When designing trolls, do you hunt for specific constellations/alt zodiac symbols to match the character you already have in mind, or do you find the constellation/symbol first and then design the troll around it? (Personally I was always the latter~)

Since I usually make characters w/in the hvswp universe, i usually work with the extended zodiac signs! It depends how much I've already conceptually written out for the character (that I at least know enough to pick a lunar sway + aspect), but picking a sign usually comes later for me.

Because most characters I make are often made to fulfill a certain function w/in the story/world, I focus on making the character design readable first (their job, personality, etc. comes through). Though, sometimes having a sign in mind can help give ideas to work shape languages around too, so it's fun consider!

hey man !! ive followed you since i was like fourteen ! im going to college now !!! i still love your work as much and probably more than i did then ! :D

WHOAA that means around like four years by now...?! aww thanks so much for liking my work throughout all these years 😭 I hope you fare well at college! 🫡

and hmmmmm probably something like this LOL

#postmastered #i would make more but it is shockingly hard to draw Purposely Bad LMAO

who was your very first fantroll? :0

my VERY FIRST fantroll..... it kinda depends.

And by that, I mean there was a point in time when i was Very Young and didn't understand what it meant to make OCs other than you just make a design and never look at it again LOL.

My literal First Fantroll would be uhhhhh..... (scrolling through my files to see the oldest image i have in my Homestuck folder) whoever THIS guy is

I made this in 2011 when i was like 13 years old, plz be nice to me. Disregard the fact i didn't follow Any of the homestuck troll lore either LMFAO

If my memory serves me right, i think this guy was some kind of psychic? but his powers were rly weak, so he tried to train himself by levitating some ball thing over his head everyday for practice. idk, i cannot tell u what 13 yr old me was going for this.

What I consider my first ACTUAL fantroll though, that was just a *bit* more actualized, was this girl i made named Kankuo Amatha.

Made in 2013 I believe? She was still pretty basic in terms of being a character, but her whole thing was just essentially being kangaroo themed and she was fun for me to draw LMFAO.

I've actually been thinking of redesigning these characters again just for funsies so they actually fit more into the universe 👁 i can make them better.. STRONGER...

i feel like chattin' ^_^ send me some asks!

can be AMA, but I kinda feel like talkin' abt my OCs/fantrolls rn LMFAO

[kimquatz]

when it comes to OCs, there's something so nice abt making smth that rly hits close to home. You never rly think abt it when it comes to the media you watch/read feeling just a lil disconnected to you, until you've rly invested into smth that puts all the things that feel so familiar to you that it finally rings to you and think, whoa.... feels just like home

#me making OCs that ring familiar to my childhood and i cant help but feel so fond towards it #like a nostalgia that only you can uniquely understand

i think it's so funny to remember Jishen is Hunter's deadbeat dad in another universe.

but even Funnier to consider that human!Jishen is just him without depression

#jishen heyang #kim's art #kim's original stuff #had a dawning realization earlier today that human!jishen would be more sociable and charismatic than his troll counterpart #and it was such a fked up visual i had to draw it. feels cursed. i've never seen this man smile #the only time he can and ever will smile is where he is not a burgundy on alt*rnia LOL #let it be known any alternate version of jishen is just a jackass AKLSJDA

#mostly of y7 rn tho bc ichi has me in a vice grip #you ever see a piece of media you just know once you've finally gotten into it you'd be a dead sucker for it #that's essentially been me for the past handful of yrs putting off playing the rgg games and the time has finally come ALKJDSA help

#tbd later #only thought abt this now bc i wanted to reply to a friend w a shitpost but realized i didnt have the option
