Hey!!!! Found you through your work on Reddit, was delighted to see you have an account here too!!
I've been wanting to say this for a little while, but this isn't the kind of thing I'd be willing to put in a Reddit post.
I love your work and your style so much. So so much. Lately I've been allowing myself to explore my interest in heavy gore in a more neutral and healthy way, and your art has helped me to do that. Your work is very often beautiful, grotesque, and cute all at once. And not in that grand, self-contratulatory "Look at me, drawing something cute but it's all fucked up and gory!!!! Aren't I sick and twisted????" but in a quiet, earnest way, if that makes sense.
There's something very grounded about your art that's pretty rare to see in other gore artists. You don't aim for the super composed, super artsy vibe, where everything is perfectly placed, framing the viscera as divine and perfect and all that. As much as I do love that kind of art, I find it can be kind of... distancing I guess? Likewise, I get the sense you don't aim to be As Shocking And Twisted As Possible, nor overly "sexy". Rather, it's just... humans and human bodies. Ordinary and messy and beautiful, and that makes it all feel so much more real. There's something about that drawing of Valya, bloody and alive and lying in the snow, that has just... really stuck with me.
Speaking of which, I love Valya and his Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Consensual Adventures. There's something very charming and endearing about his mannerisms and personality. I love his comfy clothes and fluffy hair, I love how open he is about his masochism, I love that he's covered in scars (again, not something you see in most gore art). Like your art, Valya is chill, earnest, cute, and more than a little fucked up. I sort of get the sense he's a person who has found his own version of inner peace, despite everything that it entails for him. I'd love to learn more about him, If you have any facts about him you'd be willing to share.
Anyways, sorry for the rant, and sorry if this was kind of a lot to hear from a stranger. I'm not an art critic or anything, I don't know if anything I just said makes any sense. But your art really does mean a lot to me, and I wanted you to know that.
wow, omg, thank you for taking time to write such a wonderful and long message!! i am really happy that you get all those kinds of feelings from my art, and i am super grateful to you for sharing it. i myself like all kinds of guro, be it intentionally shocking, or candy, or divine-looking, but i am happy that for you i occupy this niche that you enjoy!
a theory on why my art is not overly sexual is maybe because i am an asexual myself :D
i am so glad you like valya!! i love him too ♫꒰・◡・๑꒱
a fact about him.. hmm... he really hates it when someone does anything bad to cats or dogs, but for once in his life he is smart enough to never tell it to anyone bc he knows there are people who would do it on purpose to make him feel worse. so it's one of the mental torture kinds that he does not enjoy
thank you again for everything you said, when i feel down about my art i will reread your message and feel inspired again :D please have a wonderful day!!

Tag 9 People You Want to Get to Know Better!
Tagged by @foibles-fables and @meg-noel-art! 💙💙
Favorite color: blue! Specifically, a sort of medium brightness, medium saturation blue nestled comfortably between royal blue and cyan :B
Currently reading: about to start TMNT IDW's City at War arc (#93)
Last song: Ibushiiii ♫
Last series: casually flipping between What We Do in the Shadows and MacGyver
Last movie: finally got around to TMNT: Mutant Mayhem! it was cute!
Sweet/savory/spicy: sweet ≈ savory >>>>>>>>> spicy (assuming spicy hot, anyway. Non-hot spicy is enthusiastically welcomed, but when I cook for myself I'm pretty minimalist. I like mostly tasting the actual main ingredients, enhanced with a hint of salt and/or onion. Teeny dash of curry powder when chicken is involved)
Currently working on: BtWD chapter 3 art fixes (the last couple scenes in the chapter were hard on me and you can Tell, so I'm cleaning the most bothersome spots to standard)
Also struggling to find the space to start a Horizon piece I want to do.
No-pressure tags: not this time >:D but please take this as an excuse if you're in the mood to fill out a thing!

I tend to use tone indicators for clarity in what i say or mean, but you don't have to (but v cool if you do!)
Side-note: I block freely if i feel the need to (don't take it too personally as it usually isn't). Also just because i'm an adult doesn't mean i'm comfortable with suggestive stuffs/innuendos or other more sexual stuffs... so keep that away from me or tone it down (or just don't interact if you can't/don't want)
Annnd i think that's it? If something is not clear, or you want to talk about a common interest, or know more about me, my ask box is open! :D
