Squirrel art, QOTW & music!
Added 2024-06-24 02:19:20 +0000 UTCHello Ali cats, I hope you all had a nice weekend and have a good Monday! :) Apologies this post is a little late. A family member had a birthday today so I was enjoying some time with them this weekend. I’m happy you all seemed to enjoy my new way of drawing thumbnails! Your comments meant a lot so thank you ^_^ I’m going to be starting up polls again this week too- after making one final one of my choosing of course. The infamous goose girl :P
I had a hard time picking a song this week but I’m going to go with one I keep meaning to recommend. I highly recommend watching the video too since it’s really good! “Ronald” by Falling in Reverse. As usual feel free to recommend your own song you’ve been enjoying lately ❤️
Question of the week is this: what is your favorite art style or type of art? It can be anything! For me it’s big bold lines with lots of bright colors (typical 90s kid) lol. I also really enjoy seinen & watercolor art- a big one for me is Tokyo Ghoul :)

You’re so welcome, I’m happy you like it! ^_^ I love the new pfp art too btw. Those abs look very good! I always have trouble drawing muscles myself but love how they look. I’m also a huge fan of sketches. More times than not I like my sketches more than the finished piece haha! XD I also listened to the song and loved it! It gave me Castlevania vibes so thank you for showing it to me :D ❤️

2024-06-27 08:24:10 +0000 UTCSong of the week: Bullug Gegbug Ibgabiug Gixcure Dagabciea Fuic by KEYGEN CHURCH (Ali you don't have to listen to the whole song, only if you want to :P) Question of the week: I assume that by art you mean drawings? I thought about this question for 2 days and I have not a favorite art style or artist. (I cannot pick a favorite I like too many ^^') But I have something different. My favourite things to see from a drawing is the sketch (If there is one) and sketches in general. Because I enjoy seeing the ideas behind a drawing and the process behind it. (It's not the answer to your question Ali, but at least it's something) And I wanted to thank you again Ali for Vivi's name ^^❤️.

2024-06-26 22:31:00 +0000 UTCOh man, that Higher Than Death song was good! I can definitely hear that DOOM vibe and I love it! I agree that they have some of the best video game music I’ve heard ✨ I looked up Darkest Dungeon and that is some nice art! Very dark shadows and lines which I enjoy too. Really pushes that creepy/comic feel. I think the pointillism rose is very sweet. It’s a rose that will never die so that alone makes it the best rose. All the dots are cool to look at too! :D When it comes to Lovecraft, I really like the mystery/darkness of his writing. I also love the fact that he made creatures that people can add to (design, lore, etc.) since the universe is so vast. It’s really cool that all these years later people are still making stories and games that center around the mythos ^_^

2024-06-26 14:10:44 +0000 UTCThat plant piece is so pretty, I love the colors! I’ve tried watercolors a couple of times and it was pretty difficult for me. The style really is beautiful though ✨ I had never heard of Little Nemo in Slumberland until now so thanks for sharing! The art style is very unique. It has that old comic feel but more bold? I’m not sure how to describe it but I love the linework and color!

2024-06-26 13:27:33 +0000 UTCI have to admit that I had never heard that Shawn Mendes song before. I had always heard his name but was never sure what he did so now I know! I can see why you’d like to listen to it while doing band warm up stretches. It’s got a good positive vibe to it ^_^ I appreciate the compliment about the art, thank you! :D When it comes to labeling NSFW art it mainly depends on the site. Over the years I’ve come to learn/read up on what one is ok with and what they aren’t. They usually let you know pretty quick if they aren’t OK with it haha! While not often I do still enjoy drawing it for fun though. For now that’s all I plan on doing with NSFW art is posting for occasional fun :P As for hololive fanart, I’ve done quite a bit! :) They are a bit old now but I have drawn Calliope and a few others. I can’t say I watch them all but I do enjoy their designs for drawing ✨ I hope you have a nice vacation and your check-up goes well!

