KKEENNDDRICK!! THANK YOU FOR THE CONTENT I OWE YOU MY LIFE! IT IS YOURS AND I AM IN YOUR DEBT /POS

YOUR WELCOME!!! BUT ITS OKAY PLEASE KEEP YOUR LIFE, IM CLUMSY ILL PROBABLY DROP IT

YOOO I just love the way you draw the ghouls 😭 They’ve got such cute little ears and all the colouring is just PERFECT?? I gotta ask who’s YOUR favourite to draw cause I can’t pick just one as my favourite 😭

Oh god you’re making me choose between my children!!! I think hands down, my favorite has to be Aether, followed up by Aurora simply because lavender/purple is my favorite color and space and star themes are a guilty pleasure of mine. Also something about their pearlescent/iridescent horns makes me so giddy, like I am a crow and they are oooo shiny objects!!!

TELL US ALL OF YOUR GHOUL HEADCANONS ‼️🙏💕

I mean, you asked for this!!! This is probably not all of my headcanons, just the ones I could remember off the top of my head, as this is all still a work in progress for me!

I will also include the Ghouls pictures again so people can refer back their designs cause I do touch on design choices for them as they, to me, are included in headcanons as every makes their ghouls unique on some way.

Okay, first up!

DEWDROP!!

There’s a lot for this man. So, Dewdrop used to be a water ghoul, however he’s not a multighoul like Swiss, Sunshine and Aurora because his element was transmuted during the binding ritual when he was passed from Terzo to Copia. So, my brain thought “what is water-like fire” and it landed on magma! So that’s why he looks volcanic. His gills closed over and became lava cracks, his fish scales became reptilian, and now he runs hot like a furnace. His ears are pointed like fire ghouls, but have points kinda like fish fins still. Dew also has fire manipulation and can essentially ignite fires (commits minor arson constantly) but that’s how he lights his cigarettes. He still has retained a great lung capacity and can hold his breath long enough to almost rival Rain’s infinite breath. The biggest trouble maker of the Ghouls and the worst influence on newer ghouls (i.e Phantom). He’s the shortest of the dudes, but makes up for it by setting you on fire if you make short jokes.

Also!!! I am a defender of the dark-hair Dewdrop design!! I know it’s very common for him to have blonde or white hair, but it was just not giving for this design. I tried, I promise! (I’m glad I’ve been seeing people love it though! My agenda is spreading!)

For fire ghoul visuals, I definitely focused on emulating glowing flame visuals, using red, orange, yellow, and white to give that effect with browns and blacks to make them look crispy. Scales and long pointed ears that go upward are also common for fire ghouls.

PHANTOM

Quintessence Ghouls are basically space and/or ghostly types of ghouls, as quintessence to me is everything between the elements and makes up everything (like stardust!!) Phantom, as a Quintessence ghoul can “see beyond the elements” with what I call aura reading at the moment, like seeing vibes and emotions. They can also float! Or slow their falls essentially. Not really fly like air ghouls. Phantom is actually, to me, one of the three most chaotic ghouls, alongside Dew and Swiss, and causes a lot of chaos at the Ministry. My favorite joke with my two wives who I discuss all this lore with often is that Phantom once pissed in the Unholy Water Bowl in the West Chapel right before a midnight mass, which caused a lot of problems for the Ghoul Den Overseer. Just to illustrate the shit Phantom pulls at the Ministry.

But specifically for Phantoms visuals, he reminds me of the moon, the tone of gray, his swirling vitiligo-esc patches. He has really dark eyes which is not very common for Quintessence ghouls.

AETHER

The second tallest and most beefiest of all the Ghouls. I mean, have you seen the arms on that man!!!! Like Phantom, Aether has the aura reading ability and is the expert at floating and slowing his falls (it’s how he achieves all the wild jumps on stage, like dude gets air time). His freckles actually form constellations, and on his shoulder you can see the Big Dipper cause he’s a big guy (yes that’s the joke, that’s why I gave him the Big Dipper). Aether acts as one of the minders of the Ghoul Den, kind of like the exasperated dad of the group. Tries his best to fix the chaos the other Ghouls cause to lessen the work of the Ghoul Den Overseer, put out Dew’s fires, etc. Also a fuzzy guy, which is uncommon for Quintessence ghouls, like he’s so soft somehow.

