Ivolice by Louistrations

Ivolice by jezzm

Ivolice by Gen_Atto
Terra by alunzuli

All I have on phone unfortunately

[Leyelle]

what are these characters' names?

[remiquise]

Uhh this isn't all of it but...

I'd love to credit everyone but i don't even know how to start with that.

[abigaillmartin]

I put a bit of the fan art I got into frames I bought at a thrift store.

They’re all packed away in a box though.

[Leyelle]

wow this is a lot of art. how long have you been making stories for?

[remiquise]

They're not all from stories, necessary. Some are art trades, some are from friends (of our private co-op novels), some are random fanart of characters/designs the artists liked when they saw it, some are from when I had a popular (very nsfw) blog and the characters themselves without stories were just popular (got fanfiction from that era too but that's been sadly lost to time), I think I got a few commissions up there, birthday gifts, so on and so forth.

But I will say some of the stuff is over 10 years old, so this collection has been growing for a while haha;;;

She should be in a children's book really... it's just that her creator is insane and constantly puts her in mentally stressful and dangerous situations

that is a long time to acquire artwork, but it's impressive that people liked your characters enough to want to draw them randomly. I've only had that happen twice. the rest are gifts/from art trades

Here's all the wholesome art that I've received of Tsukasa:

I hope to find more to add to my collection!

Read Haru and Tsukasa | Tapas Web Community

[KoreanTacos]

This also came in the mail today, makes it easier to see and less holes in the walls than my usual set up

Used to just put them on the wall, but it takes too much space and poster just looks tacky

Oh don't mind the lewd art (I make a nsfw series not on tapas)

[KoreanTacos]

What kind of paper you using for those if you don't mind me asking

[remiquise]

me? Oh I just print them out on printer paper, lmao. Printer paper and a cork board. bar some of the hand painted ones from friends; think they used water colour paper.

The Voidkin by Llobucerval

A Dreamshade fish by BellaTheCow

Yvette by Leyelle

And Mirella "Mira" Starglade by Apple bun

Not sure if these count but Bella did make my cover of Valerie and Cleo and my thumbnail of Celeste and Cleo as well.

I just love the thumbnail so much, it's so cute

[midnightsun]

NOOO NOT THE CHILDREN’S BOOK ILLUSTRATION COMPARISON
I get these kind of comments so often that I worry if my art style is even suitable for telling the stories I want to tell (they’re often gory with historical implications or just straight up historical with lots of war crimes going on). I had an assignment once to use AI to generate a picture of a scene from a book we were reading in class. I refused to use AI and drew my own picture instead, AND THE TEACHER TOLD THE WHOLE CLASS THAT THE AI PICTURES WERE BETTER because mine looked like a children’s book illustration and not like the serious scene it was supposed to illustrate.
I know people like it, I know it looks cute, but what if it wasn’t my intention to make it look “just cute”?
Aaanyway, sorry about that lol. Here’s some art I received

Chris (reimagined as a human) by @Leyelle

War criminal by @remiquise

I have many more but my internet is only letting me upload so much.

[Leyelle]

Sometimes you've gotta embrace the cuteness. I still illustrate serious comics in a cute style

[abigaillmartin]

Guilty as charged.

This is supposed to be a serious and romantic moment lol

[Leyelle]

Mine are mostly diary entry like comics, so I just illustrate my thoughts however they come to me. sometimes it's cutesy and cartoony, sometimes it's a little ominous
