more art i drew for MLBB MGL (june 2021 - march 2022)

i forgot to post this on tumblr as well since i haven’t really been on here much as of late hahaha

2021 was a wild ride! as with previous years… i’m always grateful for the connections i’ve made and to everyone who has kindly taken the time to look at my stuff, it means a whole lot every time!! i guess i became a whole lot maso?? what is with the december piece..

i also managed to achieve some big dreams too (getting my art featured in an official art book, and getting my very first feature in pixivision) never in my wildest dreams would i have ever thought of achieving these kind of things, and perhaps it’s also a sign that i’m slowly improving as well

RL things keep happening! but i’ll try to post everything here soon so my tumblr is as updated as my ig/twitter. i hope i can continue sharing my art to everyone!

i’ll continue to be in your care from here on as well! here’s to hopefully an even better year for everyone

hi raven !! do u have any moots who are people u looked up to before u became moots with them? just curious :-)

Hmmmm… 🤔 A good question!

When I first started out writing, my two inspirations were twstpasta (Mac) and panacea-wishes (Lily). Mac had a very clean and simple interface and a whimsical way of writing, whereas Lily edited together her own banners and focused more on pretty descriptions… I wanted my writing blog to have its own unique flavor like Mac’s and Lily’s did!

You’ll notice that I wrote the last paragraph in past tense, and that’s because both of those writers have since terminated their respective blogs and moved elsewhere💦 but to this day, I still really love them and the work that they do! If you’re interested in continuing to follow them too, you can find Mac at @mcdonaldsnumberone and Lily at @fairlyabookie. However, please note that they no longer take writing requests; they only write what and when they wish to.

Another predominantly text-based blog I enjoyed (and still enjoy!) reading is @pianostarinwonderland. It’s mainly a dumping ground for TWST thoughts and theories, which I do also sometimes share on my own blog. It’s a place I go to when I need to get my brain juices flowing, and sometimes the things they point out make me develop more of an appreciation for the details of TWST! (I also used to be an Azul stan, so I’d run to a fellow Azul stan to feel validated in my screaming, ahah~)

Back around the start of my TWST journey, I mainly relied on @kibadreams and jmee for story translations and rough summaries, respectively. Kibadreams does their best to retain the original “voice” of every character when they translate, and they’re very open about the potential translating mistakes they may have made and they’re striving to improve! Jmee really goes in on the details and the deeper meaning behind character relationships and TWST lore. I really appreciate the work that they have done for the community!

Special shoutout to @mysteryshoptls, whom I first got to know as a friend before they initially set up their translation blog. They’re a great source for vignettes and character lines; their translations really retain the spirit of the original characters in Japanese.

There are also a lot of artists in the TWST fandom that I admire! Seeing their posts always puts a smile on my face, and it inspires me to work hard at my own things too. I especially like seeing their own OCs and takes on certain scenes and characters from the game. It gives me confidence to share my own original works~

@4nimenut (They use very delicate brushstrokes that remind me of watercolors or traditional Chinese paintings! The lighting in their pieces is also very atmospheric~)

@airin-queenz (A very bright and cheery art style! The colors and the shading really pop out.)

@beth-lau (I love how they draw expressions! The arrangement and details… they really bring out the emotions that every character is feeling.)

@k0ushii (Their sketchy art style and color choice is very soft and easy on the eyes! They’ve also done gijinkas for Cookie Run and FNAF characters, which I absolutely adore the designs for!)

@lolitsleia (I love how dumb their OC Alex and Ace are together! lolitsleia really does a bit of everything, from nice fully rendered pieces to funny little sketches and comics of the characters interacting with each other!)

@myuunji (Their Yuu is really adorable and clumsy! It’s lots of fun keeping up their shenanigans in the little doodles and comics they make.)

@pearlwhitecats (Their love for Silver is really pure! I can feel it come off in every Nahime x Silver work they make. I’m also a fan of their cutiepie OC Neviah~)

@renniecirque (Ren has a really unique art style! It almost looks like traditional art instead of digital because of how soft the colors and the line art is. It gives me cottagecore vibes! Very soothing to look at~)

@shimmeryspark (Kana’s art is both cute and detailed! While their fully rendered pieces are a treat, I also really like their chibis–they look so round and squishy, I just want to pinch them with my fingers! Their shrimp-based OCs and Kana (the Yuusona) with Floyd and Ruggie are also adorable and pure~)

@stupidneko (I like how big and expressive their eyes are! I also really love the little details they add to accentuate various pieces, like tiny sparkles or little tuffs of cotton.)

@suiiseis (We share a mutual appreciation and intense brain rot for J word I like how dainty their style is, from the lithe forms of their characters to the way they draw eyes and hair!)

@teuffels (Their vibrant, bouncy colors really bring pieces to life! They also get really experimental with poses and compositions, which always keeps you guessing. Plus, their love for Lilia and Xiao is just so wholesome and endearing!)

@tinyfantasminha (I adore their OC Vic’s sass and their breakdowns over Jack Howl! They’re very talented with drawing poses and coloring in a way that mimics the TWST style!)

@yttrocen (An artist with a very soft and pastel color palette, mainly doing comics and doodles. If I’m not mistaken, they mainly do Tweels, which I can appreciate~)

@zariyen (Yuu Yumehara my beloved he’s so cool and hot and– I’m a huge fan of zari’s work on alternate outfits for Pomefiore! Everything they do is really gorgeously detailed; I could stare at their pieces forever and ever!)

It feels like a really big honor when someone you look up to follows you back! It’s like one of those “wow, senpai noticed me” moments you see sometimes in anime or manga. Of course, I’m not super close to everyone that I listed in this post, and I’ve also met a lot of amazing people and made friends that I didn’t include here (since they didn’t quite fit the parameters of the ask)!!

Please consider checking out their socials and supporting them!! Let’s keep exploring this twisted wonderland together 🎵

SBHAVFYOAOVYDFIVYOAFSOVIAFSL EXCUSE ME FOR BEING DUMB, I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO INCLUDE @chasseuses BECAUSE THEY USED TO BE cursedtwst A WHILE BACK AND THAT’S THE NAME MY BRAIN KEEPS THINKING OF DHLASBIDLASYFIAFYIAFSLIOADS Anyway, if you want TWST memes and shitposts and funny brain rotting, they’ve got it! I think what first got me staring intensely at their blog was Taku’s(multiple) really extensive Jade brain rot posts from a loooong time ago (part 1 and part 2) 😩 I really resonated with those, and they helped to make me swap from the dark side (Azul) to the even darker side (J word) and I also really resonate with their love for R–

Another blog I’d like to add is @rikkadaaaaaaa​ (another blog I sadly forgot in the initial post because the name changed from minilittle-sunflowers)! They do lots of cute and funny doodles of the TWST boys as little gremlins squished into very thematically appropriate costumes though I’m biased and I enjoy Jade in a mushroom suit the most. Rikka is also really chill 👍 I really appreciate that they let me write something based on their artwork, especially since I was pretty nervous to ask them about it.

THAT’S IT, I HOPE I DIDN’T MISS ANYONE ELSE ASDIHBASBOADOBAAS