For Quintessence Ghoul designs, I really wanted to focus on the space aspect. All of them have space freckles, and their horns all swirl in some way (Phantom and Auroras swirling physically, and Aethers have swirling grooves/markings on them). Also, their ears are bovine-like in someways, cause I’ve always categorized Aether as like a space cow in my head. Their color palettes usually veer towards magenta, purple, and indigo (cause those are my favorite colors and Quintessence ghouls are my favorite).

RAIN

As a water ghoul, Rain has gills, fins on various parts of his body, and webbed fingers and toes (it’s a bit freaky). Also, serrated teeth like a piranha. If you’ve ever touched a fish, that wet feeling of their scales is how it feels to touch him. He can breathe underwater with his gills and will often be found in the lakes on the Ministry’s grounds when he needs to chill. His tail is a bit thick than other ghouls, as well as finned to help with swimming. Also water manipulation abilities! (It’s giving Cleo from H2O). He’s also bioluminescent! His scales and the lighter markings on him all glow

He does participate in problem causing sometimes, but is also exasperated mom of the group (cue his disappointed mom pose of hands on hips). Aether and Rain are the duo that hold Dew up by his arms while he’s trying to sprint towards trouble. Rain often has his hair pulled back in pony tails, or braided as he has a lot of hair, and it’s gets in the way while he’s swimming.

Water ghouls in general have everything above that I’ve already mentioned for Rain, all the fish like aspects. They tend to be blue toned and have a variety of scale coloration, often green, blue and purple in tones (duochrome, iridescent, pearlescent, etc).

MOUNTAIN

Biggest of the Ghouls and third beefiest! He’s also fuzzy! Mountain has a connection with the earth (duh, all earth ghouls do), which allows them to feel the “heartbeat of the earth”, gives them that killer rhythm on the drums. He’s big into growing plants and taking care of the Ministry’s gardens, which he excels in as Earth ghouls also can affect plant growth as well as other earth things like soil. The flowers behind his ear in the art are actually Belladonna, also known as Deadly Nightshade!

Mountain also has two ways to shift himself, one being normal legs and his most natural ghoul state is hoofed/goat legs, which is why he doesn’t like wearing shoes (it’s a weird feeling). His horns are gigantic as Earth ghoul horns tend to be, and have a cracked earth/clay patterning (his very first design iteration had cracked clay skin, but I did not like how it looked). His coloration and markings are very deer like, along with his ears. Mountain is very quiet compared to the rest of the Ghouls, he gives cryptid energy while at the Ministry.

Earth ghouls in general tend to lean towards more green and brown tones, with the previously mentioned giant horns. They can also have a variety of mammal like variations to them, but the most common is forest animals like deer, beer, wolves, coyotes, etc. They tend to be the fluffiest of the ghouls, and also the biggest. It’s just natural for them to be tall.

SWISS

Being a multighoul of all elements, he basically is a shadow ghoul (mix all paint colors and you get dark brown/black was my idea). He’s the third tallest and the second beefiest ghoul. Swiss has shadow manipulation abilities and can kinda merge into the shadows, which he uses to sneak around, cause problems and prank people. Also as a multighoul of all elements, he can kind of emulate abilities of other elements, like him being able to hold his breathe underwater longer than natural, his singing voice is siren-like similar to air ghouls, etc. He’s also fuzzy!!

Also, Swiss is the biggest accessorizer and has the most piercings of all the ghouls. He likes how it gives him some pizzazz. Also has gifted every ghoul at least one set of jewelry they are ornamented with (thought it was funny to get Dew the upside cross earrings).

And Satanas, the shit this man gets up to. There is a reason he’s on his stage of shame most of the time. Swiss enables all of Dew’s chaos with a giant smile on his face. It’s like winding up a toy and letting it spin.

Little side note about Multighouls, there are only two all element Multighouls in the Ministry, one being Swiss, the other actually being Phil! The Special Ghoul! He was once seen playing several instruments, signifying his elemental range, but tends to keep to himself compared to Swiss.

AURORA

The newest multighoul, and second multighoulette! Aurora is dual elemental, Air and Quintessence which together makes her embody an Aurora Borealis (her name sake). With her two elements, she gets her skin coloration and patterning, eyes, and swirling horn from her Quintessence aspect. Her space freckles are a bit more on the bluer side due to the air aspect however, as well as her second set of horns as air ghouls often have two sets of horns or two pronged horns. Her ears are bovine and bat-like. She has smaller wings compared to a full air ghoul, but her floating ability also helps. It’s a very interesting combo to watch. Also, her hair is just naturally like that, no hair dye involved. Don’t ask her how it changes color as it grows, she doesn’t know.

