what brushes do u use for csp? feel free to ignore if u’ve posted it anywhere </3
I've gotten this question recently from user @trmio1 too so here are some CSP asset links for you both !
My most recent sketches have been made using this brush:
My most commonly used ink brush is this one:
And for other sketches I usually just stick to the default Real Pencil in CSP !
all I’m capable of these days is redrawing stuff
redrawing this Jak & Daxter OC once in a blue moon is a tradition of mine now

Writing inventory for insurance sucks so, so bad. Trying to remember all the shit I owned is one thing, but being reminded by the internet that most of it is out of stock, no longer exists or is barely available but at ten times the original price is a different kind of kick to the gut. And like, sketchbooks I drew in when I was 12 were worth almost fuck all monetarily, but affection-wise?? Fuck.
Holy. Fucking. Shit. ALL of your belongings??? Can you sue or something???
We're being taken care of by insurance at the moment. And the administration for the building is working on what caused the fire and what's next, so there's really no grounds to take this to court yet. Even if there were, that's not really the done thing here.
Right now I'm just trying to get through each day, as dramatic as that sounds. I can't really be thinking about the legal implications at this stage.
So, need to vent and try to journal this weekend a little because I'm gonna forget about it otherwise out of sheer brain fog.
Beginning of this week, my boyfriend and I moved into the apartment we bought a couple of months ago.
Friday this week the building burned down.
We'd lived there a total of three and a half days. Half of our stuff was still in boxes. Our names weren't even on the door yet.
Friday afternoon my boyfriend went to go pick up his bike while I worked from home. Minutes after he's gone I get a call, it's him telling me that the roof is on fire and that I need to get out. I grab my phone, credit cards and a jacket and leave. The firemen, police and press show up within seconds. We naively discuss whether it's a big deal as the fireproofing and firemen should be able to deal with it before it reaches the apartment.
Turns out there's no actual fireproofing in the building. Or not enough, anyhow.
Within minutes, the fire spreads. We're ushered down the road to escape from the smoke. After sitting around for a bit up the road we tentatively return to see that the roof of the building is just gone. Our apartment was on the top floor.
A lady out for a walk with her baby sees us sitting in the road looking disheveled and offers to shelter us for a little while in her apartment up the road. She gets us water, a phone charger and room to breathe. Afterwards we meet up with my boyfriend's mom who's in town for a meeting and head to the temporary crisis center setup in a nearby school. There's police, community and insurance people there and lots of other disheveled residents. Our info is registered and we leave to go stay with my inlaws.
It's Sunday now and they've just finished putting out the fire, according to the news. No one was hurt, thankfully. Damage assessment is next but the conclusion so far is that it's not salvageable at all. It'll have to be demolished and possibly rebuilt. Biggest housing fire in the last three decades, apparently. The fire brigade chief straight up called what happened "unforgivable".
So, while we've managed temporary housing for a little while and we're working out lists of inventory for our insurance, the future still feels uncertain and all of our belongings got destroyed in the fire. If our insurance pays out we can buy back most of the stuff but there was a ton of heirlooms and memories that we're never getting back. So while I'm extremely thankful that both of us are alive and can lean on family and friends for support, this blows a lot. We were inches from getting our lives together and settle down and now we're having to start over all of a sudden.
Been a weird three days.
So who are your favourite new minor (non-squad) NPCs in Forbidden West?
Oh man there are a lot of good ones. If we're not counting Talanah and Petra (the fact that they're not part of the Base crew makes me sad to this day) Morlund was probably my fave and his dynamic with Aloy was immaculate. I also really liked Drakka and all his dumb shenanigans. The Enduring was pretty cool and she kicked my butt. Oh and FASHAV. Best believe I fell in love with that fucker instantly :')
what’s your favorite of aloys new tenakth outfits?
For looks alone, probably the Dragoon or the Skirmisher
but for versatility and overall stats (and cos it looks cool), the Sky Climber is my go-to
Aloy’s old friends looking at her with unconditional love and adoration upon first seeing her in HFW is enough to keep me solar powered for the rest of the century
don’t think I ever posted this summary here
redraw of an old thing with Anders and my Cousland :^)
heya! do you repost your art on reddit often? i saw some art posted on the horizon subreddit i immediately recognized as yours, but wasnt sure if it was you or someone else that was posting it.
That was me, yeah! Thanks for looking out for me <3 I post my stuff on reddit once in a blue moon.
How do you feel about the idea of someone being inspired by your art style? I know some artists consider it a kind of theft; Your art style is eye candy and I was curious
Every artist gets inspired by their peers, imo, we all take a bit from each other and incorporate it into our own styles. That's been my artistic growth journey anyway, I've probably taken countless elements from other artists and used them in my art without even thinking about it. I would never claim that my art is wholly original, it's really an amalgamation of lots of stuff I've enjoyed over time.
I just think there's a delicate balance to it. You can be inspired or you can actively reference other artists' works and that's where I think the slippery slope happens. I've had another artist reference my work so heavily that it veered into copyright infringement territory (with poses and expressions being lifted straight from my drawings), but that gradually got rectified as they settled into their style and stopped referencing me directly.
What I'm saying is that taking elements from other artists is crucial to artistic development, but direct referencing/tracing should really stay in the drafts. I have sketchbooks upon sketchbooks filled with straight tracing of artists I admired when I was younger, but I would never post and claim those drawings as my own creation. There just comes a time where if someone looks at your art and goes 'that looks like [insert artist here] drew it, not you', you've probably gone a bit too heavy on the borrowing.
But yeah, in general there's absolutely nothing wrong with style inspiration, that's how art styles happen in the first place. It's just a balance of incorporation.
Finished watching Firefly for the first time the other day (including Serenity) and I loved it to pieces :’)
