*points at* YOU.
I specifically remember seeing your art when I first started seeing you in the forum games, and... honestly?? I always thought it was really neat?? I've probably since forgotten what drew me to your artworks in the first place, but it was definitely your digital arr... something about how clearly defined everything is - from the lines to the coloring... hell, even the shading just... really stood out to me? it unintentionally gave that comic-book vibe given that at the time, I didn't exactly know you were planning to make a webcomic, but... that asides... I feel like contrast is such an underused technique in art, and your style just uses that beautifully! your shapes, for example, are so defined, and I can tell the characters apart even from silhouette alone. furthermore, the contrasts between the colors is quite refreshing; as much as I like blending when used properly, it's also just nice being able to clearly see the individual colors. u_u
however, even your traditional art is just... really neat tbh?? I'm again terrible at describing, but when it comes to how you're able to make the sketchy element of the medium work in your favor, I can and WILL blab about it. the comments about shapes and color contrasts from earlier still stand even when going from digital to traditional, but unlike your digital art, your traditional art has this balance of textures that I just find inherently charming? it may be due to the fact that you tend to use pencil in your traditional art, but you also demonstrate a clear understanding of values, as shown through this piece as an example! you place more pressure on darker/more defined areas and less on those that are lighter/less defined. as with contrasts, it's a pretty underrated technique, and it's always interesting to see how your pencil art improves with time! speaking of pencils, I find it rather impressive that you're able to draw in such a signature manner even with a relatively limited range of tools, and I can only commend you in that regard!!
keep up the lovely work, and I hope to see more of it in time- :0c

- I..... I forgot to reply to this, and I'm so sorry fdgvvbrdfgvdrfgv-
ANYWAYS. this is REALLY SWEET and I grinned like a fool when I first read it. I'm still grinning now as I reread it, and it's just dsfvsrfdvsfvdvf- tysm for the kind words and well-articulated response?? it really means a lot to me, especially the symbolism and motive to improve?? I haven't been that much in a drawing mood as of late, but... I do hope the experimentation doesn't come off as inconsistent, but rather just a way for me to convey different aspects of my characters symbolically while also trying to improve on how I execute my pieces- :")))
I'm honestly going to keep coming back to read your response every so often, because it's just... really sweet.... fuck ik I'm being repetitive, but like.... it means a lot to me when I impact other users that way, and honestly in a way that I struggle to describe because of how warm and fuzzy it makes me feel- tysm dude for the reply once more, and apologies for the late commentary!! ;;
