a comic from 2020 based on the a3 stage play take on stranger. in the stage version, zero gives herself up to jon to protect a wounded wolf, and returns his cloak to him as a goodbye. as she bends down to hand the cloak over, the scene is blocked on stage as if she's kissing him (i have to assume this; there is simply no other reason for the way they were posed lol). needless to say, i lost my mind!

Hey I just wanted to say that I came across your baroryu pre pre pre-slash comic where they talk about kazuma a couple months ago and I have Not stopped thinking about it. I am completely obsessed with the dynamic on display and how you drew them/their expressions and *everything* so. Thank you for putting that out into the world haha I'm sure it'll continue to consume my thoughts for months to come ✨

AHHH thank you so much!! i'm so glad you enjoyed it 😭

hi!! Your art is incredible and awesome... not sure how to say it otherwise but it's super tasty looking lol 🫶

I was wondering if you have ever posted what brushes do you use ? I am always on the lookout for nice brushes! Also if you've got any tips for inking, I'd appreciate it enormously. No worries if not! 💕

hi, thanks so much!

i mostly just use whatever defaults came with clip studio paint. for inking, my go-to is the the default marker pen brush (under the marker tab in pens), but sometimes i'll swap to the calligraphy one (should be in the pen tab), or this brush but with the pen pressure turned off. just depends on how i'm feeling about whatever i'm inking. when i want to add some texturing when toning, i use stuff like the spray or diagonal line brushes (again, should be included in CSP), i just make an eraser version of them so i can also use them on layer masks.

as for inking tips ... i don't have any hard and fast "always do x for y" advice but i rambled a little about how i approach it.

this first point is actually pretty straightforward, it's just to look at inking techniques by artists you like, think about what makes them work so well in their context, and try them out for yourself. this isn't about plagiarizing art styles but more about understanding how other artists choose to stylize certain things in their work, and seeing what works and what doesn't for you personally. sometimes it's through looking at other people's stylizations that you get a better understanding of how you want to approach translating this actual 3d object (people, clothes, background details, whatever) into your own art as well. as you try out various techniques, maybe you find that some of them work well with your own style, and some of them don't and you stop incorporating those. it's all a constant work in progress. over time you can adjust how you use them in a way that fits your own drawing methods and workflows and they just start to come more naturally to you. of course, they may and should change a lot along the way because now it's something that's part of your own style. in essense, work on developing a good eye for these things and be thoughtful about what you want to convey and how.

just as an example, daiya no ace by terajima yuji definitely has to be up there for me in terms of influences, the way he approached body lines and clothing folds as a way to convey movement and posing made a lightbulb turn on in my head back when i was still reading it.

not a comprehensive list, but other manga i just like looking at off the top of my head - rookies (morita masanori), anything by yamashita tomoko but i really recommend the night beyond the tricornered window for something that's easily accessible, anything by asada nemui (please check for content warnings for their works first though!), all-rounder meguru (endo hiroki), urasawa naoki's works, dungeon meshi (kui ryoko), witch hat atelier (shirahama kamome), yotsuba&! (azuma kiyohiko), a bride's story (mori kaoru), i recollect love (moegi yukue), the later works of tojitsuki hajime (unfortunately a lot of is now out of print and not accessible online but i managed to get all their books bc their commitment to crosshatching shaved heads each time impressed me so much LMAOSJDsd) etc, etc.

this second thing is much vaguer and harder to quantify but ... honestly just draw a lot and see what feels good to your hand. inking and art styles in general are fluid things. so much of what inking comes down to, to me, is just drawing the lines that in a way that feels good to me. that only really comes from doing it a lot (not saying i'm a hardcore artist or anything lol just that i've been drawing on and off for a while now) and, well, getting a sense of what you like doing. sometimes you might look at a detail you finished that looks really good but feels like a happy accident, and it kinda is, but it's also just as much of the things you've internalized over time. combining the first point (developing your eye and a sense of thoughtfulness about inking) and the second (getting experience through developing your muscle memory) is basically it.

idk if any of this made sense lol but hope some of it helps!!!!!

i'm extremely one and done when it comes to fanart—i get one idea i think is cool, stare without blinking at CSP like a madman until i finish drawing it, and probably won't make any more for that fandom unless i'm truly gripped by its Yaoi (see: destiny, paralive, a3 currently; tales intermittently), so honestly thanks for sticking around all this time :) absolutely no promises or predictions as to what pit i will resignedly fall into next year!

[fishuus]

i think i literally only drew 12 things this year lmao

the omi and taichi pieces are from my a3 sideblog which is 99% omitai

looking at the akyr 4th anni pics again my opinions largely have not changed

another year another pass at showing us where the hell iori's tattoos are even with an open shirt tease. also i refuse to believe this man works out enough to have even a hint of a six pack. anime can't fool me on this one

hokusai usually has such specific silhouettes that work for him i'm still baffled this is what they ended up running with. the top looks fine but it's too traditional of a suit to be paired with whatever the hell is going on below. like is the guy really wearing oversized pleated cargo pants with boots?? rare fashion L for him sorry

satsuki is perfectly tacky and overstyled, no notes. except to say that satsuki is cute

zen is fine and this is a surprisingly low-key and basic look for reo but i guess it works ok within the rigid boundaries of akyr matching so strictly

wait. i'm looking at the pictures again and one of iori's lapels is zebra patterned? there is truly something so deeply wrong with this man <3

would you ever consider drawing chungsung? or do you have any interest in him as a character lol

hilariously, i did actually have a wip of him lying on the ground being Extremely Chungsung a while back that i was dragging my ass on completing, so when the official paralive twitter account posted his bday pic of him rolling around on those tiles i had a good laugh and figured i didn't need to finish my wip anymore. wish i still had the file so i could at least post it here for you, but ah well.

i have to admit, he doesn't super interest me as a character personally (just not to my tastes) although i am a general enjoyer of his design and think he is absolutely one of the funniest guys in the franchise.

but i also draw paralive characters kind of randomly based on inspiration so if i ever have any good chungsung ideas i'll draw 'em 🫡
