I would be VERY interested in seeing how you go about drawing a demon girl!!!! That means I'm gonna have to draw a proper, not-awful bun girl, to even things out!
@Ashly !!! i love it! i'm dubbing this official fanart! now i have to go furiously draw more bun girls! and the body isn't bad! i just distort bun girl anatomy to the nth degree sometimes i can't even draw them correctly
maybe i should draw sum demon girls hm?
ty for comment on hairy bug, i've seemlessly found a way to make mistakes look like i did it on purpose
@Ashly d'aw, bun girls are my life! i forget other people are looking at my art sometimes. that compliment means a lot to me. (>///<)
when i figure out shading with ink, i'll be sure to tell you. i'll found some success with markers, but it's a slow scary process for me, too. and i i'll be honest, i kinda cheat with line thickness with the art pens.
hitting a wall just means you gotta figure out a way to climb it
Naw, I figured you were around 23-24, but that was a complete guess! I don't think you're allowed on the internet if you're older than 30.
As for ink, I just don't know what I'm doing with line thickness!!!!!! And I have trouble controlling it even when I do go in with a plan. And every time I try to shade with it, it's disastrous. Usually when I hit a wall like this, it means I'm learning a lot, so I guess I shouldn't complain.
You'll definitely for sure never go too long without seeing figure drawings from me. It's my fave. I'll do a bunch tomorrow! I'll flood y'all! I've just been being very lazy these past few days. So much easier to spend 5 seconds drawing Dugtrio or five minutes drawing some Doritos, haha. The faces compliment is staggering to me, though. I've never ever ever ever...(infinity)...ever ever been comfortable with faces. I really need to spend a month just drawing lips and eyes. And your human anatomy isn't too bad. You always pose them very well. I always like the bun girls!
@Ashly you think i'm that old? a lot of people tell me that i'm very mature for my age, but so you don't think i'm super old i'll tell you that i'm actually going to be 23 this year. and 27 is nowhere near ancient! in fact, i'm excited about reaching my thirties so i can be like some old wise sage.
how are you struggling with ink? i really liked your figure drawings in ink and i would've liked to see more of them. i REALLY suck at human anatomy and i think the way you draw faces is totes cute
HA, 16! That's understandable. Anxiety gives a person that youthful vibe, haha. Nope, I'm ancient, already well into my twilight years. Makes it hard to make friends online because everyone's, well, 16. You've never mentioned your age, so I'm just gonna keep assuming you're like 40.
The part about wanting to go back and delete comments makes me laugh, cuz, one: I want to do that all the time, and two: I wanted to do that with my other comment last night. I shoulda taken another few minutes to re-word it. I'm just very enthusiastic about your ink experiments and it's hard not to compare! Plus I've been struggling with the ole ink lately. (Yours ~are~ better though, haha. I can't draw anything on the level of that Solrock.)
As for a different place to talk, I'll let you choose whatever you prefer (And only if you want, of course. No obligations!) I've got a tumblr, I've got an iphone, I've got a Skype, I've got a LINE, I've got a carrier pigeon (I don't), or whatever else.
Also, I don't have anything in particular to ask!! But if you ever find yourself feeling "gee, I'd like to write an essay and make someone read it", I'm your gal. I'd bet you're particularly interesting, though!
@Ashly aw shit. well, fair's fair so i guess i'll blab a bit...
d'aw, i never really mind reading your long-winded answers and i always find anything you have to say interesting! it reminds me a lot of my younger self to a startling degree b/c i dealt with a lot of social anxiety growing up and i remember agonizing over which words to say even in a simple comment on the internet. sometimes i would want to go back and delete a comment because the reply i got completely misunderstood what i was trying to convey.
i have a little confession to make and i did poke around your tumblr once because i wasn't sure what gender to refer to you as and the only thing i found shocking was that apparently you're 27! i don't know why i assumed you had to be 16 because of all your social anxiety or i guess to the degree you expressed you had anxiety made me think it was sort of like you were going through some awkward teenage phase? rather i didn't know how seriously to take it (it's internet after all) but after learning your circumstances i finally understood why that was like your defining trait, at least in most of the personal descriptions you gave.
alas, i dont have much to say about myself. i'm a person. i don't think i'm particularly interesting but i'll be happy to answer any questions you have (though it might be better to exchange information through some other platform that here, lol).
keep up the good fight, friend. i'll always keep an eye out for you ;)
@artbohemian Nooooooooo, I'm very flattered that you wanna know something about me!
The flippant, short answer is "they look cool and horns are cool."
The more open and honest answer requires a bit of amateur psychology. And some Real Talk, so you've been warned, haha. I've spent pretty much all of my life feeling out of place among people, weird, alien, Other. I have a TON of social anxiety, and a lot of it stems from my not understanding how people and socializing and etc work. Most everyone else seem to just get it intuitively, without effort. Meanwhile, I've spent my whole life people-watching trying to learn the rules and guidelines and whatnot, and I still agonize about even the briefest of interactions. Even with you!, a person who has been nothing but kind, and awesome, and warm. I CONSTANTLY wonder things like "Shit, I'm commenting too much" or "No, stop, I'm being annoying" and a hundred more anxieties. But it's worth it, cuz people can be awesome.
So I guess that's part of where the demons and monster-people come in. They look how I feel: weird, creepy, alien, gross, inhuman, atypical, bizarre, out-of-place, "ugly" (in quotes because that's not ~my~ opinion of them, haha. Demons are hawt.) A centaur among a group of humans, in our monster-less world, would always be noticeably different, would always stand out as fundamentally alien. I relate soooooooo hard. So I draw them!
Exacerbating this feeling is the transgender thing. If you look at a bunch of trans people's twitter/tumblr/website bios, you'll notice a disproportionate amount of them describing themselves as trash, slime, witch, garbage, sludge, etc etc etc. That kinda thing. I feel like the demon/monster thing fits into that group. My fascination has definitely increased as I've travelled this path.
Finally, ignoring the psychology/philosophy theorizing, I draw women waaayyyyyy more than men. For a variety of reasons, feminist reasons, sexuality reasons, trans reasons. The art reason is they're so much more interesting and varied, compared to dudes. Greater variance in waist and hips and tiddies. Greater variance in hair, in makeup, in clothing. They're more interesting and challenging to draw, because of the various ways you can draw them, I think. The demon and monster-people thing adds ~~even more variance~~, horns and wings and tails and extra arms and snake bodies and horse halves and snake hair and etc etc etc etc. And they look cool and horns are cool.
So there, haha. Asked and answered, in the only way I know how: long-windedly. And now you owe me an essay about yourself, because now you know way too much about me.

@artbohemian I actually doodled a bun girl a couple weeks ago! It was really bad, though, so I didn't post it! (Lol at that entire body.)
And I try to cheat with art pens, too, it just doesn't really show up!!! You can kiiinda see it on the most bottom left one.
The hairy bug is Really Good. That's a rad perspective.
