Uggggjghhhhh..... you made me fall in love with mafukasa...... jfjdisieueieieh /vpos (I LOVE YOUR ARTSTYLE THE WAY YOU DRAW THEM IS JUST SO UAAAAUGHH 🥹🔥)

thank you!! my goal when drawing them is partially to get other people to love them as much as i do, so i'm glad it's working :3

[nashishishi]

How long have you been an artist and do you have any tips? I wanna switch from traditional to digital but it's been pretty hard for me

i've been drawing traditionally since i was a toddler but i only really got "serious" about improving and practicing around 8 years ago. for digital, i started with ibispaint x around 6 years ago on my phone, medibang on my laptop with a graphics tablet 4 years ago, and then clip studio paint with a screen tablet 2 years ago.

i guess my biggest tip would be to start small. clip studio has a lot of tools and it can be overwhelming, so starting out, just practice with the basics: default brushes, layers, blending modes, etc. just to get the hang of things. and then you can experiment a lot! try out different work layouts, different brushes, different techniques, different hotkey setups, and more. there's a lot more things you can do with digital, so it won't do you any good by trying to learn everything from the beginning. me personally, even though i've been doing digital for years now, there's still things on csp that i don't know the function of. but that's fine, because the way i've been doing it so far works for me. and that's the best tip i can actually give i think. if it works for you, it works. doesn't matter if it's inefficient or "wrong". just do what's most comfortable for you for your skill level, at least when starting out :]

hello your project sekai emoji eyes are really cute!!! could I ask what Ichika, Saki, and Shihos emojis are supposed to be though? They look really good I'm just kinda confused lol

saki's are piano keys! 🎹 <- hers are supposed to look like two white keys and a black key :3

ichika's and shiho's are supposed to be the number of strings on their respective instrument. ichika has 6 lines (strings) at the top of her eye, and then there's a triangle at the bottom which is supposed to be a guitar pick. shiho has 4 lines (strings) and no triangle because you don't usually play a bass with a pick

ty for the ask!!

hey this isnt an ask, but youre the reason why “and then you became the moon” is on my playlist now. :)

have fun doing whatever youre doing now!

HDHCJDHCJ THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

i've had to quarantine cuz i got covid :(

and due to circumstances that i will not speak about currently, i also have not been able to do much schoolwork. i've just been trying to keep myself busy by drawing and preparing and planning for the hxs anniversary

it's weird that i genuinely want to do work lol

[nashishishi]

here's my big question: whats going on with (the rest of) hxs' vocaloids? what are they like personality wise? hxs miku is a lot like niiku but are the rest of them also gonna pull from the nightcord vocaloids or are they gonna maintain more of their wxs traits?

tbh, i'm still thinking about it, but my main idea was that all the hxs vocaloids take more from n25, just that they have a "wxs twist". for example, hxs miku is n25 miku with wxs miku's cat features and sisterly personality. hxs rin would then, theoretically, be just like n25 rin but with wxs rin's bunny features and friend-loving personality. again, i haven't fleshed them out much individually, but this is the main idea.

[nashishishi]

my proposition to you regarding hxs is that rui's silly ass is such a gifted kid ergo rui should get to sing aishite aishite aishite <3

i'd consider it if i didn't already decide to exclude any songs that are already in-game from my au

[nashishishi]

hiii !! i wanted to know how you came up with the usernames for your wxs as n25 au if you'd tell me :0 like if there're any specific meanings to all of them !

sure! there aren't really specific meanings, but there was a thought process. here's how i came up with them

V

Sora - i wanted tsukasa's name to parallel mafuyu's. mafuyu's username "yuki" derives from her name "mafuyu." mafuyu usually means "winter" and yuki usually means "snow," so i wanted to do something similar here. tsukasa's name means something like "to manage" or "to govern" so i couldn't make the username out of that, but tenma means "sky horse" which i could use. sora is (to my knowledge) the more common way of writing "sky."

MU - paralleling kanade's username, which just uses her first name's initial. when said out loud, K sounds like "kay," so i wanted to do something similar. the M is supposed to be the "em" in emu's name, and the U is added so that it finishes her name. however, because the name is written in roman letters, the name is spelt MU and pronounced "emyu." also it kinda sounds like emu (like the big birds that the australians waged war against and lost to) which i thought was kinda funny.

Naninunene - i listened to positive dance time and heard the "mamimome" at the start and got reminded of vocaloid speech comparisons (a-i-u-e-o, ka-ki-ku-ke-ko, na-ni-nu-ne-no, you get the idea). since i wanted nene to parallel ena, naninunene fit with enanan's theme of repeating syllables in the name. i did replace the "no" with another "ne" so it would say "nene."

Ramui - rui's username follows mizuki's. rui's was a bit hard to figure out since i'm not actually sure how mizuki came up with "amia." apart from "it sounds like akiyama" i don't know where it came from. it actually seems to be a mix of their surname and given name?? (the A's in amia coming from "akiyama" and the "mi" coming from "mizuki.") might be a stretch though. in the end, i didn't actually use this method to create rui's username, and instead took inspiration from the name "Soda" that my friend thought of. ("because he likes soda candy," they said.) Ramui comes from "ramune" (japanese soda) and "rui," and in the end, somehow still kind of sort of but not really followed amia. like it's some weird mishmash of the sounds in "kamishiro" and "rui."

there were a bunch of unused names too, mainly because unlike the ones i ended up going with, they didn't have any meaning or thought behind them.

(fun fact: two (more like one and a half tbh) of nene's rejected usernames cameo in my fic.)

hello!! i saw your wxs as n25 unit swap designs!! do you mind if i use them/take some inspiration from them? i’m doing sort of my own take on wxs as n25, and i wanted to ask before i started drawing anything, since your edits were the thing that kinda started my brainrot lmao :]

yes!! you can take inspo

it always makes me happy to know people rlly like my au :DD
