What about a tutorial on how you draw characters... Like do you start from their face? Pose? Or blocks before adding more details? I'm so curious!! (If you're comfy with it of course!)

Oooohh thank you for your interest! I'd love to share. My general process is
- Pose sketching, just basic figure (kinda hard to explain, but if you saw my Shinobu sketchy wip (https://x.com/hcgi_2y/status/1795340684033155265?s=46&t=5vx7egSgI8Z3JVnJamfm_w), it'd probably be clear how I do my sketches xD its like circle --> face line(?), like the cross thingy --> neck --> body and clothes)
For lineart, its:
- Hair!!
- Clothing
- facial expression☺️
- Then the minor details like accessories, refining the lineart, background, etc
- Coloring (sometimes i do base color then shades, sometimes i straight up painting or simple coloring haha)
But most of the time, I just stop at scruffy lineart then 1 layer of colors ☺️💦

I'm sorry for asking this kind of question, but do you have a dni or people you generally don't want to see here?

Hi!! Dont be sorry, thats a very nice question!

My honest answer would be, not really, just basic dni if i were to have one?

Cause i usually do the filtering myself, like hiding the stuff i dont wanna see or people i dont want to interact with. I manipulate the algorithm into show me cute hamsters and chinchilla and Chiitan ads instead of *cought*crypt0nft,,that sort,, (I'm also not very sure how dni works, if i just umm ignore the person if they interact with me....would that work?)

And I mostly just use this platform to share and like international fanwork. I dont frequently interact back and forth on here, im so sorry💦 I do get a bit of a trust issue of people on the internet.

Still, I am very grateful of my friends, followers, oomfies, and anyone who likes my work🫶 its part of the reason why ive been with enstars for so long! Im very sorry if I didn't respond to your reply or qrts!! I usually just turn off twt after i post 😭😭😭😭

But anyway, my biggest rule would be, be respectful. Other than that, feel free to interact! If I just happen to figure out you did sth I dont condone, I'll stop interacting, that's how I use my social media and make sure I don't see the things I dont want to see.

I hope that answers the question, and hope that you can respect my this personal rule of mine!

Thank you!

Oh I forgot,

How do you draw hiiro's hair...or tetora's...

(Picture included in Twitter/X respond!) I might not be the right person to ask, but I'll include a visualization haha 😭😭😭 my usual process would be
- stare at the official art
- stare at lots of fanart !!!!
- draw instinctively, starting from the bangs, then the side hair(?) and then the rest
- random hair strands go !!
I notice that different artists have really different ways of drawing hair (and even other features like eyes, face, etc) but they all convey the same character vibe!! So I try to see the similarities in their portrayals and catch the core 'traits' of the character design, then just put them in my fanart haha:D

I love your art, they look so soft and delicious, it's as if I could merge them and put it all in my mouth /pos ... Oh and ah your femstar design is just so adorable, thank you for picking up pencil

Also, I'd like to ask! Are you okay with spam like/rt esp for your older post? Since some artist don't really like it for engagement purpose or just because they're uncomfortable with it :o

Hiiii omg thank u so much, that means a lot hahahaha🫶❤️

And sure, feel free to interact w/ my older posts!! I dont really mind seeing my older works again, I actually appreciate it since i dont really do frequent rt of my old fanart, new followers must be having a hard time, my bad 😭 also, twt notification is actually much better than other socmeds that it groups like/rt pretty nicely 👍 so yeahhhh i dont mind it at all

What do you use to draw / what brush do yoy use... Your art looks delectable <3

Hiii thx u so much for your kind words! i used IbisPaint free version. I usually use the default brushes and do random customize as i need, my commonly used ones are Digital Pen for coloring and Soft Japanese brush sth sth. I,,, actually just lost my brush settings recently when i played around with pixelated pen stuff 😔 but i got these old QR codes (i'll link it in my twt response), hope it helps!

Have u ever drawn ritsuhaji… what r ur thoughts on them..

unfortunately i havent 😭😭😭 maybe one day,,,
They're cute! I havent read much rithaji stories but they have this very heartwarming senpai-kouhai supportive relationship, and ritsu seems like he offers hajime interesting perspective on problems, a perspective that should be quite different from that of hajime's other peers and senpai. I think its really nice that everybody cares for Hajime in a different way, in how they dote on him or give him advice ☺️

Wwwwwwwwhats your opinion on midochia,,, sweats profusely (btw your art is super cute I'm happy it got on my tl)

First, thank u so much for ur kind words!!
and omg midochia,, i have only positive impression cause im surrounded by super nice mdca friends and oomfies, sorry for the bias haha
Canon interaction: really funny and cute, one of my first ryuseitai stories was Climax (from ! era) and i cried so much from Chiaki's sobbing cg and Midori's dialogue. Their interaction in !! era has also been quite heart-warming. (I trust that my mdca oomfies and fans will have better sources for this, they're really dedicated to mdca).
Reversible, non-reversible shipping wise: im good with both sides, mdca and camd dynamics from what i've seen don't really differ much. They're all just.. very cute.

Do you like Niki x Rinne? :3

i rly enjoy Niki & Rinne canon interaction and all, very fun and very interesting! They've got this great relationship dynamic going on. Relationship-wise, i really like them ❤️
As for non-reversible ship, tbh i'm actually more on the Rinniki side rather than Nikirin, im rly sorry💦 (im more in the eastern fandom side so im more familiar w/ eastern shipping culture etiquette. From what ive seen, Rinniki and Nikirin fans have quite a different taste in how they produce and consume fan content (fanart, fanfiction, etc), how they interpret canon materials, and how they shape the relationship dynamic beyond canon materials!) Nikirin beyond-canon dynamic & fancontent isnt really my taste, but i dont mind seeing them sometimes!
