Which OC of yours was the most fun to create? Which one was the most difficult?

Hi Nick :))))!!!!!!

My most difficult was definitely Jasmira! I had a lot of fun looking into Mexican-Punjabi families in California in the 20s-50s but there was a lot of reading for the RP setting. Also writing her can be very difficult! 😭😭😭

The most fun would be Mae... she's my oldest design and she's SO EASY AND FUN FOR ME!!!! I literally love this oc so mch ^__^

What artists/books/movies/music/etc would you say have been most formative to your style/subject matter? What inspires you most?

oh maaaannnn there’s a lot. what inspires me most is the fact that if i don’t draw or create regularly i turn evil <3 (thats mostly a joke, but i do get very irritable if i dont have some kind of creative outlet haha)

but here’s a too-long list of things that have rewritten my brain chemistry 🥰 dont take this as a list of reccs because some of these are 100% not for everyone LOL

for movies,

the alien franchise (except three fuck 3), the thing, 2001: ASO, colossus: the forbin project, videodrome, and mad god have all done irreparable psychic damage to me. if you can handle it, pleaaaaseeeeee watch mad god. absolutely gorgeous movie. i wish i looked like the assassin (shoutout 2 data for showing me it)

electric dreams is also good but it feels weird sliding it between those other reccs 😭 the tonal whiplash

for books,

house of leaves, obviously. absolutely disorienting narrative that was very fun to pick through and jump around. johnny’s sections are some of my favorite pieces of character writing, and i adore how the text and formatting turns the book into a labyrinth. my only complaint is figuring out similar things in css is HARD.

things have gotten worse since we last spoke is a disgusting novella (said with the utmost affection). its not something i can recommend to most people because it deals with some sickening topics, but it def shaped my love of horror

ihnmaims and tuf voyaging are two short story collections i read when i was far too young, and still enjoy today. also colossus the forbin project (the book). good 👍

the locked tomb series! what else is there to say but Jod Damn! alecto please

for games,

marathon trilogy! me when the ai have issues disorder🥰🫶 it can be difficult to play (use walkthroughs or mods to make things a little easier if you arent in the mood to be frustrated), but its worth it imo. shotgun and mousetrap if you even care btw

cecile richard and kitty horrorshow have been integralllll to my artistic development. cycles and gutless by cecile is the reason I started writing in twine, actually. still some of my favorite works :^)

disco elysium is amazing but everyone knows that. i think making readers feel uncomfortable and kind of pathetic is good, actually.

scorn is like. absolutely gorgeous. the game plays awful imo but its worth it for the eyecandy of lovingly crafted biomechanical horror. i got the art book as a gift and now it permanently resides on my desk.

signalis is a recent one but i watched my friend play through some of it and am itching to try it because AUGH. the vibes are immaculate (even if some of the combat is annoying hehe). @ that one anon who sent me a signalis recc, YOU WERE RIGHT. IT IS 100% MY KIND OF THING

there’s a LOTTT more, many of my inspirations i often forget about because i have an awful memory. i approach a lot of media consumption with the intent of “what can i learn from this?” (both narratively and mechanically) and fucking loooooveeee deconstructing things i enjoy. my toys 🥰

Ask time! What inspires you most to create art?

Thanks for your ask!! This is a fun question! There's not one thing that inspires me, I think. I get my ideas from books/fanfiction, movies, shows - mostly Phantom of the Opera - ... But most of the time I'm just doing something and suddenly, BANG, my brain's like, "let's draw THIS idea." I always have to write it down so that I won't forget. My short term memory is something else.

A lot of the time though, and I know this is cliche, music inspires me! I listen to anything, from classical to heavy metal to pop. Sometimes the lyrics make me wanna draw something, other times the general vibe makes me wanna create a thing.

For example, I drew this lil guy (Basil from Omori) because I listened to Best Day Ever 😂. The Spongebob song.

What inspires you btw? Your art is fantastic! Very lively. Reminds me of the Dragon Prince comic art style.

Hi Glass! Apologies if you’ve been asked this before, but what’s a Phantom boot or two that you consider a must-see?

Well, whether they are considered "must-see" is debatable, but I've made a list of favorite, highly recommended videos here. Just don't expect me to limit myself to one or two...