2024-06-26 05:32:08 +0000 UTCI hope you had a good time too Arty! :) I ate some good food and got to see a lot of new sights since we traveled a lot that day. A very good time though overall! I appreciate you giving your feedback/thoughts on the thumbnail art so don’t feel bad at all! I can see your point about integrating color schemes more natural to the character’s habitat. Kinda like how I did the alligator girl a while back, is that what you mean? I’ve definitely battled with how I want to do thumbnails and what looks best so like I said, your comment is much appreciated. I’ll play around with it sometime ❤️ C U Again was really good! I had never heard it until now so it was a treat :) I enjoyed the beat especially ✨ Kinda curious what your #1 favorite is now though :P As for me…mmm…I’ll have to give it some thought. I love so many songs so let’s take a rain check for now! When I know for sure what it is I’ll recommend it one week! :D

2024-06-26 05:19:23 +0000 UTCGood to hear! And also ..gee, thank you for that, now that's all I'm gonna think too!

2024-06-26 05:10:01 +0000 UTCI love cel shading too, definitely a big favorite of mine! It really makes the colors pop :) I have a friend who does oil painting and it’s amazing. I was never a big painter myself but love watching others do it ^_^

2024-06-26 05:07:17 +0000 UTCI had a lot of fun Cody, thank you! I hope you had a nice weekend too ^_^ You can never go wrong with cute Chibi art. Gotta love those big eyes/heads and bold lines ❤️ I also agree with what you said about Genshin. The art/character designs are really good ✨

2024-06-26 05:03:35 +0000 UTCBased off your description I think you and I have similar art likes. I love scratchy/sketchy stuff. Bold lines are chef’s kiss and watercolors are just so pretty ✨ That’s funny you said it sounded like an anime opening because I think it is! When I typed it up Frieren showed :) That really is a great song and loved it in the anime ❤️

2024-06-26 05:01:44 +0000 UTCYou can never go wrong with Linkin Park or Rise Against, both very good bands! ❤️ I definitely agree with you on the 90’s/early 2000’s anime style. It just hits different and I love it. Stuff like Cowboy Bebop are chef’s kiss ✨

2024-06-26 04:54:55 +0000 UTCThanks Delta, I appreciate it! I think they had a nice birthday and I got some good food out of it too :P Oh Volbeat! They have a lot of good songs for sure. I can’t help but think of the Pokemon when I see their name though haha! XD

2024-06-26 04:52:47 +0000 UTCI've always liked the lanky anime style from things like Trigun.

2024-06-25 02:11:41 +0000 UTCIn music video the big demon guy looked extremely similar to the titans in Doom Eternal, which is cool cuz the designs in that game are great. I'm going to recommend the song Higher than Death by 3TEETH. The funny thing is that it's featuring Mick Gordan who did the music for the new doom games which are some of the best video game music ever made. As for favorite art styles, I've always liked the art style from Darkest Dungeon, the art just looks so destitute which fits the game since well it's a pretty grim game. However if I have to pick one that's my favorite to draw it would be pointillism, it's very time consuming but it's always seem easy, I mean if you mess up then it's just a dot. I actually gave a girl I liked a rose done with only pointillism when I was in high school, maybe that's lame but I was smooth about it. I actually had a question for you Alichu, since I know you've mentioned his work before, I was wondering why you like Lovecraft's work and what you think the main draw of it is.

2024-06-25 02:09:30 +0000 UTCI like watercolor art too, particularly watercolor drawings of plants. They just have a serene feel to them https://www.deviantart.com/magicalwatercolor/art/Spring-909452520 In terms of art types, I like sprawling landscapes such as historical settings, fantasy, sci-fi, cityscapes, or the countryside. One of my favorite comic books is Little Nemo In Slumberland for it's gorgeous art. It's over 100 years old and it still has some of the best art I've ever seen. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/Little_Nemo_1911-04-09.jpg

