Sooooo just to kind of try and say this once for those who find themselves here because of any reposts, please DO NOT repost my drawings 💀

Some people are sweet to ask permission and even more kinder to respect when I say no 💖

Note: I’ve only ever given permission for ppl to voice act or translate my persona comics and that’s it.

At this point I plan to archive/delete some original OC comics or tutorials from here soon because I’m too tired to explain each time why it needs context from the original posts. Also damn those drawings are so old and outdated?? 🙈💦

For those who have been with me from the old days and enjoyed my older content, I appreciate y’all and I hope you guys enjoy my current art down the line.

if i wanted to start playing the persona series do you recommend that i start on persona one, or can i start wherever,, orrrr

Ahh I actually never played the first two, I started on p3 because Karen lent me her gaming stuff and she introduced me to the series. By the time I finished P4, P5 was getting announced so I pretty much lucked out timing wise.

I don’t think it really matters which one you start with? I believe they are all different stories and characters, just similar game play.

Hi there! I was wondering if you're going to AX'17 and if you are, what booth will you be at in Artist's Alley? I love your work (●´∀｀●)

AAAAh Yes! I will be at AX again this year waaaay in the back at booth A46 with Karen again. Haven’t made a nice map yet since I’m cramming between work and new prints (will probably make a poll for inventory because I’m not sure what’s popular since I live in a cave)

I will make a better post as the day creeps closer, I really look forward to seeing everyone again <3

Glad you're back~

Awww you guys are so sweet. I feel like I just came back from the moon, it’s seriously been quite a while!

I don’t normally share my personal life but I feel I owe you guys an explanation for sudden disappearances and unanswered mail. I am pretty close to finishing college and I’m not the best multi-tasker. I hope to be able to be more consistent on tumblr this year, but I just wanted to thank everyone for sticking around for so long while I carved my gravestone for finals. *blows many gross kisses at all of you*

Hot damn your art is fab!! Do you have a favorite set of brushes, or do you usually create your own?

Thanks!

I try to create my own sometimes using the default photoshop brushes with a few adjustments I learned from other artists for harder or textured edged linework which is pretty good.

Recently I've been using Kyle's which are really nice inking brushes and Freden has some good ones as well. 

Then again if you're looking for great free brushes, I really like Cale Atkinson's brushes, the textures are fantastic. I also really like stumpy pencil and I've been using that for a long time which is free as well.

I know I have a ton more brushes I use but I really do have to hunt around. To be honest there is a lot of artists who are very generous with sharing their brushes and I owe them my soul.

Hi! Um I was just wondering how you've become so proud of your artwork? You're one of my inspirations, and I'm really, really insecure about my art. I really have a hard time seeing what I did that's good, even if people tell me... So um I was just wondering if you've ever had to deal with feelings like this, and how you handle them. Um yeah

I think it’s perfectly normal to feel insecure about your own work, I still don’t know how to take compliments it’s pretty embarrassing!

I would say try not to tear yourself down so hard, there’s no ‘perfect’ artwork level you have to reach, I think the important thing is to draw until you’re comfortable. I’m usually more proud of my work when I know I did my best. I also learned the more fun I was having really affects my work and in fact makes me love a piece even more when I have the right attitude and energy to it. 

Another thing I’m working on it taking those compliments, it feels weird to accept them because modesty keeps sitting on my shoulders, but sometimes you just got to say to yourself, “hell yeah I can draw” and keep on going.

Dear Miss Peach (I've assumed you as a Miss, if you do not like this pronoun then please disregard it), seeing your art on my dash makes me very happy. Seeing you on my dash makes me very happy. You make me very happy. Thank you for existing, you are a lovely human being. <33

hhahaha Gosh Thank you! >3<

I feel cute when people call me peach related nicknames, because peaches look like butts and butts are cute.

I go on tumblr. for a couple minutes. and I'm still talking about butt. I need to go back to work.

[peachymints]

was that a gif of yuzuru hanyu falling on his ass cause i would know that booty anywhere

me too.

it's not fair.

[peachymints]

ok but how do you draw the butt. This is a serious question the world may depend on it

Just look at it and you'll become the butt.

I'm a butt.

[peachymints]

it's not because you don't post art often or anything it's just because I love your art so much.

jFSJghs why Thank you <3

Can I still marry Yuzuru though.

[peachymints]

whenever you post art I literally feel like the trolls from frozen when they realize anna is there

Will I be forced to marry a hot son whose in love with ice named yuzuru

not really sorry for the 99% reblogs on yuzuru lately

[peachymints]

Can you please draw some disney princess gender bends-kyaa?

I did that a long time ago. I just couldn't stop back then... I kind of miss it

'I just like drawing prince clothes' should be my excuse for all my genderswaps.

[peachymints]

im going to jump the gun and ask you what your favorite yaoi comics are ;)

Do you not want me to shut up

I have a lot... bookmarked... I don't have favorites, I have a bookstore.

[peachymints]

Hey! Can you make a drawing of Gumball is a vampire? : D That was muscta Marshall Lee and turned into a vampire. :)

Actually, I think I've drawn that already a long time ago because I'm such a nerd. 

omg I have no idea what's up with me and men in turtlenecks

[peachymints]

Hey could you do a small tutorial on how to draw long hair? And maybe if you have time like mermaid tails? (It's hard drawing OC's cause I can't draw)

Tutorials for Hair is actually really complex for me to explain and I’m actually not sure how to put it professionally. But I did find this in my old bookmarks for basic knowledge of how to draw long hair.

As for the mer-tails, I don’t think I draw the best tails but I do have a couple little things I do when I draw merfolk. 

⭐️EDIT: Please DO NOT repost my tutorial drawing anywhere! I just wanted to share my method here and I don’t feel comfortable with this drawing alone being spread outside of this post. Thanks for understanding!

⭐️EDIT 2: I’ve underestimated how many times this particular drawing is being reposted and it’s getting hard to get them all removed by myself 😞 if anybody sees this original post after finding it out in the wild, feel free to report those reposts without messaging me, I’d really appreciate it 🖤

You don’t have to proportion that way but I’ve been taught in school to draw the body of the tail larger to create a sort of appealing asymmetrical balanced figure. The way to balance out the top and bottom is through the hair as well, so maybe the bottom can be super extravagant and you have a large head of hair to balance it out (One example is Chris Sanders’ work, he can balance the figure really well as exaggerating asymmetrical proportions). It’s all cartoon styled so we can stretch shapes a lot! 

A lot of times mermaid tails designs are very “Ariel inspired” but it is interesting to research actual mammals and aquatic creatures. If you are trying to create a mystical magical tail, there’s nothing wrong grabbing a couple qualities from a sea dragon and combining it to a dolphin tail. Mermaid tails don’t have to be as realistic as a whale’s tail, but they probably swim like aquatic animals. Either way it’s a good base for structure if you find yourself stuck with coming up with a tail shape.

I hope this helps a little bit! Just keep practicing and referencing!
