Hi! I'm a huge fan of yours, and love your art 💜
I was wondering, will you ever publish an artbook? I'd love to buy one.
Oh my gosh hello!!! That’s insanely kind of you to say and ask 🥺 thank you so much for liking my artwork 🫶🏽 that makes me so happy to hear and I’m really thrilled I can share my art with you all online ☺️ as far as art book goes, I’m afraid I don’t have enough art or resources to feasibly make one 😔 I really really really from the bottom of my heart appreciate the interest 🫶🏽
sending a msg here as well sorry - golden stage/terrace books are being reprinted rn, and are up for sale on the peach blossom website ! since iirc you said book 2 was difficult to find, this could help
just saw ur tweet - i’ve been a long time follower and for what it’s worth i LOVE your art so much, take the time you need, i’ll be so happy to see ur art with open arms (eyes? u get the gist) whenever you’re ready to be back. hope u feel better soon!!
Hello! I love your Hualian art so much 🥹 do you think you will sell prints for them? 🙏
hey hey!! i know you started reading svsss, and i was wondering how you like it? it’s not my favorite but it gave me liu qingge and I’ll forever be grateful lol…any future fanarts maybe? 👀
I have started reading!! I’m about 77% through the first volume and hope to finish the rest on my flight to Malaysia! I like it so far, it’s funny but hard to follow along at times. I haven’t met many characters (I think) but I do love the main two! I guess I’m a main character lover haha 😅.
Hey! I recently found your page and I LOVE your art!! I wanted to ask for some advice, if I may! So, I wanted to start an art account and I was wondering if you have any tips for me!!
Aw thank you!! Ok my biggest advice is to post post post. Don’t even think about things like views and follows. The more you post, the more you have out there for people to find and enjoy. Think of it like messages in a bottle. The more bottles you throw out to sea, the higher the chances people have to pick it up and take a look. Patience and perseverance 💪🏽
I'm really curious, does your job involve your art? Or do you do art as a hobby/part time?
Unfortunately no, my day job has no relation to art at all 😔. Someday I hope to be able to get to a place where illustration will be my main career. I went to school and got a masters degree in a field I do not even work in haha 🥲 became the family disappointment so now I have a desk job. It’s nothing fancy, and I struggle with finances but I’m much happier! Still have my daily struggles, but it’s nowhere near the high stress of what I went to school for! I now do art as my night job, taking on commissions or short contract work.
hey girlie!! just wanted to say that your art is amazing and gorgeous and stunning 🙇♀️. may i know if you will ever add xavier to your inprnt shop? (and if you’re willing to draw the others too *ahem raphael cough cough * that will be cool as well 😳🫣 no pressure tho!!) i just love your art style, it’s so soft and elegant.
I'm looking to have a wedding portrait done as a gift for my daughter and her fiance. I really like your style but am aware that you may not be able to do it, so you know anyone that has open commissions that has a style equal to yours? Not necessarily similar just in quality.
Oh gosh, I’m very sorry that I’m not available at the moment 🥺 and a big big congrats to you and your daughter!! That’s an excellent question! I’m afraid I do not know of any mutuals’ commission status, but I would highly recommend following artofminmini 🫶🏽 her quality of work is enchanting and her style is super lovely.
Hiiiiii bestie just wondering when your comms will be open again, no rush btw just wondering ^-^
Hehe hello!!! Goodness, that’s a really great question. I have a lot of things going on this year, such as my sister’s wedding, projects I have dedicated my time to, and day job/family responsibilities. I’m afraid I do not have a definite answer for when I will reopen 😖 I’m sorry! I do have an email list, and while this list is not a first come first serve, they will always be my first priority for when I do reopen commissions. Basically my email list are the first to know, and the first people I offer slots to. If you’d like to be on it, please shoot me an email and you’ll be included ☺️
just came here to say i LOVEE your ocs!! all of them are so pretty and their designs are just gorgeous <3<3
Hello! I love your art so much, you’re very inspiring to me; both your fanart and OC’s invoke such deep emotions! I really love how you incorporate desi culture in your art whether fan art or your OCs.
I also would like to ask for some advice, it’s that’s alright!
You mentioned you use an 11inch iPad Pro , and I’m debating between the 11inch or the new 13 inch one. I can’t seem to decide! Everyone says bigger is better , and I don’t personally need portability. But the 11inch seems more cozy? Like comfortable? And the bigger one seems a bit intimidating and not as comfortable if that makes sense?
I’m sorry to suddenly ask this, but if you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!
Aw thank you! Ooo I can certainly give my opinion on the 11inch.
I find the size to be just right, big enough to utilize dual screen perfectly but not overwhelmingly large where you feel swallowed up by it. I do find that it can get painful to hold after a while, but that’s an easy remedy if you have a stand or a case that can act as a stand. I also have small hands so that might be why it can get uncomfortable!
I personally love my 11inch and don’t think I could see myself hauling around anything larger, especially since I travel a lot and already find it a pain to lug things around. Screen size wise, it’s quite large so if you worry about it feeling cramped in whatever art program you use, you won’t have to worry.
Hope that helps! Sorry, I feel like this may not seem like a lot of input 🥹
i cannot fathom enough how much I LOVE your art!!! it's such an inspiration for me, specially when you draw the characters in south asian attire. I get beyond excited whenever i see them AAAHH!! i was curious, i noticed you've also been playing hsr, what's your opinion on aventurine? :3 (totally not asking because he reminds me of kaeya HAHAH)
Aww that makes me happy to hear 🥹 thank you, you’re so sweet!!
I have been playing!! I’m super casual at getting thru storyline, so I haven’t finished Penacony yet, BUT! From what I do know and have seen of Aventurine, I love him to bits!!! Haha I can see that! I also see a bit of Tartaglia in him too, which is another character I adore. So all around it’s like that venn diagram meme of what characters have in common with other characters! 🤭
How did you improve your art so fast? It's pretty amazing. The anatomy especially :0
Aw thank you!! Honest to goodness, I think a lot of my improvement came down to utilizing 3D models. Don’t be afraid to play around with them! They help me when it comes to layout and certain angles that are tough to visualize without something to manipulate in that space. It’s a useful tool just like any other brush or program creatives use. There’s such a stigma around using 3D models, but it’s like using those little wooden model people in art!
you have some beefleaf fanart i really want to buy, would you consider posting them on inprnt as well?
Aw thank you!! I appreciate the interest so much!! A while back, I was kindly educated that it wasn’t proper or allowed to sell mxtx fanart (which I totally understand and am glad I was told!!) so I don’t have any up on my inprnt. I’m working on some sample prints through another manu, therefore my tgcf fanart will likely become freebies when I do open a cheaper shop ☺️.
