ohghgh i think the biggest thing i recognize ur art style for is ur BANGER lining style. the way you use line weight to express the Heft of certain aspects from your characters is always so pleasing to look at. ALSO!! your confidence in using shapes to shade clothes and fur idk it always takes me out in one shot.

confidence is definitely the right word cuz i have NO idea what im doing with clothes i just slap lines down as they look good LMAO

im glad you like my lining too cuz i actually owe my “technique” i guess to my friend and father moony @moondoodles (link to his art acc) im fucking obsessed with his linework its so fucking GOOD and i copied how he does it too. he doesnt use a sketch layer and instead goes right in and just erases what he doesnt need and as soon as i started doing that by GOD did it get so much more fun and rewarding imo. its really nice to just straight up lose the sketch layer cuz i found i was having problems with stuff getting muddled between layers and this is a much smoother experience. im really glad you like it :D

#lining is sooo hard and it takes a LOT of time but i enjoy it a lot #people talking to me #moony has a yt account aswell but i dont think hes posted recently #hes a lot more active on his insta and sometimes he’ll post a process with his art so PLEASEEE im fucking BEGGING you #if you like my lines at least go check him out cuz hes just so good at it and i’ll never shut up #i owe so much of my art progress over the years to him hes so fucking inspiring

[bubblesbinxs]

this might sound corny but it feels so heartwarming to see the way i’m welcomed back on tumblr??

ive left this account for almost 6 or 7 years without seriously posting or interacting (rebloging from time to time doesn’t really count) with barely 400 followers and yet when i started posting some fanart again this month some people from Way Back interacted and got happy to see me again??? this is so weird why would u remember me….

#it’s just so sweet… i remember not being proud of the works i posted but you guys still somehow enjoyed them and are happy to see me again.. #kinda makes me wanna tear up i didn’t know i could be so special to people i don’t even personally know?? #it just makes me really happy i can bring happiness to u with what i make.. #im sorry i was so inactive in this account… i mean i’ve created it when i was 12 and now i’m gonna turn 19 #a lot of stuff has changed but i hope u guys still enjoy what i’ll be making in the future… #and thank u so much for still sticking around for so long even tho ive gone quiet for so long??? #thats so cool of u #im most active on my insta but i’ll try to b a bit more active there too..

[piopimoved]

Sorry if I mass queue u... I'm running low on posts

#i feel bad for never posting personal posts a lot of u seem rlly cool #n id love to be friends!!!! #im waaay more active on insta my @ is starzoops

[amiscreations]

Since I’m almost at 100 followers, I thought I’d do an official Tumblr face-reveal/meet the admin to celebrate!🥰

if you have me on Instagram (@ amis_creations) then you’ll definitely already know what I look like, so its not a secret at all lol, but I thought it would be cool for any of my Tumblr exclusive mutuals to get to know me a bit better!

✨✨✨✨

#btw im soooo much more active on insta so definitely follow me on there! #I also post my WIPs on my story #and memes #and lots of leppard and classic rock obsessing #also I usually post art on there first! #shameless self promo

prompted by a baffling conversation with one of my friends + overall trends with events like big bangs. apparently i am deeply underestimating the amount of, like, actual consumption crossover between fanartists and fanwriters. i've been operating under the assumption that the majority of fanartists don't read fanfic and that fanfic is a relatively niche thing mostly shared between fanwriters with a few outlier exceptions. like, that the "communities" or w/e are relatively separate??

this is possibly because i've been out of "fandom" for a few years (or bc im not on twitter/insta where the artists hang out), but i feel like most of my friends are other fanwriters and most of the people who actively engage with fanfic on tumblr/ao3 are also fanwriters (and vice-versa with fanartists gravitating to each other). however. my friend disagrees? neither of us are actually artists tho so i'm putting the question out to the crowd. (more thoughts) ->

side note: i didn't include an option for being BOTH a fanartist/fanwriter because 1) you're like rare and exotic birds to me 2) i'm trying to figure out who falls into which category based on what community you "identify" with the most. if you write the occasional fanfic but you mostly think about/create fanart, you're a fanartist; if you mostly write fanfic but every now and then will think about/make some art, you're a fanwriter. the group you're more likely to engage with. that kinda thing.

side note 2: you will see i have included an option for fanwriters who don't/rarely read fanfic. i know you exist because that is my category. i read fanfic but do so rarely these days. i'm selective because i dont have a lot of time on my hands. this is possibly another reason why i feel like engagement between fanwriters is so high, because if i'm going to engage with a fanfic i'm gonna put my whole ass into it since that's the kind of engagement that makes me happiest from a writer's perspective.

for reference, when i say "engagement" i'm talking about leaving kudos, comments on ao3, asks/comments on tumblr, tags on reblogs... that kinda thing.

with all of this in mind, this could literally just be because fanfic writers are more willing to engage with other writers bc of their own shared hobby and/or because fanfic writers know what kind of engagement theyd prefer on their own fics and act accordingly--and non-writer/artists are just more willing to engage in general because that's the primary way you participate in fan communities. on the flip side, fanartists might just straight up be a really quiet bunch... possibly because your thing (affectionate) is "visual" more than "verbal" (if that makes sense).

basically... this is exactly what i'd like to know LOL.

