watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back

Who in the Star Wars universe, do you look forward to writing about?

Ooo, this is a hard one. I absolutely ADORE The Mandalorian but I’d have to say I look forward to writing about Poe Dameron or Kylo Ren / Ben Solo.

do you have any good references for bigger body types?

Yes!

I use a fat model tag here on Tumblr. You can sometimes search by model name in my DA Archive if you know a certain model has a body type you are looking for. Here's a guide to everyone though I'm never tagged by name:

My site gallery has a sort by body type though it's a WIP on how I will label and tag them. I can also recommend fatphotoref.com which you will need to apply to to access. It's a community based resource run by Ruby so please be patient if you request access. 🥰 Here's a few just to have in this post, too!

honestly i think emma and paul still should’ve just shown up in bogshollow too. crabby tavern maid and boring printing press man. i would’ve personally eaten that up, no questions asked.

Brain wouldn't shut up until i drew Joey and Lauren as the iconic Malfina and Clark. Witchcraft SMP is very very fun :D

(closeups of the sillies below, quality is very crunchy bc phone doodles & poor canvas size choices whoops)

It’s honestly criminal that I haven’t explained the Laureanne dynamic until now. They get together at the end of Season 1 :)

Hey Lauren! What fandom is your favorite to write for?

I LOVE writing for Harry Potter because I know it the best, but i don’t know what my favorite would be. For know, lets say Harry Potter. 🤟🏼❤️

Your artstyle feels like a mix of stop motion artstyles (specifically laika and Wendell & Wild), a handful of western cartoons and illustrations from advertisements, along with various children’s book illustrations.

I really like your work, the abstract look is really unique and refreshing among most fandom art. I love Hamilton too but I’d love to see your take on other fandoms or whatever ideas you have in your head.

I might as well take this ask as an opportunity to request something, as you seem to be taking those at the moment. I think it’d be cool if you made a lineup of the Hamilton cast in your style.

Here’s a random example of what I mean that I got off of deviantart (by Cryej)

Ok, first off, thank you SO MUCH for your compliment. It really means so much to me. :D

Secondly, of course I can make that for you! I doubt I can do every character but I did try my best

Some Hamilton lineups ^_^

(theres too many outfits so i only drew each character once)

Hi! I was wondering if you had more sharable posts with references for drawing fat people. I managed to find two posts and then a few with a single photo of a fat model. It's very difficult to find representation of fat people in general, most of my attempts on this website feeling like an hour long treasure hunt, so I'd love to share more posts of yours with those reference photos if possible!

Sure thing! Here's a collection of refs. Also on DeviantArt, Patreon, and my site gallery you can search by model name and there's a guide on DA for who is who. (The site gallery will also let you sort by body type, this is kind of a WIP). My Tumblr is usually tagged with the model names too so if you don't want to endless scroll that might help narrow it down. I also use the fat model tag usually, too. If you aren't familiar yet with FatPhotoRef.com def check that out! @fugitiverabbit runs it and it's a fantastic resource for artists. Happy drawing!
