Rocket Punching His Way Into Your Heart!
it's interesting to see how this blog has evolved as an almost art portfolio for you, just looking over the years shows a lot of changes

I think it’d have to be way more organized to be a portfolio but yeah I do just kind of dump everything here. I’d like to make a proper portfolio when I have enough pieces I’m confident in, though!

hey, i've started on learning a language recently, specifically korean. do you have any advice in learning a language that helped you that could help me as well? (i do practice daily on both reading and speaking in the language)

Firstly, motivation is super important. Every language learner, like artists, will hit a wall and burn out. They’ll feel like they’re not learning anything new, but that’s part of the process. My favorite method to employ so I don’t get burned out as easily is the Pomodoro Method

Otherwise, just keep doing what you’re doing consistently. Once you build up enough vocabulary and grammar, find interesting material in your target language and read it. If the material comes with audio and a transcript, even better. Even if you don’t understand anything, you’ll start to notice that the most important words and grammatical points will repeat. Make note those repetitions and then look them up later. 

As for learning vocabulary by itself many people use SRS (space repetition systems). They’re basically digital flashcards. Most people use Anki for desktop or Memrise on one’s browser or phone. 

Hope that helps a bit!

Cheers!

i like to think that under all that fur, vinny has a musclechub body, additional plushness but he's capable of being very strong (he'd probably break 50 sweats through). add those together and you got a great hugger

One of the reasons I designed Vinny with very simple round shapes is so people could easily project those kind of details if they’d like to~ 

Was the character Togashi mostly just your own thing, or were there characters that heavily inspired their design?

For the most part I threw his design together relying on instinct.

His name is based off Yoshihiro Togashi, the creator of Yu Yu Hakusho who started his career with a werewolf manga one-shot called I’m Not Afraid Of The Wolf! 

But as far as design, I would say the Cyborg 009 jackets were an influence on his shirt buttons and legs were intentionally a call back to Lupin the 3rd. 

Have you seen or heard of the character Kintaurus from the game "sb69/Show By Rock!!"? He could probably fit into the group of canid musician characters as well.

I am peripherally aware of the SBR cast. He does indeed look like a cool dog!
