oh my poor lord
established xiaoven comic commissioned by a client 👹🍃
purely curious but did you close your nsfw twt? I went to go look at your art again and I couldn’t find it anywhere 🥲
oh i did close it. i ran into the problem of too many minors trying to get in there and it made me uncomfortable to post anything too nsfw for public viewing. i'm planning to keep every nsfw art i make in the future locked behind patreon when i launch it in around a month or two.
are you ever going to make your royalty au into a comic? im so invested!!
it will probably never be a full comic because it's very very big 💀 i could Try to write it but i don't know lmao I cursed myself by thinking i just wanted to draw cute clothes but I ended up making a political plot for each nation
some design notes still for that arranged marriage/royalty au ive been brainrotting about for weeks 🫠
any chance you would share your arranged marriage/royalty au? maybe just a description? ;w;
have fun with my 3am notes on this au. this is only a portion of it, the xv centric part 💀 i wrote stuff down for sumeru and inazuma as well
prince venti and general xiao speed paints from that one arranged marriage/royalty au ive been making
Hello! Will your xiao birthday art be available as a print? 🥺
i'll make it available in my inprint by june. it's meant to match venti's.
If it's ok may i ask advice with color palettes? I love the colors in your art sm :(
i wish i could give a proper answer for this but i honestly just figure out things as i go 💀 what i tend to do is apply one solid color to the entire canvas/panel then base all colors off there so they harmonize like for example a solid coolish green means ill color everything with that tone so it 'matches'
Idk if thisll be offensive or not (im new to the online art community tbh)
But your art style is litterally amazing and i am actively aiming to have a similar style like you one day!!
And i was wondering if you could tell me who inspired you ? I would love to know who you studied from so i can as well. 💕💕💕
Again, if this is offensive you can ignore me lol
thank you! hmmm there's no specific one inspo tbh. for me personally i developed my preferred way of drawing things by figuring out what i liked to do so it was a lot of trial and error and testing out techniques over the years. i figured out that while rendering is fun i dislike the end result and prefer looking at simpler styles and flatter colors, and i figured out that i tend to care a lot more about the narrative than the overall aesthetic of a piece. although right now style wise i'm revisiting old japanese woodblock prints and the comic works of Moebius and Hergé since they have the linework and coloring style i want to emulate in my own pieces.
I am in love with your xiaoven comics <3 I adore seeing them on my timeline they fill me with so much serotonin. Are you ever going to compile them in a zine? I would buy it so fast, your xiaoven is everything to me!
thank u! that was the og plan but im afraid i won't be able to do it for a long time since i have comms and im working on a graphic novel this year 🥲 maybe next year once i have more free time!
