an ame! 🌾
some updated character paints for the coven oven graphic novel. ✨
Hi! I just discovered your art and its stunning! I was just wondering if there was any chance of the 4 Hobbit prints being back instock soon? Thank you
hi! thank you so much!
YES. there are a few things sold out right now, i think im going to put the store on vacation for a bit then come back with a big restock and store update in february!
4 for the weirdly specific artist asks (if you’re still answering them)!
i am!!!
4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw
hm ok so there are characters with big muscles that i love dearly but rarely draw for two reasons 1. muscles are hard and 2. i usually shoot myself for reference so if i wanna put a character (that has a wicked different anatomy than me) into a certain pose or get a specific angle it’ll take FOREVER for me to find all the right reference instead of just taking a picture of myself
8 or 10 for the ask game?
i’ll do 8 since i just did 10!
8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in
hmm i used to have a graphic novel idea about witches and ghosts in 18th century scotland (very much inspired by my outlander obsession at the time). i think it could be fun to return to someday though, i even think it could be a prequel to the coven oven in some ways if we follow family lines back that far. i always loved the way cassandra clare did the infernal devices prequel, it’s fun to go that far back and trace personality traits we’re familiar with to ancestors in a completely different environment and time period.
10 for the art asks please!
10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw
socks! they can add such a pop of color and personality, and they take two seconds, and you can make them fuzzy or striped or patterned anyway you want! SOCKS!!!
Weirdly Specific Artist Ask Game
Didn't see a lot of artist ask games, wanted to make a silly one.
(I wrote this while sick out of my mind last year and it's been collecting dust in my drafts, I might as well let it run free) 1. Art programs you have but don't use
2. Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)
3. What ideas come from when you were little
4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw
5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself
6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)
7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate
8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in
9. What are your file name conventions
10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw

12. Easiest part of body to draw
13. A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing
14. Any favorite motifs
15. *Where* do you draw (don't drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth)
16. Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing

28. Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines)
29. Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically
30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated
this is cool ..! idk when ill have time to answer but feel free to hmu with some of these numbers
give me a wizard with an anxiety disorder and a very round frog and i WILL get attached
Hey, I’ve seen that you use an iPad for your art. Do you use a screen protector, and which would you recommend? I’be just bought an iPad for digital art, and have found a lot of different answers!
i don’t use a screen protector but that’s definitely up to personal preference! i’ve heard from a few artists that it helps with the transition from traditional to digital to have a paper texture screen protector. i ordered one a couple years ago though and it mostly threw me off cause i had already gotten used to drawing without one. so id recommend experimenting around with them to see what you like best!