#this is mostly abt one piece because i DEFINITELY feel like there was WAY more crossover between artist/writers reading fanfic in homestuck #but that was also literally a decade ago & i feel like theres been a HUGE shift in how people see/are willing to engage w fanfic these days #THIS ISN'T SHADE OR ANYTHING I'M GENUINELY SO CURIOUS #i found out some people i assumed didnt read fanfic at all actually DO and i was BAFFLED #the librarian urge to do research create categories and make lists #spiders loopey is an outlier and should not be counted lfasjlhlhsdfsdhfkjs (kidding ily) #gyro.txt

[wekiaam]

Hi, im obsessed with your art, honestly, it keeps me alive man, not gonna lie...

Do you have any tips on drawing anatomy, poses and side profiles? These are the things that i personally struggle as an artist, and i could really use some help with these things.

Thanks<33

Hii thank you so much!! These types of compliments really keep me motivated <3

Most things can be learned from drawing a LOT from life and references. Lately I've been doing a lot of studies from watchingnewyork on Instagram (also great for fashion inspiration by the way) My main two sources for studying are instagram and pinterest, but there are countless other places where you can find amazing references for drawing the human body in all sorts of poses.

For side profiles I found these tips by @grizandnorm very useful:

All their things have helped me a lot, you should definitely check them out!! They're no longer active on here but there's more on their insta 💕

I’m still furious at the Brazil mess so I’m sorry if this is incoherent but holy fuck!!!! Im not saying this to minimize Ana’s death, but another person was shot and killed before the concert, and over 1000 people were injured during it as well!! I don’t care whether it was strictly her, the venue, of her team making decisions none of that should’ve happened. They banned outside water, closed the air vents so people in the parking lot couldn’t hear for free, used pyrotechnics even though fans begged her not to make the already 100 degree heat worse. The fact that over A THOUSAND people fainted or were burned by the venues metal grates and she did nothing to stop it and nothing afterward!!! Brazil is one of the places being hit by global warming the hardest and she did all this shit during the hottest time of year, AND flew back and forth between Brazil and her home every night instead of staying in a hotel. She’s been one of if not the biggest individual contributors to pollution for the past 2 years!! Indirectly and directly she is to blame for all this and I think she knows it. It’s probably why she couldn’t muster more than a “I’m so sad don’t msg :(“ insta story post and purposely skipped all her other shows quiet moments. It’s clear she doesn’t care about her fans, especially fans of color. I hope everyone at that concert sues for negligence.

no worries its not incoherent at all!

her negligence was deliberate. idc what any swiftie says she is responsible to a certain extent of the venue and she definitely 100% has the power to make sure none of that shit happened. but she knew and didn’t care (and she definitely knew because they also told her of ana’s death). a moral human being would stop the show and make sure the conditions were liveable and SAFE to be in during a concert but she knew she already had everyone’s $ so she just went on anyways. and i don’t doubt the fact her negligence was aided by the fact that brazil isn’t a wealthy white western country so she wouldn’t face as much backlash. can you imagine if this happened in the U.S. with a girl that looked just like her? her tour would be cancelled. & you’re not minimizing ana’s death at all, you’re just giving proper context to the horrific situation and letting us know her death wasn’t spontaneous but a direct result of the neglectful and actively dangerous conditions. and then to top this all off with her flying to/from her LA home like what a way to say fuck you to her brazilian fans. im so sorry this happened and her racism is undeniable and fatal

im gonna answer that anon re:whether i am responsible for the Coquette Revival but not to them directly but to just anyone who may come across my account

in short i say i played a major part in it. @heavenhood along with our friend who was also around during nymphet era talked a LOT about coming back to tumblr under the name coquette during quarantine our blogs were among the first few blogs to use coquette as an actual community to engage with each other post 2017, seeing as tho the coquette tag was just used for exposure and was dead with less than 100 ppl following it

we decided to bring it back because as those who were around during doelet know, it was a weird environment that was extremely racist and focused a lot on trauma and was just not a positive place at all and this is where i met @vampyr3wife and she was with me during a lot of the reviving coquette as we both didnt like the environment that doelet became

coquette was pretty active in insta (this is where i met @yayodolls ) and as she can confirm, it was a very different environment that again doesnt really resemble coquette as we know it now

coquette was also p active on wattpad in the form of guides but it was still using the term nymphet as it was the only platform tbat hadnt banned/flagged the term. in a sea of nymphet guides most were targeted towards white girls with maybe ONE special chapter for black girls and that was it so i made ONE of the first coquette guides targeted towards black girls specifically

after this i moved to YouTube to combat a lot of the misinformation Billie and the rest of the doelet era spread about the tumblr nymphet era, a lot of people found me and coquette thru this video

during this time of rebuilding the coquette tag to be more than me and 4 other people i started creating blogs and dming people handing them out to them and i actually managed to give lots of people blogs! and the ones who did not accept were very kind about it and ended up making coquette tumblr blogs after i was talking to them about my goal of rebuilding the community i loved again this is how i met @yayodolls

