Hi Azul! I’ve been a fan of your art for a little while now, and I wanted to ask how you learned to render lineless artworks the way you do? Any tips to someone trying to learn? You’re a huge inspiration to me (no pun intended haha) and I also wanted to thank you for motivating me to draw on slow days.

Hi! thank you so much for your nice words, it means a lot to me to be an inspiration and it's a pleasure to share about my experience.

To render I usually keep two things in mind:

1. Make sure that what I'm drawing works correctly as a 3D figure and have a three-dimensional view of it the entire time I am drawing it.

2. The direction of light, knowing it and keeping it in mind will help you know where the shadow will go.

Visual environment concept art work has helped me learn about the use of depth and importance of contrast of tones and colors. But of course, knowing something logically is not always enough, I live attached to visual references and studying them. One of my best recent painting studies and references was the art of Riccardo Federici (a big inspiration rn).

I analyze every reference I see, just that. Every time I can't do something, I look for something that can show me and, in this way, it not only helps me with my current illustration, but also helps me learn new information that I'll use in my later illustrations. So there's the method that has worked perfectly for me. More than just copying, analyzing how something is constructed and elaborated to know what I'm doing and make learning effective. I'll leave here some YouTube channels that I've been watching and also a good reference and study page. Proko Ben Eblen Line of Action (also Pinterest but ik we all already live there)

Inari: (@ Tina) You seem lonely standing out in the courtyard all by yourself. Are you quite alright?

They look downwards at the mew and sighed, their hands messing with the edge of their cape, “It has been… years. Longer. Since I’ve been around others. It’s only been myself and the two kids and the occasional visitor that stay for a while before going on their way…”

Tina looked back at the building, the lights inside making silhouettes of those having a good time inside. The sounds and music drifting from inside so different than their empty inverse world or the empty void, “I suppose my fear is nearing others like my brothers and father…” they looked to the mew again, “Fear of the unknown can be a powerful thing….”

Oooh Noe's in trouble....

“I miss just being your shadow, less bullying.”

“Just get back here you ol’ doof.”

greedentstripes asked

(to Catherine) Nick stepped outside on the [balcony? patio? front yard?] where Catherine was. Seeing the Dragonite alone, he walked up to her and sat down.

"Are things too loud for you in there?" Nick asked, breaking the metaphorical ice. "I needed to step out for a second. the noise and people in there started to get too much for me." He breathes in and out, kicking his legs back and forth as a stim. "I hope you don't mind my company for a little while?"

[Catherine looks over at the Greedent.]

[Catherine, nervous] "Oh, no. I don't mind."

[She pauses for a second.]

[Catherine, nervous] "I'm not surprised it's noisy. It looks like a lot of Pokémon, and humans, are inside. I think I would be cramped if I went in there."

[She takes a deep breath in and then exhales through her nose before looking at the sky.]

[Catherine, nervous] "I'm just out here because I don't want to a... accidentally cause a scene."

(@ask-dawnanddusk) "WOW MISS, YOU LOOK REALLY PRETTY!!" Loraifon shouted enthusiastically, excited to see the giant bird. "You're feathers also look super soft! I mean, not as soft as moms, but still really soft! But I'm confused, aren't Ho-oh not supposed to live here? I mean, I think mom told me that there are already three big strong pokemon who live in… Kanto? No, Kalos! Right, Kalos. An I thought they kinda watched over it, right? So what are you doing here?"

Harumi watched the young one excitedly blurt their thoughts at her. She quite enjoyed spending time with children and this little joy was no exception.

"You are very knowledgeable on such a topic. I applaud your insight!" She ruffles Loraifon's fluff with a wing. "To answer your question, yes. There are three big gods that rule over this land. I am here because one of them is sleeping and needs my help so she can get a good rest."

This, obviously, was a very simple way of putting the situation but Harumi did not wish to trouble the child with the dark details.

"What about you? Why are you here?"

Hey inv: can you do photo-realistic mouth and eyes and see how the other think. Oh and heres i found out that the nacho cheese can cool down... Tho I'd nibble them with caution.. I've only ate some and for a full 10 mins started hearing colors and seeing taste, past out and started tripping and saw what could not be described and it was beautiful for a second...

