Where do you usually source pose references for your rybine pieces? I absolutely adore how you capture them in all the soft moments and I'd love to know how it comes to be reference wise!

I honestly just use google (or equivalent search engine)…I’m really picky about vibe but that’s pretty much it. I use refs for general posing + play around with expressions based on what I have in mind, and make any adjustments for Sabine since it’s harder to find refs for her body type. :(

what do you use to draw? im trying to get more into art and your drawings are so prettyyy

Thank you so much!! 💕 I use Clip Studio Paint for everything, with either their default brushes or brushes from the asset store. I’ve been switching lately but I usually go for the ‘rough dry brush’ or the ‘wet sketch brush’ (I think they’re both from the asset store).

i always like to think of ryou as a beautiful trans woman..... is there any hope 4 me

I mean it’s never impossible, but I don’t want to mislead you either way; Ryou’s been masc as long as I’ve had him. Personally that’s how I see the character, but I have no problems whatsoever if people see him differently. :)

What would happen if rybine suddenly magically swapped genders and body types? How would they react? You can take this as a request if you are doing those, if.not, just a question.. :3

Hi Mari! Are you on Bluesky?

Don't know if someone ask you about this but, from what planet is Ryou? and if he is a class of superior species than humans, can he get sick or being affected of human diseases?
PD: as an astist too i love your art and the intimacy of it (not to mention the nsfw stuff, but i love that part too), and if it were somehow possible to eat art, i would do it.

Aw thank you so much! 🥺🥺 That’s so sweet of you!

Ryou’s from a planet I made up for the story that I’ve just been calling Polaris. In terms of physical attributes he’s just got the ears and teeth, otherwise he’s completely human in appearance. He’s got a longer lifespan too but he’s not sturdier or superior—he can get sick like everyone else and he does because he overworks himself a lot. 😔

Wait does Ryou have fangs?

I was here in vague thoughts, and I thought of two very good sentences to discuss, do you think we don't have enemies or would our biggest enemy be ourselves?

So, Mari, you have a huge bookshelf at home and still want to buy more books?

Only at that point do you humiliate me hahaha. I only see people taller than me, if I see someone my size or smaller I'm already and I still think: "I'm not alone" hahaha

Hello everything is fine? I hope so 😆. This is Little Anon lol. What craze do you try but can't lose?

Oh yeah I’m fine, I just haven’t checked my inbox recently! Hmmm I don’t think I have any habits I’m trying to lose right now? Except maybe buying books because I have no room right now haha

What's your height?

What do you think of short guys? Like me, I'm 5′ 3″ (1.60 m) a little dwarf 🥺😆

Rad as hell 👍👍 I just hit my growth spurt before everyone else so I tend to like it when people tower over me instead hehe

What are you most proud of having done or making progress?

Finishing grad school honestly. I had a really rough time and just the worst luck, but I’m too stubborn and/or stupid to give up so here we are. 😌

I remember I followed you way back and you left social media. I was so sad, I thought about your art so much and your well being. I’m so glad I found you again!! ♥️♥️♥️

Ohh 🥺🥺 this is so sweet of you! I’m sorry to have worried you but I’m okay, thank you so much ❤️
