Answer to a question from the user above

I love horror short stories and read so many that it's hard to choose, but right now I'll pick "The Tarn" by Hugh Walpole (1928). I love the striking contrast between the two main characters, and I especially love how vividly Walpole portrays Fenwick's complete and utter hatred for someone who's basically done him no actual harm. It's really short and you can read it online!

Are there any artists (visual artists, writers, or even musicians) who have influenced your own work? Tell us about one or more of them!

OKAY SO. i have actually been dying to talk about this because there r so many artists that influence me. i think my earliest inspiration was Glider, who is responsible for a lot of mvs for the vocaloid producer, wonderful opportunity.. literally ever since i came upon their art in like. the mid 2000s i was so enthralled. the simple shapes and heavily simplified style really resonated with me

and even now, in their recent works, i truly still aspire to replicate what they have and make it my own because their style is just . too cute and pleasing to the eye AGHH their sense of anatomy, color, cohesion and soft yet edged shading.. ITS EVERYTHING TO ME

i also look up to naoki saito a lot, whos an artist for a lot of nintendo promotional art + pkmn masters + dragalia (which is how i found his works in the first place. rip dragalia btw) he has a lot of the same goals i want to strive and overlaps with glider a lot : dynamic poses and perspective, soft coloring, etc. but with a lot more.. pizzazz (and a bit more detail than glider) i mean look at this

there's also an artist i look up to here (ahem nullmi on toyhouse) and takehito harada and im putting them here as brief mentions bc this is getting embarrassingly lengthy. but yeah i should honestly do more studies and draw more just to strive to be like these artists and capture the simplicity yet intricacies of their art .. its jusg.. woah. EDIT: there's also nerokoro on instagram!! coincidentally enough we have oddly similar ocs but their rendering is also everything to me . its painterly but maintains a cartoonish/cell shaded feel

What is your favorite step when it comes to making an OC? (Design, backstory, personality, naming, trivia, etc.)

it's the standard. sketch, line, color, and render if i ever felt like it that day. however, i usually clean the sketch instead of lining to save time/cuz i think it just looks better than way

tell me about ur canon blorbo

heehoo okay so like Starscream !!! My oinkly sploinky !! I love him in every version even the bay movies . I love him he's just so fucking GRAHH yk cuteness aggression . That's me when I see him except he isn't cute he's a bastard

ANYWAY his tfp version is so snarky I love him . I love how he moves and how he talks he's so damn like . UGH. I love his arc of becoming a neutral for a bit (he does not stay one) , smelly ass ughfhfhfhdhdhekejdwjdh I love him <33 ik it doesn't look like ichave much to say but i judt . i love him I get overwhelmed everytime I ramble abt him 😭⁉️ I want to hold him like a sopping wet cat . Though I will admit he's also cool ??, as hell ?? He fails miserably most of the time but he has his moments <33 

 I love every comic dub that makes him whiney coz like . YEAH HE IS . he's literally my pookie bear but in a platonic way 😭

what kind of music are you a fan of? 

Uhhhh lots. But I'd say that the genres I listen to the most are: Indie, K-pop, Rock, Death metal, Goth and Jazz. 

I mostly listen to these artists: Mitksi, Florence and the Machine, Ateez, Low Roar, and Billlie

What is your biggest pet peeve?

Overthinking, consider the fact that I have a sensitive memory when I did something stupid and small mistake that anyone can forget but I can't. Like this meme:

NP: So any fav fantasy media? I got into those genre recently so gimme any of them. Books, cartoons, animes, video games, anything.

Livia. It’s refreshing to write about an anxious one when most of my others are very carefree, and also her design is one of my favorites.

What’s your least favorite of your characters that you can’t bring yourself to delete?

Definitely Daichi , he was an old danganronpa OC for a roleplay in 2020. I don't use him at all now but he's too sentimental for me to delete

which of your ocs has changed the most since you first made them?

I think my character Madi (IC) has changed the most conceptually. She was an edgy ghost who wore a mask, had stitches everywhere, a bowler hat, and an umbrella with a hidden blade. And she had a ghost ferret. Nowadays, she's your average unstable inheritor to a gang with violent habits :^)

Do you like to snack late at night? If yes, what do you usually go for?

a lot of my ocs' designs stem from games i really like (and this is painfully evident in almost all of my characters on th lolol), but their characterizations/personalities heavily stem from full on catharsis and life experience ^.^" i just think its a lot of fun to mush together things i really like and have a way to express myself while telling a story / lesson id like others to hear. besides that my main inspiration was my friends, irl and online since id roleplay a lot!

since new years is coming up, mind sharing any new year resolutions?
