Hello!! I recently came across your portfolio and fell in love with the layout. I wanted to ask what website do you use that uses that kind of image layout? I really love that you can click on an image and find more of your cool drawings/process!

I'm glad you like my website layout!

I use a squarespace right now but I modified my site design using 3rd party plugins. The one I use to create my image gallery with the pop-ups is called Lightbox Anything (unfortunately it's not free). I also tweaked it quite a bit in the css and javascript so it might not work out of the box like how I have it on my site.

hello!! I saw the latest ask and I had to ask.. I saw that you probably left gumroad cause I had your PSD series saved to buy later when I'd have the money but i saw they are gone :c would you consider uploading them elsewhere (ko-fi or payhip)?

Thank you regardless, for your art! I am always excited to see you around <33

Here's the dropbox link for that too, they're old artworks so the process doesn't look anything like how I make stuff now but maybe still interesting to look at.

If you want to drop me a tip you can do so on my ko-fi!

Would you ever consider uploading your inking brushes to gumroad again? I wouldn't mind paying for them either ^^

Here's the dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ay66faste25nj36/K1%20Ink.sut?dl=0

I've long since tweaked the settings for my brushes so I don't remember how it behaves anymore really

CSP only

What would be the best way to learn anatomy? Do you offer tips or books that can help with studying?

I would study 3d models that you can find, maybe through posemaniacs or on sketchfab. There's only really one anatomy book that I find myself constantly referring to even to this day, which is the Anatomy For Sculptors book.

I think there are certain methods I use to drawing figures that also still stem from Andrew Loomis's books -- while I think some of it is dated, there are still principles in it that hold up even now imo.

I am in my artistic journey, but i have doubt that I could make to better and find my style. Is it a good idea to study firstly realism art and after you decided to styles your drawing? Because I made this plan to facilitate the question about anatomy.

I think you should draw what you want to first. Indulge as much as you can as often as you can, and when you start to feel the limits of what you can pull off, then study.

I don't think it matters whether you learn the rules first or aim to stylize first. All artists start one way or the other, and you just pick up the slack where you need to if you do it long enough. Just do what interests you most right now.

In question about inspirations, do you have some books that helps you during the drawing process? Like Jrpg art books? I trying find this type of art books, but i can't find, because have many jrpgs and the games that the style i like so much, i don't think that have a book.

I've taken a lot of my inspiration from many places on the web, including this site, artstation, pinterest, twitter, instagram...

In terms of character designs and prop design stuff, I like settei dreams. It's an expansive library of design works for anime.

If it's for specific JRPG's, unfortunately it might be difficult to pick up those books. I'd recommend looking around amazon.jp, kinokuniya, book off, maybe even mandarake for second-hand sales of harder to find books.

Hello your art is incredible, you are one of my inspiration to trains in drawing. Continues what are your inspirations to your drawing? Thanks for your attention.

Hello, thanks! I'm glad I'm inspiring you!

Some of my inspirations when developing my style were from animators/anime + game character designers like Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, Tatsuyuki Tanaka, Yoh Yoshinari, Kinu Nishimura, Akihiko Yoshida, Yoshitaka Amano... lots, lots more. And also too many online artists to count.

In terms of illustration, I took a lot of inspiration from woodblock print artist, Hiroshi Yoshida, and also a bit from illustrators like Norman Rockwell, Dean Cornwell, Walter Everett, Moebius, Jamie Hewlett... I could go on.

Anyways, Good luck on your journey!

I love your artstyle and colors so so much! Do you have a patreon or any classes, tutorials, shops or anything I can support you and learn from you?

Thank you so much! Unfortunately right now I do not. I do have a ko-fi where I eventually plan on uploading some things but at the moment I'm a bit busy so it might be some time before I really get around to it.

I love your ocs so much!! It's very rare i look at female characters that have a vibe that speaks to me, all of yours do that , thank you for your ocs and wonderful works!

Thank you so much!

Just wanted to say that your commission work for vshoujo is aesthetically pleasing and calming and I'm so sad I couldn't get a mouse pad lol

Thank you! I think I heard that mousepads will go back on sale when supply chain stuff stabilizes, so if you still wanna get one maybe keep on the lookout!
