Your colors are so ggrggrgrgrgrggr. If you don’t mind me asking how do you pick palettes?

Thank you!! Tbh i haaate picking colors, i wont finish pieces a lot of the time bcs i dont want to try and pick colors for them (e.i. the mouthwashing one i just posted i drew back in october but left it to rot in my wips until recently cuz i didnt wanna color it lol)

I take a lot of inspo from gig posters which have a lot of vivid colors usually since they’re for grabbing your attention, i keep in mind color combos and sometimes write them down to use later on. I try to most of the time to at least slap some color onto a piece (even if its just the canon color palettes of those characters) and then come back another time to mess around with it.

Hiya! Do you know if you'll be at London mcm comicon this year? I'd love to see you and your art <3

Hi! Thank youuu <33 And no unfortunately no MCM for me for the time being, i do love traveling but I don’t think i’ll be doing much overseas cons

Your art is so expressive, i love your style. I struggle a lott with composition and colors, would you have any tips on that?

Thank you! I take a lot of composition inspiration from posters:

studying and browsing through them usually lets me pocket some composition ideas for future use or brainstorm some for current pieces. When i'm having an especially hard time coming up with comps i'll try to sketch out really small shitty thumbnails-- no idea held back, even if it sucks, until i strike something. Composition is the most important part for me so a comp idea is usually what kickstarts the art piece

Colors are similarly inspired by loud poster art, but i really struggle with them! Half the reason i don't post a lot (besides work) is that i can't figure out the colors for my wips 😅

How did you feel about the sheer levels of ridiculousness of the ending for Yakuza 4 lmfao

Any plans on restocking trigun merch and prints this year? 🙏

The Trigun stuff labeled last chance in the shop wont be restocked again but I hopefully will make some more trigun stuff!

[cranity]

i know theyre not available during this shop opening, but do you think youd sell the mini trigun stand/ charms again at some point? i missed out on them last time they were in stock and would love to get one

Probably not! Though I think I left some at my parents house, so if I find that leftover stock i'll put them up!

Hi! Can I check if your shop is still open? I saw your tumblr post announcing it but the website still has its "Shop closed" banner. Thanks!

Hm thats odd! It is open and the banner should be saying something else— i’ll have to update it when i get home
