With regards to your previous answer, I really couldn't ask for more clarification on it so don't worry. Though, to take things in a different way, would you enjoy being a ghost who possesses one of many vessels? I do like the idea of a formless mist that carries my thoughts, but I feel the possession part would help me to act on those thoughts. You'd take the shape of what you want in that moment, essentially.
hmmmm
idk maybe. being a shapeshifter sounds good. i often find myself wishing i could be someone else, and having an ability to possess people or beings would mean i can be whoever or whatever. it would be good until i get tired of my own consciousness, i suppose, assuming that part doesn't change. because in whatever body i'd be, i'd still be myself and sometimes just being conscious makes me hate myself.
It's hard to specify it to any singular form, but what are some... bodies? Vessels? What sorts of self do you see yourself in? I am human in reality, but I've often imagined myself as all sorts of beings before. You've mentioned being nothing, a cat, that sort of thing. I'm wondering if there's any other details in that regard. It can be as simple as "what kind of cat" or as strange as "what kitchen appliance."
hmmmmm
it's hard to answer because i don't really think of myself as having a body, i do have my physical body but it just feels like a burden i need to carry rather than anything. i hardly feel like i'm even a real being at times. it's kind of very fuzzy in my brain. i like to imagine myself with a human body with different characteristics because of dysphoria, but since i never see myself with it in my dreams or anything, it probably doesn't embed itself that deeply in my brain. my imagination is just not capable of making it feel stronger i guess...
i do also like to imagine being a cat but sorry to disappoint, i don't put a lot of deep thought into it, beyond superficially thinking it would be neat and probably better than being human. this is why i don't call myself therian or anything of the sort.
this probably isn't the answer you hoped for so i'm sorry, again, i feel quite disconnected from having a physical form.
turns you into a cat
What is the void?
A science experiment creating very cute creatures through inhumane practices? Might be too specific, but there might be some bit of inspiration in it.
You should draw Utena from Gushing Over Magical Girls
What's the best methods and practices to follow when creating an OC or Sona for vent purposes?
hmmmm i'm not sure, i haven't really thought deeply about it, i just draw what i want.
i guess one thing you can do is taking a bad thought and thinking how to portray it visually?
there's some vent stuff i don't post anywhere though, because it's badly drawn or embarrassing or whatever. vent art should not be created with audience in mind, so it's okay if it turns out bad, no one needs to see it, just draw freely
Just wanted to say that I love your art and your characters! Are you participating in Art Fight this year? I would love to have an excuse to draw your OCs >:3c (not everyone has the energy or time for that kind of event so it's totally understandable if you don't!)
Hope you have a good day!
thank you! :3 yeah i might participate but how much depends on my energy levels. wasn't originally going to but realized i selfishly desire more art of my ocs. still need to update some refs https://artfight.net/~frgmnt
im sure there are a lot of humans who aren't anonymous randos that would like to talk to you. message a mutual! reach out to someone on discord! i promise it will be better than this.
i hope you have a good day or night!
Hello. I am a human, with this message I am proving my existence to you.
Take care and keep making art ^^
You have an excellent sense of mystery. There's something to you, but I cannot tell what. Perhaps I'm not digging deep enough. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on leaving things to the imagination. Like, how many details need to be communicated for something to have maximum value and stuff. Not all questions need answers and I feel like a time when the observer is left guessing is a golden one. So... your thoughts? When is this done well, poorly, etc.
i don't think of myself as a particularly interesting or deep person. i don't know what it could be that you are seeing in me, but i do not have your eyes.
hmmm, that is a complicated question. *the sound of the gears in my brain slowly turning
generally, i think over-explaining things is bad. stories have been ruined, not improved, by creators trying to explain every single detail, or just being overly self indulgent in a way that doesn't add anything of value to the audience.
i am not a good or experienced writer, but in my few attempts at writing i'd usually try to lay down every single detail in text. later i realize that's more useful to me, than anyone who might potentially read it, and try to cut down on it when editing. so much can be just assumed by a careful reader.
i like the idea that every story has two creators, the writer and the one who experiences it through reading or otherwise, there's value in letting people interpret some things and write their own conclusions in their head.
there are many reasons why creators might choose to not be open about something and not all of them are good ones but i'm not feeling like getting into that can of worms tbh.
i like cryptic plots, a lot of my favourite media have them. but on the other hand i am quite stupid and need things explained to me more often than not, but that is a me problem.
tl;dr it really depends what it is, i suppose. i don't need every detail of someone's biography or how something works. so i'm like 70/30 on this, siding towards keeping things mysterious.
I also heard your voice once, it was pretty nice!
