Hello I am from tumblr and I love your work especially the colouring, what art program do you use?

I use krita! You can also find a google drive with the custom brush packs i use somewhere down in my retrospring answers

why did you delete your tg channel??

in my opinion and expirience russian speaking prsk telegram community is full of bigots and i got tired of sidestepping that for the 10% amount of normal people who can just find my tumblr if they need to. also i didn't delete it i privated it

what if instead of red riding hood it's purple riding hood and instead of mafuyu being a wolf she's a rabbit

im really not sure what you're getting at here and whether you want me to take this seriously and expand on this in the context of the original fairytale but as a visual concept for a halloween outfit it might be cool

Are you still okay with people using your art as a pfp with credit?
Also how can I tell a work is a commission if it is posted on Twitter, I don't want to accidentally use someone's commission as a pfp.

yeah, as it states in my bio im ok with any non-commercial use of my work👍also, any posts with commissioned works in them will have a special watermark and the fact that they are commissioned will be mentioned in the caption

hi! a little random but do you know which flowers are showed in the jishou mushoku 2dmv and their meanings?

i actually have tried to find them a few months before but came up blank haha.... from my expirience they seem way too stylized to adequately figure out if they even ARE based off anything (the ones assigned to kanade have stems of the same color as the flower - which isnt something that never happens but ive never seen one exactly like that). if I absolutely haddd to i would say hydrangea for kanade, bell flower/some kind of violet for mafuyu and false violets (rubus repens) for miku (mafuyu also holds them in the main illust)... im really sorry if I havent helped you like you hope but thank you for asking anyway.. sorry for the late reply too

Do you have any other social media? If not could I suggest using tumblr? It's real good

i dont think i necessarily need another socmed account but i guess it would be nice to have it for the future... if i end up doing it it'll probably be under the same name as my twt

ur artstyle is so goooddd, how did u develop it?

honestly i dont really worry about having a particular personal style i just want it to look good. i have a new artist that im fascinated with every other week and i do master studies of their works until i get tired of it... my style usually spikes to looking like theirs during that time but it eventually evens out and i get an amalgamation of everything ive absorbed (but with one or two new things from whoever i studied). Other than that i guess figure drawing had a big role in forming my artstyle too

hello! whats your process for coloring your pieces? im so curious since ur recent kanamafu art is so beautifully colored

in most of my pieces with especially dramatic lighting/colors like the one you mentioned, i start out with a greyscale and render it in greyscale untill i feel good about the values and details. when im done, i make a copy layer of the whole canvas and apply a gradient map (filter which replaces certain values with certain colors you assign.) not always but pretty often, i correct some places through layer effects (for example, if I think its necessary for an object to be a certain color to be recognizable in the picture, ill set the layer mode on something like "color" and adjust that object through it. after that its usually just a bunch rendering/filter/special effect loops again untill i think its done ww...

im really bad at explanations, so i hope this is understandable enough. my work process is not at all streamlined and its hard to say i follow any formula down to a t, but id say this is how it is most of the time. thank you for your interest!!....
