@Louvremusee I love it! may I share it on my IG and tag you? do you have an Instagram?
the expression is so cute!
[image] Sensei is being judgmental
[image] Texas is irritated, so is Chili tbh

I have 159 subs on my main series and 23.5k views.
Alicia has a screen saver that is a picture of her and her bff. He took it while she was asleep, and it becomes relevant later on in the story
three countries feels like a lot. which one are you originally from? I've lived in two (the USA and the Dominican Republic)
I think it takes most people a long time to become satisfied with their art, but I think your style is very distinct and consistent which is always good imao
Amazon fire. don't buy it. i'm grateful for it but it's not very good
Novel: "Damsel in the Red Dress" Character (ML): Alicia Palmero Qoute/line: I kick a snow drift, scraping my foot against the sidewalk as I do- And with every trickle of flaming red that runs into the white, I remind myself that I have a very weak stomach. And I can’t stand the sight of …
this is so sad. what has this character been through?
I have several episodes (technically comic strips) ahead planned, but I have zero buffer ATM TT
lots of things: my real life, the lives of people I know or learn about, the news, books and comics and movies and TV shows that I like (and even some that I don't like,) music. the list goes on. I think there are nearly infinite sources of inspiration in the world and I'm inspired by all of them. …
I love cartoony art too. I don't prefer to go super-serious with my art style
A WIP of my OC Inoa. My last drawing of her was from exactly a year ago [image] [image]
rather than a punishment, why not just decide on something like having to practice drawing 10 spheres, or hands or something like that, which will help the artist improve even if they don't succeed at one portion of the challenge? Alternatively, you could just write all the prompts now, and let pe…
So I have a romance all from one POV and another from both sides. It's not inherently lazy to switch POVs if you want to show more of that person's life and story, but if you just want to convey clues, there are lots of ways you can do that without switching POVs. Show what they're thinking by …
the pose is great. my characters always stand so stiffly lol
Lizzie's expression is so much fun
group games and stuff like that
Tex and Chili are 19 and 25 respectively. I know, it's a big age gap. Chili is a graduate of the college Texas is currently a student at, which is how they met. [image]
hmm, I would say I'm satisfied for the moment, but with more practice, I think I could rewrite it better
After the car accident that paralyzed her best friend, a young artist tries to fight her depression and anxiety to pursue the career he always insisted she was made for.
oh yeah, skip the part where you tell someone your name and go straight to dating lol
the hardest scenes i've ever written was probably in a short story i'm writing that isn't on Tapas, where I have a girl running from and fighting her dragon. I'm not used to writing action sequences so it was very tricky to do right. The first chapter of Crystal Blue was difficult for the same reaso…
XD. I was thinking of that song too but I didn't think anyone else would know it
thumbnail versus the finished product (except that I repositioned Chili's word bubble a bit after this) [image] [image]
complicated question. I write sci-fi and sci-fantasy, but I haven't posted any of it here. I recently won an honorable mention for the "L Ron Hubbard Writers and Illustrators of the Future" competition for one of my sci-fantasy stories tho, which was awesome.
I like your art so far. Here is one of my characters if you want to try drawing her: [image] she'll wear just about anything within reason so you can have fun with her fit, she's wearing a body suit in this pic because it's a reference image. But this is her canon wrap dress [image]