2024-06-24 23:14:50 +0000 UTCI feel like there should've been a side by side view of the Squirrel and the Skunk because with both backgrounds looking similar, it feels like it was ment to be a duo audio. Ronald sounded as intense as it looks. Not bad ngl. For my song recommendation, I think I'm gonna go with one that's a bit more on the side of energy and such. One of my songs I listened to while exercising during my band warm-up stretches. Something Big by Shawn Mendes. Really like the hype it gives you. It's obvious we know what art style we like... it's alichu art style. I mean its in the name and it's obviously gonna be the best :P. On the real though, I don't have a favorite art style, I just like anything that looks cool. And now that we're on the topic of art, I recently saw the Mogu Mogu art and there are several things I've been thinking about from that. For starters, how in the world is that not claimed as nsfw art, let alone even have an nsfw version. Next is that I'm surprised you've done a Hololive character which hypes me up(personally like Mori Calliope more but you already know that because of that thing I bought. If you don't remember then feel free to ask what it was again) Also not to mention that I understand the statement of never doing nsfw asmr, but you never said anything of nsfw art for sfw asmr on here(I say that because YouTube would just strike you down and we don't want that). I only say this as an idea and also a thought, not something that is gonna be made unless you want to because its always your decision. To wrap all this up now, it's gonna be some news. This week during Thursday, I'm doing another hospital check-up for "supposedly" the final time, and I may leave Friday on vacation for 2 weeks, the first being in Texas(probably Dallas), and the next one in Chicago( the cheese is under the sauce lol).

2024-06-24 18:05:04 +0000 UTCHappy belated Birthday to your family member from the ali cats! Great to hear you had a splendid time! I myself attended my uncles birthday recently. Got to see one of my cousins whom I haven't seen since 2015, kinda crazy! I feel bad that I'm the only one who had a concern about the new thumbnail style ;_; It is good, don't get my wrong! However, I do have a suggestion if you don't mind experimenting? Keep the style as it is, but make the colour scheme more resemblant of the setting or character's habitat (for monster girls). If it you feel it doesn't work out, that's completely fine. I love a variety of art styles; chibi/thick lines like your style, anime style, realistic, etc... Cartoon style might be my choice because it kinda gives a tiny bit of all; which is one reason I draw in that style. Aww yeee, another Falling In Reverse recommendation. Let's go. "Ronald" was cool, I thought the video looked familiar, but I don't recall the actual song. I love the way that band merges certain genres together. Speaking of genres, I mentioned I was going to recommend some DnB. Me talking about "cartoons" earlier gave me a daring idea; to recommend you my #2 favourite song of all time. 😖 "C U Again" by Cartoon Maybe next, I'll share my dearest #1 favourite song. ❤ If you haven't already, maybe you could share your #1 favourite of all time as well!

2024-06-24 16:12:14 +0000 UTCI'm not really artsy so I don't have the words or understanding to describe that stuff, but I typically like things with lots of color. Oil paintings tend to be a favorite of mine and the one term I've heard of that I know I usually like is cel-shading since that's the look games like Okami and Wind Waker have.

2024-06-24 14:43:03 +0000 UTCHow dare you enjoy a family member's birthday, Ali! We demand you to give us your full attention 24/7 😡 No but seriously, hope you had fun, I really like the background in this art - makes the whole thing pop. It's hard to describe my favourite art style, I guess its the more stylized, fantasy look, not too detailed either. Genshin Impact is probably the best example, some of the character designs in that game are top shelf. I also have a big soft spot for chibi art!

2024-06-24 06:27:26 +0000 UTCI find myself liking a variety of art styles. I do find myself drawn to cel-shaded with notable lineart, water color painterly look, and even a scratchy style. For music, I liked "hareru" by Yorushika, sounds like an anime opening. I've been listening to The Police recently, and I found it interesting the few songs I recognized by them

2024-06-24 02:46:50 +0000 UTCI've been enjoying listening to alot of old school bands like link park or rise against it gives me alot of nostalgia I love the ghost notes ablum from rise against and I love burn it down and castle of glass from linkin park soooo much. I'm not sure if I have a particular art style I like but there are a few I like the classic or old anime style from like the 90s and 2000s or the style of cartoons from that same era or I love it when there is alot of details in the world of that show or anime

2024-06-24 02:36:37 +0000 UTCHope your weekend ended up being good, and that your relative had a good bday! And I do like the thumbnail! Like I said before, gives a nice splash of color without distracting from the main piece :p Oh man, I haven't heard that band in a bit! I'll have to listen to it! One song I've been enjoying recently is Doc Holiday by Volbeat, though, I think my coworker has been obsessed with it haha, also been enjoying Halestorm and Skillet recently, no particular song though Huh... I never put much thought into that, I guess I'm not really picky when it comes to the art style or type, I do like your style though!
