hi para missyu pare ko :goober eyes:

happy birthday!!! and to solei too (is their bday tomorrow??? i forgor)...

i have a few questions lined up!

do you prefer digital or traditional art? what school subject do you find most entertaining? do you have any local fil artist you like/follow?

that's all! i hope you have a good day ahead!! LABYU <333

and here's azrael

HELLO WALIS MY PARE!!! thank you very much! Solei's birthday is actually today, we have the same birthday :)

1) I prefer digital art! I often get hung up on traditional because it's harder to work around mistakes, but sometimes I do go back to it for sketches/layout because it allows me to draw more loosely. Though digital allows me to color without limitation, and coloring is my favorite part of the process :)

2) I used to really like 21st Century Literature back when I still had it. Probably my favorite!

3) So I attended a certain cosplay convention recently, and one of the merchandise vendors there was an artist by the handle of Bastinuod!

Let me tell you, it was like love at first sight. Their stand mainly featured Filipino reimaginings of popular Studio Ghibli movies, and the Spirited Away ones obviously caught my eye because it's my favorite Ghibli film. I bought some of their stickers and prints which I cherish so dearly that I refuse to take them out of the envelope packaging.

My favorite work is the one of Chihiro in traditional filipiniana, and most of all the one where haku is a goddamn bakunawa. THE HAKUNAWA. incredible. i was quite literally gagged. please do check out the artist and show your support!

hi!!! happy happy birthday para!!!!! i don’t have a gift or anything but i do have a question!! 🎉🎉🎉

do you have any interests outside of alien stage or any hobbies you like to do that isn’t something we would already know? i hope you have a wonderful very cool day <3

hello there june!! thank you for the ask <3

for media interests outside of ALNST, i have to admit i've been a long time fan of pokemon. like, to the extent where i envision pokemon teams for every person and character i come across. my first pokemon game was emerald, and my latest one is pokemon violet! i'm also very into little nightmares, but i don't think that comes as a surprise to anyone given my main account. my other interests are insanely niche and kind of lame so i'll just leave them out.

as for hobbies... i honestly feel as though i'm a very boring person? outside of work i often partake in the usual, reading writing and drawing... i think my only other noteworthy "hobby" is playing the violin, which i don't really count as a hobby anymore considering how infrequently i get to do it. i fear i'm quite boring in this regard, i'm sorry 💔 there's currently not much time for me to explore much else, but i hope i'll get the chance to find new things eventually.

thanks for the ask june! i hope you have a wonderful very cool day too <3

I'M LATE (?) SORRY BUT HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

THANK YOU YUN <3

[solei-eclipse]

WAIT LAST ONE, WHAT BRUSH DO YOU USE??????

actually! the brush that i use is just one that i found randomly online, and it's not even meant for drawing in the way that I'm using it.

i found this on google when searching for ibis pens one day, and the wood one just captivated me with its texture for some reason. so much so that i began to use it for literally everything. i think you can tell just by the texture of my art lol

I'm curious but do tell me if I'm stepping boundaries, what field of work are you in 👀👀👀, I hear you talk about it but I've never heard of an employed alnst fan (says as if me and my partner aren't die hard fans and employed)

But also, what job would you wanna have if you could pick with no limits?

"I've never heard of an employed alnst fan" is so damn funny I'm sorry 😭

anyways, im currently working as a teacher! or more accurately a teacher's aide (I oversee a class of 12th graders). I'm occupied from 6am-5pm, but I do occasionally squeeze in some of my own stuff inbetween.

If I could pick, though, I'd really want to go into arts, maybe animating or illustration/design :)

[solei-eclipse]

Slides into your asks and slams into the wall.

Heyy Para, the birthday pookie, hope you're having a lovely one <33

Saw you were doin a q&a, so I decided to drop byyy

For my question(s), feel free to only answer one or all of them lol:

Which Alien Stage song is your favourite?

