took me awhile to realize the this:
Was a mistranslation (cause I never read the manga) but it made so much sense!
like, where do you cut stuff? In the kitchen! Also it was funny so yeah.
I absolutely love your art! It makes me so happy that I literally get overexcited sometimes and have to take a break to stim. You convey so much expression and depth with even the most basic/fewest lines (meant in a good way!!), your sketches, finished colour pieces, all the different brushes and textures you use, the various styles, they're all absolutely awe-inspiring. I enjoy checking your page so much, your artistic talent and your creativity in world building so much is incredible.
I was wondering how long it took you to get so good at making art/being so creative and thinking outside of the box? And also if you have any tips to get better at art? Or what helped you advance overtime?
(I'm so sorry this is so much word vomit, sometimes I'm too shy to talk to people and sometimes I cannot stop)
what a lovely ask! thank you anon this made my day :)
to answer ur questions:
getting better is a continuous process, though as with anything sometimes you take steps forward and other times you take steps back (been feeling kind of drained of all creative energy this year due to irl things out of my control so i havent met my own expectations, but that happens!). so yeah im hesitant to put a time limit on 'getting good'
actionable advice on getting better at art:
-draw what you love, you dont have to do things just because you think they'll make you improve.
-look at your own art after its finished and think about what you can improve on next time without being mean to yourself
-draw lots of different things, figure out what you like best
-steal poses, art styles, techniques etc from artists you like. do studies if you want, its good to steal (with credit)
good luck!!!

Excellent idea
I don't care for modern/no transmigration aus where shen yuan is all shy and innocent. This is the man who goes to brothels for information and makes friends everywhere he goes. Even in a normal setting I wholeheartedly believe he'd have connections, especially with his status as a rich kid.
I want a fic where Shen Yuan finds Binghe bleeding out in an alley and he's like "damn, calling an ambulance could get this guy in trouble... let me just call that underground doctor who I'm buddies with, he'll fix this guy up and I can pay him in cash so my dad won't ask about a huge bill on my credit card."
So many mafia aus would be way funnier if they were more realistic to how rich people actually act
Binghe: I'm a CRIMINAL I'm part of a GANG
Shen Yuan: um yeah I know, my friends buy cocaine from you
Binghe:
Shen Yuan: anyway
This is a fun writing idea especially since with those eyes, is sonics friends ever got a glimpse of Shadow they would be rightfully freaked and doubt themselves when they blink and hes gone
shadow but he's a literal shadow
After the events of the novel I bet the truce between the demonic & human realms mean that Liu Qingge (begrudgingly) takes it onboard that he can't just go around killing every single demon he fights anymore. Or fighting every single demon he meets either. There needs to be a good reason.
But Liu Qingge being Liu Qingge, he still gets into fights with a lot of demons. Sometimes he does still kill them as well, if they're causing problems that merit it (like going around attacking humans). However, increasingly if he gets annoyed with some demon who is doing something worthy of a fight but not necessarily worthy of an on-the-spot execution, he just beats them up and then leaves. Look, see, he's making an effort! He's avoiding political incidents!
Except then of course there are the myriad subsequent political incidents caused by all these demons coming to Cang Qiong to declare that they accept Liu Qingge's proposal.
