Please, give me six characters to draw fanart of! Characters from Danganronpa, Zero Escape, and When They Cry (or other fandoms I'm in) are greatly appreciated. Character suggestions can be from anything :)
Hi hello I see you’ve given in to peer pressure may I draw her?
And since the 72 demons are from Ars Goetia, which Demon is Panacea? And if they are none, who did they kill to sneak in? :3
Yes, of course! I love seeing art of any of my ocs!!!
I'll try to be quick but also take this as a chance to drop some more lore :p
Panacea replaced Vepar as one of the Dukes of Hell. There was a power struggle among the 72. She was serving Crocell (another member of the Ars Goetia) at the time. She used her position to assist in the murder of the original Vepar, and she took his spot.
They still go by the name Vepar during summoning rituals and other official matters, but they prefer to be called Panacea casually. The reason why is honestly pretty petty. They've been mistaken for Zepar too many times for comfort due to their similar names. She doesn't like helping hopeless romantics start relationships and would much rather help terminate them. She is summoned often by scorned lovers who seek vengeance. They do not enjoy talking about romance or attraction.
She tends to be very opinionated as a way to compensate for her relatively new position among the 72. When it comes to power and influence, Panacea is very similar to Ronove and chooses to serve others. They're still learning the ropes. They are talented in many regards, but they struggle greatly with their newfound duties that come along with Vepar's title (especially with anything relating to the sea).
Also, since I don't know where else to add this, the killing method she is associated with is poison.
Question: How did you develop your art style, and do you have multiple?(like a more realistic and a more chibi?) Also! Who inspires you to make such pretty masterpieces?

Thank you so much!!! You’re so kind!
Sorry, in advance for the extremely long response :') My hand slipped/j
These are the 3 big tips for developing an art style I wish knew when I was younger:
Find the things that inspire you, and break down what you specifically like about them.
Experiment! Try new things! Practice! Your art style will develop on its own as long as you keep creating.
Have fun! Draw what you enjoy and what makes you happy. Your style is yours; you should enjoy it.
When I was younger, I caught myself thinking things like, "I would like to draw the eyes like this, but I can't because it's not my art style." Then I realized that I was getting in my own way. Once I overcame that mental blockade, I started having fun drawing again. When I allowed myself to experiment, it also caused me to improve faster because I could figure out the things I liked and the things I didn't like. Everyone's art journey and process are different, but this helped me personally.
Yes, I do have multiple different art styles. I have my regular art style, a cartoony art style (I am not currently happy with it. I have a lot to work on), a silly doodle art style, and a realism style (or as close as I can get to it). I also draw eyes differently depending on the feeling I want. For example, I draw tear ducts on characters that I want to have a sort of scary horror vibe, and I don't on other characters (I don't really know why or how it started). I also experiment a lot, which causes my art to always look slightly different.
I also like to prioritize drawing the things that I enjoy the most. I really like drawing faces and expressions so I've practiced that the most (along with neglecting things I don't enjoy like coloring, I'm working on it I swear, I digress).
There are also a ton of little trademarks that show up over and over again. Like giving characters sideburns or hair strands that frame their faces, never adding highlights in eyes, adding swirls in hair, and there is this weird thing where I associate the number of eyelashes I give characters to their personalities (I couldn't explain it if I tried 😅). I think it's important to stumble upon little things you enjoy drawing and to keep doing it.
I never made a list of things that inspire my art even though I really should. Below, I'll list off some artists who inspire me who you can find here on Tumblr.
☆Cryptidw00rm
(also highly recommend their YouTube animatics they're absolutely breathtaking)
☆Seiishindraws
☆Sinlizards.
☆Nanamis-username
☆Viria
(their drawing tutorials have left a lasting impact on me from when I was younger. I really suggest looking them up; they're really in-depth. I couldn’t find the original posts, but it's the first results when you Google "viria art tutorial".)
I'm always instantly enamored whenever I see these artists' works. They are such a huge inspiration. Please go check them out!
There are also a ton of other artists and things that inspire me too, but I'll spare y'all for now. >:)
As a bonus, here is a little example of how my art has developed. I just found my old art from each of the listed times. This is my OC Amaryllis over the years.
Below are some collages of sketches that I hope will showcase my style (these took forever to compile)
And finally, have a Megamind that I am proud of but never posted *thumbs up*
