I wish depression were an emergency. I wish someone could take one look at how sick I am and go “oh my god, we need to get you to a hospital!” and then when we get there I get rushed into surgery and the surgeons say “it’s a good thing you brought her here when you did, this is a seriously advanced case” and then they put me under and spend the next ten hours pulling metres of long, sticky black strands of gunk out of my body, throwing it immediately into an incinerator so that it can’t infect anyone else. And then they could stitch me back up and I could rest a few days, and when I leave the hospital everyone can see how much better I am and they congratulate me saying “well done, you’ve been so brave, I’m so glad you’re ok. I love you.”

Ariste got a new ref before Art Fight starts! Not any big changes but he needed a new ref with his new golden freckles and white lashes. His magic has developed a lot lately and it affected his appearance a bit. He's very particular about his looks so it was a bit of a shock to him but he's getting used to these small changes!

Hey, I just stumbled across some art fight attacks you did and they are amazing! Your art style is incredibly beautiful and I feel so inspired by it! I wanted to ask whether you have any tips on how to draw hair? It is such a mystery to me and the way you do it looks so stunning <3

Always happy to see you on my dash <3

AAAA THANK YOU A THOUSAND you have no idea how much it means to me to hear that my art can inspire people, I'M HONORED!!!

I'm very bad at explaining my process but I made this simple "tutorial" to show how I most of the time render hair, at least when I'm not going for something more painterly. And I use very round "bouncy" shapes!

Weight of the hair is also something I consider a lot, like how it rests on shoulders and how it falls down or floats.

I'M NOT SURE IF THAT MAKES SENSE idk how to explain it really ;w;

But I hope this is helpful!!
