Heyo I Know You Said You're On Hiatus But Just Wanted To Check If You're Doing Well! I Get It Tho, My

Feeling really unsatisfied with the lack of anbai smut like, y'all, you have a perfectly good service top and a femdom(?) right there with years of weird and complicated history and you are letting it just SIT THERE-

Not exactly guilty gear but some of blazblue has star wars inspiration Mori mentions it in an interview here

In some of Jin's early designs he even has swords that look like light sabers lol

I can definitely see that at play here (especially in the first one on the left)

Got worried there was someone reposting your art on ao3 but then I looked at the username lmao

While I'm here though, just wanna say that I love your art! Your style is definitely in my top 10 for favorites. Please continue to be your amazing self and keep promoting the anbai agenda ❤️

*wheeze* yep that's me! Don't worry about it

But thank you so much! I'm still trying to figure out what exactly I want from my style? But I think I'm slowly getting there, just sorta taking bits and pieces from here and there, but mostly trying to just have fun with the process of making something I really want, y'know?

I'll keep trying my best! Having relatively small-ish amount of the content you desperately crave on this side of the fandom is a real motivator for creativity, huh?

Touchy feely 20 years later

in another chatty mood atm so feel free to ask me anything

HII I LOVE UR ART!!!!

are there specific things u keep in mind when doing lineart? im trying to improve in that field n ur lines r just SO CRISP ✨✨✨

YAAAAAAAY LINEART QUESTION!

Don't know how well I'll be at explaining this since it's kind of become second nature to me, but usually I try to vary my line weights and do a lot of more gestural line strokes? If I want something more thinner/delicate I try to go for a more lighter touch, and vice versa if I want a more thicker line, yada yada all that stuff. But even if you use a brush that isn't really affected by pressure and stays the same, I'd overall recommend being loose and confident with your strokes, even if they're just laying down straight lines. Don't think too much, just go with the flow, try not to be too rigid, that whole thing. (also stabilization is your friend! Don't be afraid to mess with it however you want)

I also take a lot of inspiration from artists like Ulysse Malassagne or Matias Bergara who have a very rough and loose lineart style as well (although their lineart is a bit more thinner than what I usually do, and they also have the benefit of using a traditional brush pen)

But if you look closely enough you can see where they keeps a lighter touch for small details vs where they add just a liiiittle more pressure for that line variation, and how overall loose it is.

It's more obvious in La Cachette's animation lineart too

TLDR: Keep it loose and gestural, don't be afraid to vary or break it up here and there, sometimes I go over some lines to make it thicker just because it looks more interesting to me, and experiment! Think about an artist you like, do a study on how they do their lineart, try a new brush pen and just scribble on the canvas, fool around with settings and brushes you've never tried before, just try to have fun with it. I've found that sometimes, mindless nonsense doodling can produce some of the best art you've ever made.

@20funnypuppies SOMEONE FINALLY CAUGHT THE STUBBLE

@grymmdark Absolutely.

hello!!! I love AnBai and your work with all my heart! This is exactly how I saw them, but I couldn't implement them! THANKS FOR THAT!!

I recently realized that AnBai really remind me of the characters from Lilo & Stitch by David Kawena and Nani Pelekai. It seems to me that there is a similar dynamic in their relationship (only their homeland has not been destroyed). What do you think?

Honest to god I have genuinely thought about doing some Lilo and Stitch stuff for them, although it was mainly in the context of Baiken and Delilah as Nani and Lilo (Manager Vampire, record player, that sorta thing) But now that you mention it, Anji as David does make a lot of sense. I think if they were in a more modern world he'd probably go out of his way to make sure she had opportunities for jobs, get her to take breaks when needed, just generally be there for support without asking much in return... ...except for maybe one date, if she's up for it.

can you draw millia and/or elphelt… girlfriends yk

"Take a look at my girlfriend~"
