Anonymous asked: are your deer girl illustrations done using the pen tool?

Nope, they’re all digital painting with a hard brush and not much blending. Due to my inexperience using paths and vectors it would probably take me two or three times as long to do these illustrations with the pen tool.

21. Bad art exists. It is out there, everywhere. It fails to draw connections between topics in any interesting or meaningful way, and in that sense bad art is like a bad analogy. If I said an expression like, ‘Steve is such a baby,’ you understand that by comparing Steve and a Baby I am making reference to some aspect of Steve’s behaviour being childish, that he’d be whining or complaining about something that grown individuals shouldn’t be complaining about. But if I said something like, ‘a bee is a wasp,’ you might just be under the assumption that I’ve made a mistake, because the things I am comparing are so close together. Likewise there is no extra meaning to be gleaned from comparing two things that people accept to have nothing in common, like, ‘a bee is like a table.’ The things are too far removed and you can’t really know what it is I’m getting at unless I qualify that with an extra sentence, like the punchline of a joke. There is some sweet spot in the degree of relation between the elements that you put into art that makes people somehow come out of it more ideas than they had going in, and there isn’t exactly a science to it, but I can spot a shitty metaphor when I see one.

Something like that anyway.

Fuck that’s a lot of numbers but some of them I already answered so

4. I have absolutely no idea what defines my artistic style. I’m vaguely aware that I’m quite line-heavy, and my sense of colour is functional enough to compliment these lines.

7. You drive a hard bargain anon

Robert: Rosalind, is this really necessary?

Rosalind: I’m sure Dewitt won’t miss a bullet or two.

10. What I like most about my art is that my style is highly efficient for drawing great butts

Anonymous asked: excuse me good tumblrite but it seems that you have more than your fair share of talent. in fact the amount you have right now is absurd and illegal. i am going to have to confiscate it.

You’ll have to catch me first

Anonymous asked: If it's not too much of a bother... could you... scan and upload some of those Lutece sketches? I really do love them. uvu

Actually, you’ve already seen quite a few of those sketches! They’re mostly scratch work for the shined-up Lutece drawings I’ve been posting (if you look at the page at the front of the stack, you can see the base drawings for Rosalind in a corset and another two for her with messy hair, as well as some attempts to do Professor Layton style Lutece). Provided I don’t spontaneously lose interest in drawing Lutece art, most of the sketches will likely make their way to my tumblr in completed form. It’s just part of my (probably inefficient) workflow.

Anonymous asked: How did you get so good at art?

I trained in the darkness of night for a hundred years to become the artist I am today

sleepless, stressful, skype-filled nights and countless dates with paper and photoshop

Anonymous asked: It was a good follow up, my warm heart says thank you to both of you <3 Also, did you intend to write lutece?

Let me show you a small part of the depths of my love for the Luteces

These are the doodles and sketches of the Rosalind and Robert I’ve done on loose sheets of paper in the last 2 weeks or so.
