I wish we could be a little more honest to ourselves.

Trying to be quicker with enviros, (・へ・) haven’t painted for so long bleghhhh.

Anonymous asked: How did you develop your style of art and/or who are your inspirations?

Hey there anon!

Sorry for answering this so ridiculously late (no really how can I make this up to you sob), I guess I didn’t know where to begin!

The truth is I’ve never thought of myself as an interesting style to discuss?!
I nudge it in a certain direction from time to time but in all honesty I have no idea where it’s going so I’m just going to enjoy the ride.
There was this analogy a while ago about an artist being akin to a tree, nurtured by the minerals of experience; their fruits an amalgamation of all things lived, felt, heard, thought and seen.

I sorta do this thing where if I see something I really like I eyeball the hell of out it to ‘gleam’ their techniques and take mental notes to try it out; even copy it as a study to see what kind of amazing witchcraft they employed to make it work.

Just something really quick before the year ends.
Blasting NYE tunes hehe.

Might as well submit mine as well.
I felt really uncomfortable filling this in because I know I haven’t drawn (or improved) much this year, mostly because of school obligations.
{there’s 2011 and 2010 for reference}
I do hope that I draw more next year but that’s probably not going to happen (I’ll do my best though!); can’t wait until Nov. 2013!

Happy New Year guys, hope yours is spectacular!
YOSH! Let’s all work harder! ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ

Heya Mel! (policeghost)
I found myself falling more and more in love with your characters and art as I was browsing your tumblr haha..
Here’s a very dramatic Tyler (hope it looks like him e__e). I thought it was kinda adorable how he always manages to get spewed on by Boomers even though I didn’t draw it.
