ever since I saw that commission you got from meiri i have often thought about it i must know everything about these characters pls 🙏🙏

They're from a project my gf is workign on!! Adan and Eben. Adan is the newly-crowned king of a bloodline marked by an incurable illness, and Eben is his appointed physician. When Adan inevitably dies, Eben will be executed. They hate each other! :)

I mostly have concept sketches - here they are discussing Eben's medical findings.

Hey, I just saw that you uploaded your older, androgynous character maker/picrew again, and I just wanted to say thank you!! I love and use the new one as well, please don’t misunderstand me, and I do see the style (and quality) difference, but the older one means a lot to me (because I designed almost all the characters from my books with it) and I’m super grateful to see it back up.

So, thank you so much for both of them!

(Side note - I love the head/face covering options in the new/windswept one. Thank you, truly.)

I'm so glad!! I had no idea that anyone cared about that old picrew - I took it down because all I could see were things I wanted to improve, so receiving messages asking where it went was a real surprise! Knowing that it means something to even a few people makes me feel proud of it again, and happy to see it being used.

Thank you so much for this message :')

I can't even tell you the amount of joy I had seeing the variety of head coverings in your picrew, especially the niqabs and tied back scarf! I love your art, and that I was introduced to it through such a lovely picrew :]

I'm so glad!! 😭 Having a variety of head coverings was really important to me when I was making the picrew, so it makes me really happy to hear that I've reached my target audience :')

Hey, I just started making some of my ocs with your picrew and I absolutely love it! I was wondering if you're comfortable with people making small edits like facial markings, ear-shapes, and horns that aren't in the base picrew. If not, thats totally fine, just figured I'd ask. Thanks!

That's fine with me! So long as you credit me/link the original picrew if you post it :)

hey i love your picrew! you should totally add unnatural hair colors too ^^

Yeah! Adding unnatural skin colors and hair colors is something I definitely want to do... It just takes so much time because there are so many connected parts and options ;u;

Because of the way I've made the picrew, creating a new skin color, for example, would require me to also make new color files for every single nose type / lip type / eye type. The hair alone has close to 100 options between the different sections (I think it's 94?), which means that every new color will require me to create and color ~100 new files, which exhausts me to think about...

So, it may take me a while, especially because I have to motivate myself first ;u;