Do you have any pets? (My cat Smokey is climbing over me as I write this, he's a ragdoll hehe)

Any fun facts abt your ocs? (Solei, Jiu, Kioku, Para..)

Do you have a favourite Alien Stage video? Or even a favourite VIVINOS video in general?

Love you Para!! I'm not great with words but I just want to say I'm so grateful for meeting you and for making my time in the Alien Stage community such a blast, I genuinely believe your rambles, analyses and art has deepened my love for ALNST as a whole. Though we don't talk as much as we used to, it's always a joy seeing you on my dash, and I love looking back through your art (I can't describe how wonderful your art is, it's so beautiful it makes me want to throw up rainbows). I'm so eager to see how your ocs and their stories will progress, and I wish nothing but joy and happiness in your future 💖💖✨

HI TOON 💖 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! you're such a sweetheart and an incredibly talented person. I've said as much as I could in your birthday message, so I'll keep it short for now.

1) My favorite Alien Stage song is probably Ruler of My Heart, but I will admit Cure and All-In gave it a run for its money.

2) I used to have pets! I had a fireleg tarantula and a black scorpion named Bakugo and Aizawa respectively (I watched a few episodes of MHA but didn't get too into it, just chose those names cause I thought they fit lol). Smokey sounds so adorable :)

3) OC Fun Facts!:

Solei is ambidextrous

Jiu is anemic in the modern au

Kioku wears velcro because she's bad at tying shoelaces

Para's eyes are always closed and their resting face is an enigmatic smile. They are a somewhat confusing person

4) My favorite overall VIVINOS video is Tili Tili Bom because I love the implications and the metaphor for experimentation, but my favorite ALNST video is Black Sorrow because of the somber and dark atmosphere. And also because the shot of the meteor shower at the end was so mesmerizing.

Thanks again Toon 💖💖

The thing you find hardest to draw?

Currently drawing a oc who has a lot of ruffles on their clothes and taking mental damage because ruffles are intimidating to me.

Also feet and shoes

Oh man. So many things are still hard for me to draw 😭 I feel your pain, sometimes you just wanna dress your OCs up pretty but that comes with the herculean task of drawing a million little details. I also agree, feet and shoes are hard for me to draw well which is why they're so simplified in my art style.

For me, though, the hardest thing to draw by far is side profiles... my one true weakness...

[solei-eclipse]

For the ask thing, are you pursuing something in art for a career or is it just a hobby for you? Your lighting and shading are always so delicious!!

What’s your favorite drawing you’ve done?

geo!! im so delighted

as much i'd like to, im not actually pursuing art as a career. just a hobby on the side for me, and something that i utilize as a source of money sometimes (commissions)! thank you for your kind words <3 it means a lot to me

i don't know if i have a favorite drawing, to be honest. whenever i finish something im often dissatisfied and i have to leave it be for a while in order to be at peace with it.

though, if i had to pick, the ones that stand out to me are...

this piece of jiu purely because i liked the colors and because i vividly remember banging it out on my phone before my break ended at work

these luka ones because i liked how i rendered his hands and sleeves

and these ancient arts just because i was so taken aback by the positive reception. i was kind of embarrassed of them and genuinely wasn't expecting people to like it or be affected by it at all, but the response really warmed me :)

Para Para hello we miss you Para 🫂 random question that came to mind, what are some favorite songs of yours outside of Alien Stage?

blue. I typed out a whole answer for this and it didn't upload because of my internet issues. kms. but thank you sm for the ask!! <3 I MISS YOU GUYS

in terms of music taste mine is pretty shit (general consensus of the loved ones in my proximity) but i love listening to the crane wives! a song that has been tearing at me for days is Black Hole Fantasy because it's just insanely real

other songs in my current circulation are: american teenager by ethel cain, love me not by ravyn lenae, impacto by enjambre & lo blondo, and i will by mitski (my favorite mitski song)!
