line i don’t like but it still fits the placement and someone else can at the very least tell what it is, i keep it. As long as it exists it’s good enough:)
