"... When did it s-stop…  hurting … to think about them…?"

 "... It didn't."

Drew this for @the5n00k‘s final chapter of “I Can’t Lose You” (hence why my usual review is taking so friggin long lol). This scene was so potent that I started this the moment I finished reading. I hope I did your vision justice, Snook! ❤

Experiments: Layer effects, bloom filter, liquefy tool,

(trademark game)

To me your trademark is your gorgeous highlights you add to nearly everything like you put so much effort into your art

Also dropping fanfiction on me at 5am /aff

Thank you, I really like playing with lighting! It's a ton of fun to just throw shit at the wall and see what sticks lol

Also re fanfiction: you've dropped your fair share on me too, nerd 😏AND IT'S ALWAYS A DELIGHT AND A PLEASURE!!!

I have a perfect road trip buddy comedy in mind starring you and Snook (I’m a sucker for that genre)

Benny and Snook, two ragtag ghost hunters, find out about the most haunted place on earth in Los Angeles which is rumored to feature the deadliest ghost known to mankind! They decide to seek that journey out and go on the road trip of their lives! Along the way, they meet friendly ghosts and realize maybe ghosts are not the monsters they’ve been made out to be…

Influences: Casper, How to Train Your Dragon, Ghostbusters, Thelma & Louise (y’all don’t die in the end :p), and A Goofy Movie

(maybe TGAMM too, I dunno lol)

I don't know which is more concerning: the fact that apparently @the5n00k and I's mutual platonic adoration is potent enough to be sussed by an anon, or that the minute I read this an entire graphic novel bloomed in my head

(I do love a buddy comedy, road trip tropes, General Shenanigans, and subverted monster expectations)

Color crush: green, blue, violet :3

green - how to win your heart?

I'm so easy, my dude, literally my requirements are 1) show up and 2) be funny

blue - what’s your ideal partner like?

How much time do you have? 😛 In an ideal world, they would make a noticeable effort right away, obviously have a good sense of humour and be easy to joke with, open to learning about the things I like and honest if it's not for them, and continue to show interest in the relationship even after it's been established. The bar is so, so low and yet /hj

(Oh also the Voice™ is a big thing they've gotta have a Voice™)

violet - what are you like in a relationship?

Lovey-dovey. Mischievous. I'm constantly telling my partner that I love and appreciate them but then teasing them mercilessly in the same sentence. I'm also twenty-eight different kinds of touch starved so I'm constantly seeing contact.

(I want to be truthful and say there's an element of insecurity in how I approach relationships too, but the experience I have regarding that comes from a relationship 6 years dead so I don't know how much I've changed since then on that regard)

Colors: sunshine, soup, why, and bleu

Video games: 23? There's a lot of good ones but I have my own personal answer for this question I'm curious to hear yours lol

Colours:

good, my 'normal person' facade is holding up /j That's super nice of you, Snook, I appreciate you <3

Video games 23: A “Wow” moment of awe

The Mass Effect series had. SO many. Something about playing as a human surrounded by the vast diversity and potential of deep space reeeaaalllllyy hit right. I have a specific example from Mass Effect 3 under the cut if you're cool with spoilers

Requires some background info, but basically all of colonized space is overrun by these massive sentient machines called Reapers and they are tearing through resistance. Right at the very beginning of the game, you're set on a mission to find an ambassador of the Turian species, bringing you to the moon above their homeworld where they hold the line against the Reapers. There are two specific moments in that mission I cite: one, where you look up and see their homeworld burning above your head, ruined cities blazing like sunspots, and the other, a Reaper lands on the moon with the spacescape in the background, and I remember sitting there and watching this for the first time and just. Being overcome by the visuals and the circumstance and the scale all at once.

The majority of fandom doesn't like ME3, but god it hit me hard.

Colors ask game: unsure how this works if you're supposed to give me a color or if I need to give you one but you're yellow, ruby, and pink

I don't know either! I guess we make our own rules! :D

Hnnnn you're so sweet Snook ❤ You are:

Mahogany

Jade

and Pink (careful I have rabies lol)

[Specific artist ask:]

4, 25, 30?

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

Hrrgghhh I can do poses. I can do people and hands and expressions. But for some inconceivable reason I cannot for the life of me draw a book

25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by

Y'know, this is a hard one, because people don't really compare my style to other styles. I think someone likened it to Adventure Time once (which I've never seen)

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

This one. I get why (it's Wicked fanart, for god's sake, and not even the version people mostly know), but I spent so long on it and learned so much and was (and still am) so proud of the finished result