and through my wattpad, tumblr, and YouTube videos i met jaime loftus and was featured in episode 8 of her lolita podcast another avenue where lots of people discovered coquette thru me

this is also where i met my friend, youtuber Lola Sebastian who had been with me during my journey of getting back into and reviving coquette

but the way i went into reviving coquette is much different from how it is now portrayed. for instance this was the first time i used coquette as an actual community tag + subsequent posts describing my intentions which @r0sypeach was very helpful with as she joined me in this

and the following are posts i made when we officially got into the swing of things

so as you can see coquette when i was in the process of filling the tag was completely different to how it is now which is what allows people to deny i was a major part in reviving it

it got turned into everything i fought against: sterile, toxic and exceedingly white

hello!

sorry for not posting i haven't been drawing anything lately. my last post was like months ago i know bbut i'll try to draw more often around this end year. i'm still into omori and have a few art ideas so that's still the same. tumblr isn't my main social media account so i might not be active as much, i have insta and twitter (im not calling it x) that goes by the same user so that's that.

anyways rui fanart and maybe i'll draw more pjsk because i've been playing it a lot recently along with genshin. alrght that's all see you!!!!!

warning for a clearly anxiety-ridden oversharing freakout below the cut. sorry. i’m too sensitive and i’m unfortunately acutely aware of it.

tldr; im being a drama queen. gonna take a tumblr break for a week or two. to my mutuals, feel free to dm for my insta. i’ll be active until i wake up tomorrow morning and then i’m gonna zip

gonna preface this by saying this is in no way directed to the people whom i actually talk to constantly on here like you lot were lovely and im just dealing with a lot of demons in my head :(

anyway. sometimes i feel more like a product manufacturer than a person on here. and idk. i know most of you guys are really just following me for gifs and content and whatever but. yeah. idk. i guess the things i say don’t matter to anyone unless it’s funny. or if people want to call me out. not that im mad abt that exactly btw i do appreciate when people respectfully call me out for my own mistakes but. sometimes. i feel like im in a fishbowl and you’re all just waiting for me to say something wrong and cancel me. or then again, maybe most of you already think im a shit person and you just stay for the gifs. or maybe you guys think i’m a loser who has nothing to do but spend all day on this goddamn website.

and i know, somewhere inside me, that that’s not true and that it’s clearly the anxiety talking. maybe it’s just me maybe i’m making this up in my head i dunno. but i’m just kinda tired right now. too tired to battle the anxiety like usual at least. and i don’t really feel wanted outside of the content i produce, beyond the notes of my gifs or my fun posts. which ik shouldn’t matter but. i’m a pathological people pleaser etc etc.

(god, seeing this all typed out, i can’t even fucking blame you guys if you actly don’t like me cause. i kinda wanna shake myself by the shoulders and tell myself get a grip girl the world doesn’t revolve around you shut up shut up shut your damn mouth—)

i’ve been trying to manage by unfollowing and blocking a few people (which btw, if i did that to you and we used to be mutuals, it’s probably nothing personal i mostly just kept people i’m a bit closer to). but i’m still not really settled. and considering how i’m posting like every other day about feeling like shit, you guys probably figured that out lmao.

and well. on a separate note. seeing that rat’s name alone is too much for me sometimes. i couldn’t watch his game with carlos. i spent hours in his match with daniil turned away from the television, wearing noise canceling headphones while trying (and failing) to talk myself down from a full blown anxiety attack. i’ve said this before but the way people talk about him, both the fucked up silence and the justified outrage, it reminds me way too much about a family problem i have right now. hits uncomfortably close to home. prior to this i kinda thought i’d made my peace with the whole family situation but no apparently not. had he won the semis, i wasn’t even sure if i would be able to stomach cheering for jannik if it meant having to watch that man play.

so. idk. between the way actual tennis has been making me feel and the way tennisblr in general has seemed for me lately, i figure i need some space.

long story short ive been spending way too much time on tumblr this ao. and its gotten really bad for my mental health i guess. so i think i need to take maybe a week or two, to clear my head. watch tennis without opening this app every other point. spend time with people i love. get back to therapy. try to be a functioning adult.

(this is so fucking dramatic for a goddamn week of no tumblr i know that and i want to smack myself upside the head because why am i like this why do i make things snowball why why why—)

anyway. yeah. that’s it. if you actually read through all of that then. thanks. if not it’s okay too.

to my mutuals, the ones whom i’ve had at least some form of friendly interaction with in replies or dms, you can ask for my insta account btw. not that i’m crazy active on there but like. if you guys wanna be friends beyond the anonymity of this yknow. no pressure though.

#sorry to get all sad again #been editing this on my drafts all day #ive not been in a good headspace lately #*

Best way for male feedee pages to pick up speed?

the tips I give everyone is to post regularly (ik im a bad example of this on here but I’m way more active on Twitter & insta), be kind to everyone you interact with to build a positive reputation, compliment other feedees and share posts from others mixed in with your own 🥰 having a positive and well filled out feedist page will help a lot!
