I have a few questions!
1. Do you ever plan on showing us more of your sonas and oc's besides ellie and neapotlian?
2. Where do you usually get your design and art inspiration from? Your designs are so unique!
3. Do you plan on posting more art in different styles? Its nice seeing you branch out and seeing your different styles!

HELLO !! thank you for ur curiosity ... its so awesome and exciting ... i appreciate ur questions and the excuse to YAP !!

  1. UHM !! eventually id love to .. ive just been so busy with comms for like , ever .

for now i can at least add like , i kinda consider my sonas to be a singular entity , but also kinda not ... both at the same time . and said entity is literally just me dressed in my favorite outfits plus animal ears . the actual names are elio , ellie , and lio ! elio is like the actual name and ellie and lio are essentially nicknames that lean further into one direction or another . i say this but in actuality most people call me ada :P which is also a nickname . it happens ig . ill respond to any of those names . and in terms of neapolitan flavors elio is vanilla ellie is strawberry and lio is chocolate :D

  1. hrmm . okay so Some artists that inspire me are usamimi_o, m_fancys, wasbiiiladyy, lunesaur, bomal1215, funamusea (<- i just like her art style , dont rly endorse some of the stuff she makes), uhh honestly homestuck had a huge influence on my style . plus loooaaaads more that i dont know the usernames of off the top of my head ... i guess i like art styles with perfectly circular heads sdhkjhg ???!? but tbh i think its important to be inspired by more than just Other Artists , im dipping my toes into making more non-commission work off screen lately and a lot of what inspires me isnt technically other artists but abstract ideas .. evoking universal feelings and such

so like . for example . if you were making a website from scratch , i guess you COULD think "well, i liked fuwubunnycakedollyartsu's website, ig ill try remixing that" however it might be a lot more fun to approach like "what do i want my website to feel like ? a cafe , maybe . how can i decorate it to invoke the feeling of a cafe ? maybe the landing page can resemble a storefront and the navigation menu looks like a chalk menu you'd order off of ?" thats not to say taking inspo from other artists is bad , do that too , im just inserting a tangential opinion about inspo and how to get inspired the most ... effectively ? maybe in ways that dont get brought up a lot in this discussion ? in my opinion anyways lalala

on that note my original inspo for my website was i wanted it to feel like 2013 tumblr lol

  1. i see art styles like cooking , like i have flavor preferences for sure , but i dont always like to cook and eat the exact same thing every time .. sometimes i like a little more of this , a little less of that , etc . i dont really consider myself as having several different art styles , i just have one singular fluid art style because i love to play around !! either way itll definitely continue to show up in my posts . tbh i wish everyone was willing to play with their art more :[ i think people get so caught up in "having an art style" it just makes me sad !! PLAY AND HAVE FUN !! ART IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN !! i hate that people shy away from the idea of having an inconsistent art style as if its a bad thing , like noooo thats your desire for play and whimsy and exploration please give into it ..

ANYWAYSSS THAT WAS SUPER LONG SHOUTOUT IF U READ THE WHOLE DAMN THING !!!!!!!!