Aurora is probably the most energetic of the Ghoulettes, and is besties with Swiss. Is constantly helping him get into shit. In general is an accomplice to Swiss and the Ghoulettes. She loves being involved in the shit they all pull. And despite her stature, as the shortest of all the Ghouls, she will body a bitch (the shorter you are the closer to hell you get)!

CUMULUS

The biggest, fluffiest hair. It’s so long and so much and it’s her pride and joy! It’s how she got the name Cumulus because of how much it reminded Copia of cumulus clouds. As an Air ghoul, Cumulus has large bat-like wings that allow her to fly. They can be folded and retracted if need be as they can get in the way. In the Ghoul Den, the Air Ghouls have a loft only accessible to those with wings, or if you tempt fate and get someone to throw you. Cumulus’s air ghoul horns formed in the shape of crescents, so she doesn’t have two sets, instead is categorized as two pronged.

As previously mentioned, Air ghouls have siren-like voices (referencing Greek myth sirens being bird women) and Cumulus is the epitome of this ability. Can get people to do her bidding just by whispering sweet words into their ears.

Cumulus and Cirrus are a duo, as they were summoned together and bonded over being Air Ghoulettes, if you see one of them, the other is not far away or far behind.

CIRRUS

The tallest of the Ghoulettes and somehow the chillest comparative to the others. She’s still a ghoul though, so the chaos scale is broken anyway. As previously mentioned, she is Cumulus’s other half and visually is opposite of her on many ways. Darker, straight hair which is uncommon for Air ghouls, along with darker eyes. She also has the biggest wing span of all the Air Ghouls, and is the fastest with Sunshine a close second. Her vocals are second to Cumulus’s however. Not nearly at the level of controlling, but she can still bring anyone to their knees if need be.

Truly, Cumulus and Cirrus are a power couple amongst the Ghouls because their siren abilities affect Ghouls as well, just to a lesser degree, so if need be (with a good enough bribe) they can put a pause on the chaos if it gets too out of hand. The bribe has to be really good like, they like watching shit get crazy.

SUNSHINE

Finally, Sunshine. The first multighoulette summoned, and her dual elements are Air and Fire. Her fire like appearance veered away from volcanic like Dew to being like Sun Spots (areas on the sun that are darker than the rest of it) and that’s why her scales are rounded compared to Dew’s. Her wings are also smaller like Aurora’s, still bat-like but also gives dragon because of the reptilian aspect of Fire ghouls. She does have two sets of horns which she likes to ornament like Swiss.

Sunshine and Aurora bond over being air based multighoulettes and also have joined the multighoul secret club with Swiss and Phil. What do they do there? Well, it’s a secret of course. It wouldn’t be a secret club otherwise!

Also, there have been several cases of arson that have been committed that were blamed on Dewdrop, but were actually done by Sunshine, but she’s a great liar and loves getting Dew in trouble. She like orchestrates that shit.

Now that I’ve touched upon all of the air ghouls, basically, air ghouls tend to be either teal or yellow in tone, usually with cloud like markings (however Aurora and Sunshine’s dual elements change that). Their ears tend to be bat shaped, along with them sporting the large bat wings that give them the ability to fly. There have been cases, however, that air ghouls have feathered wings, the only known case being the first summoned keyboardist, aptly named Air. No one knows why he’s the only one, he just claims it’s cause he’s cool like that. Also mentioned the siren like voices, it’s not a universal Air ghoul ability, some more attuned with it than others, but it’s quite common seeing as all four Ghoulettes along with Swiss possess the ability to some degree (Air does not because he’s not cool like that).

GHOULS IN GENERAL

Kind of wanted to go into some general stuff for the ghouls within the Ministry and the Summoning process.

When a Ghoul is summoned by a Papa (the only person really sanctioned to summon ghouls with some exceptions of course), they are bound to that Papa, with some sort of mark to signify this binding. For the Papas, they each use their individual grucifixes as this marking (Copia’s ghouls were for a while marked with the basic Grucifix because he was initially a Cardinal. Technically, during that Era, the Ghouls should have been bound to Nihil, however Sister Imperator pulled the exception card for her little Cardi. Once Copia became Papa, the binding ritual was redone to remark them with his new grucifix). All of the ghouls do have grucifixes essentially tattooed onto their body in different locations, but there’s a lot of development for that and some still undecided so that can’t wait until I’ve drawn full bodies for all the ghouls.

