Description

Happiness is a loaded gun 
And I wave in their faces til there ain’t anyone 
I’ll blame it on rock and roll  🎶 

I got an anonymous message telling me to check out Philipp Plein’s 2019 ready-to-wear line presented at Milan Fashion Week , and BOI thank you for the suggestion. I had lichterally been wondering if I had run out of juice for the scrappers’ band!AU but this effectively got me back on my shit lmao

Thanks for looking! I’ll get back on answering messages soon

And if you guys like seeing my work, please consider sending me a tip on Ko-fi!
Check out the individual shots on Tumblr!

NAFISAH this is SO GOOD;;;; The way you handle rendering different materials in clothes, objects, etc, comes together so, so super well in this piece. It's just such a good example of how you can really distribute a lot of amazing detail alongside more minimal parts where the eye can rest. I feel like I've complimented you on that before, but this drawing really demonstrates your mastery with that balancing act. It's so much fun to look at ;____;


also who can say no;; to this;; excellent color scheme, you really knocked this piece out of the ballpark!


also omg eats up chunky font for dinner GOD I JUST. THIS REALLY gets me in all the right places my crops are w a t e r e d ; ; ; ; ;

LAN I'MMA CRY
Thank you so much!! I've been a little obsessed with the theme of pairing hyper-detail with graphic-simplicity and it's always NICE to get some positive feedback on it.
And honestly I wasn't kidding when your SEAU inspired me. The blocky text here was all cause I wanted to play with typography again after seeing those pics, SO YOU HAVE YOURSELF TO THANK.
THANK YOU

I like that you're alternating the body types of your characters. The attention to detail that you spend on each character is really impressive as well, particularly with your custume designs.

I feel like clothes and costumes should compliment their wearers and put a lot of effort into it-- I'm so flattered you notice!
