The visual aids were certainly powerful, but it’s your specific mood, mindset, words, phrasings and approach that I’ve always found enchanting. Your vibes are far more compelling, long-term, than your art. At least to me.

Also congrats on moving out of a bad situation!! That’s a great life shift.

A genuine and welcome surprise to get such a cute piece, and in such an adorable style too! You best believe I’m reenacting that hug next time I see you, and many more times to come! 💙💜

Koinko, beloved friend. Thank you.

Te lo agradezco de corazón.

To see the things you make fills me with joy, because the world is more beautiful or enchanting when it flows from your fingers.

To be the subject is both honor and privilege.

Please save the originals. I’m getting this framed. 💜

There are so many transitions of gentle shadows. When you started sharing ‘pixels’ from this, I could already tell that you were detailing this so deep I’ll be finding secrets encoded into it for the next 5 years.

You drew me impossibly pretty, rising towards the sun and grinning into the deeps.

It’s actually impossible for me to totally capture everything I love about this, in words. Even after all the yapping I did when you showed it to me.

The whales in the background have actual detailing and features.
The streams of water have internal specular effects like galaxies or nebula.

Oh my goodness, Feral…! Thank you! A?!?! I am blown away by this - I absolutely love the fit and that hanging … moon? PLANET? … in the background, this is such a gorgeous, surreal and otherworldly scene. I also adore that from the perspective it’s equally likely Tay is towering over the viewer…~ 💜💜💜

Hell yes. Become ungovernable, pretty ‘yotter. 💜

The portraits are clearly too powerful and intimidating for people to gaze upon for long~ But at least they slew their ‘targets’, mmmh?

What a lovely journey. And what a lovely inspiration, too. Honestly, seeing this, as someone who still occasionally gets pangs to do some forms of art, is pretty inspiring. How much you’ve managed with geometry and standard colors in creating such beautiful things… gosh. 💜

you are
outrageously unfair

how can one person
teach me so many new ways
to love myself?

💜

And because I would never ask anyone to do anything I’m not willing to do myself:

If you’re down for helping out a cool, funny, witty, silly-voiced, Amazonian purple trans snep girl, please help me get eyes on her Ko-Fi. Rest assured she is working her butt off to pursue all other methods of funding this rough patch, too.

It’s a rough time out there for all of us, I know it is. But I’m gonna drop her Ko-Fi, and I’m gonna ask you to boost it. If you can donate, that helps, but getting eyes on it is most important. Nuri has just moved, escaped multiple awful situations, and is rebuilding her life from nothing.

Gosh, this is stunning. @.@ You have such a way with shapes and color contrasts.

The Viwi seems like it might be a good fit. The Foxigen is a possibility, the Aspil is basically a fox snake anyway…

Happy birthday, Sparky! May it be as joyous as you are kind. <3