Also, mentioned a few times in this was the Ghoul Den Overseer, who is actually a Sibling of Sin character of mine (because I over indulge myself and this is my lore interpretation anyway, I do what I want). Their “confirmation” name (christened? Sataned?) is Rigoria/Rigorian, last name Mortuous. Yes, it’s a play on Rigor Mortis but my name is literally Bones. I will be drawing them as well at some point so I can show you guys my interpretation of the Siblings of Sins in different Papal Eras.

Have you thought about/are you planning on doing other ghoul designs too? I'd love to see Ifrit, Air, Omega, ect. in your style!

I have thought a bit about the other ghouls!!! The version of the Ministry I’m developing for lore is where all of the Papas are alive, the first three just retired, where all the Ghouls still chilling at the Ministry.

Here’s a little doodle of Phil without his helmet I did while working on the others (as he’s also a multighoul like Swiss)!

I know for a fact that I want Omega to be very deep space vibes, maybe eyes of a black hole. I’m also considering Alpha being a blue fire ghoul as to me, Alpha and Omega are like “prime elemental ghouls” like the peak of their elements and abilities. Blue is the hottest fire, and deep space is horrifyingly beautiful!

For Ifrit, I don’t have a specific idea just yet as I want visual input and help from my wife Warden who is Egyptian and has more insight on Ifrit and Islam than me, so Ifrit’s design will most likely be a group effort between me and him!

Onto Air, I mention in my giant yap post in the air ghoul section that Air has feathered wings compared to the usual bat wings! I also imagine him to possibly be on the more yellow side of the air ghoul color palette.

Oh, and then there’s Earth. Earth’s mammal reference is giving bear and moose in my head. Earth also gives me intense like, cryptid Bigfoot vibes, even more so than Mountain.

Hopefully will get to drawing all of them. I want all of the designs to go into my character design portfolio so they are all very important to me.

I just saw your Ghouls designs! They're GORGEOUS. My favourite is Mountain and I very much want to know your headcanons about him!

Hiiii!!! Welcome fellow Mountain enjoyer!!! Here are some of my Mountain thoughts and headcanons for him. Probably not everything, but I’m still in the process of getting all my thoughts in order!!!

Mountain, as I mentioned in my giant yap post about all of the Ghouls, does like to take care of plants and all of the gardens on Ministry grounds, but he does have his own special garden where he grows Hell native plants which only the Ghouls are allowed to consume (if a human tries, they will probably die). Mountain is very specific about the conditions of the garden and who may or may not enter. Mountain also grows the “Devil’s Lettuce” (I think I’m so funny) but it’s not human weed, it’s Hell’s equivalent because Ghouls have a higher tolerance for things like weed, drugs, alcohol, etc. from their demonic constitutions. Beware getting invited to a smoke session with the Ghouls, you will mostly likely be smoking something ten times stronger than you’re used to.

Mountain tends to intimidate Siblings of Sin simply for his height and sheer size, and he’s a very quiet Ghoul compared to the others. They are right to be intimidated because despite his quiet nature, he is still a Ghoul. Mountain may not act “feral” or “animalistic” often like the others, but when he is, he’s terrifying. He’s accidentally sent a Sibling to the hospital once when they decided to fuck with him, thinking he wouldn’t retaliate. The Sibling clearly forgot Earth Ghouls are notorious, not just for their size, but also their strength and massive teeth. Let’s just say that Sibling had to get a lot of stitches.

Mountain doesn’t often walk the Ministry grounds in his full Ghoul form (i.e his hoofed legs), mainly does it in the comfort of the Ghoul Den. He finds wearing shoes to be a very strange feeling as they separate him from the earth, kind of muffles the thrum of the earth that Earth Ghouls feel. Previously mentioned why he is sometimes seen not wearing his shoes or boots while playing drums, to prevent that thrum from being muffled when he needs to feel the beat. When he’s gardening, you’ll see him barefoot, and when he’s within his personal garden in the Ghoul Den, he’s always hoofed.

