How are you those days?

Hoo boy that is a loaded question lemme tell ya.

Without goin into too much detail, it has not been an easy year mental health wise and it has impacted my work.

Steps are being taken to improve things but yeah, it's rough XD

So far, what's been your favorite piece you made this year?

Easily gotta be this one X3

Play any good games/watch any good movies/read any good books?

I have been hopelessly obsessed with Risk of Rain 2 recently. Actually unlocked all abilities and skins for all characters today as well XD

Been reading the Delicious in Dungeon manga too. That shit slaps!!

RoR2 is awesome. Who do you main? I go for Huntress, personally.

Been hopping between different characters but Loader's gotta be my favourite so far XD

Engineer and Mul-t are also great!

Since how much time you started drawing?

I started drawing since I was a little lad but I started taking it more serious when I was around 16-17 years old

Dang, that's really good dedication 0_0

What is the one thing in your art that you struggle with the most and/or want to improve on?

Beside everything, I'd say anatomy easily. I have a very surface level understanding of it but I know if I took the time to learn it properly I could elevate my art even further.

Colour too. I just wanna understand colour theory better

I have a pretty good sense of anatomy, having studied the skeletal, muscular, and organ systems of many creatures, humans included, as well as three-dimensional form and flow. If there are any particular aspects of anatomy you'd like to improve on, I can offer some pointers.

I may have to take you up on that tbh

Feel free to let me know here, in notes, or on Discord

I have a good grasp of color theory as well. To understand why certain combinations of colors look good to us, we must first understand the phenomena behind color: electromagnetic radiation.

Science Stuff
Light occurs as electromagnetic radiation that is measured in wavelength nanometers. The established frequencies are radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. We'll focus on visible light for the remainder of this mini-lesson.

Visible light is commonly split into six major colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Historically, indigo was often listed between blue and violet (leading to the acronym "ROYGBIV") but is usually left out in favor of light blue nowadays.

You may have heard of the color wheel, where each color has a complimentary color? The traditional pairs are red-cyan, blue-yellow, and green-violet (or purple or magenta). This is largely due to the fact the retina of the human eye has cones for picking up red, green, blue, and yellow light, while cyan and magenta are the result of two sets of cones being stimulated at once. Red and green make yellow, which compliments blue. Blue and green make cyan, which compliments red. Red and blue make magenta, which compliments green. (Fun fact: magenta and purple don't actually exist as spectrum colors. That is to say, they don't have their own wavelengths. They're a result of our eyes processing red and blue or violet light at the same time.)

Hue is not all there is to color, of course. You also have saturation and volume (or brightness). Saturation is how intense a color is; the closer a color is to white, grey, or black, the less saturated it is. Volume is how bright or dark a color is; high volume makes a color look brighter and is known as "faded", while low volume makes a color look darker and is known as "muted". For example, "ice blue" is a faded blue, while "navy blue" is a muted blue.

White, grey, and black are not themselves true colors, incidentally; white is the result of all colors being processed at once at high volume, grey is the result of all colors being processed at mid to low volume, and black is the absence of color. This is why white is the brightest of all "colors".

Choosing Colors
When selecting colors for anything, you want to observe not only hues but also saturation and value. For example, say you want a pattern consisting of a solid-color background with highlight shapes; you want the background and highlights to have complimentary saturation and volume as well as hue. The background generally wants to be darker and/or less saturated than the highlights. A navy blue background with bright yellow stars looks nice; the yellow stars really pop from the dark blue. Or you could have a dark green background with bright red-orange flames. These combinations provide contrasts that are more "comfortable" to look at.

Colors don't have to be strictly complimentary, but it's a good idea to balance out warm colors with cool colors and vice versa.

Oh wow wasn't expecting this!
These basics were rattling in my head somewhere but I couldnt explain them lmao.

Interesting about purple and magenta tho!

I for sure gotta shoot you a message on discord or somethin at some point XD

Want to draw Reiko again? x3

I wouldn't complain if I was able to X3

What kinda music do you like listening to, and do you listen to it while drawing?

Love me some metalcore!
I typically listen to video essays on youtube while I work tho XDD

Got any favorite bands? Also, I like listening to video essays too while arting 😁

I Prevail and Bring me the Horizon are always a safe bet XD

Linkin Park's new stuff fuckin slaps too

Ah sweet. I usually listen to industrial metal and post punk, so stuff like Ministry, Killing Joke, The Cure, Joy Division, and Nine Inch Nails.

What was your first bondage drawing? The VERY first!

Long gone by now in some sketch book I no longer own lmao.

Do you remember any of the details?

I was wrong my first bondage artworks were actually done in ms paint many many moons ago. They were poor attempts and random characters tied up not a lot I can remember beyond that though

I was just curious -- I think mine might have been me trying to copy something out of a spiderman comic. Many moons ago like you say XD
