whst brushes do u use🐹
lately my art posted here has been done in SAI2 using its new scatter brush engine! Here's a good selection of sai2 pencil brushes, I think I'm using one of these but not sure which one exactly https://www.deviantart.com/marcianek/art/Sai2-Custom-Pencil-Brushes-593860781
Do you have any tips for studying anatomy?
I still feel like I struggle with it quite a bit haha. but my advice is pretty general stuff... looking at and drawing studies of real bodies whenever you can. I don't think I'm great at figure drawing but it definitely makes a difference doing some sketches from photo ref before I draw a nude. I mentioned in a previous ask (https://retrospring.net/@carnagehallway/a/112538312145688498) places I like to look for IRL reference specifically for nsfw, but for some general body studies heres some more links: https://line-of-action.com/ https://anatomylearning.com/ https://www.anatomystandard.com/
- get copies of the morpho anatomy books, or the 'anatomy for sculptors' book (e-hentai.org has a good selection if you search 'morpho' or 'anatomy artbook')
- find artists who draw bodies in a way you like & try understanding their shorthand for parts of the body & why they make the decisions with their drawings that they do. but also a lot of artists (myself included...) cheese it with anatomy lol so make sure you're also learning what the body really looks like IRL, not just studying other people's drawings.
are you still into dungeon meshi?
hope its not weird to send it here but im genuinely so excited youre gonna focus on drawing what you want and focus on OC stuff!!! i cant wait to see, love your work immensely. always rooting for you!
Do you use refs for your nsfw art? If so, do you have recs for reference websites?
yeah! i answered this on my old curiouscat but i'll x-post the answer here:
I tend to prefer a pinup-y/posed look. filmed porn helps me figure out a pose logistically but i usually study & reference more directly from a more static material like photography so ymmv if that's not the look you're going for with your own work
What brushes do you use :o
I’m sorry if this is an annoying question!! T_T
not at all!
iii honestly have a ton of brushes downloaded and I switch them around a lot, so it's a bit hard to keep track of unfortunately. I have edited the settings of the one i use a bit but here's the pencil-y paint tool sai 2 brush my more recent art is done in. https://www.tumblr.com/ptsai-stuff/621905400789385216/procreate-hb-and-6b-brushes-for-paint-tool-sai-2?source=share
I also lower the resolution of my drawings and turn the brush size - pressure sensitivity very low, almost off altogether when I draw.
If you could change/add a character design aspect to any of the dunmeshies what would you wanna add i love your character designs
fun question, and thank you! hmm, i am pretty into how characters look canonically to be honest. I like designs that are simple but still effective/descriptive, and of course the artist is very good at that. they all feel like they have the 'right amount' of details to me. (though the toudens, marcille and kabru are the only characters i've drawn so far, and different takes on designs usually come to me when i draw characters myself depending on whatever makes drawing them more fun).
I like drawing falin with a (story spoilers?) ovt yvmneq gnvy jura fur'f ovcrqny ntnva & different posture because of it, and ig that i headcanon her and laios having more similar body types than they do in canon. & i make marcille a little lankier than she is in canon...
what are your dungeon meshi ships? just curious!
I AM SO HAPPY TO FIND DUNGEON MESHI EROTICA … I love ur art style
do you have a sfw account or anything?
opal is super cool and idk if you or the previous anon are aware of them, but current strap tech is up to half of the way there (tho a bit costly) reelmagik and emisil have the most realistic pack n' plays that kind of look just like slapping a dick on, transaesthetics covers a good range of individual functions too and are a lot cheaper - sorry weird point of interest on my part in that regard, i seriously love your character designs, every valdés post is such a treat!
I'm going insane does gregor think people being scared of him is hot. does he like mancunt. does he like men who like to be scared. does he bite.
yes to all four. in a lore sense the power of fear is really central to the ~magic system~ in his setting, & on a more 'just him personally' level he'd find someone who's scared of him while still pushing their luck enough to engage with him anyways really fun to toy with. people keep asking me to draw him biting somebody... i gotta....