Once, Mountain was led to the bell tower by Swiss and Dewdrop (they told him there’s a really good few of his favorite area of the Ministry) and instead of seeing a beautiful view, he saw the roof of the building beneath him because Swiss and Dew wanted to test how sturdy Mountain was as an Earth Ghoul of his size and pushed him off the bell tower. He was quite sturdy, in fact, that he was not injured whatsoever, and instead broke through the roof as well as the upstairs floor of the building. The Ghoul Den Overseer nearly had an aneurysm that day over having to find a repair company that would work with the Ministry (not many people open to a Satanic church) after Dewdrop and Sunshine set one of the workers from the last crew on fire.

Mountain, being a very unassuming Ghoul, has taken advantage of that fact. Mountain doesn’t often involve himself in the various hijinks of the other Ghouls, but when he does, Mountain will sometimes act as the unassuming secret agent. The amount of times, despite his size, Mountain does not get clocked for getting up to shit cause they assume he’s never involved. Mountain has pulled off stealing or moving many items from the Papas, like their hats and robes, for the other Ghouls to graffiti, and returning them to their original location without anyone noticing. He also uses this skill against his fellow Ghouls. Taking important things of theirs and blaming it on other Ghouls. He finds it delightful, using people’s incorrect perception on his chill nature against them.

OH WISE ONE OF THE CLOUDS!! DROP A COWBELL DESIGN, AND MY LIFE, IS YOURS!!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Hi!!!!! It is I, the wise one of the clouds (apparently)!!! I do plan on designing Cowbell at some point!

I already have a pretty solid idea of what I’m planning on for his design, as I plan on making him a multighoul, specifically another dual elemental ghoul of the elements Quintessence and Earth as I tend to draw Quintessence ghouls with some bovine like features, and Earth ghouls in general have mammal features, so it’s perfect for him! His coloration will probably be space on them, with the space freckles, possibly with longhorn bull horns as well as having more of a green tone to his features. So, green galaxy space cow.

I’m OBSESSED with your ghoul designs!!! they are so perfect and the attention to detail is insane✨you are so talented!! Do you plan on doing all the ghouls from all the eras? (this is me asking if big earth ghoul is a possibility in the future)

Sending you all my appreciation and love🤍🤍

Hi!!! Thank you so much!!!!

I do plan on design ALL of the Ghouls at some point, and have been thinking about different ways I wanna design them, so don’t worry they are all on the agenda. I’m pretty sure Big Earth is the second drummer (correct me if I’m wrong) which I’ve also seen called Pebble, which to me is really funny the two different names being so opposing.

I haven’t given him too much thought just yet, but I’m definitely feeling something Bison or Elk for his mammal aspect, I want him to be Big and Broad. Reaaaal big horns too, and his unusual big blue eyes staring at you.

I don’t know why all my Earth ghouls start feeling like cryptid when I start imagining them,,,

It's fellow Mountain enjoyer again! I just realized the detail of changing the typography for each ghoul's name! Sooooo cool ugh 😩✨ They match their personalities really good and and and I LOVE that detail!

YES!! I’m glad you noticed!!! I probably could have stylized their writing even more if I tried (you know with different brushes and such) but I did my best to make them unique for each of the ghouls and not just my normal handwriting each time. But it’s basically how I imagine each of the ghouls would write their name <3

Hey there,

Sorry to interrupt your day but I just wanted to let you know that I saw your art reposted on Pinterest without giving you any credit.

(If you already knew that then feel to ignore this)

Anyway I hope you have a good day

Hi thank you for letting me know! For some reason my first thought was “oh my god, I’ve made it as an artist, my art is now stolen and put on Pinterest” Snndndndnd

I kinda wanna know which piece you saw to be honest

Hiii I was really inspired by your ghoul/ghoulette drawings and I was wondering if I could also do my own designs :,> idk maybe I'm just really overthinking it and don't have to ask u at all but I'm just being cautious T T

Anyway luv ur art <3

Hi!!!! Of course you can draw your own ghouls and Ghoulettes, I don’t own the rights to designing them. And I love that people can use my art as inspiration for theirs. If you do draw your ghouls, I would love to be tagged so I can see what you make <3

I just ask that you don’t copy my designs one for one

Hi! I’m a mediocre artist and I was just wondering if I could use your art style as inspiration for my own. If you allow me I promise I will credit you! Love your mountain ghoul design btw he’s so pretty :)

Hi!!!! I am perfectly okay with people using my art as a reference for their style, as I understand that is part of an artist’s natural development. And I’d love to see your work, so if you are comfortable tagging me, feel free to!

