do you by any chance draw inspiration from (amongst other things) jak and daxter and nickelodeon's avatar? i was just having a look at your deviantart and i really got a strong vibe that your work has been influenced by both these things...

Totally love them both so much omg. I rewatched all of Avatar on Netflix recently and all the nitpicks I had back when it was airing didn't even matter because as a complete story/world package its just SO quality and I'm still grateful for its existence and for helping to bring attention to fantasy based on non-european cultures. Love Legend of Korra too though I have been a bit frustrated with it. Industrialization of magic-based societies is MY MOST FAVORITE OF THINGS and my own fantasy story has been trying to address the political ramnifications of technology making magic use obsolete, since nonmagic users are traditionally an underclass blablabla man that finale tho. I dont even know.I have some old Jak & Daxter fanart on DA XD and I got the remastered collection for PS3, replaying it all, and I'm just in love again with everything uuuugh. The aesthetic is still just so unique and pushes all my happy buttons, its got everything I ever want in my games, and, well, makes me a little sad too because they just dont make em like this anymore. (Ratchet and Clank franchise is over now too, sob) Dont get me wrong I love Uncharted but Ill take Jak & his annoying talking animal sidekick over Nathan Drake, mass-murdering treasure hunter any day.

Instagram sure took their sweet time coming to Android so now *I* have to make up for lost time. Everyone loves filters, amirite? PREPARE FOR INSTASPAM.

...more clothes augh

I read Bunny's discussion about her intentions/goals and so I mean, *flail*, what with the awesome tag its crowdsourced costume design almost, cannot deal. CLOTHES. I love stripes too but I'm super biased toward vertical ones especially on legs #teamverticalstripes :p

There's this special kind of el wire that's braided and animated in a way that makes it look like flowing liquid/marching ants/THE FUTURE so imagine that on the bolero jacket hnnnnnnghggh dear gOD I want to make it seriously Bunny if you're reading this I would absolutely make that for you just say the word because ROBOT CLOTHES GODAMMIT my stupid sketchbook is filling up with doodles of costumes (yup, totally including hatchy & the spine) adfhgdaadsdgf

I think I might take a break tho, I just want to make everything so badly but I can't (need a new sewing machine, moving soon, currenly traveling for work bla bla bla)... and it's starting to hurt my feelings T_T

I just love costumes so much you guys *ugly crying*

Been stumbling through months and months of frustrating art constipation where my drawing attention span is just not even there, and my ability to simply draw anyway has been faltering? Normally I don't sweat this and if drawing is too hard I just take a break from it but that hasn't been an option this year (I am SO poor you guys)

Doodling a fun thing yesterday I thought would get me more motivated and excited about drawing but even then I just constantly felt like stopping! Today I am workin on another commission and its a bit of the same story. BLARRHHHHhh

Anywaaaaay. This is Megla she is a unicorn faun and I want to make a costume for my best friend, pretty much every time I design a random character Im like DUDE THIS NEEDS TO BE A COSTUME I'm totally gonna do it ok it's gonna have glowing sparkly hair and tail (leds and fiber optic threads) and digigrade legs (I found some tutorials!) and its gonna be so awesome XD I notice when I have artblock its not so much creative block so much as I wanna do something else I wanna make stuff :E But crafts have waaay more overhead when I make money I have to buy food instead of art supplies

I love worldbuilding wednesday <3 First of all I LOVE your fauns- I hadn't seen any until you posted that picture of Megla. She makes me happy. Anyway, to the question. How do you go through developing overall? I know some people start with one race and then work outwards, while some start with like landscape then go down to nations and races and fine details. Also, what's your favorite part about worldbuilding?

For me worldbuilding has always been an extension of creating characters. The design usually comes with all you need to know about where they come from, so for me its always an exercise in extrapolating. Species and biology of character- are they fantastical in a magical/fantasy kind of way? A monstery/occult way or alien way, etc? Are they a robot (or a person turned into a robot which makes things extra interesting cos I love a good existential crisis)? Climate and technology level of society as indicated by clothing and/or accessories...

My favorite bits to work on are probably magic systems and politics, I don't even try but I suppose I am obsessed with politics at a level that it sneaks in to every story I have even when I don't intend for it to, so uh, I go with it XD
