I really do adore the way you draw Telemachus - he looks so much like young Odysseus, very kind, a little mischievous. Do you headcanon that he takes after his Dad mostly, or are there some traits which he got fully from Penelope?

I like to think he looks a lot like his dad but his personality is mixed (though. Homophrosyne as they are). I wonder if he's got any latent naiad traits from Penelope

Okay, woah - listen if you ever want to ramble about how your composition works, I eould love to hear it! I think you‘re doing it masterfully

Haha well I'll give a bit of a ramble then, it won't be much on advice on how to do composition but more so just my thought process on how I draw it usually ^-^

For me, composition is the foundation to everything I draw, it's honestly the reason why I enjoy drawing even if it takes me hours (and I means hours) for me to finish something

Since I don't do sequential art often, it's really important that I convey everything I want in the single piece. Composition helps with that

Usually I often indicate a focal point in my art that's basically supposed to be where ppl's eyes end up to. Someone once said i'm the person that does the Circles which is true lol but i usually do that as a way to emphasize certain parts of a piece. It's a great way to guide the eye (and also makes for a nice dramatic halo)

See here examples of how the circles create a focal point

I also like to add elements that direct themselves to those focal points (e.g. the fish guts dropping down or the smoke going towards the circle). Its a way to make everything have good flow that doesn't feel too disruptive

Understanding the "space" you're working with is also important! When u can split elements into foreground and background or understand how low or high angles work, you can create nice composition that's more dynamic. I would share examples of what I mean but they're mostly zines pieces which I can't share yet!

However, I think you can see what I mean here as well

Both use center compositions but have a slight difference in angle and foreground elements which i personally think can convey different feelings. The first feels like its extending outwards with the rope and slight low angle to create a grand reveal tone, whereas the second has a blurred and dark foreground with a still and straight camera angle to convey a tight feeling.

(These are my thoughts tho, not sure if others feel the same!)

I'm not perfect at composition tho, there's lots of perspective angles I suck at and want to learn more of. I do recommend studying photos or looking at your surroundings to understand what could look good or not. Even though most of my art doesn't really have a realistic background since I like to put abstract elements, its important to observe and understand the dynamic of our environments so it can be intergrated into your own art

Ah, is it author loving hours? Hell yes! Then allow me to tell you that I always have a tab open on my phone which leads me right to your Ao3 profile. Doesn't matter if I need a pickemup, or just a laugh, or need something warm and cozy to fall asleep to - your fics are alwyas my go-to. They are my all time favorites and I reread them at least once a week if not more. You're my favorite author of all time and I'm so grateful you decided to share your writing with us

real pics of me reading this 🥺 that means so much to me thank you thank you thank you

I want you to know that I only saw like 5 % of your GG live blog yet and all that I so far gathered is that you either managed to predict the future with your „Baiken adopts Eri“ fics OR someone used it as a blueprint because its just so genius to have Baiken and Anji be parental / sibling figures XD

you should read the rest of my live blog i am very funny on it i promise XD

and yeah no that whole DLC story was a trip. A couple of years ago some random anon sent an ask that was basically just "hey how cool would it be if baiken was a mom?" and I spent little more energy to think on it beyond going "you're right that WOULD be cool!" and I wrote a real quick fic about it and it sort of...spiraled out of control from there, as you well know.

And I will bet good money that at least SOMEONE from Arcsys saw my fics and went "...yeah...yeah that would be cool..." and now here we are. And it is fucking genius because you take the two most morally ambiguous characters in this entire franchise (which is saying something because there are some shady folks in GG) and make them responsible for an innocent and the story and character development kinda springs to life by itself.

Also I am already writing a fic with Eri and Delilah because someone needs to tell her that she's a big sister now and apparently im the only asshole in this place who does any actual work so it falls to me.

DMC Gen Week Day 2: “Hug/Competition”

For @dmcgenweek! 

“You’re back.”

“Yep, we are. Come on kid, bring it in.”

“...what is this?”

“It’s a hug. We’re hugging you.”

“I know what a hug is, Dante.”

“That’s Uncle Dante to you, kiddo.”

“I’m not calling you that. Not yet. Too weird.”

“You know what I learned, oh nephew of mine?”

“Oh god...what?”

“That we take things for granted. And passing through a Mega-Leviathan’s guts -- yeah, apparently there’s plenty of those in the Underworld -- has taught me that we should say things before they’re too late.”

“...you both smell like shit.”

“Yeah, Mega-Leviathan, crawling through its guts -- keep up, kid.”

“And now I smell like shit.”

“No, kid, that -- that’s the smell of family.”

“I’m getting the hose. And Dante?”

“Yeah?”

“It’s good to have you back. Both of you.”
