Happy new year everyone!!

Here are my favourites from 2017~ The first 4 are my favourite designs of the year and the last 4 are my favourite illustrations of the year. Although I hadn’t posted much on tumblr, 2017 was a great year art-wise for me as I made a lot of new original merch and experimented with style more~ I will have a lot more do to this year though! Sorry I’ve been so inactive here and I hope to be more active this year :>

Long time no see!

Is it just me or are other people having a hard time keeping up on tumblr? I have mostly migrated to twitter and instagram but I don’t want to leave here since the art is so good ; A ;  My apologies ><  

Since last year I have finished school and become a NEET so hopefully I’ll have more time to be active here? I’ll at least post my faves from last year that I haven’t yet ; v ;  Thanks to those who have still stuck around!!

Hello! I saw your booth at animethon and just wanted to say I LOVED IT! Your yoi art makes me so happy :)

Oh my goodness I am so sorry for the late (by like 4 months) reply!!!!! Thank you so much! I actually shared tables with acetone91 (deviantart) so you might have been looking at their stuff since I don’t actually have any posters for yoi, just charms. But regardless, thank you for dropping by!

thanks for responding! i have another question: what do you use to draw and color, and do you have any coloring tips? much appreciated ❤

No problem! I use almost exclusively Paint Tool SAI, which has very smooth pens/brushes for lineart and the perhaps the best blending ever. It's also easy to use compared to other programs. Colouring-wise....I'm afraid I don't have much good advice to offer ><; Colouring (particularly shading and lighting) is something I struggle quite a bit with and I usually end up sticking with flats as a result. Most of how I colour is based on experimentation and trying out things I see in other artist's works that I like. For instance, I found that I liked the pink/warm hue of others' drawings so I tried it out and I quite much like it. I would suggest that experimentation is very important to finding style(s) that you enjoy and are comfortable with!I hope this answers your question somewhat...? If you have any other questions just let me know ; v ;

who

[potaira-blog]

Old Xian weibo translations: “I rarely post my personal opinions online, but please give me a chance to express myself. Along with having more followers, my readership now includes all sorts of people, making it harder to get along with everyone in the netsphere.

Comments under my post about my illness started appearing ‘what use are you, why are you still not updating.’ This kind of people appeared, along with people who posted doujin images without author permission.

Drawing is very hard work, but many people don’t understand.  I need to put a lot of my heart into every character, every character contains my love for them. otherwise I wouldn’t be able to draw all of these stories. Don’t keep guessing which character I am more biased towards, I won’t blacklist someone because of their favorite CP (pairing), but because they don’t respect me.

Those people who judge me based on something someone said, you can unfollow me, I don’t want to draw for people like that, I only want to draw for the people who like me.”

Image below: lol, blacking out the author forever (slang: fuck the author), so what if you created a few characters, your pride is over the moon *shrugging emojicons*