To monk and gourm: did you know inv has pups with an :•] face they hatch from the eggs

(here are all their reactions to that!)

Also yes, Enot did try out eating the nacho cheese after and had to be rushed to the ER/silly

Also, to the second part (im not doing art am eepy)

Monk: "hey wait no??? Dude the eggs are literally just bombs...."

Gourmand: "Monk, I knew your boy- theyfriend was weird but this????"

Monk: "DAD- they aren't my boyfriend!!!!"

Is there a specific brand of tarine tea you prefer?

Any brand can be satisfactory to a degree with the correct brewing. If I had to choose, however, I'd pick several independent brands. The purchase may be expensive, but it's worth the credits for the quality of Tarine tea they are shipping.

Can you try and create a gentle giant story on character.ai?

I don't usually use any AI tools. I once tried Character ai but drop it next day.

I prefer to make stories on my own or with friends.

Maybe this has nothing to do with the question but I'll clarify that I don't allow my characters to be used in any AI medium.

(@team-pokefriends) Sophie @ Tina: The Slowking spots a Pokémon she had never seen before. Something about them interests her enough to approach them with a look of awe to her face. "Woah. I've never seen a Pokémon like you before." She took a look at their form for a second before looking back up to their face and smiling. "But you look awesome. Are you some kind of mega powerful Pokémon?"

Tina looked to them and smiled a bit at her reaction, “This is a smaller form I took so I had no problems coming inside the building. I am a Giratina, while most rule over a mirror world to stabilize gravity that was never my particular roll,” they messed with the hem of their cape again…

This wasn’t too bad. Galas were elegant and not loud at least. They turned again to watch the rest of the event goers, “I don’t know what my power is compared to others if I’m honest. While I sparred with father and my brothers once upon a time I haven’t in eons.”

Noe, do you have any other anomaly friends? Or are acquaintances with then at least?

Like 3TrainerPoké or ♀ . or 4 4 or p or any ofゥ’s or ‘M’s families?

“I am the ‘M and it’s subsequent ‘family’ however, your other listings are more or less what I eat. My only known friend is the lifeless ‘Bad Egg’.”

(@asking-paradise) Meeko@Catherine: "That nidoking was really mean! You don't deserve that; I've met a lot of angry 'mons who just say bad stuff cause they think it'll make themselves feel better, it's not your fault. Do you know what his deal was?"

[Catherine looks down to the ground.]

[Catherine, worried] "Alex. He..."

[She takes a deep breath, and then glances at the Oshawott, slightly turning her head, but not enough to look at him in the eyes.]

[Catherine, worried] "We used to be friends..."

[She grabs her bow and holds onto it.]

[Catherine, worried] "But, he was also really against me evolving..."

[She takes another deep breath before speaking again.]

[Catherine, worried] "He said... I would 'become a monster' if I did..."

[She is reminded of a past event, and she flinches a bit. Afterwards, she grabs her arms, like she's hugging herself.]

[Catherine, worried] "I'm sorry. What happened back then is something I don't like to think about."

[She looks down at the ground again.]

[Catherine, thoughts] "(I wish it didn't happen.)"

#5 for the character ask game for uhhh the main character of Hollow knight (I forgot their name sorry)

ahhh, ghost! my favourite violent little god thing with a body count canonically in the hundreds

easy. father by the front bottoms.

themcore. i can go into heavy detail about why this song is, to me, about hallownest’s royals, SPECIFICALLY the vessels (or rather, ghost and holly) and hornet, but i wont. for the sake of this post, and also, you don’t seem to know much about hollow knight, so my rambles would make absolutely no sense. and spoilers!

to make it simple, ghost hates their father with a burning passion, at least in my au. they have so many daddy issues, and if their dad wasn’t already dead, ghost’d have his head as a wall decoration.

[ask-upon-the-void-au]

just wondering, what was Monk thinking when they saw Koki?

OOC: Oh, Im not gonna fully reveal it for the simple fact of "I want to spread lore out a bit more" but they kinda see Koki as a younger version of themselves. Pure and happy. They simply dont want to see that light burnt out like in themself.
