Bob's House
The day of the date Rudi had arranged with Marisa and Akva came. As planned, they went to eat at Bob's House, the restaurant of Marisa's family. Rudi was their waiter that night, and once they were done ordering, Marisa began talking.
Marisa: Ok so like, my parents opened this place a few years before I was born, when they first arrived in this country back in the early 90s. But they weren't doing super well financially, so they tried rebranding when I was around five, and since our logo is a pineapple, I suggested we rename the place to Spongebob's House. Obviously, they couldn't name the place after Spongebob, so they shortened it to Bob, and so here we are.
Akva: Ah, ok...By the way, who's that weird guy with the thick accent that's just bothering people for cigarettes?
Marisa: Oh, that's Anatoly, but everyone calls him Tolya. He's a guy who moved to San Mysh from Russia at around the same time my parents also moved here. He's been hanging around since day one, except for that six months period where he went to prison and almost got deported. He offers people to pay for their meal in exchange of cigs, but these day less and less people smoke so it's getting harder.
Akva: Uh, so we're just gonna skip the "went to jail for six months" part?
Marisa: Yeah, got caught with some drugs on him. But he's an integral part of the restaurant and our life to the point he's even my godfather, so my parents really went to bat for him. I don't know all the details though, I couldn't have been older than 10 when this went down.
Akva: I don't believe he's old enough to have been an adult in the 90s, my parents were teenagers back then and they don't look as young as him.
Marisa: Oh, that' just because he used to be a vampire for a while, got bitten shortly after moving to San Myshuno. He actually liked being one, but 2-3 years ago he accepted to do a drug trial for an experimental cure when he was really desperate for money and it worked.
It seems like every sentence that came out of Marisa's mouth was always wilder than the last, and who knows what she could say now that Rudi had poured them both a glass of wine. As Akva was about to start talking about her life, they heard the sound of plates being broken coming from the first floor, and a woman yelling in Tagalog.
Marisa: That's my parents. They don't get along very well, but they also don't believe in divorce. This is all because of our oldest line cook, his name is Claude, the guy you saw walk in earlier with the big red sweater and long beard. But they don't fire him cause he's been there since the beginning and he's extremely good.
Akva: What did he do?
Marisa: My mom.
Akva: OH!
Marisa: Yeah, he's my actual dad. But we all pretend like it's not the case. Also, the guy with long curly hair is my older brother, his name is Dante. Who, as far as we know, is my "father" actual son.
Akva sat there, in awe of how much of a mess the life at Bob's House seems to be. To think the one thing she wanted for her next relationship was for it to be drama free compared to the first two. Well, maybe Marisa is great and all and not messy like everyone she knows...and to be fair, she said nothing about her brother, so he might be normal too...But damn, this seems to be too much. Well, at least, she probably can't get her pregnant or won't shoot her if she were to break up.
Akva: By the way, might sound prejudiced of me, but at first I thought Anatoly was also a line cook. I don't know why.

Hey, so this question might sound completely dumb, but as someone who has no clue about art and especially digital art I was wondering: what creates this texture (is this even the right word) in your WIPs that makes it look like the colours are filled in with pencil? Is it a brush or a filter or something? Idk it just looks really cool and fits the vibe of your art perfectly so I thought to ask... 💕
Hello, Myrtle!
Oh, thank you so much for asking and no, the question is great, don't worry!
I guess you're talking about this grainy effect on my WIPs, which is more prominent in WIPs since they are flat colours, but in fact, this effect is present in all my drawings. In full render results, it's not so noticeable because the heavy render hides these grains.
As an example:
I use the grainy texture with a Color Dodge overlay, which creates these effects and many other textures that imitate real paper and traditional drawings.
Personally, for me, it's crucial to keep the physical touch of the actual painting as if it were done on paper. Therefore, I use paper texture, grain texture, several scratches texture, etc.
If you ask me WHY, I have a very simple answer—my prime inspiration for the arts is the romanticism movement, more precisely, pre-Raphaelites such as John Everett Millais, John Collier, Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti, John William Waterhouse, etc, and baroque artists such as Caravaggio, Jan Brueghel the Elder, Claude Lorrain, etc.
Some of the works from the list above that are the main inspiration for me:
So I hope this answers your question and I got rightly what did you mean ;D
