☢ School/Work ☢

☢ Do you work or are you a student?: work! although i have a bachelors of fine arts (specifically in "drawing and painting" which sounds goofy as fuck but you know).

☢ What do you do well?: well i sure hope i can draw alright. aside from that i am pretty okay at reverse engineering clothing patterns but only if im doing it for doll clothes lol. and i can make a mid website for sure.

☢ artist/band: kikuo might be my fav but he competes steeply with artists like metaroom, depeche mode, genesis.... but also there is so much out there!!!! go surf bandcamp NOW 🔪 and also go click on albums on my album picker!!!

☢ games: m...... monster hunter.... wilds comes out next year i am dying..... but i grew up on a lot of pokemon, and watching my friend play zelda. twiling princess 4ever.... and recently ive been playing the first and now second pikmin and i really like them!

☢ tv show: various stupid animes i dont want to list here LOL but i watched a lot of MASH growing up and while it can be a real rollercoaster watching it with modern sensibilities i appreciate its progressive ideas in its original context. also i think at this point the forensic files narrator qualifies as my other father DFGHF

Hello! It's me, lol. You may have observed some colour changes while reading this--its a little update to my CSS I finally got around to, isn't that nice? Fixed my profile and folder icons to match too, how exciting.

I've also added some new things to my trade/sale folder if you care to look. Mostly older design and trinkets that I'm finally ready to let go of ^^ as always I'm open to haggle, and if we're friends or mutuals or whatever feel free to ask about things not in the tentative folder and I might just gift it to you lol.

Hmm so it's been a little umm let's say busy for me--i think caught up on the messages I hadn't answered yet (sorry to everyone who's patient enough to be my friend lol, I genuinely appreciate you) but if I still owe you a reply just let me know. Re: commissions, those have been slowly sent out as well, not finished yet but you can expect them soon if you haven't received yours already!

I have some updates I've been meaning to make to my website for months, adopts that need starting and finishing, so on and so forth.... This is just kind of a casual update from me, I don't have a lot of energy to work with so things will be slow for the foreseeable future but I'm glad for anyone who enjoys my work or just likes hanging out. Thanks for being here! (⁠◠⁠‿⁠・⁠)⁠—⁠☆

A straightforward question if you'd like to ruminate on it with me: For social media, do you prefer feed-based websites or gallery-based websites?

I think they have their pros and cons, although one type is certainly more prevalent nowadays haha. Feed-based makes it easier to discover and share new artists and other types of posters; but gallery-based makes it easier to look back on old works and encourages spending more time on a given post.

I think purely for the experience of posting and communicating with other people, I prefer the gallery-style, like DeviantART. It's also nice to be able to like..... find things, lol.... although it does feel a bit awkward to bump old works even though it's an option, so I avoid it. I used to post religiously to tumblr until one day i just, stopped; now that site feels the most like screaming into the void to me lol, although i still use it for non-art-posting purposes.

Today I woke up with the thought that I should probably expand the 'blog' type section of my website. I think I might rearrange a little bit and push it up to the top level, and have it be a nice place to post my catalogue of works and still be able to write more than 280 characters about it, haha. Being able to string together multiple works into a discussion on a topic seems fun too, and I am still sitting on some tutorial ideas + a fully written article(?) on file organization that I should probably publish.... lol. But I feel like combining that more exploratory space with the posting on platforms that I already do could be a good way to make room for a more static/permanent archive than constantly scrolling feeds allows for.

What do you think? Does a specific website stand out to you for sharing art/other works?
