not actually silly; unsolicited advice about a thing that helped me 

@jk sorry if you're not looking for tips, but just in case it helps, the most helpful thing for me was to pay super-extra careful attention to the proportions of what i was drawing

use a reference, and see how far away things are from each other, or how the size of something compares to other things

for example, realizing pichu's head is twice the size of their body isn't super-obvious, but instantly made mine much better

i'm really happy with how this turned out!

(i was just doing some color experimentation on my phone)

@jk oh! that second part might be where i'm going wrong

it seems that learning to draw is all about making lines with your pen in the right places and not in the wrong ones

@codl and to think all this time we thought mario 64 was an only child!

this has a real impact on the genealogy of the 64 family

@codl there are two types of dark themes:

1) high contrast with beautiful accents and color combinations with a background that doesn't hurt to stare at
2) (hacker voice) i'm in

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh yeah! my first kirby game actually was kirby's adventure, which nightmare in dreamland is a remake of!

amazing mirror also used be my favorite before the 3ds games happened, hee

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh! yeah! i highly recommend kirby games in general--i don't think a bad one exists

robobot is definitely my favorite, but superstar is probably one of the most loved games in the series~

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh! oh! whatcha listening to?

i personally really love the robobot credits theme: youtube.com/watch?v=SQ2is_ghY9

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz it's true! now i just gotta convince the emotional part of me

(also, thank you! ^^)

i know this is wrong and self-gatekeepy, but a part of me still doesn't actually consider myself a real artist for some reason

hee, maybe this will be enough to accept it more!
