How Does Mer Lunar Feel About Having His Hat Played With?

how does mer lunar feel about having his hat played with?

mf- i said not to ask-

think about it this way, normally it's just a hat, a piece of clothing

this here is a fin (ig?). a part of his body. smth he can feel when touched.

and it's sensitive. if smth even grazes against it - he will feel it. now, depending on the intent of the touch, u can get various reactions out of him. (or none at all, it's like if u smeer ur shin against a rock, u acknowledge it but don't really care)

and yes, he did found out about its sensitivity bc of Gemini. sue me.

also the same thing goes for all of his tentacles.

do with that knowledge what u want.

and before anyone even dares to ask.

the question if he squirts ink shall not be answered.

don't even try.

An idea I really want to draw but I don't have the motivation to:

Mer! Lunar: Gemini.

Mer! Gemini: wha-

Mer! Lunar: GEMINI!

Mer! Gemini: WHAT?-

Mer! Lunar: Stop. Putting a BOW. On my fin hat.

Mer! Gemini: ..No 😃.

Mer! Lunar: 😭-

( @piowasthere's AU, btw)

i wonder if lunar hat would be fun to fidget and play with

u heard the star.

(I know I don’t really ask for drawings but I want to because I feel like trash and I know I’m going to have a bad day today)

Can you draw me giving a flower to Solar and kissing his forehead? He deserves all the love in the universe right now

hope u'll feel better <3

have these 2 doodles i speedran for u,

Hello!

I’m curious- how long does it take to draw a sketch versus a rendered drawing?

I really love your art! It always amazes me with how detailed it turns out to be.

I hope you have a great week!

it really, really depends

a doodle like the ones i often do for the asks can take up from literally 5 min to i'd say 30 min? depends if i want to shade it in any way tbh

as for full rendered pieces - hours, usually days i can do one in one day (hard to call it a day when i start at like 12pm end up 4am but ykwim) but it can also take like 3 or 5 depending on how many breaks i take

honestly comes down to how many characters and the environment cuz the thing that takes up the most time, i'd say is coloring and shading i can sketch up pretty quickly and i don't go for super clean, smooth line art anyway i like the messy, free style (also saves a lot of time) so filling in the colors takes a bit and i honestly don't enjoy it all that much (that's why most doodles r just shaded and not colored)

and then it just comes down to what the bg is and how it affects the char cuz then it's just shading both to fit in, to look natural and blend tgt nicely (or not at all cuz i like funky, neon and eyestrain lol)

2 pieces i can think of rn that took me the longest (that i still consider fresh enough to take up for consideration) r the SAMS anniversary art and first piece for my Calamari Lunar i did both took me like a week from what i can remember

the former bc of the amount of characters on it, each one had to be done fully and separately so it just took a bit the latter cuz it's a really detailed, lineless, heavily shaded (also cuz it was me designing a char, so it always takes a bit back and forth until it just feels right)

i'd love to give u actual numbers, but i don't keep track of it that much and my program doesn't say it either (at least idk abt it) so i'm just going off of my memory, how long i feel like it took and mayhaps looking at dates of when i send a friend a sketch, when i first started talking abt it, the file info vs the posting date but usually idc enough to do so, and often it just simply isn't possible

TL;DR a doodle can take like 5-30 min and rendered shit a few days most often cuz i'm slow af; it all comes down to what the piece is

also tysm! so glad u enjoy my little hellhole wonderland of mental instability and mostly just thirst traps! :D

yall have no idea how actually happy it makes me when ppl notice small details i put into my work there's just smth in my brain that says it needs to have so many lil details and things and be so well done even if it's gonna get blurred out, shaded til binary and covered by 8 diff layers of shit

das the talk.