Just as long as your not tracing it to post and claim as yours, I’m pretty chill with being an inspiration :D

Just wanted to say that I really love your Dew and Mountain designs! Your ghoul/ ghoulette designs inspired me to do my own take on each of the ghouls!

Awww thank you!!!!! I’m so glad that I can inspire people to create, honestly one of my biggest goals as an artist!!!

And your ghoul designs are looking amazing so far!!!

I LOVE YOUR ART I NEED TO CHEW ON IT

I NEED TO PLACE YOUR GHOUL ART ON A SILVER PLATTER ASAP AND GO TO TOWN ON IT /pos

THANK YOU!!!! I’m honestly amazed and so happy by the response I’m getting for my art, after all these years of drawing and people like my silly little guys :D

But yes!! Enjoy your dinner!!! I feel like all the ghouls would taste different,,,, Mountain I imagine like honeysuckles, Dewdrop like cigarettes,,,, no clue the others :D

Hey!! I just saw a photo of yours on Pinterest a few minutes ago, idk how you feel about all that so just wanted to give a heads up!! <33

Thank you for letting me know! I’ve had someone previously mention it. If anyone ever sees my work on another site that I didn’t post (I only post to Tumblr and Twitter at the moment), feel free to message me a link so I can report if necessary, and if it’s on Pinterest or really any site, I highly encourage you guys to comment on the post crediting me as the artist.

I don’t give permission to repost my work even with credit.

Can i just like. eat your ghoul designs

Of course!!! I highly encourage taking a bite out of each of them, they tend to be different flavors and textures!!!

(Whenever anyone wants to eat them, I just think about them printing out the designs and actually eating the paper,,,, please don’t actually do this)

your ghoul designs are genuinely so cool and I love them all dearly! they're canon in my mind and I've been using them as mental references while writing! (and your headcanons too, they are literally So Good)

Thank you so much!! I legitimately am ecstatic everytime someone mentions that my ghouls are now how they view them, or anything along those lines for my designs, headcanons, or created lore.

I do plan on developing my own version of the Ghostverse, with all kinds of lore for the ghouls, the Ministry, the Ghost project etc, and the thought of people choosing my work as something they now imagine as well fills me with so so so much joy as that is my goal as an artist and sometimes writer!!!

But yes!! Writing!!! If you do ever want to share the writing if you do post it here or to ao3 or anywhere, I’d love to see and read it!!!!

Aaaa I don’t know if you would’ve got the notification but I’m so glad you like the phantom goober!!

Yes!!!! I love the little guy! I didn’t think people would draw my ghouls, but I’m so glad you as well as others have taken time to actually draw art of them!!! It makes me so happy :D

Follow up question to eating the ghouls, can i heavily reference them for my own designs with credit? I'm just in love with them

I will say, I’m not the most comfortable with heavy reference of my designs, as I encourage individual creativity and ideas as an artist. Taking inspiration is a-okay in my book, just not taking like 75% of my design and then changing the rest (I’m not saying you’d do that, just as a general thing for anyone else wanting to use my designs as inspiration).

If you do end up drawing them and using me as inspiration, just tag me in it and credit me as the inspiration, it’s the least that I ask, and I’d love to see what you design :D

i have a question about your commissions, when you say character design in the extras does that mean you making a character out of what i say or does it mean drawing from a reference of an already made character? sorry for the kinda stupid question 😭

Not a stupid question, don’t worry! Character design means that I’m working with you to design a completely new character for you essentially. You give me inspiration photos, ideas, descriptions, etc. and I will do my best to design your character for you!

If you already have a character that has references, like already done drawings, picrews, etc, that fee would not be applied. It’s simply an added cost since character design is a much more involved process for me as an artist because I’m trying to make your vision a reality!

I’m very curious to know what art program you use!! And brushes!

Hello!!!! So, I’ve been using Clip Studio Paint for the past 4-5 years now (after Adobe tried to rob me of 250 dollars), and honestly I love it!

Usually, my canvas size is at least 3000x3000 pixels with 300dpi, but recently the size has been increasing, I just like big canvases so I can scale down to smaller sizes easily for print (if I do plan on printing things).

In terms of brushes, the main one I’ve been using lately is RC Side Pencil by Ron Chan (you can get it for free from his Gumroad), but also sometimes SU Cream Pencil (a quite popular brush from the CSP Asset Store, it’s free too).

But to be fair, I kinda just get random brushes from the CSP Asset store and throw it at the canvas and see what I like. But yeah, that’s pretty much it.
