Hi Nico! Did You Know

hi nico! did you know

toddoestuff u have a name that is similar to my friends old username from 2019 so everytime i see u in my notifs i, for but a moment, think u are my dear buddy somehow time traveling from when i was 14.

also woah but did YOU know

BTW i colored most of this i did by just dropping really big circles at low opacity w a watercolor texture brush and let the overlaps create lighting for me! and then rendered over it to emphasize the folds

^^ since ppl been asking how i rendered this (the trick is that i kinda didn’t!!)

MIDNIGHT COWBOY

OH AMOTHER THING: i mostly colored this in a slightly grayscale and slapped overlays on it

MIDNIGHT COWBOY

your art is so exciting and inspiring to me!! I used to be crummy and bitter abt skilled artists that are younger than me but seeing your art I'm just excited to see what you keep making and where your skill and drive will carry you (excellent places I'm sure!!) I especially love how u draw scars. And stomachs! and your use of colour is sooo nice the curve adjustment to kinda mattify the art really works for u

i read this a while back and forgot to say a big thank u !!! so thank u!!! let’s all make pictures together forever :)

hi!!! i saw on your bio that your requests are open but is there any chance you may have commissions open? id love to have an oc of mine in your art style

they aren’t open right now !! honestly i’ve been putting off reopening them for a while mostly bc i’ve been horrendously slow with getting art done and i was very, VERY late with the last batch ;;;;; i feel guilty taking them on rn

that being said. i will need cash for light box expo so MAYBE opening in october Maybe. maybe. no promises (thank u for ur interest tho!!)

hi! im an art student and im supposed to research artists who inspire me for a 2D-Design project. Part of the project is finding out which artists inspire my inspirations. So, who are some artists who inspire you? (doesnt just have to be drawing, could be any type of artist)

thank u and ur art is cool :3

O BOY OKAY i’ll just drop a bunch of usernames !!!! these guys fill my heart w joy love etc (these r all twt username but probably same for other platforms as well)

spacecrumble (instagram handle!!!)

worthikids (animation but also music)

those are just off the top of my head! all of their work shapes my life a little bit everyday forever i feel

kevin macross n spacecrumble display quiet intimacy in their work that inspires me more than maybe anything else on this list. i rlly admire capturing that sorta muted but real emotion between people more than any technical or aesthetic work because it’s SO hard for me to do, i’d love to learn how to!
